For sure! Rest assured, we’ll be adding this, and other missing events to this section of Sire Melk’s soon! 
Fun for other people. Though for me it isn’t since it means I’m not interacting with enemies.
That is in part because despite the UI saying that it is a HiSTG, the HiInt modifier is not actually applied. It’s just STG.
I think we should all focus our energy on Expeditions, if we wanna dogpile on anything it should be pushing them to fix ---- better yet — enhance that game mode, it needs to be changed in a meaningful way. This is what we should be saying in every post, not begging for 500 aquilas like oliver twist, “can I have more soup, sir?”, no, F off!
I think you should get back in reality and realize that some of us are playing for a significant amount of time without seeing any form of reward whatsoever, any form of it!
Which makes this a what?
A dumb thing to say!
Well, mx currency is only a thing because Fatshark got rid of “spend money directly for things, we promise a premium currency is better guys” and then set it up that you can’t buy a $5.99 outfit for $5.99, you have to spend $7.99 for enough currency and then you have leftover that can’t be used on anything. So much better than spending $5.99 /s
But moving away from that issue, Vermintide 2 offers 5 weapon skins (one per character) and a frame for its events. Darktide offers basic materials/currency you already have a near infinite supply of. So, “better rewards” includes “mx currency” but in general basic materials isn’t a good reward and needs to change.
Thats your problem right there, when did we all became this culture of obsession, no one should spend 1000s of hours on a game. you deviersify. you play darktide, for a bit, after every update, or once weekly, or whatver is reasonable. then if you have time, you either spend it on other hobbies or other games, change the pace, this game was not meant to provide you 1000s of hours of content, you are overdosing yourself, and wonder why you are not getting the same high, like the first time you stuck that needle in your arm, its never going to feel like that.
You need to detox a bit, take a breather, come back and enjoy it.
Right now, in this very moment, the only way to enjoy this game fully is to come play it at every seasonal major update, a new map, or a new class, enjoy it, for a week, or two, or three, then go on a break, until the next update comes.
It is FAAAAAAR healthier and much better for you.
YOU, yes YOU are forcing them to slow progression because you want them to. your attitude is telling them to put in monthly battlepasses, just so you have something to play for. This is toxic dear, and you are encouraging the game to go to a wrong direction.
There are problems with the game, but not the ones you keep highlighting.
You want to be a grazing cow, dont be surprised when they throw cheap feed in front of you.
listen to yourself, what does the currency get you? really dumb looking cosmetics, that has no bearing in a first prson game, where you only see your hands at most. they keep adding new maps, and new zones for FREE.
and I bought aquilas, to support the company, but hte only cosmetics I wear is the ones i unlock at hestia for penances, because I think they look much better and has better aura (like the havok skins) than whatever appears in the shop.
So is not like htey even deprived you of skins, there is comissary, and penances. what more do you want.
Vermintide was a deeply flawed game. yes has some good stuff, but half the maps were locked behind a paywall. i do not want that here at all. and the cosmetics - the best skins are the Weave skins, that you could even get it without buying the expansion from drops. so is not like those skisn even meant anything.
please open your eyes and think rationally for one moment.
I mean, I agree that cosmetics don’t matter in a First Person game. But what others want isn’t up to us and premium currency is objectively worse than buying the same item directly for cash like in Vermintide 2.
Less than half the maps are locked behind a paywall, especially now that they’ve added so many free maps. The main things locked behind paywalls are certain weapon types, and the 5 DLC Careers. and guess what? that paywall is direct payments, not some premium currency voodoo meant to milk money from players. Lastly, the existence of free skins doesn’t invalidate how crappy the premium currency model is for microtransactions. So, I’ll say back to you:
i think he’s really rational personally, it’s fine to call out corpos for dishonest stuff like “oh we came up with aquilas so we can hand them out with events, not because we wanted to force people to buy minimum amounts and obfuscate prices, honest!!!” → cue them making a grand total of two events in 4 years that give 500 aquilas per (one was entirely unannounced and most people missed it)
it’s one of those things that should (and soon enough will) be illegal for consumer protection reasons. it’s always worth shittting on any company for anti-consumer practices, whenever, whereever. KF3 studio just had mass layoffs. this will happen to fatshark soon too if they don’t straighten out their scummy behavior there, consumers are fed up with this stuff
so this is it, this is our problem now, buying garbage cosmetics for real life cash, rather than some made up currency, not the fact that two game modes, mortis trials and expeditions are complete trash and need to be either combined or comepletely evolved. the hill we all are gonna choose to die on is gonna be the microtransactions, and dont go on telling me people care about that too. read the thread here, 90% are complaining about this silly 500 aquila thing. the hill you people are choosing is more slop!
