New In-Game Event: Light the fuse!

Why not some aquilas? For example 500 aquilas will they break in-game economy? Or FS will suffer catastrophic fund losses?

I mean the sigil is nice and all but it’s just another one of the pile. Give us the chance to collect something more essential and spend it as we like.

Also, just brainstorming here, it might encourage many players to open their tight wallets to supplement their in-game accumulated aquilas for further support of your shop.

I mean… WHY THE KARK NOT?

Immeasurable complexity, not wanting to be predatory, not wanting to confuse the player and the game not being intended to be played long term but instead during update times.

I kinda like the event modifier but it also highlights audio issues with bursters

Or just $

uh buddy it’s not $ it’s aquillas try not to make the connection between foney and money. they might make less.

I’m fairly certain you understood me, but my point was that a business person in FS (with all the data we don’t have) has determined it would negatively affect revenue.

So far, for me, the biggest issue is people leaving. I am playing almost entirely with bots.

This is going to be so funny, I’m excited to play it.

A holy handgrenade of Antioch as an insignia? I think this one looks really cool!

Exploding shotgunners took me by surprise. Also glad to see cranial parasites outside of Havoc.

Oh yes, and the Burster bugs are still very much active. Silent at times, not exploding when pushed etc… Best to play with extra caution and blast Bursters from range, even if it means the mission pace turns into a crawl.

The secret to bursters is to let your teammates deal with them; wink, wink. Also, start rewarding us with Requisitorium Coins (Melk Bucks) too, as well as Aquilas. That RNG is a real btch & would be nice. I’m sure a good number of us have enough of the other materials to last a few lifetimes. If I could give them away to newbies in the Mourningstar, I would.

Please Fatshark update autoguns, infantry lasguns and stub weapons!

  • Braced need more damage and less spread while braced!
  • Infantry needs less recoil, more damage and reflex sight
  • Headhunter needs a LOT more damage, less recoil, more ammo and a reflex sight
  • Infantry lasguns need more damage, less recoil and more defense againts supression.
  • Revolver needs more ammo reserve and faster reload.

Chaingun/Power fist for Vet!
Heavy bolter/Brass knuckles for Ogryn!
Sacresant spears for zealot!
Force axe for psyker!

Fatshark doesn’t understand what an event needs or what players actually want.
If they set Aquilas as rewards, there’s no doubt a lot of players would take part. Even if that’s not possible, just adding recolor skins for popular weapons or classes would make a huge difference.
Nobody wants crappy portraits or crafting materials…

So Fatshark has acknowledged the freeze frame issue due to ogryn box grenades on these forums for what, 2 years? - also decides to release a full event of shotgunners dropping the same entities that are effected by said acknowledged bug. I dont mind events, but loading into this is the worst experience. 0.1-0.5 second lags on explosions while trying to push 15 bursters in a conga line is not playable.

You guys need to fix this issue. Its worse enough when Ogryns brought the box, but if you are going to do these maybe think about where you are pulling those assets from that are known to be issues. Do your job.

Ill also add in to what some of the other comments have been. When all of these event mobs are on screen the audio 100% breaks, almost nothing comes through. Like what are we even doing in a game all about audio cues.

Gotta love an event where they double down on one of the most anti-fun mechanics in the game, explosives! Everyone loves getting their fun ended because you are thrown 275 feet by a single barrel, meanwhile enemies just take a little damage!

It is almost like they got it mixed up that that’s the kind of thing PLAYERS enjoy doing to ENEMIES, and reversed it.

And when will they say something about cross-save? We need it :frowning:

My build for this event specifically https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9fb190bd-e8cf-425e-806e-57a85e46bdd7/light-the-fuse-event-facetank

very funny, i flew all over the map and even reached places where you can’t get to by normal way. i wish the grenades that enemies drop had the same impact as barrels, there would be even more hilarious situations
