any ETA on this mode? i recall pre release they said it was coming but was delayed… game been out nearly 18 months now whats the delay?
my mates and me all want to play but we have a rule no SP = no purchase as we like to warm up and practice solo while we wait for mates to finish work/house work before we game.
currently my mates have moved onto helldivers but ive always preferred 40k more so keeping hope this mode is still being patched in. any eta on it yet?
seems odd with how amazing vermintide 2 was for its story that darktide is lacking this basic mode that is a staple of the genre now.
As far as I know, solo mode has not been officially cancelled. But the most recent word we had on it was from (I believe, can’t pull the link right now) October 2023 and that word was essentially that it is/was not currently a priority. Before that, we were told it wasn’t up to snuff yet, and that’s easy to believe given the state of bots when playing solo mode with mods.
As an aside that doesn’t address your specific question/situation: if you’d like info on playing solo on PC (Steam and PC Gamespass) via mods, I’d be happy to assist!
i had heard it was low priority but last i saw was still being worked on/no formally dropped.
ive been using mods on steam for solo on a friends copy but the mods do not carry progress so are a bit of a pain in rear to use.
feel if i was going to get for me i would want it to have both coop with my friends but easy to use solo when they not around.
yeah, they don’t formally drop things because 1: the randomly restart things sometimes when one of the devs has a “Great idea for it” and 2: whenever they did that the playerbase goes rabid and it’s already attacking new players for not having played since release and trying to play above sedition.
If you haven’t given the Many More Try mod a shot, I recommend it! It’s a little cumbersome, but it provides the following tradeoffs: you lose the ability to use your own characters as bots (which has many survivability benefits, even if they can’t make use of most of their kit) but you gain the ability to progress and earn materials.
Essentially, the mod lets you solo queue by making it possible to access old servers that are no longer visible to, or joinable by, normal players.
