Introduction to Havoc Game Mode - Dev Blog

Players means characters, right? Don’t get it, is it account wide system or character bound?
P.S. Seems like community asked for “Chaos wastes”, but somehow dev’s dislexia caused “Winds of magic” request. Poor dev’s.

Do you only take questions and this thing is settled in stone or do you also take feedback?

I’m fully aware that I can’t play this game solo, despite being told nearly 2 years ago that I could. Thanks for rubbing it in my face for the hundredth time…

Here’s a thought, maybe you should fulfill your promise and add solo mode so people who bought the game on the premise that they’d be able to play the game solo like every other extraction horde shooter/slasher, can actually play the game the way they find fun, instead of continuously adding new game modes with jabs at us solo players like this quote.

Edit: honestly, why even have a section titled “cooperative gameplay” when that’s literally the only option?

This can only be viable if…
You fix error 2000/2001/2004/3000/3013/5550/2014/ etc etc.
If someone loses their run because of these errors, you’ll have players just quit. For extensive consecutive wins, there needs to be no game ending bugs and crashes!
Don’t get me wrong, a chaos wastes (not weaves) in DT sounds great… but the way you word the ranking system presents MORE opportunities for a further thousand suck/die/leavers, trolling and ego hunts over teamplay etc. Do fixes. Do all the fixes. To make that 5% of players happy, just remove the “need 2 players” caveat from game mode and let them solo run. It’s what they really want, then concentrate on fixing the game ending errors, new levels and more story and such for the other 95% of players begging for such.

Whats to be done about the Melk system? It needs a rework given the rewards are negligible given the mastery system changes.

I can’t seem to find a way to create a poll on a new post. Would love to set one up as a new post asking for peoples order of preference on various new release updates.

If anyone is able to set it up then I think it would be a useful thing for FS to see

@FatsharkStrawHat I’m not gonna lie I’m a bit scarred !

I hope Fatshark know what they are doing with Havoc because on the paper it really looks like Winds of Magic and i have a lot of PTSD of the weaves who are coming back altogether.
And i can tell you that excepted that 1% players who are pure masochists nobody want that back in Vermintide 2.

I really really really hope it’s not the only content of the next update and we can expect new missions in Carnival, Omega 12 or new area alongside it …

Also now that i remembered do you have a way to fight Alt+F4 leavers in your new mode ? Because I’m pretty sure it will be pointless to lose rank when everybody else leave before you when things goes wrong.

No quickplay has me bummed. Meh :frowning:

Is this the famous “Fatshark designers thinking they know what the players want, better than the players themselves” again?

How about you do a bit more research about these kinds of things. Questionnaries, surveys, interviews. And then iterate on it.

Also sorry in advance for the pointed tone, its not directed at you Strawhat, but the designers in fatshark.

Why do you think. They said it themselves, they know what we want better than we do

I can’t karking believe that you could choose between two influences: (accursed) weaves and (glorious) chaos wastes and you karking chose the karking weaves to implement.

KARK…

You tell 'em brother! I don’t really care about solo, but it’s endearing seeing you eternally fight the forgotten war. I hope you get your solo mode one day. :face_holding_back_tears:

Give me a ring when there are new maps, Commissar.

The Cadian Guard are my inspiration.

5 years from now, when Darktide is 7 years old and the next game is coming out, I’ll still be here asking for Solo Mode, and then on one glorious day, they’ll announce the Solo Mode beta like they did for the Versus Beta in VT2

Please try to do a lot of fun stuff that adds chaos, rather than just stat changes. -toughness regen is boring, what would be fun would be things that are actually unique and chaotic. Examples:

  • Multiple boss spawns
  • Bombers throw multiple grenades
  • upgraded versions of specials, like a mutant that can scoop up multiple players
  • beasts of nurgle have fire trails instead of slime, chaos spawns will damage you harder when eating you, plague ogryn charge knocks back further

etc. I’m not saying these ideas are good, they might very well be terrible and unfun, but stat changes are boring, gameplay changes are fun.

edit: This was supposed to be a reply to @FatsharkStrawHat oops
