Some thoughts about announcement

1st of all I am generally very negative person, so let’s start with negativity and like Fatshark decided to copy paste 2 of new class auras,I will copy paste myself from another topic:

I will not pass more judgment on talents than I already did in topic about them, I’d rather wait till gameplay. But on paper they look interesting enough, I wouldn’t mind playing, especially this whole thing with mixing your own stimm.

Though I must say watching fall out of class announcement is entertaining.

“Hope is 1st step on the road to disappointment” and I think I can see from my window Darktide gamers being propelled by their burning asses to explore outer space.

Unlike most people I actually not so disappointed, nor am I pleased much, I would also preferred tech priests,but this ganger class was within my expectations. Like it or not, it fits within darktide idea and game narrative. I thought that if not now, then later it would be introduced. I would not exclude that it can be good both in gameplay and narratively with some fun character interaction.

Obviously priests of Mars fit too, they must be added at some point.

Weapon skins that being sold in deluxe edition look unappealing, this weaponry in general is some custom made garbage and for some reason Fatshark decided to add even more repulsive design for real money.

Speaking or weapons, I am only slightly interested about playing with them, I don’t care that I can dual wield them.

From what I know about lore of the game, Darktide is also a term that includes not only forces of chaos, but also xenos and atoma prime and this whole galactic sector around it is one front of facing darktide. So why no xeno weapons? I specifically googled it, some gangs can have fun alien toys. Hive gangs got access to black market, some gangs is known to be under nobility control, so they swim in money.

They along with dark eldars scummy enough to trade with each other or it can end up in hands of gangs trough traders. Dark eldar weaponry perfectly fits to their toxic abilities, because it’s filled with toxins. It would something way more unique and exiting, than analogues of shredder pistol and a crowbar.

I hope gameplay reveal will be better than one that arbites got, but I got feeling than I am stepping on aforementioned road, while knowing Fatsharks marketing quality standards.

It broke my heart and hopes.

I was hype… and now I am not.

Not the most creative class…

The trailer was definitely a step down from the arbities trailers

Like it’s very obvious this is significantly less of a big deal release for the game. Like I see what they were going for (this sort of punk rock gangster being stylish and cool) in the trailer but it just doesn’t hit the mark and is just sort of totally inconsistent with the rest of the game and setting as a whole.

Speculation that the original trailer included stimm use but GW canned it for “implied drug usage” as you can hear stimm effect when the heretics run at the ganger. Sometimes your vision runs into corporate nonsense.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was true.

It is part of the setting, bur it is not the most popular part of it.

It is

But even necromunda content isn’t presented like this trailer
