I’ve been playing Darktide on and off since launch, I love the game. The most recent update with the new penance system is absolutely wonderful. However there are still a few things I’d love to see changed in the game. The item system is really annoying still with how often you get bad stat totals and or distribution, and the amount of plasteel used is so annoying when you barely have any. But aside from a few qualms I really enjoy the game overall, so rather than ramble I’m gonna list a few things.
The Marksman’s Focus keystone is just, not interesting. In a game that is this hectic and fast paced, standing still just is not fun or interesting in my opinion.
The Commodores Vestures store should just have everything listed all the time instead of rotating in and out. I know for a fact I’d drop money to grab some cosmetics for stuff I use, but I can’t because they are not in the current rotation.
There are quite a few perks between the different operators that just are not worth taking, while others are just far better options.
This one is just for fun, but the Prayer Chimes weapon ornament should have a quiet jingling sound when they get moved around.
Edit: the item scores sold by the Armoury Exchange should not roll under a certain amount once you max out all four characters. There is no world where a 301 score item is worth anything past being new to the game.
Lol yeah I immediately equipped the little jingle bells to my zealots chainsword in the hope of some delicate little twinkles as I cleave entire hordes in half unfortunately no jingles that I could hear.
Yeah I really don’t know how that made it into the game, especially when DT discourages a far away backline sniper playstyle so much. Howevet while it deserves a redesign I would like the Psyker tree to get some much deserved love first.
Hate the cosmetic store, and this is the only positive change that I could ever see happening. However I still believe it’s unlikely, because people are begging for faster shop rotation times so they can give FS more money. It’s very sad.
What are you on about?
You do not have to stand still.
Before the buff, i would have agreed. But now?
3-6 seconds between shots is massive.
You get many stacks, which only wear off one by one if you stop shooting and move around.
Executioner’s Stance:
class ability with cooldown
buff with 5 seconds duration
buff wears off in an instant, if not refreshed
requires a kill of a marked enemy to refresh
Now you get Marksman’s Focus
keystone with no cooldown
buff with 6 seconds duration
buff wears off gradually, if not refreshed (does not wear off at all as long as you do not move)
can be refreshed by hitting or killing any enemy with a headshot
And suddenly 3-6 seconds for a refresh are so short, that it is terrible?
If the keystone got NERFED so that the buff simply wears off once that 3-6 seconds duration is over, even if you do not move, people would probably think that it is a buff and complain less than they do now.
Because people are not thinking and just see “oh no it forbids me to move”.
I am quite certain that anyone who still complains about this aspect of the keystone after the recent buff, has never actually used it.
I just personally think the standing still and crouch walking parts should go away. They aren’t the focus of the Keystone but they are still part of it. It’s got good bonuses and what not, but those two specific parts are just not interesting to interact with in my opinion.
I think they should just roll into the vein of weapon upgrades like Tacticus and allow us to spend resources to upgrade weapons to 80%.
The gaming atmosphere in other regions consider MTX in a different light, a status symbol of disposable income, Gacha genre. Polar opposite of the traditional gaming model in years past.
I wish FS would just come out and be transparent. This is the only way for us to find a true path to redemption.
Yeah even that would be better than ending up with rolls of like, 50% damage on what would have been a good roll. Also the limit of two changes per weapon kinda sucks too. Basically do you want to pick your blessings or refine the perks? I feel like the weapon grind is just not satisfying and could do with some changes to make it less painful and RNG.
Yea, I got lucky and grinded weapons early when they would actually drop gold rarity once every few games… then everyone complained and they changed it so you get garbo every match, havnt found anything since.
unfortunately no jingles that I could hear.
