As title says if Fatshark would create an entirely new archetype/class, lets say a mechanicus based one for simplicity sake. Would you expect to receive it for free, or would you be willing to pay for it?
The archetype would be identical to other 3 existing ones, aka 2-3 unique weapons at launch, 3 branches in the skill tree, and lets say only 2 personality voice actors this time (2 for male 2 for female) in char creation.
(polls are anonymous)
Would you pay for a new archetype?
It has to be free.
I can pay.

Please dont overthink or overcomplicate the topic, its a simple matter.
IF a new class was DLC and they stopped overcharging us for cosmetics and implemented a less blatantly scummy system than they currently have…sure I’d pay.
I don’t mind paying for content so long as the content is worth paying for. To me, producing quality maps and gameplay content that is worth paying for is the superior model to what they’re doing now, which is producing free maps and gameplay content while making money via the cosmetics store. One implies quality that justifies the price, the other really just relies on bringing people back for a day minimum to get them to open the premium store.
Currently, right now, you can buy the entirety of the VT2 + all gameplay DLC for less than what Darktide costs. This all also costs less than buying a cosmetic outfit for two classes in Darktide (this may differ due to regional pricing, but it is true for me). Just saying
I’d pay. I’ve gotten 1800+ hours of enjoyment out of the game. If they wanted $5-10 for a whole ass class, I’d buy it to support the devs. I doubt it will ever happen, though. So far now, I’m content with throwing them a few bucks whenever something drops in the shop that I like.
Maybe, I lost interest for now. I rather spend my free time playing games which respect my time more. I have no time to fight with poor design of Havoc, silly FOMO elements, and lack of ability to select missions and modifiers in our games. The base game got a bit stale also thanks to that.
At least for a bit I have switched games, when before we played daily.
If they would redesign their MTX store to not be build around FOMO and overpriced reskins most of the time then maybe I’d pay around 3-5€/$ for a new class.
