Fatshark, lets talk the state of Darktide and Comms

You’re probably right and it’s probably hopeless, but sometimes I feel like I gotta try. For Gandalf.

I have tried all I can… and Cerebrophage is back on my Ignore list.

Cerebrophage and TrueZealot both really seem to have it out for ME specifically… maybe because they actually KNOW that I have them on my Ignore list?

(I say that because both of them are always responding to ME, who has them on Ignore and even informed them of that, when other users have said the exact same thing prior to myself… this has been pointed out to me by other users in DMs)

I dunno… all that matters now is that no one gives them the satisfaction.

That’s funny, I didn’t use chat GPT in that post at all. I wonder what has you so bugged about it to automatically make that assumption. Something to do with rent, perhaps.

With regards to other games, you’re absolutely right. Finally, we agree :slight_smile:

Zealot and Cerebrophage in Fatshark forums:

I just did it, but I really don’t like the whole concept of censoring people, even just for my own two eyeballs. But this fella… It’s like the man sources his opinions from an astral plane of insanity that is beyond the mettle of even my mind. I just had to for my own sanity’s sake.

This is going to sound patronizing but I really mean it; I hope whatever brain fog is making you think this way vacates your premises, Cerebro. I don’t think you’re stupid or unintelligent (you can articulate yourself well, even though the substance is usually wack), but I do think you’ve confused your feelings for the truth and you seem unable to see or acknowledge it. Heck, maybe I’m doing it too in this very moment, what do I know. Anyway… FS bad and all that. Let’s get back on track.

Homeslice that can all be true and it still doesn’t stop DRG from attracting an order of magnitude more players than Darktide is, so I’m not sure what your point is aside from other games aren’t perfect, which nobody will argue.

Same goes for whatever problems HD2 may have.

DT has some inherent basic problems that deter and drive players off in ways bugs in these other games do not. Simple as.

So I ended up running through the Book of Grudges and…

Well.

The thing that strikes me is that Fatshark appears just… unwilling to admit fault on an institutional level.

Like with the most recent thing. Admitting they’d planned on radium weapons and they couldn’t get them out in time would’ve been a bummer. But at least the radium weapons probably would’ve eventually shown up.

End result would’ve been more ‘y u so slow’ griping.

But claiming the vox intercept about radioactive ancient Mechanicus weaponry is instead about a weapon they’ve had since launch just makes everyone’s intelligence feel insulted and now the response of ‘good old plasma gun’ is sorta a meme.

Fatshark could make SO much progress with the community if they just leveled with us, admitted they’re screwing it up, and stopped pretending nothing was wrong.

But since Day One they’ve been totally unwilling to admit things even when their lies become blatantly obvious.

It bothers me a lot. Being able to openly admit fault is how things improve. The closest we got was the Open Letter and that was effectively a non-apology that after April 2023 was effectively meaningless.

Even before day one (if day one is the release). That beta blog post on how the character progression system was totally different to the one in Vermintide 2… despite it being blatantly not different and anyone in the beta could see that. Maybe it was just a beta thing? Nope. Release had the exact same system.

I guess it’s good they finally rolled out the character progression system they wanted after 13 months, but that blog still aged like milk when it was posted and kinda set the general tone of most communication going forward.

Exactly!

We all knew it was a placeholder. We all knew that it was hacked together at the last minute and that the class overhaul was the ‘real’ update.

It’s incredibly frustrating that Fatshark insisted on pretending otherwise. Nobody was fooled and it just makes the company look bad.

Either you learn to despise how fatshark are conduct themselves and are managed

Or

You go completely insane

There is no in between

I think the peak of that was them saying they would be quarterly new subclasses

For a entirely placeholder system they planned to replace

Releasing a vox cast teasing something that isn’t coming and then trying to gas light people that it’s something already in the game is just peak fatshark.
