No fun anymore

You know, if you could read you would see that 2 weeks ago he didnt have this problem.
Now he does

So either he and his group GOT SO MUCH WORSE in 2 weeks they cant finish a T5
OR
And here me out - Fatshark as they have done MANY TIMES in the past - f-ck up spawn rates under SOME conditions which DONT have to be same for everyone, which makes the game unfun and hard.

Many people have been complaining about the game being too easy in the past weeks/months.
Spawns have been rebalanced.

You should play what ever difficulty you are good enough for NOW.
Not the diff you will be good enough for, 2 weeks in the future.
Or the diff you were good enough for, 2 weeks in the past.

Yea I know exactly what you mean.
I finished auric runs with incomplete characters, blue gear and lvl 2 blessings
And it was still easier than new T5 with gunner spawn with full kited gear

If the auric are too easy why change t5 non auric ?

So that people have at least a minimum amount of skill, before they break into the auric playlist.

And those people were free to play the game without feats or 380 weapons with T4 blessings on auric.

Instead FS f-cked up something again and T5 - which is the only semi acceptable TIME -to- PLASTEEL ratio difficulty is magnitudes worse and unfun with THE WORST enemy spawn type possible.

Gunners.
Seriously, in a game with AT BEST mediocre shooting system
With zealot being full melee
Ogryn having 2 full melee builds
So 41.6% of all builds are ass to play because the overwhelming amount of enemies you meet require ranged solution is just - boring, tedious, unfun and soul draining to a point I actually played LEAGE of F-CKING LEGENDS instead of Darktdie

If you dont experience the joy of every other corner you turn having 15 scab stalkers shooting at you in melee range downing you 1.2 seconds. Then I f-cking envy you with all my heart cuz you play th FUN darktide.
God knows I dont play the same gaem as you

People have been so spoiled by psyker shields. Positioning just isn’t a thing for a lot of people now.

On topic of the thread though, it’s the increase in crusher density that ends most runs for me. People can handle just about everything, but when 9 or 10 crushers walks around the corner in a big ball, it often just falls apart.

Saturday I played the carnival map 4 times
Won 2 lost 2, all runs basic T5 nothing fancy.

1 win was so smoothI thought it was on Malice but it wasnt. It was however almost every single enemy was melee and BOY did I enjoy the match.
Other win was hard, long and boring as 85% of the match I was on my lastpistol (zealot) cuz charging in = suicide

Other 2 losses we didnt get through the first arena with data interrogator EVEN barrier psyker cuz at one point the entire f-cking screen was red tracers of criss-crossing gunfire with 0 cover possible.
After 4 person downed I altf4 and went to forum to ask if other people have this amazing exprience.

And as always, those who dont have it - dont believe those who do have it - and in their infinite wisdom put out build guide and other unwanted ‘advice’ when I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM with my BUILD.
I just want to swing my f-cking heavy sword instead of perma having to shoot as zealot

That’s when a shield Ogryn with taunt and a nuke grenade come in handy. :wink:

Yes, especially in the new map where in the data interrogation zone 20 gunners (and god only knows how many stalkers or other ranged units spawn) and the entire screen is one huge supression zone where you cant aim for sh-t :slight_smile:

Excellent advice, please keep it coming

Oh my god I hate that section. It’s like people try to all split up and go to opposite corners of the arena.

Yea, but it doesnt matter.
No matter which corner you take unless psyker bubbles (and even then you have exactly 6 seconds to deal with sh-t) your aim is supressed and bye bye.
Dodge sliding sound very cool on paper, until you realize you would need infinite dodge sliding to just SURVIVE the permanent ranged damaged thats everywhere.

I didnt play the game much since except couple runs, all were a boring shooting gallery chore.
But that f-cking arena is the prime example
Melee = fun
Ranged = unfun

If its getting to a point where you’re suppressed from all angles, you (or more likely, the whole team) have messed up somewhere. There basically aren’t any completely clear sightlines anywhere in that arena, so it’s generally easy to lock down ranged enemies if you’re allowed to make it your job. If the team stays together and they allow you to mostly focus on clearing ranged, it’s not a difficult fight.

It really is just when everyone runs off in different directions (which seems to happen every [redacted] time) that it turns into a slog.

Also, holding corners usually isn’t the best idea because there’s longer sightlines, which makes life harder for your melee players, which makes life harder for you. The left/right wings are generally safer.

You know what? That entire first section of the map, ending at the end of that arena, is a pain. The best way to handle it is to speedrun to the arena, but everyone just kind of stops to fight every single enemy spawn along the way.

You dont need to aim.
You need to learn.

The enemies always spawn around the same locations.
Just go where they will will spawn and then delete them in melee as soon as they appear.

I personally find T4 to be frequently harder than T5. The teammates are worse, the spawns are just basically the same, and the average reward is also bad to top it off.
If OP has particularly bad luck with the new spawns, then I feel for you.

If only I could switch classes mid match :wink:

its not that simple auric is where the good players are, when i play normal damnation or lower i find it more difficult (and less rewarding) specifically because the player base is 99% green

for people that only plays with premade parties the game is leagues more fun with the new spawn system

its like vermintide without costumizable bots, bots were better than bad players in vermintide, I occasionally play some vermintide 1 missions and i can finish them in the highest difficulty despite having just bots in the team

let me guess Veteran ? the normal T5 missions are still the same as always you don’t need any psyker although it would help to have it on certain maps or situations but it’s also not necessary at all.
