indeed 
many people seem to be out of their depth with simply controlling their character , so there’s little attention left to individual positioning and tactics, and even less to things concerning other players.
tbh darktide mechanics differ enough from classic shooters so i didn’t have it easy either in the beginning, as i elaborated here:
btw, my own biggest challenge is keeping track of everything due to all visual clutter in the game.
but what’s really striking is this lack of common sense in some people. for example, if i’m already far in front of my team, and i continue running, while they can’t advance because of fire: where do i think i’ll end up? perhaps… even farther away and alone?
darktide isn’t a pvp game where you need to outsmart a cunning opponent, but a pretty brainded ai that mostly overwhelms you with numbers… and being beaten by that is rather humbling imo when it happens only because people see enemy, run at enemy, and forget about everything around them.
