Lmao yeah. The aim assist targets the closest enemy on console. So if a random rat wanders too close, bam aim assist bodyshot on a clan rat when you just struggled to line up a shot on a blightstormer that is clipped out of view by bad fps that you can only see the casting animation for
Maybe they should consider some arbitrary buffs then for console players, kinda like OW
Iâm more so hoping that they just donât make the same mistakes with Darktide.
Its really obvious that console is an afterthought and that simply buffing HP significantly for hordes to compensate for their smaller size and adding a terrible aim assist has some very negative consequences.
Cleave through density =/= total hp in this game.
It screws with the balance alot.
Even things like merc cleave talent, + enemies hit, and the design of many weapons vary significantly due to the differences for consoles.
Yet they will port the exact same items with the same talents, damage, weapon combos into console.
Things like halberd block cancel is largely trivial ( no real reason to use it ) and slow weapons that PC will throw attack speed on need to be +power to horde clearingâŚ
as I understood it, Console has (or had, rather) an innate damage boost of like 20% that PC didnât have. However, according to this thread, that boost isnât a thing any more?
Maybe thatâs the cause of things feeling rougher now than before?
After the stagger mechanics update, many things broke on console.
The âfixesâ on patch notes almost never line up to lived experience.
Most of the âlow fpsâ âcleaveâ âdamage modifiersâ for console donât live up to scrutiny ( unfortunately)
The game is very complicated and meticulously balanced. Which is a HUGE credit to fatshark for making such a cool number crunching game.
HOWEVER. For some reason, the fixes and performance of talents/weapons routinely break during gameplay on console ESPECIALLY on legend/cata.
Id go âall inâ on saying that the game performs beautifully on champion and below for Xbox, but when too many events are concurrent on legend+, it breaks.
Unrelated, but most obvious⌠Halescourge is still a broken map on console 2.5 years later.
The FPS/clipping issues make it neigh unplayable ( easily ) on cata+ from the first bridge forward.
I donât think youâd find many console players that would disagree on that one lol

This is starting to sound less and less like a balance issue/PC player issue and more that console has been somewhat abandoned by FS it seems
We couldâve avoided all the messing around in this thread if you had just cut straight to the point in the original post, yâknow

Lol. I donât think there is any mess. Its definitely a mix of balance, abandonment, and cross update balancing.
If youâre gonna believe/ take it seriously/personally that the topic is âstop complaining PC playersâ instead of viewing it as a catchy title meant to bring attention to an issue in the game, well thatâs on you.
At the end of the day, its just a game and its not worth getting upset over. Maybe I forget someone is gonna get bent out of shape over everything lol
Pretty sure thatâs on you m8. You communicated it poorly if the intent was to be tongue in cheek. Comes off straight up as complaining/salt and the genuine issues arenât highlighted at all properly until later in the thread.

What is all this then? A joke we should be laughing at? Yet you came all the way to the forums to make a post about an issue that is nagging at you. But taking it seriously or personally is all on me and has nothing to do with you? Even though your postâs third line is ââŚbecause YOU are making it so much HARDER.â Seems pretty serious to me.
So hereâs my bit of advice. Leave yourself out of the next thread you post on the forums. Give us the info about the issue, problem, bug, inquire, ask questions etc. But leave your anger, or whatever the original post is an outlet of, at the door. Do this in a respectable manner and the conversation will stay on topic. Whether you agree with that I have pointed out or not is utterly irrelevant because these are simply the expectations you will be held to when conducting yourself on these forums. Am I taking this seriously? Yes, because comments like your recent one are wasting my time.

Lol. Ok m8
Fatshark needs to stop cross balancing to console with issues from PC. The end.
But yes. It should be somewhat amusing because its unlikely to really do anything.
The PC changes ported to console regularly make the game harder/less playable both due its design and extenuating issues.
I donât care at all if youâre offended. The more posts this thread has, the more likely FS will look at it.
The console community is too small to be listened to at this point anyways and pc players donât really care what happens on console.
If the only way to bring attention to the cross balancing issues is to be cheeky, Iâm going to be cheeky

For example. There are constant complaints about WHC on the forums about PC.
On console, he is barely played ( like huntsman ) because they revolve around getting consistent headshots and the breakpoints for hordes line up with his rapier.
On console, you need to spec rapier for infantry/chaos to 1 shot kill most horde mobs without staggering them.
If PC gets what they desire, its likely the talent/weapon changes go to console as well and these careers are played even less.
So YES. I am trying to be funny and give voice to the console community at the same time.
Just posting a serious thread laying out cross balancing issues isnât likely to garner alot of attention.
There ARE some players left with 1k hours + that do cata on Xbox. We all know each other because the community is so small now.
With V2 on gamepass ( its free ) there are many new players trying to game out for the first time now. Iâd like it if we could retain some of those players instead of frustrating them into oblivion while they learn all of the idiosyncrasies of console play and learn not to trust anything they read online about v2.
When Darktide comes on Xbox S. Iâm hoping they donât IGNORE PC/Console cross balancing issues because they will come up.
If this thread or enough voices gets one sentiment to FS about how they balance cross platform, Iâll be happy.

?? that happens all the time though and doesnât leave any room for confusion
Also pretty sure youâre just shifting gears at this point because everyone responded negatively and pointed out that it ainât our fault Fatshark dropped the ball on console

No fam. Iâm just real about how PC players are in this game.
I know yaâll donât care at all about console, so I came at it in a way that generated responses because console players generally have already given up and abandoned these forums ( the few that are left )
I 100% expected overwhelmingly entitled and blustery responses from PC players that were going to take this seriously.
Do a search for console issue posts and see how much attention they get WITHOUT bringing up PC
âentitledâ
lmao ok bud, I forgot wanting QoL updates for a game you love and providing feedback based on your experiences on your own platform is entitled. Also bullsh*t we donât care about console, Iâm sure many donât but there are quite a few who do but we arenât on console so we canât really speak to what it needs
clearly what it doesnât need is PC balancing/patches but again that ainât on us so yeah when you come in coming off super salty about us wanting updates oriented towards our platform youâre gonna get a negative response because weâre not doing it out of some bizarro hatred for consoles, we just want our experiences with this game we love to be better; much the same as you do with yours.
Itâs not entitled to respond to salt with salt, especially when youâve come in bad faith

Unfortunately. Only sensationalism gets console attention
I think the REALITY is that the forums lump all platforms together and that information is just consolidated.
You can readily assume all posts are specifically about PC even if they donât mention its about PC.
âWe need to fix x and xâ instead of âPC has an issue with x and xâ
you keep shifting between these like as though the former excuses the immaturity of the latter
Anyway you should consider reaching directly out to Hedge and see if he can forward your concerns on to the relevant developers.
