No New Faction after 3 years?

from my experience as EU player its very easy to find people during the day but as night approaches from like 10 PM to 8ish AM its hard to find players becuse most people sleep i mean even then i will usually manage to be queued with at least one another person and sometimes it even happened that it’d be a full team altough someone would usually join at end or in middle of match i once had three people suddenly join at end of match i was soloing at around 5 AM, i’d also argue that difficulty has to do with it like you won’t find many experienced players doing uprisings etc.

I just want to fight Orks in DT so badly.

Grots, squigs, nobs, boys, weirboys, etc. so much fun to be had!

I still cry when I hear my pasiker’s remark about the second hidden hive.

Not really “very”, more like “kinda” - and it’s used to adorn things you need to add into a veil of plausibility, not dictate you what you need to add, otherwise your priorities are wrong. Game comes first, lore comes second. You can stretch bounds of lore to great extent; in fact, official WH sources do it all the time.

True, but that’s law of large numbers for you. It’s not hard to find people to play with in Helldivers any time of day - simply because they have times bigger audience. There will always be some small percentage of people who not sleep at night, or get up very early, for one reason or another. And the more total players you have, the larger will be an absolute number of such people - ensuring you can find your game even at unpopular hours. The fact you have issues finding it in DT is clear indication its audience has shrunken to barely manageable level. And slow content update rates is a huge factor in this, together with FS inability to engage their audience and keep them engaged all the time too.

That’s what people mean when saying “it’s nothing to do in DT”: no interesting, plot advancing, interactive events, not much to grind for, no sense of a living world you’re part of, no justification ingame for going on mission after mission, after you’ve developed all your characters and gathered all the gear you need.

I like the idea of another faction.

Maybe another Chaos Cult or Genestealers.
There could be even infighting between these groups and the Admonition/Moebian 6th Regiment.

lore is most important part of game it creates body of a game alongside gameplay and how well it works without one body part its only half finished especially for games like darktide that don’t have concluded story you yourself said that game is dying becuse theres nothing new thats exactly what im talking about game like DT needs things like new maps and new maps naturally breed new story and therefore gameplay and with popularity come fixes (which DT needs as depsertely as new story) see what im getting at? story is where everything begins.

i do agree with playing hours thing though i don’t think its quite the end for game as i don’t like when people panic saying games are dead (while they themselves still play them) but i do agree that we need new stuff, arbitrator blew to the point i had to wait in a queue to load into the game it was a very very good step towards something big and it fairly recently so i don’t think game is gonna die however they need more things like arbites and more often.

Honestly I’d rather the cult and the 6th actually be be made distinctly different factions from eachother rather than mostly being

Heretics

And

More armoured heretics

Like they’ve recently done, it’s a start but it’s nowhere near enough.

before we get a completely new faction

each faction needs some more distinctly different elites and specialists that aren’t just inverses of eachother’s

For example the cult needs some more culty units, chaos psykers, daemons, mutants.

The 6th are fine, maybe have more elites with more of the unique arsenal of 40k actually get utilised by them with more elites.

Unfortunately, GamesWorkshop won’t allow it. You know that they kinda get the final say in what gets added or not, right?

Why not a Scrab Tank Boss?

Please

Add a melta and give us a tank to fight.
