New difficulty unlock system needs to be looked at

Hei, I have played this game for around 1500 hours, 2000 for Vermintide, I’m not sweat but I think I can carry my weight at a level or two over uprising even if i’m not max level.
Why do I have to waste my time playing a walking simulator? I just bought the new class, I’m level 7, played 3 games already in damn uprising and still can’t go higher difficulty, like grinding the mastery of the weapons is not already tedious enough.
Please make the restriction on difficulty more lenient for seasoned players.

I get you. I’m in favor of this is in theory, but in practice it’s just boring for seasoned players.

Especially Uprising. My advice: Just run through the map as fast as possible. You don’t need any resources so skip checking boxes and corners.

Malice is easy, but at least it gives you something to do.

If you are on PC, get the quick mastery mod. It lets you directly sacrifice from inventory and shop screens.

You need 5 if I remember well. I am at malice… I cannot go kitchen to get a water cup, but still I can listen music while playing…

As I said, this is the exact demands of players. On this point, we can complain however the fault is not on Fatshark. They can be blamed for lot of other things, but not this one.

I suspect that the players that wanted this, have always thought that it would never apply to them. And they were wrong…
5 uprising, 5 malice, 5 heresy, 5 damnation… or something like that.

Check the horrible mission screen. There is a bar on the difficulty. When the bar completes, you can go up in difficulty. Also, the game tells you when you are eligible to raise the difficulty with a notification.

It was annoying to get through but I think this will be good for the game in the long run, when I unlocked auric on my arbitrator I had already reached lvl 30.

Same. It’s slightly annoying when leveling up a new char, but good for the health of the game.

How can this be good for the health of the game? If you are a total newbie 20 games are not nearly enough to teach you the basics. While for seasoned players it’s just annoying. Lose lose.

that can be a lot more than that. Because if you fail, or make failing your team, you loose progress. See patch notes.
So the agony can last a lot of time if you get corpses in your team.

Again. Thank you guys that asked for this… I won’t blame the company that took into consideration the demands of the players… I blame the culprits: the players that asked this nightmare.

I don’t think anyone asked for that. At least I didn’t see it. I did see “win X amount of missions” before moving to the next.

BUT:

  • No one asked for this to be applied to accounts which already have a high number of high difficulty missions done
  • No one asked for a progress reset.

If you can’t bring a Heresy mission to success when your team folds, then you’re not ready for Damnation.

And this lockout will prevent said corpses from joining Aurics.

Maybe…
I can solo Heresy missions. I am not a god, so I can make errors. Bu heresy missions I cleaned them in solo multiple times.
But not damnation. I can clean them in solo, but only 20%. (still need more training… must admit I stopped to train when a game has released)
In solo, things can get out of hands pretty fast when a monstrosity appears and that you’re alone to deal with it and specials and elites and hordes.
This is what I pointed… that you may have an interest to leave to find a better team if you have players that are as efficient as is a bot.

True… because they made a generic request that they thought it would not apply to them.
So selfish. What we had was not a real problem.

When we had lot of corpse in maelstrom it was because Fatshark pushed them into this difficulty to enter Havoc.

Less level 20’s in auric

That was always a prerequisite and can maybe still be bypassed with the friend method though?

I’m not a God player either. When the team wipes I don’t last that long, but when you manage to rescue them again, they take away enough of the targets to keep going. Depends on the timing and the place in the map really.

I disagree on this. I think people wanting the ASS title or whatever and joining Aurics while they can’t even handle Heresy was a problem and I’m glad it was addressed.

FS could have simply checked the player account, because there’s plenty of penances tracking how many Damnation/Auric missions a player has completed and those could have been given a pass.

If they have a friend willing to carry them, good for them. That’ll be a rare occasion anyway.

My experience has always been bad friends not carrying, but bringing them nonetheless. Thankfully rare as you say.
But just pointing out this new system doesn’t fix that particular issue.

They could.

But players should have looked how Fatshark works. If there is one thing they LOVE, it is the grind.
They should have thought to it twice before asking it loudly and should have thought to consequences.

As I said, it reminds people that vote without thinking and cry after… Think before, not after…

You can check in the announcement topic… a lot welcomed the change… they were very happy. I was a lot more critical.

I disagree.

When I order a club sandwich with chicken and lettuce, I don’t expect they put sand in there. It’s not up to the customer to specify all the things they don’t want added when requesting for something specific.

As I said, and I stop here, if you look at Fatshark history, just on this tittle, they always put the grind at a high level.
You seriously expected they would not put a big dose of grind? I have not.
I even said that, what we see actually, would happen…

Now, do I think they need absolutely to change that? no.
Because I will have cleaned this system before they even adjust it. So just a waste of time..

I choose my fights. Cosmetics for Arbites is my main concern actually.

I didn’t know that

And wait until you unlock Damnation, already at level cap and still need to complete 8-10 Damnation missions to unlock Aurics…

WTF is wrong with FS I’ll never understand

This is what I’m asking!

I think Auric already had prerequisite of level 30 but I may be wrong.
Anyway I agree with restrictions, but not for someone that has already completed hundreds of auric games.
