How to fix: Endgame, Gear Progression and Ressource Imbalances all at once

[Flawless]

@Flawless

Common complaints about the game include:

• lack of endgame and gear progression
• too much RNG in itemization makes it near impossible to get the desired items
• items can retroactively get bricked by balance changes that directly or indirectly affect the value of Perks and Blessings
• Diamantine is effectively pointless, since Plasteel is always the bottleneck

Below, you can see the original announcement of what crafting was supposed to be in Darktide. Hmmmmmmm.

We have learned a lot from our previous choices and gameplay surrounding crafting offered within the Vermintide series. For Darktide we wanted to take those lessons to expand and improve in such a way that crafting would become a central pillar of player progression, while giving more impact and agency to you, the player in your preferred playstyle.

The nature of randomization and repetitive actions sometimes seen within crafting is something that we are steering to avoid in the crafting system within Darktide. Meaningful choices will be made with strategy and goals behind them, as you set your eyes upon that perfect combination of melee and ranged weapons for your class.
