The unofficial newcomers guide to the forums: READ HERE FIRST!

Welcome Varlet! Please read through the following notes and guidelines.
Here we outline ten key points that you should know prior to contributing your first post!

  1. Everybody here plays on Tier 5 Auric High Intensity STG and/or Maelstrom missions. Every time. You will never find a post stating “well, I mainly play Tier 3 for Melk quests and …”.

  2. Everyone’s main character is a Veteran. They may say ‘Psyker’ or ‘Zealot’, even ‘Ogryn’, but it isn’t true. Veteran is FatSharks favourite child, and everyone here takes advantage of it.

    • Why you might ask? Well, because it has always been the highest damage class and easiest to play. Apparently it got rebalanced in October and MAN, you should have seen the noise here. It’s STILL going. You’ve been warned. Honestly, it’s true.
  3. Weapon balance conversations actually mean, “when I play Veteran, xyz.” Even for weapons bespoke to a different class such as staves.

  4. Nobody here fails a mission. You should immediately leave and delete the game if you’ve had this happen. Unless of course it was due to some underleveled ‘noob’ who should never have been able to click join with them. Likely a knife wielding Zealot who ran off ahead of their team and hit their cloaking skill to dump aggro. That’s the only time you’re permitted to die. No failures here please.

  5. FatShark don’t post here. They don’t read here either. Their team is made up of 100% real life psykers who determine the direction of the game by mind-reading the silent majority who don’t visit the forums, reddit, discord or steam pages. Rumour has it though there is one community staff member who stalks the pages to close them down when they get rowdy, but shhh … keep your eyes peeled.

  6. You’ll see a lot of posts about crafting, vet nerfs, and trappers. These are traps! Don’t post there. Honestly. You’ll get snared in @brosgw 's Crafting Memorial net :wink: Seriously though. Don’t. Just DM him and save yourself some time. We’re all on there.

  7. You’ve got a great idea!? No you haven’t. They’ve all been done. Please use the search function and save yourself some time. Or maybe you do have something genuinely new. Stow it, it will get trashed. Or maybe… no, realistically, purrleeease, see rule 5. Nobody is going to implement them.

  8. Want some forum badges for interactions? Ignore rule 6 and create a new thread. Go on. Treat yourself.

  9. Yes, that one costume really is as expensive as the whole game was. Hah! We KNOW! :slight_smile: Comedy aside. Yeah, don’t. Interesting fact: the same costumes a year ago are now 3 times the price. Wow. Digital Inflation. Better put that £20 in to a crypto currency investment.

  10. All the above are bollocks. Welcome aboard - honestly we’re pleased to have you join from the silent majority. Good luck on your T3 Melk currency farming escapades as a Psyker with non-meta surge staff and axe.

It might be. It probably is. If it didn’t cause an issue I probably didn’t remove it from the mod loader file.

I also just… Haven’t played darktide in a couple months now. The Christmas sale I bought a bunch of VR and single player games discounted. And the crafting sucks and killed me friends group intention to play it more so. Maybe I will refresh my mods eventually :stuck_out_tongue:
