Or they are just attention seeking idiots who are hoping that by white-knighting for the studio they will get a pat on the back and maybe a special little title. This “community”, and I use the term very loosely when refering to Darktide’s players, is infested with this sort. Of course a situation not helped by the “community managers” using them as a way to keep their hands clean while bullying and harassesing undersireable opions off the official site.
Lot of people think they might be the um… ah… ‘private, non-official accounts’ of insiders who designed the bad stuff and want to tell us off for not liking it.
If you play to win against a computer, eventually you’ll get to a place where nothing is difficult anymore because you understand the patterns. This is why PVP can so often be so much harder because a player can break the patterns, react intelligently, though of course not all of them do… but it’s true as a generality that an experienced player can’t be dragged as easily into a pattern that will always work on a machine.
I play all classes, and knife zealot maybe should be it’s own thing, but we also should never end up as slow as power-maul ogryn. That bottom end is just way, way too slow. Even just kantrael xii vet is too slow.
Do some randoms, and start counting how many people are bringing at least one weapon that is +0.50 or greater, (I put a list here and there, but I’ll make another if it helps.) Remember you can see people’s weapons in the lobby if you hit tab.
that’s not a problem with the game, it’s a problem with the playerbase. every co-op game has some ADHD sprinter that’s probably blaring taylor swift on their headphones whose only grasp of the game is “get to the end NOW!” and does not care for gameplay.
they usually argue that “slower means more enemies, so fast is the best strat” but a brisk walking pace in a tide game is enough to handle enemies tacticaly and reduce their threat to functionally zero so really they just put the rest of the team at risk while they max out their dodges and running speed to feel like they have an actual skillset.
fatshark should punish them harder and make them leave the game entirely.
Just give them separate queues. Put a box in that says “I’m an insane sprinter and I only want to play with others like myself” and they can play the way they want.
Then the rest of us can have a speed boost so we can orbit the team more effectively to do our jobs.
Like the most important job in the game. Collecting plasteel because this game is plasteel hell.
it’s a lot easier to get rid of the tiny subset of players that are ruining it for most people than to waste resources isolating them so they’re happy, even if we assume they’re not mostly toxic pricks that will abandon that mode because they need better players to do the real combat while they rush ahead.

you understand your plasteel issues aren’t normal, right? most players do not obcessively reroll crap to try and get a .0000672% improvement to performance.
Yes, they are. The only people without them are people who don’t use the crafting AT ALL, and the people who were playing during the glitch that didn’t consume their plasteel. God I’m sorry I missed that, some of them have hit the limit.
EVERYONE hates darktide’s plasteel bottleneck.
Do you want me to find you five or ten youtube videos on it?
Or I could just give you a list of all the forum posts that are unhappy about crafting. The Crafting Memorial; lest we forget
Remember, that companies usually consider every person who reaches out to tell them about a problem represents several hundred people who didn’t but just walked away.
oh man, you are coping HARD.
Someone is.
Typed plasteel shortage into a search engine, here’s my top hits that aren’t about how to do the glitch.

How is that “everything is fine” copium tasting?
“i typed toyota porn into a search engine and it looks like toyota drivers are all perverts!”
how are you having this much trouble. go play minecraft if you want to worry about materials. i’m sure there’s a 40k mod for it.
How are you NOT having this much trouble? Did you design the system after a weekend class on mobile gaming monetization? Do you even play it or just sit in an office somewhere wondering why people hate the system?
i play the actual game and don’t think too hard on the weapon’s stats. squeezing the last 15% of effiency out of a weapon in vermintide was always a waste of time and it’s the same here, just go play a map you wanna run and don’t worry about drops.
“Yeah, that system I don’t use is fine.”
Uh huh.
EDIT Oh, btw, you say 'last 15%" but it’s really more like 200-300%, which you’d know if you followed the crafting.
I haven’t seen a single person, literally, in the forums say diamantine is the bottle neck to their resources. It’s always plasteel. And maybe ordos if they’re throwing it all at brunt.
But blessing farming? Yeah Plasteel will be your limit.
“Don’t craft so much.”
“Stop trying to squeeze out w/e % out of that gun…”
“Just play the game and ignore the crafting. Enjoy what you have.”
“Breakpoints don’t matter. Well, maybe only on Auric…”
These are the literal definitions of the term “coping”.
I’m not @ing anyone. This is for whoever needs to understand this.
I specifically pick the speedrun builds, so I can be with the team in big fights and still collect all the Plasteel. 
Don’t you go around thinking only speedrunners avoid Plasteel pickups.
Quite a few slow Ogryn slowwalk past it too.
Same. And that’s really what I want out of a speed increase to the slowest weapons. I don’t want to be insanely fast, I want to have more options that don’t make me slow. I don’t want to outrun the team, I want to orbit it more effectively, and that puts a lot of weapons off limits as too slow.
IF that’s something you agree with, please like all the stuff above and join in with lots of comments. Would really help since I’ve seen so many who just seem to think I want everything at knife speed for speed running… sigh
there are no builds that make you a speedrunner, its a choice
You say that, but I am faster than sonic.
NOBODY CAN KEEP UP WITH ME!
