Please stop making me play The Carnival

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

Due to the fact that the current iteration of the crafting system is mediocre at best (something which the community actually largely has consensus on!) I find myself trying to run as many damnation quickplays as humanly possible when I’m on to farm plasteel. I understand completely that Fatshark wanted to weigh the quickplay system to favour their sparkly new map, The Carnival, but after a few dozen games I’m finding it to be nearly impossible to roll a different map. My games are like 90% Carnival. None of the players I know (and admittedly that’s not more than about 10 people) enjoy playing this map, so that leads me to believe people aren’t queuing it manually.

It’s getting really tiring playing this excruciatingly slow map over and over, especially when the material spawns are concentrated on the back half of the mission, meaning in the rare cases that my team wipes in the first 10 mins, we get literally nothing of any value in return. The map is new, is slow, and I don’t want to always be playing it in quickplay.

Don’t play quickplay then. People specifically select this map to play, and quickplay just tosses you into their lobby. Select the map manually.

“My own behavior keeps putting me into the same map. Instead of choosing to play other maps, i came here to complain.”

Come on man.

It’s definitely a flaw with how they designed the mission board, how they break the design to showcase a new map, but yes, quick play will be broken by this every time a new map comes out.

If they didn’t include carnival to be constantly avaliable after an update, then people would have also complained about not being able to play it.
Basically damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Exactly! They wouldn’t have this issue if every map/difficulty was selectable. It’s a hole Fatshark dug and are lying in themselves.
