and rightly so; I forgot to screencap but sistersepticemia had some penance challenges in a screenshot for her discord profile pic and one of the challenges was literally ‘kill nothing in a Damnation game and finish with no ammo as veteran’. I have no idea why they couldn’t just incorporate those CAREERS they just made, like throwing knife a special/elite in 2s or yell a boss off a cliff or something. those would be normal gameplay encouraging and not require HAS TO BE DONE IN PRIVATE :^]]]] flags.

Well they most likely will/do have those sort of penance, but they made redacted penance because honestly those are special goals that old game often had, those whacky stuff they dev made you do, and all that.
There are for example the datamined Moebian sets for the Ogryn, it seem sensible for me that those will be “normal” penances, in the same manner that the Prisoner ones are.
Why would any of this be the customers problem? I am so tired of hearing excuses for corpos that bill us for a reshade of a skin or some other absolutely irrelevant thing, and are unable or unwilling to just make sure that i don’t see error 2014 every third game, or get out of memory error, or any of the thousand other issues. I don’t care who does what in the dev team. I am the customer. I am willing and able to spend my money on a product that is worth it. I have almost nothing but a constant feeling of regret looking at this game. This is THE IP that I want to play. Not SSKTJL, nod HELLDIVERS, not some other co-op. This is the setting that I want to play. Even the skins… the 2 week release system is beyond foolish. It is extremly frustrating and I have no clue who in their right mind thought that it will tie the player to the game more. I just hate it, every single time I see something I would possibly want to buy but can’t because ef you this was released 3 months ago.

Oh wow we have a raging bout of exaggeration and another circle jerk from all of the forum lemmings.
Oh wow, it’s the guy who’s entire posting history on this forum is literally drive-by complaining about other people complaining

Who the F is WE?
5k players currently. The game is literally dying. But sure. Nothing to talk about. Just accept that this is the best that you can get. A broken product that barely works, that basically is waiting for a coup de grâce. And you have the audacity to call others lemmings. I hope you get a decent check for defending this. Otherwise I have no idea why would anyone value his own time so little to defend greedy, lazy, incompetent dev teams for free.

A broken product that barely works? Your perspective is broken buddy. Listen to yourself. I play every night. The game works beautifully(except for the odd silent burster). I never have any issues getting a good pug maelstrom going. You are just a forum nerd trying to pretend you can influence devs from behind your keyboard. You lemmings have been on this forum for months now. It’s so sad. You’re now just some pathetic remnant of the gamers vs devs mentality.
There’s so much projection here I’m surprised you don’t work for a movie theater.
More to the point however, looking at the last 3 months of player stats on Steam, including the holidays (the largest videogame selling period of the year):
There are clearly issues with the game such that player retention is a huge problem, and pretending otherwise is insane.

Its an action game that’s been out for over a year. Wtf do you expect? This isn’t an MMO. Plus the game is only fun for people who are actually good at games. Most people can’t finish a heresy run let alone damnation. Why are you fixated on steam numbers? You are all just trying to have your forum circle jerk. You’ve all completely lost perspective.
“Works for me therefore everybody else is lying and wrong”.
5k people playing. Tell me, when you get spat on, do you just call it free DLC?

That’s a pretty wild way to react to some objective observations but by all means, keep it up.

Okay so you’re retort is that I’m magically playing a beautifully working masterpiece of a game, but you are playing some other crappy version of the game and that 5k people must be playing my version of the game and there should be more than 5k people playing?
Okay so you are talking about ease of access to numbers, but I was asking about why you care about said numbers…
New all time high for online and uptrend after. Like it was with other 4 coop fps less then in year after release.
You mean for people who has no work and private life so they can waste their time in gacha, lol
Git gut at trolling buddy

Okay, so you are yet another lemming worried about numbers. Okay. DeepRock is a great game. They constantly update it too. Anyone can enjoy it.
Two things: First, Darktide has been sold as an ongoing live-service game (or so Fatshark has said), so it should be looking to sustain some level of consistent playerbase as opposed to something like a single player game where everyone buys and beats it in the first couple months and moves on. Steam numbers give us something to go on and tell us what players are actually doing, this is the kind of thing people actually look at and make decisions on.
Second, let’s compare to the direct competition of other coop shooters.
First up, Helldivers II, the new kid on the block (from an IP with zero name recognition to bank on the way Darktide is with 40k). Barely even out, it can’t even accommodate all the people who want to play. It’s got 4x the all-time peak Darktide players already, and about two orders of magnitude more people playing at this moment.
L4D2, from 2009.
Deep Rock Galactic from 2018
Payday2 from 2013
And finally let’s throw in another FS title, VT2, from 2018
So, let’s be real, looking at the competition, Darktide and FS games aren’t exactly doing stellar.

Wow look at those numbers. Another lemming concerned about numbers.
Bruh, stop being a clown. Growing community is what healthy for the game

Who’s growing community? All I see are whiners who play the forums.