Oh I am sorry, its 45% rather than 50% silly of me. thanks for pointing that out, it completely nullified my point about the garbage system vermintide 2 was operaing on. its all good now.
the classes dont cost premium currency, and they should have, because people would have been able to buy them for free, due to the 500 they keep giving you slobs. rather than now that the yahve to actually pay full price for it.
it is crappy to you, but its working, eveywhere, its a practice that works. and you are also obsessed in it, therefore, clearly it works, your complaints is not even about hte system, its about some side thing that makes it even worse. because once real money is involved, it becomes a regional issue, and fatshark like many other ocmpanies does not have regional pricing. so it screws over the poor. but again, not something you guys really care about.
Fatshark you need to increase number of enemies to H40 for this event, these extra nades are being wasted.
When are you going to improve the wait times on the abysmal implementation of a shop, if you don’t want my money just say kthx
Bro, the hill I’m personally dying on is that Fatshark is a bunch of liars who haven’t added Solo Mode in the 4 years since they said it would be in the game. This thread? This is me pointing out that ONE OF THE MANY ISSUES with Darktide is the garbage event rewards compared to Vermintide 2 and that Premium Currency would be a better reward than the infinite supply of basic materials you can get from playing the game any regular day of the week, alongside OTHER better rewards like event cosmetics and weapon skins. I additionally said that the only reason people even want premium currency as an event reward is a) Fatshark said they’d be earnable in-game (another check for the “Fatshark is a bunch of liars” box), and b) because Premium Currency exists in the first place. I’d appreciate you actually stick to what I’m saying instead of trying to argue against a stance I never took.
Closer to 30%, but it’s still irrelevant to the issue that premium currency is objectively worse than direct purchases. I don’t even know why you’re arguing against this.
Nothing should cost premium currency, period. This still doesn’t invalidate that premium currency exists and should be earnable in-game like they said it would be, and that it is a better reward than basic materials you can get outside of events.
It works because it’s the only option given to players in those games. If Fatshark modified their shop to have a “buy direct” OR “buy with aquilas” option for every premium cosmetic in the game, I guarantee their aquila sales would stop entirely. Why spend more money for something than it costs because the devs are scum?
PLAY THE MOD!!!

What more do you want??
BUT THEY ARE EARNABLE YOU TW4T! you gain around 1000 aquilas per year, 500 per class release, there is an aquila event. this checks the box!
Go complain to your government to ban its purchase then, like belgium did with lootboxes, and now games with lootboxes are eitherbanned or have different monetization. go do that, go fill online petitiosn, this is a practice, you need to kill it at its root, forcing darktide to not take advantage its like forcing them to cripple themselves, no more free content, no more continued development o this game. cause it cant sustain itself. then when it dies, will you be happy then??
it didnt work because if it did, they would have stick to it. they moved on because it was not helping the company at all.
bro doesn’t even own the game
If he owned the game y’all would just say ‘bro still plays it anyway so it can’t be that bad’.
There’s no winning if you think complaining is evil and have this weird parasocial attachment to a video game company.
Them to actually add the game mode, as promised, so that even console players can play solo. Fatshark isn’t Bethesda, they can’t afford to let modders fix their game for them and it’s up to us to hold Fatshark accountable. But that’s a different topic for a different thread. You’re free to join us there again and get humiliated like you did last time.
They are not consistently earnable is the critique. And you said “ask for better rewards”. Ok. People are, and one of the “better rewards” is “premium currency.” It really shouldn’t be this hard to understand.
Vermintide 2 offers plenty of free content, and it didn’t cripple it’s cash shop with premium currency. Just because you want to spend more than the item’s worth to buy it, doesn’t make it a good pricing strategy. You’re also making yet another strawman of my argument. You’re taking “premium currency is objectively worse than direct purchases” and making it out like I’m saying “Fatshark should go bankrupt.” Maybe try responding to what I’m actually saying instead of making things up?
It did work, and it does work. We have 0 idea why Fatshark changed business models, but given the other anti-consumer changes they made between VT2 and DT, it’s fair to assume that corporate greed is the reason and not “our last model didn’t work”.
But clearly you’d prefer to blindly defend the multi-million dollar company than defend your own best interests, so I’ll stop here. Have a great day.
No, I don’t. Because I got a refund for a purchase I made on false promises. I would buy the game again if Fatshark upheld their promise, but that doesn’t stop me from being able to criticize bad practices when I see them.
I mean, he very clearly views ‘asking for consistent premium currency drops’ as mega-entitled whining.
Despite the fact that the trickle of aquilas is straight up not even enough to buy one skin and won’t be for another year at best.
Mobile games aren’t this bad, and those are usually free to play.
