Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
41

Sure, I’m not saying playtesters are not useful but there is no comparison to a QA team dedicated to breaking the game within a structured and methodical approach that they have been trained for. Also a QA tester can literally use a debugger and physically walk to the coders desk and point them to an issue.

People really underestimate the usefulness of a QA team. Bethesda springs to mind lol

Anyway let’s hope they have one and also hope that they free up some manpower for this magnificent, yet starved, game. Crosses fingers

42

It’s pretty much possible to be something big as a new class, because previous updates were insignificant (even for a Fatshark).

Anyway, I stopped playing it already. And “something big” will be the only reason to come back.

43

I’ll say it for the hundredth time: QA are the unsung heroes of any shop. Underfunded, understaffed and underappreciated, but crucial.

44

A new class would be cool but if that’s all that is in the update, it would get old fast. I also dont trust Fatshark to know how to balance the game with an entirely new talent tree

45

Agreed, knowing fatshark I don’t have any expectation which is just the better option anyway, it they don’t release anything meaningful I’ll simply not be playing the game, If they add a new class free for everyone I’ll start playing the game again, there’s no way I’m paying for a DLC class in Darktide.

46

We don’t known that

While possible we did have some words that the biggest team at FS still is the DT one.

47

My guess is that it’s a new gamemode with a separate playerpool where the player gets shrunk and fights the same ol’ enemies on the same ol’ maps. :upside_down_face:

48

I think most of us would definitely pay for a new class. It’s about the only thing I would pay for tbh.

49

I don’t think they said anything yea or nay about it being a GW property or not. Probably better for them and their creative freedom if it isn’t.

I kinda figured by the engine switch-up, the timing and the secrecy, it was probably something contracted for by Tencent or at least done at their behest. Maybe we’ll even find out someday.

50

It had better be a goddamn linear FPS set in 40k or I’m gonna flip a table :laughing:

Linear like half Life 2 and without any goddamn boring chaos. I want Orks or Tau or Eldar to fight. Hell I’d even take Necrons over chaos.

FS have made the only good 40k themed FPS to date so I’d love to see them do a single player linear story experience. Like SM I guess, but not with SM and it had to be first person. 3rd person sucks nurgle balls.

A man can dream.

51

Hopes and dreams have been dashed once again.

52

I want Ad mech anyway

53

Let’s meet half way with an Admech Ratling :laughing:

54

Where are you getting this info?

And yes they have internal QA, and I know that because one of the QA guys has been on the FS streams recently.

55

It was speculation as previously mentioned, unless you mean the team size - which I remember a CM or other affiliate on the forums mentioning a couple months back. Seemed like a very small company considering their catalogue.

Glad they do have an internal QA If that is the case.

56

Speculation, got it. Was confused because you said you’d heard it:

I don’t remember a CM saying anything about staff reductions. FS grew for DT and the last I recall hearing from Aqshy shortly after launch was that DT was still the largest team in the company.

57

Power Sword P2, all I’m gonna say.

58

no ones is saying they are “suddenly” capable?

59

they might do an anouncement trailer for a classupdate in september or something
