many people enjoy the chaotic nature of Maelstrom as is, and not fighting damage-sponges like in high havoc means many builds can actually work very well in Auric Maelstrom that simply are locked out of high havoc due to lack of dps. thus: could you Fatshark please make Maelstrom it’s own actual di…

i wanna add some more input to this. Arbites and Hive Scum are both heavely overtuned. Before i quit darktide the first time around, i got tired of having lone-wolfs in every match, including auric maelstrom. now you have either arbites or hive scum, or worse both. when we actually have a nice cl…

strongly agree with more maelstrom missions up at one time, i dont even care about how it’s implemented

I get the feeling there’s far more people playing regular auric than maelstroms, or they would indeed do this. I guess it depends on what the spread looks like, and if they feel people would actually play maelstroms. I think the better thing to focus on in terms of difficulty is making the progress…

That highly depends on the class you play. Vet is a vastly different experience than ogrin in terms of difficulty and amounts of going down. Especially when leveling

I’d like to harp on it again, that simply allowing us to pick and choose all the maps and mutators in private games would solve a lot of the friction on this. It’s not fun “running out” of challenging maps, and was made worse by the lowered mission expire time that allowed them to be played with m…

indeed actually. i’m just worried there’s no good option honestly, except balancing the entire game including paied DLC and old stuff to make it as equal as possible. both the “free the mutators” and “increased maelstrom difficulty” basically will end up forcing even more pay2win classes to appear…

aint rocket science but appearantly some suit optimization plan for shareholders revenue seems to forbid what i hoped for havoc to be before it was released: a menu with each modifier as a base option to stack on each other with a multiplier for enemy numbers and composition on top. that would hav…

i strongly agree with that, the issue basically boils down to: releasing power-creep stuff → allows new players to “finish the game on the hardest difficulty” and then move on, solely because they didn’t die in auric maelstrom they think they did “beat the game” completely oblivious to the fact so …
