Mortis Trial needs to be more difficult and consistently so

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback
1

It is far to easy as it is now and the Difficulty is also extremely inconsistent.

One Run you get throughout all 12 Waves just 2-3 Bosses and in other ones you get multiple Bosses in several Waves. Some Runs you get like ten Seconds Waves with barely any Elites/Specials. Other times even when Sefoni says ‘Turn up the Heat / its cold’ theres no Flamers spawning at all.

As it is now it would be even to easy w/o the Indulgences.

The Horde Density definitely needs to be increased by A LOT and the amount of Elites / Specials spawning too with an guaranteed chance of at least multiple Bosses spawning.

Also wouldn’t hurt to have a few more Maps for the Mode. Two Maps becomes boring / repetitive relatively quickly especially when you aren’t even challenged 99% of the time.

I already complained about it on a post.

It needs to be more difficult yes.

This is totally intended.
This is not Havoc, this is its contrary. Arcade, with lot of bonuses, no need to move (something I love)…

I agree with you about this wish, but I can understand they don’t do it considering the public aimed for this game mode.

Why not add an higher difficulty then? The ones who aren’t that good can stick to Damnation whereas other who want a higher challenge in the Mode can choose an higher one with Auric / Havoc Modifiers.

Because it was never meant to be a game mode about difficulty.
Like Havoc was never meant to be a game mode for causals.

I’m not sure tbh…

This 50 mortis trials for 20 penance points penance is the real offender

As a “veteran” grinding this much missions in this mode is boooring

But I’ve seen things ingame you wouldnt believe

80% of this game’s playerbase are actually very bad at it. I doubt those are the people who are active in this forum or on your friends list.

So for them this mode might actually be challenging and fun enough

But agreed: two semi decent palyers turn damnation mortis trials into a cakewalk

It’s a mode where you can throw twin grenades every ten seconds or fire a bolter with infinite ammo while exe stance holds out. It’s not srs business.

I ran into the infinite magazine talent too so crazy.(also congratulations on 365 devotee even after dune launch :wink:)

———————
The power creep of skill is also a factor as getting a lot of fresh players rising to Damnation is very difficulty amplifying. Less casually playing a weak build as rest of the team can’t stay standing =\

Think Mortis could still be made funner if they want to invest more, some encouragement toward moving to new start locations for waves or just mobility and zone denials …modifiers.. a auric version.

it could complete all penances at once i wouldnt play 50 mortis trials :rofl:

and thats fine.

if i enter a restaurant i pick my flavor not the whole menu.

mortis is great for beginners, got my trinket speeding through and that was it :+1:

neither the maps nor the setup are my cup of tea, if i want arena shooter cube maps i fire up quake live.

You cannot imagine how I am satisfied with the Dune launch. I get a lot of fun from the game. I am about to leave the starting area.
So much fun to watch a sand worm moving in front of my house!

Will we have this discussion every month?
A lot of players care about balance.
In fact, balance is what ruins my fun in Darktide.

So, to your question I can answer… count me in, I care about balance… in fact this is my MAIN complain.

Yes you’ll need to add some kind of visual like italics or (sarcastic) it doesn’t translate at all in type form without at least a lot more text… or images :wink:

Some of the boons in this mode are just crazy. I actually quite enjoy it, though it does get boring. I wish there’d be more times where it spawns like 80 ragers at once. Or even just more waves with Crushers/Maulers.

Of course, with Ogryns getting a grenade every 20 seconds and the Big Box of Hurt, it’s also pretty punishing on graphics cards. XD
