Last time I played with a Chinese player was on Vermintide 2, they purposefully teamkilled someone, so I paid them back then refused to revive them. Me and the other two kicked him just before the finale.

This is exactly what I was suggesting a while ago, and I was immediately shut down by almost everyone on the Forums…

Now that you’ve been here for a CN brigade, are you going to #believe us in the future?

I don’t think ever claimed that I didn’t believe people, when they told me that Chinese playerbase is to blame for review bombing the game (unless I made statements in the past that say otherwise, that I forgot about, in that case I retract them), unless you’re talking about something else here, and it’s just completely flying over my head. But regardless, one thing is clear here:
The Chinese part of the playerbase has Darktide in a chokehold, (a bit too similar to shareholders) having a grip on the game, dictating on what direction it should take, regardless whether the devs themselves personally agree with it.
Also, while we’re at it what does “CN brigade” mean?
(and I think, you meant to say #believeusinthefuture xd)

My expectation is to boldly buff weapons/talents that no one uses, rather than meaninglessly adjust small values.
I used to care about balance adjustments, but now I couldn’t care less. No matter how things are tweaked, I’ll keep playing just as I always have.
What bothers me far more is the growing number of cheaters (aimbot, macro, wallhack, retry user, etc. ) appearing in high difficulty on HK realm, and only 50 blacklist is not even enough.
It seems Fatshark has completely given up on dealing with cheaters.
I could have say overall skill level of cn players is higher than Westerns, but given the recent surge in cheating, I can no longer bring myself to say it.

Thank you for reminding me that I can leave negative reviews. By the way, the type of review is a matter for the player community. I’ve even seen many people who think a game is fantastic give it a bad review to reassure players who are particularly sensitive to negative reviews. By the way, because you used a direct online translation method, some words were translated, which can make it seem incomprehensible and even a little funny, including what you mentioned: “Of which wants to fùck Fatsharks mom.” Just understand it as the F-word. Since different cultures and stories have different slang terms for the same meaning, this kind of translation can be done well using chatGPT claude or a free LLM tool.

I’ll stop counting now, some of these reviews are really upsetting to read.

Just a random review I translated with Google Translate
Apparently now nerfs make the game easier. The what now? 
Followed up some baseless accusation about ignoring feedback from Asian players, and only listening to European. Like there is even a simple consensus in both regions about what should be done to the game’s balance

I looked at a few. There are some BIG BIG FEELINGS out there.
Lots of non-sensical takes from my POV. Plasma and Pickpocket nerfs were no-brainers. Dueling Sword still needs to be cut down a peg. Hive Scum over-buffing is going to eventually need to be reigned in, etc etc etc.

Man, I just want a game I play to have hordes which aren’t just a source of free toughness, and elites which don’t fall over in 1-3 hits, because the developer is too slow to pick up on those issues. Nevermind being concerned about hurt feelings and frankly paranoia of some gamer “communities”.

At least there’s still Vermintide 2 which does have all these things.
Btw, are there any other horde shooters, out there, that have dangerous elites and hordes of chaff that aren’t a joke?
Not to my knowledge, plenty of horde shooters but they are just that, fairly bland pve shooters.
I used to play both Vermintide games, and we had this insider joke in our small group, that the most dangerous enemy in the game is that one last slave rat with a poke stick. I have good memories of VT2, but every time I go back I’m reminded why I prefer DT combat. Peer to peer networking (at least no dedicated servers) and the way VT2 handles enemy tracking your movement just just so inferior to DT experience.

Toxic Commando, maybe? I haven’t played it myself.

Earth Defense Force 6 - I love this series, but it is not for everyone.

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core releases in May.

Abyssus - rogue lite steampunk underwater game made by a small Swedish dev studio. It’s a bit light on content currently and I personally wished that they had learned more into the "horrors of the sea) theme, but it’s pretty fun.
Some other upcoming games fits the Tide formula, but not sure if they’ll be good or bad games.
While it is not a Tide game, I am very interested in DEFECT (just a shame it’s made in UE5 slop).
It would have been cool to play an Arbites game similar to DEFECT.
