In Vermintide 2, if you que up a mission on a class and there is already that class it will prompt you to pick a different class, please add this into darktide so there is better party comp in missions.
I like being able to have duplicate classes. The reason it makes you switch in VT2 is because the classes are individual people rather than archetypes, so it wouldn’t make sense to have a clone of Bardin or whoever on the team. Darktide doesn’t have that issue. You end up with more overall variety among matches by allowing duplicates than if teams can only have one of each class.
Out of the sudden, 5000 voicelines no longer used because they’re class on class interaction 
i’d be rather annoyed if i want to play ogryn for example and there is one already, so the game ends up with 2 incomplete teams instead of one.
Better that it’s not forced. Even in a hot drop, you should be able to see the other players’ loadouts and have the option to change your class, not just your current class’s loadout.
Literally the worst idea ever. It would make the games soooo anoying and for what? classes are diffrent within themselves,
- they have different personalities that dont clash
- they have different skills
- diffrent ways to play
having 4 veterans or 4 psykers with different builds can actually be fun.
I support perhaps giving a warning that an aura is being used twice and that it does not stack. but this you also can see in the pre-mission preparation. so is not an issue.
I cannot emphasize how this would kill the only good thing Darktide has over Vermintide.
For the first week of skitarri release, all my lobbies were 4 skitarri. imagine if you they would separate them. most of them would get empty lobbies. it would be a miserable experience.
Like i convinced my cousin to buy the game cause he liked mechanicus and we both leveled skitari together. what a miserable experience would have been if one of us had to switch. or i had to carry him with my psyker or zealot and then wait on him to hit 30 and get bored and then by myself level the skitarii.
I would rather not play.
Fatshark, please do not listen to this man.
I would just call attention to how dumb it is that the same Auras do not stack, whereas Auras from different classes that have the same effect (e.g. +5% crit which exists on both Psyker and Scum) do seem to actually stack.
I mean, you’d need some diminishing returns because 4 Veterans with the movement speed buff would be a recipe for speedrunning, but yeah.
Absolute no.
Aura do not stack, but it doesn’t mean it is a bad idea to take them. How many times you see group split because there is players that never slow down or players that never succeed to follow? too many times.
Very good point.
It being a queue option, sure.
But unlike VT1/2, here it’s made with classes being able to stack instead of characters that wouldnt.
you mean the cosmetics someone’s varying when he gets a dog or net off?
cause otherwise whats the use of people in match nowadays?
nah,
gets prompted with a 
and the main reason i ever since played space marine 2 solo.
change my class my ass, i play the game how I want to, it’ll be a cold day in hell before i switch for some rando i wouldnt need in the first place if darktide gave me the same options as sm2.
the chances, like getting rped by an angry penguin, are small but never zero 
If FS did this I would gladly uninstall the game and never play it again.
auras on different classes do, only same class auras dont stack, but you could have both ogryns 10+ melee damage aura and scums, +20% melee damage for the whole team
Could you just see the crying on the forums about that, with the mixed in mods that have a very minute few also crying about. Golly - gosh what an upsetting time that would be! XD
100% I would also do this.
Imagine they listen to no comments, but somehow this is one that they like and listen to. how insanely funny and sad it would be.
it would be short lived as many would uninstall and the forum activity would be that of vermintide 2.
in that case just release the penguins
I also prefer not duping classes. I believe the devs said at one point that their match making does prioritize sending you into a mission that doesn’t have as many players using that class but not sure how it’s weighted with time in progress, ping, etc.
But I think people should have the option to have dupes.
i am yet to see a benefit to not duping other than narcissism
what is your logic for this, how does this benefit you?
Generally unique roles in a team game. People with the same class are likely to be stepping on one another’s toes.
For example, I was playing on the Darktide discord server and we had two bull rush Ogyrns. I hit F on a juicy line of enemies just half a second before he did, the other Ogyrn, thereby him wasting his ult. We had a laugh but it is annoying. Joked that we’re sharing the same brain cell.
Same with auras not stacking and such. It’s nice to have a well rounded team with boss burst DPS, back liners, controllers, front liners, tanks, snipers for specials, support, etc.
You don’t want too many ammo hungry builds or everyone being squishy DPS.
Yes different classes have different builds that can serve different roles but there’s a lot of meta picks especially for auras.
Do you really want two smykers? Two bubbles? Two choruses? Two shout vets? Two flame psykers? Two shield taunt ogyrns? On an Auric quick play? If your job is to do X, and someone else is also trying to prioritize and do X, and the team is sticking together it’s just annoying and less efficient.
It’s nice to feel unique vs a redundant backup plan, especially if the skill difference is large enough one person feels almost unnecessary to exist 
It’s not a huge problem for me. Just a slight annoyance in quick plays. In havoc it’s a different story.
They can have different builds? like in vermintide makes sense, you have 2 shades doing the exact same thing slightly differently. but here you can have a support psyker and a gaze psyker, accompanied by a shout vet and a invis vet or invis zealot an a chorous zealot. with completely different genders, dialogs and backgrounds
So I am not convinced of this at all.
Such a niche problem, but your solution to it is to nuke the whole system just so this minor inconvinince that is very easily fixable with communication is addressed!
You can have ammo hungry builds of different classes, vet and arc rifle skitari both are pretty ammo hungry. same with range scum build. again, how does the solution fix this?
You know what you can lobby for? stacking auras, not nuking the uniqueness of the game because “I want to be play as this class and you are not allowed to”.
there are havok metas around this, they use their bubble one after another, or thier shouts, so they have a high upkeep. i see no problem with this. its not inefficiency at all.
I think none of this is the real reason. the only reason i can see people that are for this, is ego, and people wanting to be and feel unique, like you are the ONLY this and ONLY that. makes you feel special that is IT.
If this is it, then come out and say it, dont play these mental gymnastics trying to kill an important part of the game and for what? more empty lobbies? yeah go ahead, the game is alredy on maintaince mode. lets kill it even more so mr. x can feel special. the game is now all to your lonesome, have fun being one 20 people playing the game.
