How many hours have you spent in the game? At least hundreds if not thousands as many of us on this forum. 45 Euro is nothing for that amount of entertainment, as long as you are enjoying it. No one is forcing anyone to buy the class. Even with the base game which you can buy at a discount you can easily hit 1000s of hours.
I can see what is going to happen in Quickplay.
It is a class like Zealot that relies on mobility to avoid damage. A lot of new players were using Arbites/Ogryn for high toughness regen, out stagger enemies with mauls.
Depending on it’s toughness regen, if it’s too squishy to balance it’s damage output - Going to be challenging for new players expecting it to be tanky.
- Anti-Armor melee effectiveness
- Toughness regen and compared to other 2 classes
- Mobility
Anti-Armor - That interests me most. In a game populated with congo crushers.
Even if not effective, just something “new” to pass the time even if I don’t end up using it again.
Darktide is a really great game at a great price point. 40 bux and you get 4 amazing classes + tons of maps and weapons??? Its a AA and 1/2 game for AA price.
I struggle to think of other titles, with exception of VT2, few RPGs and maybe MMORPGs (if you are into those) which can provide you with DT level of longevity.
sry i dont buy this argument
if they present a plan B class it should be free to play
if it was scribe i would have given them all my money
How can you not “buy” the argument which says that good entertainment isn’t free and you are getting a far higher mileage out of DT than many other games. New games these days sell at 70-80 Euro price tag and offer far less content.
Why don’t you delete your account and don’t argue about anything ever online then.
Insane take.
i’ve got my milage when the game was just that, after patch 13 which ruined my favorite class i havn’t play much
anyways its not much different from the skin shop argument, if they had skins that i’d like i would buy them, shame they all suck
the arbites idea was worth 12 euros so i gave it to them, what are we even talking about
i still played it for the penances and never touched it again, was it a worth it investment? maybe not, so maybe i won’t repeat the same mistake with the hive ganger
i wasn’t too interested in arbites and i’m definetly even less interested into the hive ganger
how can i be entrhilled to se a class that will yield S tier performances with makeshift farmtools when i’ve been complaining for years that it should not be the direction this game should go
I never argue because I am always right, I’m just letting you know.
There is somewhat of a difference between an argument and nonstop crying about everything fatshark does. It gets insanely tiresome and paints a very poor picture about how immature DT community is.
YOU ARE OWED NOTHING.
Yes
It’s not even a summoner, he has a companion, that a lot of people opt out because it’s not enough
You do understand that the vast majority of players had no idea what an Arbites was before it was announced right
This literally can be done without the need to add an exotic new class
I’m pretty sure even in lore gangers have access to iconic weapons that FS could add to any class at this point
It’s also funny because they didn’t even do that with Arbites, again just the dog that it wasn’t even that extremely iconic to the lore as most didn’t even knew what they were before the announcement
Did you see everything they’re adding with him tho? A lot more than Arbites ever brought
I don’t think time-money ratio works to a full extent tbh. How many of those hours were spoiled by locks? Fixing game with mods cause devs don’t care. Bugs, “mission was aborted” etc.
Especially considering we are playing a live service game, it’s expected people are willing to invest time and money, focus shifts towards consistent content delivery.
But as there are worse examples, there are also better ones.
Maturity is now tied to accepting and handwaving every thing a company does, no matter how bad things get?
Insane take.
Phracatti’s take is fine, still when i see fraudolent dlcs i won’t buy them, i’ve grown accustomed with total war warhammer 3 on spotting those
I’m so sorry you don’t need to resummon the dog. Holy nitpicking. The idea is the same - summoner, pet owner, houndmaster, etc. Any class with companion or combat proxy entity is extremely popular in ARPGs, MMOs, and all other genres.
that a lot of people opt out because it’s not enough
Still was enough to be popular?
First of all, were there any polls? Second - trailer was cool. Doggo is cool. Dredd reference is cool. You have all marketing selling points there for those who don’t know the lore. For those who know, well they named their arbites Fischig.
Sorry haven’t seen plasma pistol, radium guns, meltagun, power axe or Omnisian axe. What’s there? Pipe bomb, and grenade launcher?
What are you even trying to say here? Is this some weird attempt to gaslight people into liking crowbar cause it’s peak warhammer?
People who love Warhammer 40k love the lore and the deep, rich world.
You can’t make a game based on 40k and expect people to gloss over the theme of a character.
I came to DT for the setting but stayed for the gameplay. That doesn’t mean I want any old sh!te though. And a hive ganger is certainly that imo.
Any of the suggested character types would have had fun gameplay, especially when considering how starved of content we are, but they chose the absolute least exciting character choice possible.
So yeah, people are gonna whine. In this instance it’s quite justified. Why didn’t they just listen to the community?
EDIT: I have no issue with FS charging money for DLC whatsoever. I just wish they had chosen a more exciting character then I wouldn’t need to mull over paying for it or not.
This is what I try saying all the time. Its astonishing how stingy people are when it comes to art. They’ll splurge on a bunch of crap, but anything that’s taken countless hours of effort to produce they want for dirt cheap. $40 is not a lot of money in any sense, and the base game as it is now far exceeds that value.
I’ve gotten 1000+ hours of gametime from $40. Any complaining about the DLC class costing money is pretty damn nitpicky to me.
The setting takes place in a hive city, so it wouldn’t exactly make sense not to have any gangers present. Also a 4 man squad of gangers will seem like a really cool theme to a lot of people.
I personally believe Fatshark is saving the best for last in terms of classes. They are probably rolling out the more sensible classes first (cops and criminals of Atoma) before they release the more extravagant classes (Possibly Admech and Eldar Ranger) as the story escalates more intensely. That probably goes for enemies as well. The level of enemies will get tougher (Demons, Genestealers) as we get classes to match
