And why on earth is this special event hell included in the quickplay rotation ? I keep getting put into games where everyone is dead because they flew off the map from a random barrel or they facetanked a congaline of 17 bursters.
This map selection man, still annoying to this day
My only problem with it is that quickplay is still bugged and nobody will join after your map disappears off the selection board. I’m fine with utter chaos as a mode, especially once you’re comfortable with Auric.
3 poxbursters in a row : you push the first one, you push the second one, and you either push the third one and eat the first one or eat the third one.
Explosions are my least favorite thing in Darktide but I’ll suffer through it because I want the insignia. Anyone else having significantly worse than usual audio issues playing this event? I lost the ability to hear my teammates shooting and grenade sounds for a match.
Chained PBs, with a specific distance value between them which guarantees you cannot push the second / third / etc. away without being caught in the blast triggered by previous PBs is one of the worst examples of “emerging gameplay” you can witness with special enemy type spam.
Conga bursters are pretty manageable now that they blow each other up instead of knocking each other toward you. But this mode is another terrible boring one that took very little effort. I keep quickplaying into it + dogs. Why does EVERYTHING need to be +dogs or +snipers.
feels like when they outed hunting grounds for the first time, and then fixed dogs, maybe they are working on poxbursters and barrels and doing tests with the players
I’ve been asking for additional filters in quickplay for a while.. Definitely needs an option to exclude events and certain other difficulty modifiers from your pool of games to join there. If I’m sent to a mission with Lights out modifier, I’m leaving it right away. What the point in not allowing me to just exclude it from considered missions when quick playing? They added a way to exclude story missions in a week, why not other filters?
