most likely like that yea
and also i’d think a new special event, because usually they always gave 500 aquilas during skulls event, this will be the 3rd time they will give aquila for free, if they do so
i’d say also a balance overhaul for some things is very likely, since they always did in big updates
Somebody has mentioned somewhere - sorry, don’t remember the source - that one of the playtesters (might have been Epic Cole?) was positive about some of the changes in play test branch, without details embedded of course, so there might be something to look forward to.
yes
I look forward to the chat gpt translated threads bitching and moaning about how the most blatant overpowered outliers getting slight nerfs into sensibility has completely ruined the game
I kinda wish there was a ‘here’s what the community has been blatantly wrong about before’ record keeping effort like I’m doing here bc it’d be funny to see the amount of times this forum has been blatantly in the wrong.
I’m keeping my positivity grounded for sure, but I would be lying if what was shared - in terms of least what I saw in DT’s Discord #theorycrafting channel - isn’t indicating that all of these things I listed are/were worked on (at least Darktide-wise - we have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes in VT2). I find it unlikely that these items are *not* going to make it into the game eventually.
I don’t envy them compassionately, but if that’s their way of passing feedback, then it is what it is - I can’t change their mindset about the ebb and flow of the devs attempting to keep the game at least somewhat balanced.
Don’t worry, they’ll hold a meeting on why holding meetings hasn’t been working for Darktide. Then they’ll have another meeting to discuss the results of that meeting.
Fancy that.
Never thought I’d see the day.
Tentative caution with the Soulblaze buffs, but overall I’m extremely happy to see the balance preview. Looks really good and is correctly addressing the central balance issues.
At the very least they have identified the problem. Will they manage more than one slight balance tweak a month? Who knows?
I have been summoned by balance changes. I do see that not much has otherwise changed in the 2 months or so I’ve been away.
The lack of a Scryer’s Gaze buff implies a radical change in policy.
Update hasn’t dropped yet…
xd
i had the insight info
Yes, they identified the problem and effectively doubled down. Now the chinese are mad about the uncanny nerf and start brigading again while the infinite cleave flame staff soulblaze issue got worse.
Hey guys, so I read the title of this thread so I wanted to leave a comment that is not really important, I was looking for feedback by community.
I started playing recently and I have been having a blast playing it, I got a few characters to 30 with 500 rating gear and got the arbites dlc class, which is so far really fun for me because I feel like I am more reliable and useful to my team with true grit talent and being able to spam shock mines.
So I found old threads where there was some kind of a mess with multiclass human cosmetics at first being fine but then not being equippable by arbites class because Fatshark hotfixed it and after the backlash Fatshark decided to make the multiclass cosmetics usable by arbites too.
I haven’t bought any cosmetics or premium currency, although I was curious about one specific item called theta level cranial augment, but for some reason they updated that item to be usable by hive scam too but not by arbites, while there are some very strange makeshift looking cosmetics like voicebox rebreather that are available to all human classes.
So I wanted to ask what gives, why is it like that and is it intended, or did Fatshark mess up? Should I bother reporting it as a bug, or if not why is then voicebox rebreather available to arbites if they were afraid of Games Workshop or damaging class identity.
I don’t really care that much about it since I was able to get For the Drip mod working and that gave me the ability to use that specific cosmetic clientside, but I scoured through the responses made by Fatshark and they haven’t said why they did it that way but maybe I missed it, I’ll provide a couple of pictures I found online to clarify what I meant.
Sorry if this is wrong place to post this, if it is I’ll edit my post and remove it, I recently made a forums account so I am still getting used to the layout.
