Vermintide 2 is a $30 game and had 5 characters/“classes” with 3 sub-classes each before new classes started being released as paid DLC. Meanwhile, Darktide is $40, has one fewer class, yet we still have to pay for new classes? I refunded the game right around launch (only still playing because it was gifted to me later) and haven’t given FS a single cent since then, largely because of greedy decisions like this.

well simce nurgle holds great power in those rotten heads, payment is mandatory for every not unemployed or fully disabled citizen. little chance to get off that hook easy :poop:

[image] anon63448941: Because continuous development of a video game requires developers be paid. Creating a new class requires lots of time and resources I wonder how Ghostship Games is still in business considering they added tons of weapons, biomes and seasonal events for free. They must all be volunteers right?

I don’t mind if it’s paid dlc, it’s the cost that worries me. 4x skins, one for each class, is more expensive than the main game. So your probably looking at something between £20-£30, for something worth £10. I could be wrong, but greed is something I associate with FatShark.

Shocking if this is actual price. They did something right for once. Bet it’s more in EU and UK though.

It’s €11.99. [image] Arbites Class Coming June 23 Announcements [dt-introtoarbites-devblogHeader] Hello Everyone, We hope you enjoyed Warhammer Skulls 2025 as much as we did! We’re excited to finally reveal what we’ve been building behind the scenes. The Arbites Class is coming to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on June 23, 2025, across all platforms. We will be releasing several blogs from now until release on June 23 with more information on Arbites: a first look at the talent tree, your cyber-mastiff, the new weapons, and more! To show you a bit how we cra…

Well, wasn’t it Aqshy that said that though ?

[image] anon63448941: The only logical answer is a permanent, full catalog in place of the rotating store. Or they add the word Arbites at the top of the shop… plenty of space to do it. I would not bet on a cosmetic shop rework.

lol yes. Hedge catching strays out here with people talking nonsense. [image]Community Update #6: Signal Update In patch 1.0.14, we removed the timer from The Commodore’s Vestures, where players could purchase premium cosmetics via Aquila packs. Our plan for the shop is to give players more time between rotation periods until we reach three screens worth of cosmetic bundles. The timer will remain inactive until the first page is due to be rotated out with 24 hours remaining. It’s important to note that the store is on rotation to give players some variety while at the same time not creating clutter. We feel that unlimited store pages are likely to create confusion and a bad user experience. Rest assured, the cosmetics are not gone forever and will likely reappear.

Why is the new class paid DLC?
