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: > [@Worst Experience in Darktide?](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/worst-experience-in-darktide/103707/393): > > tbh it’s easier to check 6 boxes than to pick the essential and synergic skills on a tree. most players were rather inexperienced and the power level was overall lower. also, i had not played vermintide before, so i was not familiar with fatshark’s combat system, and although i was an fps veteran, that didn’t translate so well into darktide. strafing for example is continuous in classic fps, but in darktide it’s a limited number of discrete dodges, and this didn’t get into my head so easily. … 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/the-new-gating-system-is-a-start-but-doesnt-go-far-enough/110179)._
