This video shows just how janky darktide is since last patch. Long range bursters, silent auspexes, new class with a bunch of perks unusable (AGAIN) and many more.
i really hope they fix these bugs before their vacation, instead of doing what they did to arbites and just letting half of the skill tree fester for months.
You can be sure that we will get a merry Christmas from Fatshark, but they will let us with the current game state
Unfortunately not
I mean threads about DS, Psyker gaze, someone wanting Hive Missile launcher regen, people wanting Hive buffs before his nodes are fixed yet, Arbites base toughness, VoC, Krak.
With every new weapon, every new class, every rework that happens - The list grows faster than they can handle.
Yet for over a year full range node Ogryn Rumbler build makes comedy out of Auric with easy refills from ammo pickups.
I don’t think they know where to start.
Then you see the way randoms are in game like topping 10% health during combat at medstation, then at 90% they do it again then again. Knowing full well what they’re doing.
The game, the way people behave - You just end up giving up hope.
He said he has none…
He just wanted to push for it…
Admit it… you would be happy if they would, at least, correct the most annoying bugs on the new class before leaving for their holidays..
I am behind him here… I hope… but I firmly believe it won’t happen.
However, if it happened, the initiative would please all players.
I would never say it enough
I want a solo game mode for that… yesterday again, spammed clicked the medic station. The guy,with only one wound and 40 hp, refused to move back… and died 25 seconds later… (must say that I laughed a lot)
They could easily add in mechanics for better behaviour.
With other things raised they do acknowledge they’ll look into, depends if happens or happens much later. But solo mode - Complete silence, so you know what that means…No/Yes/Soon. Zilch.
If look at Steam negative reviews on base game, it’s all performance rather than solo mode comments. So don’t think they’ll ever add solo mode if noise too low about it.
Now if look at Steam negative reviews for Hive DLC. You just know what they’re going to do to this class to make it more attractive to buy.
Why reduce cosmetics price. It is selling as intended anyway. If didn’t sell well, they would reduce. Couple of guys abroad spend few days creating a skinset then sell it as class DLC price, where creating a class takes miles more effort in comparison.
Monetary driven decisions. Work in short-term only to make money, but the long game lies in reputation.
I applaud in maintaining hope. But I’m cynical enough to set expectations low because history proves so.
At this point, what we’re describing we want sounds like another game entirely.
That’s particularly sad since what we’re describing essentially just boils down to “functionality and balance, please”.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
He wrote this after I started writing my post.
If they buff survivability, they will enter in a cycle where they will have later to nerf it, then get complaints, then buff it again, then buff all others…
But, I would not be surprised. We told them 1 year and half before they had to increase the HP pool for all enemies… we said them that it would, in the end, force them to do that. The worse… it was not even enough with all the powercreep they offered us.
But if they buff survivability of the class, not long after they will have to nerf the DPS. Then it would be just one another… boring class.
I liked Arbites… for the shield. Interesting. The shotgun also, but just because I always wanted a shotgun in this game and what they offered as shotgun was, before Arbites, fake shotguns. But, let’s be honest… have I loved them? no. Too secure to play with them, too slow.
At contrary, this class is a dream. For melee: Yes, you die like a scum (as we cannot write the other word). Yes, you’re made of glass. Yes, 2 hits and you’re on floor.. even me. But guys, the gameplay is so visceral. You see 15 guys dying in few seconds, you turn back, aim this guy, bam, you return in front, run, pick a stimm, take your crowbar and explode these 4 bruisers… etc… My god…
I don’t know what others see… I suspect they see others playing and feel frustrated, but once you have tasted this gameplay…
You die like a scum with a smile on your lips.
Desperado is not the same… but I won’t continue…
Fact is… this class is a big surprise for me because I really love it. So much potential. I hope they won’t destroy it, like they did with zealot
Tbh, I was about to stop Darktide before this class.
The changes they made on zealot made the class boring for me…
So the Scums are finally what I waited… something visceral, fast, bloodly and dangerous
You can do some legendary things with it and you can die in 0,45 sec. Not a stability performance but still a fun one.
Exactly that…
My son loves watching me playing… he said me, “Dad, this goes too fast”… you see things dying everywhere…
V I S C E R A L and I LOVE IT.
Yeah was in archivum sycorax yesterday was a stair full of all stuff pressing the rampage button and killing absolutely everything and miss maybe 12 health even me I was quite surprised…
Mates was choked like « hey are you ok ? »
It this is exhausting too I can do 2-3 auric and need a break after. With Arby I can play the whole night. This is not a bad thing. This is pretty refreshing
i didnt lol, i understood your joke!
