I’ve been lurking on the forums for a little over a year now, but made an account just to talk about this because of how hard it affects my and probably many others enjoyment of the game. Since the rework of the mission board Fatshark has stated that the High Intensity modifier is now baked into the…

Correct, Maelstroms are not affected by the campaign backfill. But, in the handful I played before starting my space cop, they did also feel easier than pre-update, just like new Auric. Better than new Auric, but easier than old maels.

I’m surprised it’s not being talked about more. It’s much more important than any cosmetics stuff. I hope this bug is going to be patched out soon because idk why even play Darktide anymore.

[image] CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N: I purposefully ran a second, Hi Intensity Dark Communion Auric before coming here. It was also nowhere near old baseline Auric Damnation, let alone baked in Hi Int or double Hi Int (if that’s what Hi Int on a mission now means, still unclear on that). I would like to …

I realize this issue could potentially be solved in this hotfix. Just wanted to drop this reddit comment thread to further show I’m not the only one that’s been feeling Auric is off: Reddit - The heart of the internet I look forward to testing if the hotfix ma…

@FatsharkJulia @FatsharkKitefin I’ve now played one of each Auric modifier and a campaign back fill QP after this hotfix and I can say it feels like it’s back where it needs to be, imo. If others feel differently and they can confidently say they didn’t QP into a story mission, then please speak up…

It’s leaking Is darktide suddenly alot easier or is Arbitrator class just OP? [image] Be invincible, walk forward, and bonk Gameplay Feedback I’m still testing, but I’m quickly coming to the conclusion that Arbites broke the game. Not even accounting for uni…

Just another example of people not knowing about campaign back fill, not wanting it, not understanding what it does to Auric difficulty Some missions don’t seem to have varied narratives anymore [image] [image]

I think there is positively no way they’re going to do away with backfill for campaign missions. If you quickplay, you get what you get. And they’ve got to fill those missions for (likely new) players or they’re going to have a crappy experience. I haven’t checked, but if you look in the tab menu i…
