@Padds

Mr im gunna full auto ammo dump at every single lone pox walker and refuse to hold the line EVER

I feel personally attacked.

@Padds

my point was simply that you already cant tell what someone is going to do based on the archtype

But you can tell what they’re capable of doing.

@Padds

maybe except for vets you generally know your getting a COD bro

See, now I’m sure you’ve got it in for me.

No but it’s pretty trivial to find people to play with if you actually want to.

Lol. Unless you’ve been banned from the discord and live in Australia.

Super exciting. Just need them to remove the restricting locks on crafting, performance tweaks, and I will for sure re-buy back into the game.

Amen to that. Just needs more unique maps and it feels more “complete” than the existing copy/paste maps.

From video timestamp 0:50

3 branches. One branch holds existing options for that class (So I assume it’s the current abilities), 2nd and 3rd are new abilities. But can mix between. No locks hopefully! So can change abilities between missions if wanted to without restriction. Glass cannon build here I come.

As expected would happen the Auris missions do split match making. They are more for premade squads for specific choice. If match making with randoms, you get into game faster with public match making option.

I still go into Auris missions even knowing and expecting to fail because the journey is the challenge and rewarding as the end result. As opposed to journey being non dependent on skill and dice roll like crafting.

There are unofficial Tide Discord groups you might have luck with. Red Moon Inn is the only one I’m personally familiar with but likely there are others too.

[Whizzard]

Then comes the difficulty with the living in Australia aspect.

Fantastic ^^

I hope slot 6 through 15 (or maybe even 30 like in the VT2 mod) make it for the release of patch 13.

Thanks a ton

official comm-link or blog when?

[Heretical_Cactus]

Maybe at Gamescom

@FatsharkCatfish

For sure, I have already pushed for this but I will follow up to see where we are!

@Heretical_Cactus

guess it would have been as follow:

• Create a character from a specific archetype with any of the classes
• After level X unlock class changes for the character

I can understand that, but it still sounds like (after unlocking is said and done), the subclass would still just be a different skill tree you would select from a menu.

Well yes, but it’s what VT2 did

I think we have been given plenty of evidence by now, that this is not a full retread of VT2. Although many of the “happenings” surrounding this game sure look like it when it comes to the development process.

I fail to see what that has to do with releasing content in a timely manner.

@kqgee

sheeeeesh. Darktide looking grim.

I thought it funny calling darktide grim when your comparison exoprimal is in the grave.

[Ol_Jakal]

what has fatshark ever had to do with releasing content in a timely manner?

[Rainman]

yah it’s pretty strange that they didn’t do a dev blog or comm link about this. Maybe because they don’t have plans to change the locks and didn’t want a tsunami of comments about it. And that line about “we had this in development before release but it wasn’t ready at release” line is just more proof that they released an alpha build of the game for us. If they can release a half-baked system temporarily for players to use before the full system is launched, then why can’t they just remove the locks on the crafting until they make another full crafting system release?

This is the sort of change I really wanted to see for this game. I really hope they bring it home with crafting changes too though.

[MarxistDictator]

Or they didn’t want to do a comms link about something 2 months away, considering the grief they already get over the 2 week nonsense.

[Rainman]

but they release the info for a 3rd party report on it instead? Seems like they’d want to do higher public outreach last

[dannylew8299]

I guess the point i was trying to make is how this is most likely the best way to implement subclasses. What’s the point of following the VT2 model if a subclass has no differences at all beyond a talent tree? Just cut the extra two - three loading screens and put that all in one menu.

Im pretty sure they will, the patch could still be 5-6 weeks out , its a little early for a devblog type deep dive going into specifics might not all be finalised yet, i would of at least posted an announcement of the interview myself , but i get why they want to announce it to as wide an audience as possible.

yeah game could definitely of done with more cooking time

i wouldnt be very optimistic about a lock removal, if they do that its giving everyone god rolls instantly, and id be willing to bet for everyone whose complaining about the locks theres more that would call that a removal of the end game and stop playing, as sad as that is.

[Bankrotas]

To be honest, I don’t care for RPG system, if itemization progression is still crap.

[Rainman]

devblogs talk about development, even if it’s not entirely complete. The comms are for official news releases. They could devblog it to us if they wanted to, but it seems they’d rather let major magazines know about it instead? We’re going to find out about it through that (more) public channel anyways, so it’s not like they’re going to avoid the same questions/scrutiny by avoiding devblogs in the forum.

[Rainman]

Yah, I reckon I’d mess around with it for a lil bit only to get discouraged again by crafting. It’ll be the same formula of great gameplay but bad enough crafting that it makes people quit. That won’t change if they don’t change it.
