We’re still making people play blight spreads in havoc mode? Is this some kind of sick joke? It was ridiculous months ago and now it’s just becoming unforgivable…
Just make a hive scum with chems and ignore the entire modifier
Still wish for all modifiers all maps in the pool. This rotation stuff is crap.
Yep the “rotation” is horrendous, especially when they don’t actually rotate anything and they just let the mode rot and disrespect all their longtime dedicated players. Darktide is a sad joke of a game at this point, hope I will be able to return at some point but at this rate it doesn’t look like they have any interest in working on Havoc or providing longtime dedicated endgame players a decent way to interact with the game. I can’t play a game that makes me feel actively disrespected and unappreciated by the company I’m supporting.
lol this argument is almost as bad as the game design… “just play a specific thing only to ignore the modifier as a whole”
in his defense i think he meant it less as an argument and probably more like “they’re not going to fix this and it’s been like this for over a year so here’s your solutions to it”
oh no, i don’t play the class that gets to IGNORE the entire mechanic.. so… it was more being sarcastic because i’m mad.
its one of the better modifiers because it doesn’t do that whole ‘double down on stale meta’ garbage the rest of the havoc modifers tend to do. it even has direct counters in things that are otherwise mid (besides ablative wards which is just tailor made for havoc in general). but the rest of the modifiers besides this and daemonhosts, afford stupid mechanics that just make people go ‘lol use mass damage’ and are pretty janky even when you play them ‘normally’. cranial reapers, ragers going super saiyan loop after snap-recovering to their feet in 0.2s when staggered into final toll, healing factor mob stuck behind elites, lots of jank I would way rather not deal with than moving my feet.
Between all the jank, the crap modifiers, bad rotation, and worst of all horrible networking and FPS performance of this game I’m close to finally put the game down for good. I still can’t get any of my friends to play the game, they all left and stopped playing after the first 1 to 1½ years and never came back.
So your argument for why blight is alright is that all the other modifiers are terrible? You realize they could just give us and endgame mode without any annoying modifiers altogether? Not sure why they stick to this idea of needing extremely unfun modifiers to make an endgame challenge.
Havoc modifiers have always sucked.
We didn’t need these annoying modifiers in Vermintide to play difficult endgame content, this game would be infinitely better if the main endgame mode wasn’t reliant on these terribly designed havoc modifier that everyone dislikes.
Unfortunately it’s clear they put almost no thought or planning into creating havoc and now they put even less effort into maintaining the mode. It’s a clear disrespect to anyone who actually spent time playing their games over the years, and it’s a clear shift in priorities away from supporting or appreciating their longtime players and more emphasis on creating “hype content” like DLC classes or unplayed game modes like expedition that can bait new downloads and get the game on the front page of steam to draw new eyes.
They have no interest in catering to the people who love their games and as someone who has tens of thousands of hours of tide, I can’t continue to play these games or support them when I feel actively unappreciated and disrespected by the developers.
this entire thread is why i don’t play havoc and just stick to auric
I mean yeah literally, I said as much. I agree the game should have cataclysm AND weaves, but instead we just have weaves and not a lot of people enjoy that. It definitely gets to be ultra turbo samey in very short order, but I think the other modifiers are actually WORSE for that than blight…
