I see a lot of hate being thrown out but personally i play more darktide today than i ever have. Fatshark has done a good job fixing up the game and bringing it to a state that I consider it to be an excellent game. It needed some work at launch, but since then fatshark has done a lot of good.
I’m also speaking as a player who went from havoc 40 to havoc 1 in one week due to their crappy demotion system. They’ll fix it. It takes time, but they’ll fix it.
ouch. losing my whole progress and having to start from scratch, including the party finder shenanigans, feels so motivating 
That’s more a meme than anything, I wouldn’t take it seriously. There’s the occasional person who is actually that elitist about it but 
You get the inverse people who absolutely obsess over their console being the best but those people are also weirdos.
It’s like the people who think the “Git gud” stuff in Souls games is serious and not just a meme. Usually people who started playing them later.
I’m honestly not joking. This game would be in a far better state right now if the console ports never happened, and evidently it benefits so few people that they’re fine leaving it broken for a month straight. Who is benefitting? Microsoft and Fatshark via their little Gamespass deal, certainly not any player. As such I hope interest in these ports drops, and part of that is that I hope it remains as obvious as it is right now that they’re an afterthought playerbase that they don’t care about past the initial gamespass launch. Might change the dynamic if people see through it. That and I just don’t want them to waste time on the 10 xbox players either.
Take it more as a “the state of the industry is absolutely horrible” than elitism thing though
Agree. But they did it. Now, they have to fix the game for these players.
I mean that’s fair to some extent, but that’s not the fault of the players who purchased it in the first place. They should not be punished because Fatshark screwed up. Again.
Say less.
Looking forward to any updates and events! Mid-January is next week!
I know this seems absurd yet I even play Darktide through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate via my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, it works great, yet I noticed some issues since Microsoft/Xbox decided to not allow to play through the original Xbox Game Pass app now, and you are having to go through the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Xbox.com method. In this case, there is some issues where if you decide to use Party Chat or have mic on for communications, the gameplay sound and communications quality drops so much that I end up opting to not use the mic communications. Its not Fatshark fault in that case, its something on Microsoft Xbox cloud gaming end. It is something that I feel is where they are pushing players to just go buy the console itself or go play on PC (which I aspire to) as you can play Darktide on the PC via Xbox Game Pass and such.
I agree there is a need for Fatshark to help increase the Xbox QoL, even then, the need to update achievements and allow mod porting
Why does the enemy’s armor matter, but ours doesn’t?
Because that’s not how the game works or is balanced. If cosmetics gave stats, we would see only several optimized sets of cosmetics worn by almost everyone, which would be extremely boring. If that’s not a satisfying answer to you, consider the fact that our characters have so much plot armor it doesn’t really matter what actual armor we wear. If you are familiar with Warhammer 40k in general, I’m sure you see what I mean
I completely agree, although I took what our friend Liu Kang said as a complaint that certain Enemies are able to take chunks out of your Health directly through your full Toughness?
I could be completely wrong, though, and thus your interpretation could be more accurate in that case because what he said was EXTREMELY vague.
Yes, that’s what I meant. That the enemy’s armor holds back the damage, and ours is like a decoration
Gameplay variety vs pay to win mechanics ?
Toughness does stop a certain percentage of the damage though
And backpacks. Why not increase the wearer of them, for example, ammunition, healers…
Sure, let me buy this power regulator backpack that lets my vet to wield powersword permanently in active state.
totally not pay 2 win.
The cosmetics system is already bad.
Please do not make it worse.
Horrific idea…
Late reply but this is so wrong on many levels.
Fatshark needs money to further develop the game, they did not release it on Xbox and ps5 out of charity.
If they did not release your precious game on console it would almost be the same as it was on launch.
Dont forget vt2 had careers to sell, darktide as of this moment only has cosmetics.
It would not have been better, in fact it would have been worse.
