Worst Experience in Darktide?

NGL dude, it wasn’t out of altruism so TY but I don’t deserve any props. I should have left 10 minutes in at the latest, but I was curious to see how the rest would play out, part morbid curiosity part stience.
It was not fun for me in the least despite me playing relatively well with a weapon I didn’t use much (evisc) on top of that. The amount of facetanking in the first 10 minutes alone, then the excuses and hostility when I nicely asked them to tone it down and tighten it up a bit was over the top.

Humanity would be in the quadrillions, with at least 100 trillion guardsman. GW numbers are so bad

my bad, the “between my own ears version” of the text contained the numbers being gauged for the hive city/outskirts.

I’ve read somewhere that there are possibly quintillions of humans in the 40K Universe. If I could only remember where that source was…

You just remembered me of the mod that adds those Ogryn-compatible names to missions. I think I’ll install it now just for the laughs. :smile:

Where does an Ogryn sit? – Wherever he wants.

But not on my knees.

Unless you’re an Ogryn, too, you don’t have a voice in it. But I don’t think Ogryns have that kind of fine control anyway. They’ll just sit on you including your knees.

Things just seem to get worse.

  • Players sucking up ammo loot and denying other players. No problem for me as I only save heavy bolter for monstrosity only.

  • Lots of vets running autoguns and running away or purposely pulling crushers onto team mates to save themselves.

  • Medstation topping up when not even 50% or same players always taking damage and they are always first choice for med station every time denying other players every time. Saw one guy top up health 3 times from med station in 1 min.

  • Not using green stim for their team mates at low health, saving for themselves.

Thing about Auric I have to be in the zone i.e. certain evening time I won’t be disturbed and quiet surroundings and there is alot more courteous players in Auric by a mile. But sometimes I want to do a chill T5 normal and that’s where above problems exhibit more.

The concept of sharing is great. It is nice to do or give and get a thanks. But the lack of courtesy makes me think it might be better to replace current system and each player gets their own allocation of med/ammo and self manage independently. But I know that won’t happen.

One major problem remains; the games overall failure to communicate much of anything of significance to the player, whether it is what any of its plethora of terms mean or what each difficulty requires of you. None of this is made clear, so people feel like “if I can click the play button, it must be for me”.

Back in the day if I went down like 3-4 times in same mission I would dial back difficulty.

Maybe people want to just put themselves into pain on basis doing anything easier would lead to less improvement. Who knows.

But yea rending, brittleness etc. Almost like this game needs a FS website wiki.

God knows the amount of googling I had to do, fed misinformation, finding right information and no actual numbers in game to see effects.

Participating in Walking Giant event. As an Malice player, just transitioning to Heresy, i’m now FORCED by FOMO event to play Auric Heresy (which is effectively like Malice+2 difficulty), ruining games for me and other players. Brilliant idea!

It’s more like Malice + 3 to +5++, but yeah you’re right. They could have made it available to regular Damnation and that woulda been fine.
Edit: does Heresy Auric count? I keep forgetting that’s a thing.

Decided to look at the various tasks for this event. Then realising they’re identical.
