The state of the game on Xbox is so rough right now. If you are playing at a high level on auric & havoc on Xbox it is a nightmare. Basically the confirmed disconnect and then rejoining with all your health lost is a new difficulty modifier by now.
My main issue is the broken audio.. the worst about this is, this has been bugged and patched before... I mean I was on the communion map at the bottom of the stairs before the last ascend to the final healing station and had a burster right behind the barricade in the middle of the door. Standing on the opposite side, the burster made absolutely no noise. This happens too on transition points from room to room while you look at the disruptor/disabler in a straight line... Makes zero sense. Pls do not recommend Spidey sense... I refuse
I'd like a spot on the Mourningstar for reading Zolas' journals, watching cinematics and even maybe lore about 40k itself. I guess just going on my PC does the job but still.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I really hope it gets fixed soon, try to hang in there, or maybe take a short break until it's fixed so you don't lose interest in the game.
I had this happen to me once where I got disconnected as soon as I got back in, and restarting my internet ONT (The device that receives the optic fiber) fixed it. Might not have anything to do with the issues on Xbox, probably Fatshark's amazing servers, but check this as it was driving me crazy a couple of months ago.
New subscriber here. I d/l darktide a year or two ago, played for a bit and never touched it. Since finding your channel and binging your content, I have fallen in love with this game and am now clearing havoc missions every session. I slogged through a lot of Darktide content before finding your channel, and I can say without a doubt - your darktide videos are the best out there. Thank you for all you do.
in terms of modes, If they give us Versus and an Rogue-lite like the one in Vermintide 2, something like an "go into the bowls of the underhive and find the artifacts that have been stolen by the Cult of Admonition" where you go through little missions, getting purity seals that give buffs to you or your weapons, leading to a BIG artifact in the end that you need to find so you can get something for you in reward for it.
I have a theory that the Darktide's "Chaos Wastes" mode will likely be exploratory expeditions to the other hive city. Either way, it needs this. I think Havoc and Operations are dead ends
@@Arkhestra You sort of get that with that one mission on the bridge where after you cross the bridge you need to hold the gatehouse while the heretics swarm in. Can't remember the name atm as I'm new.

@@tau-5794 For real. If Ogryns are going to continue to have bad massive hitboxes and wimpy dodges, they need to feel powerful somewhere else to make up for their weakness. Ogryns should be able to freely wade through chaff hordes with their superhuman size and strength.
@@xon0930 To add on an ogryn specific potential mechanic. Allow them to be able to do some sort of QuickTime event to break free of dogs or trapper nets. Again it doesn't mean they aren't affected by them, it just means they feel big and strong as they should without being op.

All they need to do is finish a single Maelstrom, not even Auric, and then they're just told to go play Havoc. Maybe ask them to complete 10 Auric Maelstroms first?

