I can't wait for the next update, where they announce a couple bugfixes and "internal discussions"

Boy, I sure love waiting for weeks on end just to learn that Fatshark’s marquee title is still on maintenance mode.

Just love it.

Anybody else prepared to be entirely underwhelmed, despite low expectations?

I hope to be whelmed.

Set expectations low and won’t be disappointed.

My dealer won’t respond… Does anyone have any Hopium left to spare?

I’m just thrilled to hear about how those internal discussions are definitely still happening! They are definitely listening to community concerns, maybe they’ll announce the ability to unlock weapon perks using Aquilas? Exciting times!

The cope in me hopes for some withheld should have been in the game content like the 40+ missing variants announcement. Or those vox trailers from before they abandoned story mode. Something.

I know it will just be 2 weeks until the next update with no info about anything though.

Everything I like; nerfed into the ground. Everything I don’t like; buffed.
My feedback; used against me.

There hasn’t been a single update to this game that makes me feel like FS is trying to make significant improvements or is taking their hemorrhaging player count seriously. It’s too little too late every single time. At this rate I’ll be more surprised if the servers haven’t been shut down by this time next year.

Ya’ll need a break, luckily Remnant 2 just came out, Armored Core 6 is about to next month, and FFXVI is out for anyone on here with a PS5. Lots of great action games hitting the shelves this summer.

Sounds like you didn’t feed back hard enough.

I lost hope when they kept promising to give us a community update on Darktide’s awful release, only for it to take weeks, and when the finally made a community update, it had a lukewarm reception.

More like Slaanesh. But also…

I’m pretty numb to it by now. I expect nothing much from them until another 3 months or so.

Bleak.

3 please those are rookie numbers… I bet 6-9 months at best.

FS currently working on the console release…

Im not surprised the next comlink would be the last one for a while… Easier to go radio silent at this point rather than trying to communicate the nothingness and flip it as content…

That’s the thing, maybe this sort of roadmap worked acceptably for their past games but with all the titles launching this year now isn’t the time to half-ass it.

I fear for the day when Baldur’s Gate 3 releases, nearly every person and friend I play with has been eyeing that game and that’s not even mentioning all the other bangers that have been coming out.

I have heard the same “this will kill darktide” line with Redfall, Diablo 4, exoprimal, and starship troopers extermination :joy:

I couldn’t see any noticeable difference atall in player count during their launch weeks on any of the statistics and graphs for DT. Nada.

Maybe it could be argued it has had a long term effect, but tbh I think Fatshark doesn’t need any help f*cking their game and can do it just fine in a vacuum :no_mouth:

Nah, these are some odd games to kill Darktide. It was obvious Redfall will fail, Deathloop was mediocre, and fortnight-farcry chimera Redfall after that? It’s like Arcane was forced to do such game by publisher. D4 - modern Blizzard, nuff said. Exoprimal and STE - too indie, despite Exoprimal is made by Capcom, it’s just a very niche concept and doesn’t look like AAA horde shooter. Remnant 2, Payday 3 (i keep my expectations low), Space Marine (cause of coop), and Baldurs Gate 3 however can reduce DT’s online playerbase. I personaly played only 2-3 runs in DT since Remnant 2 early acces release, than i will move to BD3 and Armored Core. Before R2 release i was playing DT every evening. Oh also Phantom Liberty in september, what a year.
