so darktide just got a huge free update. what do you think of it so far?
>>748879847is the game good yet?
Have they added singleplayer and removed all microtransactions yet or is it still live service freemium slop?
>>748879867i'm enjoying nu-ogryn a lot>>748879896no single playerstill microtransactionsthey do have leaderboards now though
>>748879847I don't play much Danktide. I have it on an HDD, so it takes ages to load into the first match. It's perfectly fine after that first loading, but it just rubs me the wrong way.That, and it seems like there's no way to create a steam:// lobby link for it, since you can't seem to make an invitable party without someone else, so that also grates my ass
lol why would you specify 'free' update
>>748880416I sometimes have the urge to play it but when I see that it's 100GB that urge drains quickly.
Hive scum is still insanely OP
>>748879847Every time I log onto this game they've reset all my skill trees and I need to remake that shit from scratch on like 20 loadouts I'm fucking tired of it
Shit then, shit now, forever shit. I want my monry back. Fuck you darktide
>>748879847Did they remove xbox players yet?
>>748880416I have it on an NVME SSD and it's still slow to load.
>>748879847veteran is good nowzealot is still basically useless unless you're running a full greed damage build and they killed relic bladepsyker somehow got strongerogryn somehow got strongernew map is good but new boss has dogshit floor indicators that are too hard to see and is basically unbeatable in high havoc because of the elite spam during that phase
>>748880497Just use the free tier of GeForce now
>>748880571Same. It's just shittily optimized
>>748879847im waiting for the modders to update their shitalso they killed the animation cancel on the fire staff and some other weapons, fucking niggers
>>748880638I'd love to know what it's doing when you boot up the game and load into the ship.it's crazy to me that takes longer to load than the levels do, it's gotta be preloading all the levels or something.
>>748882926this happens to be something I knowevery time you boot up the game, it's loading you into a shitty server that hosts a mourningstar instance with a bunch of other random bums with dogshit connections. it does this every time you return to the lobby after a game or try to change characters.if you use the solomourningstar mod, you don't have to connect to anything and the game just throws you back into the mourningstar after a game near instantly. If you use the instanthub mod to preload the mourningstar/psykhanium along with that then it is ACTUALLY instant, and you can also change characters with no loading
>>748883405man I wonder why they do it that way, because im pretty sure there's no collisions with other players or anything so there's literally no real state that 100% needs to be synced between instances.they could just load you in single player and have other players load in lazily.wild
>>748883518it is 100% a jew shareholder thing so that you are forced to be exposed to more player models wearing paid cosmetics and idiots mouthing off in public chats for engagement numbers
>>748879847Breddy gud. People bitch about the piss toughness nerf but it doesn't seem like it's nerfed that much. Classes get like 2-3 extra talent points without tax nodes too. Zealot feels great and the vet talent changes are cool. They're much more freeform
>>748879847Is there finally something to do in the game or it's still "collect plasteel and diamantine so you can roll more useless shit on your god roll weapons"
>Game runs like a power point presentationImagine if they optimized the game to work on consoles and mid range PC’s in a playable state. Now that would’ve been an update.
>still none of the simple as fuck QOL shit from VT2 like actual solo private mode and bots using your other characters gears and build>or the basic ass lobby browser
>>748879847>one new map is considered a "huge" update
>still no two handed chainaxe for my zealotit's shit
>>748879847What did they add?
>>7488840833 "new" mapsexcept two of them are already the same maps from before just different "mission lore" lmaoa new boss thats pretty much the same as the wizard bosses from ratclick, ie teleports around the arena and chucks spells at you.
>>748879934>i'm enjoying nu-ogryn a lotWhat changed? Besides the change from not having a skill tree to now having ranged options etc., I'm assuming you mean more nu-ness than that
I'm thinking it's time to uninstall. Every time I go back to this shitheap I'm quickly reminded why I regularly stop playing. It's my most played game on steam but I genuinely hate it and the retarded piece of shit developers. The fact that a handful of weapon reskins is considered a "big update" is fucking pathetic.
>>748884380>It's my most played game on steamYou're either absolutely enraptured or obsessed or too young to post here
>>748883754its why i don't play it
You'd think being a 40k game and having a whole planet as their battlefield they'd have a lot more variety on locations compared to VT1/2 where you're stuck in one town but these lazy and greedy fucks just end up reusing the fucking maps anyway, like 40k fans wouldn't pay them more money compared to warhammer fantasy fans. maps like vigil station and silo cluster where they drop you into opposite ends of the same map for no reason, so you have to take the elevator down in one map and in the other you go up, all just to reach the same area you started on the other map.then there's even two missions where you start in the same fucking sewers and go through almost the same map and end with a boss fight (the twins mission and oubliette one)
>>748880416>i have a game on an ssd>this causes exactly the problems you would expect to arise from such a bad decision>now i'm madRetard.
>>748885128Hive Worlds have two environments: a desert outside the hives and a maze of steel hallways inside the hive anything else would be not be keeping with what a Hive World is
>>748880584>zealot>uselessZealot has been the strongest class in the game since the first skill tree update
>>748887724Upper Hive? The orbital stations? Space elevators? The really, really deep foundations?
>>748880598Silence, shill.
