Thanks for contributing! I’ve added a tally section at the top for reports from other players.
Did you close the game or play a suboptimal mission?
ENTRY 9: 14:30 US Central on 03/31/2023
I chose to play Consignment Yard HL17-36 because I needed 3 more grimoires for my weekly challenge. Decidedly suboptimal but I guess I did play for the brief period I had open to me to play right now.
I didn’t even log in tbh, I just check the website to see if anything worth playing. Thankfully, a hi intensity shock mission came up soonish. But SADLY, they appear to have rotated conditions again, so hi intensity shock troops is off the board entirely now – new thing is sniper gauntlet.
I actually made this thread after a number of other people complained about the issue I was also experiencing. I invite anyone else who wants to contribute their negative experience trying to play the game.
I’m not some dope who thinks everyone is playing the game at the same level of difficulty as me. But I do want to be able to play the game the way I want to play it. I think that’s possible with the current system. Something as simple as minimum 1 hi int 1 low int and 1 standard with the 3 available damnation games would be enough.
I am actually going to play (in the psychanium) but I would otherwise not over this. The reason being that I want to record some footage of eviscerator, chainsword and chain axe right now. Because chain weapons are really disappointing and need something.
I appreciate you posting at a high frequency about how this system is leading to player dissatisfaction. Hopefully that helps Fatshark realize that their bandaid fix of just adding more missions available at once isn’t the solution to the root of the issue.
It’s frankly getting ridiculous, it has been 3 days straight with almost only low intensity modifiers, all that’s left is doing regular damnation runs which aren’t particularly challenging either
They know people aren’t particularly happy with low intensity and yet they decided to mix it with the new conditions
Oh you got shock troops ? Too bad, low intensity
See that new Sniper condition ? Guess what, low intensity
I’m starting to think the reason they spam it is because the servers are so garbage they can’t handle even regular Damnation spawns anyway
I’ll add a +1 from you. I have a limited window to play today and I am not in love with what is on the board. Why, exactly, in any case are there confounding factors on the introductory difficulty level? Who wants to play hardmode lite with extra snipers and no visibility? Is this actually serving anyone? If its the training wheels difficulty what’s the point?
Must be padding.
unless…are there really players who play this mode? I’d love to see the numbers.
ENTRY 11: around 17:00 -ish. I had time for two games with a friend. Both were suboptimal.
ENTRY 12: 21:40 Central US - 04/01/2023 I have about 1.5 hours to play this evening. My vacation is drawing to a close, many chores are done. Time to bonk heretics. Hmm, wait a minute…what exactly happened to hi-int anyway? I only ever see low int sniper mode and regular int sniper mode. Wasn’t there a hi-int sniper mode? What is this? April Fools?
ENTRY 13: 22:18 04/01/2023
I played one mission, the silo cluster one (i love the staircase start of that map. Its always a disaster).
It was fine at first but man it really slowed down. Literally like 1800 enemies in the run. We hardly got hordes at all. I basically just used the slug on my agripinaa for most of the mission and with two vets I wasn’t getting to shoot that many snipers (thanks for the good showing lads).
And with this I am out for the night despite having another hour or so of available time to play.
Yeah i just stare at the screen and turn the game off if there is no hi shock troop. Idk how hard it is to include it. Now all i see is dogs so they likely disabled shock troop this week which would suck massively
Entry 16: 20:45 US Central.
its been a long day, I have many responsibilities in my regular life so spending a few hours on a week day evening is a luxury I don’t often have. Unfortunately my session was cut short almost immediately. I played half a round, we died at the midway, it cycled off and now its all Low Int.
