Ok so got to play a quick lunchtime mission and must say the event is FUN!!! not sure what has happened to enemies in auric but they feel turbo charged and it’s really great. Makes auric feel a bit like havoc.
Still multiple trappers firing at you from different angles at the same time is totally lame. Please fix that.
As promised, I’m very happy indeed to have been wrong 
Yes! More of this Fatshark!
Every month there needs to be an event that rewards people aquilas. That would be amazing.
better save up for next year lol
Liking this event because it’s something you do almost passively, it’s non-gameplay-invasive
It’s pretty chill, gives you some aquila cash AND totem look REALLY cool!
Wait ! Mourningstar getting festive for the occasion ? Small discounts here and there in the premium store ? Earnable Aquilas during events ?
…
Are you ok Fatshark ? I thought i’ll never see that day coming from you. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one !
Let’s hope we don’t have to wait the 42th millennium to see more of this.
Did one mission… never found what we have to destroy.
I looked the event and saw that we need 12 000 things like that when I cannot see one… Pressed ALT then added F4. Clicked on Helldivers 2 and enjoyed the rest of the evening.
Will try again today.
And no… I am not patient with a game that feel less and less interesting due to the lack of solo game mode added to the lack of balance.
Only certain missions marked from mission select qualify. I know, weird.
Every event so far has been like this. If it doesnt have the little “I” it doesnt use event mechanics.
I think this should be made very clear ON the mission select screen.
I did one Malice and one Heresy last night and got about 900 in each, Im currently sitting at 1815/12000.
You get 250 for each alter thing you destroy and I think there are 3 on each level?
Realistically, its gonna take about 15 games to complete the event unless you and your team dont pick up skulls and miss lots of alters.
foisting these on us is like playing a game of “guess if they notice”.
I’m like 99% positive the drive here was to offer popular (chainaxe is so rad) discounted weapon skins without pissing off the people who already bought the near-identical skins before at full price.
funny how vermintide 2 got an update buffing the bots Ai like they arnt already able to solo carry through missions. meanwhile darktide has the absolute worst ai i have ever seen and you can even solo que
There a specific mission modifiers on the mission board, you get green glowing skulls by killing enemies, and these are dropped randomly on the floor, found in the boxes and corners.
Picking up skulls will count for everyone in the group.
Also there will be 2-3 totems per map that you need to destroy by melee’ing them that give 250? I believe?
Per my estimate it will take you 3-4 games for 4 days to get everything, pretty simple really.
As for solo mode, it’s unlikely because it makes no financial sense to spend resources on it. Why reserve a server slot for a single person when you can add 3 more players? (Running servers cost money)
Server based hosting has its advantages and disadvantages. One of many reason why we wont get Twitch Mode in Darktide, which is a tragedy on its own and is missed marketing opportunity.
If you are impatient with the game, go play something else and come back later?
Because they promised their players that they would.
In one hand I agree ; Darktide is a COOP game, it’s meant to be played with other players, buying a multiplayer game and having the mindset to do it alone sorry to tell it but it’s just dumb. Wasting time to make a solo mode to satisfy a small pourcentage of the playerbase when Darktide is definitly craving for more regular content such as maps it’s clealy not the way to play. We saw what happen with Havoc and Mortis now.
On the other hands they did promised a mode and since Vermintide 2 use local games with ease it shouldn’t be that hard to make it with the same engine, right ?
A Nexus mod managed to do it after all…
But we are no longer at a broken promise close with Fatshark since 10+ years. We are still waiting for mod support with the first Vermintide for example.
Get over it and move on. Plans change.
Then use solo mod from nexus then, I don’t know what to say really. As I mentioned in the reply above, plans change, get over it.
No one cares for mods for V1, it’s literal meme at this point.
Fat Shark, please continue offering event rewards like this one; it’s the best so far. I also suggest keeping the four featured sets on top of the current selections and rotating them weekly. This way, people won’t have to wait months for specific sets and items.
