Let me start out by saying I have had immense fun in Darktide so far, I have several hundred hours in VT2 and love the port to the 40k universe. As I am nearing 30 with my first character I am beginning to lose interest in playing more and I think it comes down to one single thing more than anything else: in the name of the God-Emperor gives us some post-match stats!
Yeah yeah yeah, “toxicity” and all that (I don’t believe it does contribute to that actually but that’s a different argument), but just give me my own stats even! I have absolutely no point of comparison from one raid to another. Did that switch to a chain sword over the hammer actually improve my DPS or did it just feel like that? Did it improve my DPS but at the cost of killing less elites? There was a really hard boss fight this time and I’m pretty sure I absolutely decimated him with my crits, wish there was a way to see that. My headshot accuracy was on point this match wow I’m pretty sure I killed 20+ specials. who knows though?
There is just no sense of self-improvement or something to work towards without that for me. This is the single largest improvement (and probably a pretty simple one I’m imagining) that I think will see a large uptick in hours played from many people.
Lastly, thank you FatShark, I believe you will continue to improve this game and I can’t see what it becomes. But please listen to the community on this one (I know I’m not the only one)