>>748887979>twoshots you're monster>knocks ur monster off ledges with a buttonnothing personnell, balance
>>748887724that still doesn't excuse reusing the same maps for multiple missions out of laziness/greed when you supposedly have an entire planet worth of different steel hallwaysfucking space marine 2 is also a 40k co-op horde game and they don't completely copypaste maps like darktide does
>>748879896The mtx are for cosmetics only.Singleplayer is a meme and the game is currently unbalanced for it, for the records I've been a solo player since the beginning, joining random games and carrying shitters is fun.
>>748884746NTA but it's becoming my third most played game atm, it's not difficult to see how it might be an outlier for people who generally don't stick with a single game for so long.
>>748880416>>748880571Download a mod called Psych Ward. It allows you to interact with everything through the main menu. No more loading onto the ship or running to buy a weapon. You may have to wait a few days for it to update. I have 700 hours and could not imagine myself playing that long if I had to deal with all of the loading and running around. With Psych Ward you select your character and click play.
>want to play, can run it>game is such an unoptimizted, buggy, bloated piece of shitI can't bring myself to do it, not even if it was free. Until the industry pulls its head out of its collective ass I'll just play older games that, despite also being buggy, run better and are more enjoyable.
>main zealot until skitarii came out>everyone was saying “Zealots fixed” with this update>play zealot for the first time in months>can’t find anything different while playing zSo what ACTUALLY changed? A new map and a copy/paste boss from VT2 ain’t enough for me to recommend this game to other people.
>>748890423It's more a question of not being dependent upon a central service just to continue playing the game.DRG isn't built for solo - bosko is a meme - but at least if the devs go belly up the game still exists.I have about a dozen games on wishlists that will remain there until some sort of offline mode exists.Fortunately, with the trajectory of AI literally every single game will have offline modes in 2027.
>new boss is just the fat fuck from Castle Drachenfels>but like >>748880584 said they made the floor indicators shittier
>>748893419Just reading the name hit me with 500T of PTSD for Lohner voicelines about "dat bizniss in Castle Brappensmells....."
>>748880584What you mean Zealot is uselss. I only started playing a few weeks ago but Zealot with relic blade and crusader build is pretty busted. That said I'm not on havoc 40 yet
>>748887979>>748894779He might be on to something dude it'd explain why they keep dropping the ball on my H40s
When's the optimization update?Fix your game, lazy fucking swedes.
i just boughted it, i have played ratclick 2 a couple of years agoi want to play zealot with big hammer and shotgun, what are the blessings i should use?
>>748895013How do you get that, do you have to download a mod or something, I have no scoreboard after my games
>>748895271click tab at the end of a match, its part of the new update but there was a mod for it before the update
would come back and grind the game if they dropped red rarity
>>748895271It's a mod, Ovenproof plus the plugin patch>>748895382The new in-game scoreboard is rubbish, it doesn't include anyone elses scores because Fatshark are still total pussies - and even if it did it only shows up at the END of the game, making it totally useless for adjusting your strategy (which is ultimately the only practical use for the thing)
>>748895645>it doesn't include anyone elses scores because Fatshark are still total pussiesYou probably shouldn't be playing cooperative games if you wanna berate or lord over your teammates
>>748896116bro come on you aren't going to win a reddit gold here you dont need to speak like thatI don't really shittalk my team but at best it's good to know who to prioritise defending or giving stimms to and, at worst, who isn't worth risking your own life trying to do a risky revive.
>>748896495>bro come on you aren't going to win a reddit gold here you dont need to speak like thatYeah, that's about the measure of a reply I was expecting from someone who obviously just wants to shittalk their teammates.
>>748880568>did they remove the most loyal playerbaselmao Xbox users giving the game a second wind so long after launch is the only reason it's still getting updates
>>748896687>Yeah, that's about the measure of a reply I was expectingshut up dork
>>748896687Holy shit go back moralfag
>>748896116what is it with vermin/darktide players and being complete pussies when it comes to scoreboards?almost every horde/pve/coop game I've played has them from the earliest ones like l4d/cod zombies to newer ones like drg and helldivers, and not once have I encountered some little bitch moaning about scores or the community complaining that showing the scores causes "toxicity" aside from these fatshark games.
>>748899468>what is it with vermin/darktide players and being complete pussies when it comes to scoreboards?But, they're not. No 'Tide player is ever bothered by the inclusion of scoreboards or whatever. No one says that showing the scores causes toxicity either. It's a completely neutral element either way.It's just that if you're actively whining about not having the scoreboard, tossing insults in along the way, then everyone knows who and what you are. They never have an issue with the scoreboard. They have an issue with you being a fag, lol. You, personally. Not that getting the scoreboard would make you a fag, but that you, anon, are a fag already and are making that fact clear to everyone with the way you act.
>>748879847Tranny game
>>748899774>reddit spacing faggotironic considering those fag devs listen to their reddit community more than they do their official forums and most of them have been moaning about scoreboards being toxic but keep coping and projecting lol
>big update>one mission
>>748879847I dont know if I enjoy the new weapons or not because I havent used them enough. I hate the leveling system so much
>>748880494It would not be surprising if the Swedes charged for it.
>>748900082>reddit spacing faggotTrying too hard to fit in also falls into the whole aforementioned>then everyone knows who and what you are.thing
>>748900809why did you stop the spacing redditor? trying to fit in?
>>748901048You don't use spacing when you're not using paragraphs, you illiterate tourist.
>>748901048dumb newfag
>>748879847Still no solo with bots.
>>748896687>i dont want to shit talk my team mates>"OH SO YOU WANT TO SHIT TALK YOUR TEAMMATES?!"fuck off retard
>>748901167>touristdo i fit in yet guys
