Well i would start this entire topic by saying entire existance of armoury exchange is a massive problem that needs attending to but i guess people at fatshark wants everyone to log in every hour for some reason. Well i would like to say that yes, the current way of obtaining gear does achieve that, i am in fact logging in every hour so i can actually experiance more of the content that i paid for. However there will be a point where all this pointless RNG progression will get me sick and tired of this game and many others.
Let me start by making this very clear Fatshark, you don’t need arbitrary RNG to keep Darktide alive. Gear progression has never been the main topic of progression in tide games, it was always getting mechanicly good at the game. But for some reason you decided to leave all the effort and success you had in Vermintide games and now you are trying to turn the series into something its not supposed to be. As a person who spent thousands of hours in V2 i kinda feel betrayed tbh. After all the support i have shown this RNG progression mobile game design was not what i deserved.
Anyways, here is my general experiance with armoury exchange;
I am checking the shop with my Psyker, out of 16 items in the shop there are only 2 staffs and 0 rapiers, force swords. 2. Thats what i get. 2 class specific items.
I am checking the shop with my Veteran, i get 3 autopistols, 3 devils claw swords, 3 autoguns, few axes and some shotguns mixed with terribly rolled lasguns. 0 class specific wepaons. No plasma guns, no power swords, nothing.
I am checking the shop with my Zealot, i get unbelievable amounts of heavy swords(terribly underperforming weapon), again tons of devil claws that i will never ever use, few axes and combat knives.
I haven’t seen a single 380 roll in my entire 220 hours of gameplay. Hell literally %99 of time weapon i want is not even in the shop. This entire way of acquiring gear is a pure chore and makes me want to go back and play V2. I do not know how and who decided implementing this type of design but it feels terrible. This “game” feels more like a job at this point that i have to log in ever 1 hour in order to get highest possiblity on getting something i want.
Idk what you can do to fix this mess and to be honest i don’t know if i even care at this point. I haven’t participated in a worse game release than this in my entire life. Everything about this game makes me annoyed and tired. I am sick of giving the same feedback over and over again, and i know a lot of other people brought up how bad armoury exchange is aswell.
Just don’t try to dismantle the community you managed to build with vermintide. You don’t need cheap RNG to keep us logged in and you know it. Just give us good challanging content.
