1. **Going past 80%** : Weapons are still stuck at the 80% stat wall, and players with many hours have a bunch crafting materials lying around, why not use those materials to go past 80%? 2. **Mortis Trials wasted potential** : Chaos wastes from Vermintide 2 was a winning formula, I hope the current form of mortis trials is merely a test to see how the system works, but I would to see the chaos wastes implemented in Darktide, also I believe the free form perks from chaos wastes was better than the one in Mortis. 3. **Free cosmetics shop** : this one needs an update, all the weapons added after it’s initial release are nowhere to be found, maybe even add more colors other than red and blue. 4. **Solo mode** : why not just add it? the players who want play solo can do so using mods already, and I truly believe it will take no effort from fatshark to simply add it. 5. **Dueling Sword** : Most broken weapon, makes all the other options feel weak, I even tested it with no talents, blessings, or perks, and it is still better than most weapons if not all. 6. **Cosmetics recolor** : we should have the option to apply any pattern and colors to any piece of gear we own. ---

> [@aaakm](#): > > **Going past 80%** : Weapons are still stuck at the 80% stat wall, and players with many hours have a bunch crafting materials lying around, why not use those materials to go past 80%? I do feel that this (if at all) should be done AFTER Fatshark has fixed Darktide’s glaring balancing issues. Player Power is already through the roof without access to 100% Stats on Weapons, and the subsequent Enemy Spam does NOT need to get any worse. I personally agree with @Heretical_Cactus on simply converting 80% into 100%, 60% into 80% and so on. > [@aaakm](#): > > **Mortis Trials wasted potential** : Chaos wastes from Vermintide 2 was a winning formula, I hope the current form of mortis trials is merely a test to see how the system works, but I would to see the chaos wastes implemented in Darktide, also I believe the free form perks from chaos wastes was better than the one in Mortis. Yeah, I would also like to see Chaos Wastes implemented at some point in the future. I will be patient with it, though. Mortis Trials, to me, is a really cool way to implement an “Arcadey” Game Mode with insane Enemy Spam that you can combat with some cool Boons. It is a bit undercooked at the moment, but with some more time in the oven it could be something wonderful. > [@aaakm](#): > > **Free cosmetics shop** : this one needs an update, all the weapons added after it’s initial release are nowhere to be found, maybe even add more colors other than red and blue. The actual state of the Commissary right now: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/verEvNORcnQ/hqdefault.jpg "Drop Dead Fred - Cobwebs") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=verEvNORcnQ) > [@aaakm](#): > > **Solo mode** : why not just add it? the players who want play solo can do so using mods already, and I truly believe it will take no effort from fatshark to simply add it. If it pleases Fatshark, I would like it if I could use my other Characters as Custom Bots like the ones that we have in Vermintide 2. True Solo would also be cool to see. Either way, I just want to be able to host Private Games with all of my own chosen Modifiers both with and without friends. > [@aaakm](#): > > **Dueling Sword** : Most broken weapon, makes all the other options feel weak, I even tested it with no talents, blessings, or perks, and it is still better than most weapons if not all. Duelling Swords’ current state is _genuinely_ unhealthy for the game. If Crushers were not being killed in literal seconds after spawning by Weapons that SHOULD be unsuitable for achieving such a feat, perhaps Darktide wouldn’t need to pack rooms full of them. > [@aaakm](#): > > **Cosmetics recolor** : we should have the option to apply any pattern and colors to any piece of gear we own.

who said I want that? except you of course. I told it numerous times. I want something balanced, a game not ridiculous in the spawn (I feel that 15 dreg ragers is a little too much) and I ask a solo game mode because with that, you can ignore entirely the question of balance (as you play alone, you can choose what weapons will be used in the mission). For me they should put at 100% what is actually 80%. > [@psyk](#): > > the game was already built without that in mind it would take a massive effort to add in a color pallet Totally wrong The system is already implemented. But the mechanisms to recolor etc would need to be created. But colors and textures, the system is already in the game Check for the drip mod. ---

> [@Heretical\_Cactus](#): > > Sadly they want to be able to sell variants I still think the best compromise is to sell variants of premium models for cash and sell reskins of default-models for dockets. Taking the Revolvers as an example, there’s no reason to sell a default model with a different skin for actual money, that’s “Art Intern” level nonsense and they already had two premium models they could have reskinned instead. Although I’m 90% sure that all the stuff we’d get in the docket shop will instead be diverted to penance rewards. Because we’ve been getting a _lot_ of ‘free’ cosmetics, they’ve just been used to encourage penance completion instead. ---

I mean, they could make 80% the new 100%, but keep everyone’s stats at 80 (Which would now be like 60), and make you go through some rig-a-ma-role to get the “Red” version that just returns you to the power level we’re at now.
