Hello I haven’t played Darktide in a while but I’ve been following it. The balance changes I was pleasantly surprised to see but there are some issues I have with it, and I feel it’s just coming way too slowly. With how distant each patch is there’s still too many issues plaguing the game like balancing, (newest patch still hasn’t scratched the surface of the absurd power creep with class and weapon balancing) seeing the flame staff get “compensation buffed” because of the uncanny nerfs feels completely out of place, like they’re doing some sort damage control to appease the negative review bombers. optimization and server issues, (I’m the only one of my friend group who can run the game comfortably). Havoc to this day being a buggy, incomplete and incompetent mess that the devs don’t seem too motivated to improve. the FOMO shop, and the complete lack of proper communication to the point where I genuinely think the devs just hate their playerbase.
Maybe it’s because I have a lot of playtime but all I can see when I look at Darktide are the numerous issues that haven’t been addressed. It feels like the devs have more passion for managing the steam reviews of the game rather than the game itself.
