One week from launch, no statement? (edit: We had an update/statement but it's uuuh...)

It’s obviously possible. I’m sure they mean, “we’re not sure how difficult it will be here, given how we store items, and whether it will be worth the coding/ UI/ QC time to address.”

They should make time! This is an important feature. And I’m not just saying that because my Psyker got a near-perfect roll on a Kantrael MK XII.

Okay which one(!!) of you guys asked for emotes?
Big part of the player base is locked out of the game at all bc of these GPU_HANG stuff, memory leaks and other CTD. But yeah, lets get emotes in, thats what the players want…How delusional?!

i posted what i ment, im wh40k it this was RL and not a game crafting by us would be nearly non existant. their are literly hundreds of books on how the mechanicus does the whole you have tech, well i got dibs, mechanicus being arses is well documented in lore, even with the inquisition. just pointing that out, now i hope we get an amazing crafting system, but no its not lore friendly is all im saying :slight_smile:

It is lore friendly. I know more about the lore than you Andi. Also your crafting system is more RNG re-roll. Go read the update.

im fine with people posting what they have done wrong, and a lot of what i see i agree with, but if i see someone complaining about X Y or Z person not doing X Y or Z when they have been ill comment that they actually have.

for instance saying theirs yet to be a statement from FS when their in fact has been would be misinformation, hence the comment about click bait.

i know many of us are frustrated, and yes US includes both me and you. which is ok, id like to have the completed game now rather than wait for what should have been finished on 11/30th. but misinformation gets us nowhere.

also theirs no one here above criticism, if i make a mistake and said something that was wrong i would hope you all would correct me. which is why i do the same, we all want an amazing game.

o dont worry about that
the whole (you can change one perk but it locks the others)??? WHAT?

ya i hope thats not implemented as it sounds, i will have an axe to grind,

Even then they couldnt get that feature right and somehow managed to make it worse and bad.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a refund from me. I have seen no inclination to increase player agency nor make gear progression better (i,e checking the shop every hour)

Shame too.

Hope I can come back in at least a year and see that things have changed

likewise, already played to much to get a refund otherwise i think i would with how everything is progressing

I agree that using the correct terms is important, but even I think you’re being a bit pedantic. You’ve never heard someone say “That’s not possible” as in “It’s totally possible, but we’re not going to”? Because that’s basically what they’re saying here. My point, regardless of terminology, is that " its feasibility is still unknown" is clearly BS.

Also, they stated over the time (years, really) that they would want to improve a lot and make many changes.
Then came Darktide, the first vids, pictures and statements coming in and many where SURE that we would see “crafting”.
Not like e.g. in Fallout 4 or Dead Space 3, but akin to the selection of Far Cry or World War Z (also a coop shooter), meaning bigger mags, other ammo types, scopes, flashlights or byonets etc.

That they said “this is no CoD” and “it does not fit the setting” while showing in the beginning a lot of weapon close ups and how the ADS works and such and later having a Techpriest with Servitors on a inquisitorial ship, gives one a bad taste.
Either they were really not expecting that we would thought they had learned something over the years or they wanted to trick us into seeing the game better/ more favourable as it was.

A shame really. I really had hoped for attachment crafting and similar.
At least the same crafting as in VT2 and not “you can re-roll one perk, but lock the other in doing so”, which is like 2 steps back from VT2.

At least a slap with Ogryn weapons, no?

What would be the point of solo lobbies?
Just agree for the crafting system…many have stopped till it’s implemented and there’s no reason it’s not yet up.
And some real sniper weapons for sharpshooter, or some scopes at least…the bolter should be a big guy weapon and the soldier should be unable to use it if he wants to keep his arms.

Because I want to play solo with bots? That’s the point.

Ya know? Like Vermintide 2 was able to competently do? I know. Imagine that. Vermintide 2 doing something better than Darktide.

Just because you don’t care for doesn’t mean that others don’t nor does it mean that I don’t. You act like there’s no value in it, which may be true for you personally.

A big stink was raised about it prior to release such that they had to clarify about it in Community Update 1.0.6 upon which several gaming outlets reported from that

I appreciate that you have different priorities than I , but no. I am not going to ‘just agree for the crafting system’ as you have suggested.

Nothing of what they announced is what I really want:
-Solo lobbies: great, but what we really want is to play any map any difficulty any modifier
-Crafting: all this faff for… what is essentially a clone of diablo 3’s crafting system
-Shared progress? Well that’s not exactly reducing the grind for new characters is it? CBA spending 15h leveling another character.
-New weapons? 2 holy crap wow
-Emotes penances? Yeah, not really that high on the priority list of the player’s needs.

Playing solo is not better, that just your pov. Actually, I plenty prefer Darktide as it’s almost impossible to perform it alone as that’s a teamwork and play game.

I don’t intend to change your priority (I don’t really care), I just think it’s a niche one so I don’t really think it would or will be a priority for Fatshark but I suppose they can add this feature as well.

Good for you.

They have said they will roll it out so I am expecting them to do so

People have expected them to do so since they were able and competent enough to do so in Vermintide 2 also

Playing solo is not better, that just your pov

That’s just your pov

A big stink was raised about it prior to release such that they had to clarify about it in Community Update 1.0.6 upon which several gaming outlets reported from that

Again, it is a desired feature present in V2 that people were expecting in this game. I appreciate that you don’t care about it, but myself and others expected Fatshark to implement such a feature

I dont know why people have so much hope for the future “because” VT2 ended up being a good game much later.

They obviously didnt learn anything from VT2 since anything that made VT2 great isnt present in DT.

DT is a great game at the core wrapped in Mobile Game crap. From multiple currencies to RNG rotational shops… to even RNG rotation base mission selections… It stinks like the usual Tencent formula.

They said they yanked out the crafting after it was all done to replace it late in the development cycle but when you look at the dates FS was acquired by Tencent, you can almost see the greed infiltrating the game.

Outside of the gameplay, this is pretty much a mobile game on PC with incomplete promised stuff.

so, to summarize. for the Darktide release past week one, their statement we can garner from their actions (and some actual statements on their discord etc) measures up to

  • the features they delayed the game that they had models for and even put in trailers (weapon attachments) they didnt even finish because theyre lazy, “it doesnt fit the theme guys!!!1!!” even though the infrastructure and design is totally there for it to be done in a matter of maybe week to no more than 2 months. but just now refuse to do it, again, because i think theyre lazy

  • couldnt balance the game even after a huge delay

  • couldnt even make the game stable

  • didnt make penances that were anywhere near reasonably doable. some of them demonstrating that they are 100% out of touch with the factors of achievement and gameplay synergy when it comes to the class designs

is there more? these are some of the ones that just really stick out to me