This is very relevant as I picked the game up during the Steam holiday sale and they really funnel you to Havoc as fast as possible and bro…just no. I am just a giant detriment to the team. I hit level 30, did my Maelstrom mission and I am not ready for that shit
Whatever metric they put in place it's entirely arbitrary. People see randoms in games with titles like ''Auric Survivor" and think oh he plays AURIC he must be SO GOOD i'll stick with him. But what does it actually mean at a bare minimum base level? It means a player was physically in a team that finished a few games. It doesn't necessarily entail they have any idea what they're doing or know how to play as a team. At the end of the day it's an achievement tag, a glorified girl scout badge and these things can be cheesed/piggybacked. Whatever requisites they put on Havoc people will be able to cheese their way in and still be god awful team players. If it's really, really stringent and excessive will it mitigate the issue slightly more? Yes almost certainly but then people will whine and cry about being gatekept out of final stages. Modern gaming progression isn't ever thought about in terms of I need to be good enough and comprehensive enough to play at X, Y and Z it's literally just if I put in enough arbitrary grind hours I am entitled to it regardless of my capabilities. It's quite pathetic really but it's how things have devolved unfortunately.
At 14:50 when you talk of why fatshark isn't making a solomode and regarding it. The answer for it is very simple, Darktide is a 4 play co-op game first and foremost and it is what the entire game is structured and designed around. That's the long and short of it more or less. Also here's the thing, if Fatshark then did really make solo mode into thing, it'd at best probably only appeal to a very small number of people like 1-3% of the entire DT playerbase, and regardless the people who this mode would appeal to are already playing it through mods, which are pretty easy to get into as long as you have a PC. Meaning financially there's not a whole lot of incentive to do so. Also if they did make solo mode a thing, Fatshark realistically would have to take solo mode into account every single time they make some sort of balance decisions regarding maps and gameplay, which would take up time and resources to do. Basically the entire thing might as well be a net negative Fatshark, so it is not surprising as to why they haven't done it.
They were so concerned with people using a cheap trick they were willing to hurt the play-ability and stability of Havoc. Honestly I just want it to be quick play, even with the option to find people the way people can act in a lobby can be a real downer. The limited attempts gives each game a sort of weight sure, and I don't think that needs to change, but it can also make people more toxic and pretentious.
Well I can't justify to pick the lv 12 players that inevitably apply for my Havoc team as they're simply not equipped for it or ready at all. That's not me being toxic or pretentious, I gladly carry players like that in normal game mode. But I just can't there. At the same time a lot of less experienced than me just see I don't have storm survivor because I haven't prioritized getting it and play with randoms mostly. So they don't want to join my Havoc games even on a cozy Havoc 16. I guess I'll just find some friends outside of the team thing to play some Havoc but that defeats the purpose of a team finder..
@@basedlegionary6877 Just because people don't want to play with you specifically doesn't mean that the entire game mode is fundamentally flawed. The matchmaking system for it is in party finder because havoc's mission modifiers are unique to each individual player's specific havoc assignment.
@@104FREDRICK I would Say Adeptus Mechanicus for the next class. Most of the assets are already in game. I would Gladly take some Eldar Melee classes, though.
My money is on them nerfing shout or adjusting it to make it not spammable and buffing infiltrate for the veteran…. They will most likely nerf the dueling sword which will make either devil claw or knife meta for havoc mode…. New gun for vet with be a pure sniper weapon and will work best as a crit weapon and pair well with the infiltrate buff, and they will add the melts gun for veteran and Ogryn… making Ogryn more havoc friendly for gun builds or a gun in general, and melts fun will overpower or compete with plasma gun
Melta should be a zealot weapon, plasma already basically fills its niche for the veteran, and it would be a more close ranged option which fits zealot's MO more. It's also one of the 3 holy weapons of the sororitas, along with the bolter, and flamer which is also a zealot exclusive.
@@eightbitlife4374 note this is speculation but i am very certian they will jus tmake it so shout vet doesnt offer gold toughness making holy relic more appealing for zealot players already... cause lets be honest imagine infiltration having access to gold toughness as well as exeuctioner stance........... which one you think be best?! Executioner stance woudl be best if it had access to some gold as free damage, no sway, free headshot damage as well as just free tankiness is just too strong its year 1 vet all over again... and invis gold will just make rush playstyles even worse (imagine the old months of shroud zealot but much worse ) if anything vets kit is just ment to be simple (simplicity is good but its not great ill admit) but again just looking at the track record for some changes im certian they will just gut gold toughness out of shout vet and make it a change to be either a quicker cooldown
I hope they fix the disconnecting issues with Xbox, I did my first havoc 40 yesterday, but I disconnected 3 times. This isn’t auric maelstrom where 3 players can handle missing a person for a bit, in havoc 40, EVERY player is needed at all times. I’m just glad we managed to beat it. I don’t know if this is an issue on PlayStation too, but if it is I hope they fix it there aswell.
the only thing they it needs is to fix the game breaking disconnects I and everyone else I play with has stopped playing because of it . recently it has started to take all your health in freeze rejoin waiting for respawn it's completely utterly unplayable with high havoc guaranteed at least 3 freeze disconnects
Ogryn is in a very weird place for me man😢 He my first class And I was very surprised to realized he was nerf last month, and I was even more surprised to realized that he is The least played class in the game. And in comparison to every other class, I can see why. Ogryn have very little robustness in its perk tree(you can either be a Shoota build or a Melee Bullgryn build😢). Less weapon than the other 3 classes. I get it. Ogryn is simple creature, but his lack of weapons and build robustness make Ogryn not a strong and slow guy but instead only a slow guy😢😢
Bad part of Ogryn for me is that he doesn’t have a way to instantly refill toughness outside of combat. He gets shredded by ranged attacks and if you don’t have a horde to heavy attack into or someone is killing the horde before you can get one of your slow hits out, they are actively stealing your main source of toughness regen and you just wind up eating a ton of damage. His taunt should really restore his toughness cause it’s honestly really bad otherwise.
Ogryn's keystones desperately need buffs. Feel No Pain and Burst Limiter Override are so painfully awful that using them feels no different to when you're using no keystone at all. Feel No Pain stacks should simply be doubled to 5%, and Burst Limiter Override should be 15% to 30% scaling inversely with magazine capacity instead of an abysmal 8% chance. Ogryn just feels so awful in melee without Heavy Hitter, and you're basically handicapping yourself if you don't take it.
Mission select will most likely not be included simply because they can pull a mission from queue whenever they want without living a gaping hole in mission selection screen. I'm sure like 90% of people don't even realized that Excise vault is missing. I play this game every day and I had to check which mission is that, because I forgot. From dev point of view this is super handy, to just pull a problematic map from the game and work on it without people seeing mission not being available.
Id love to see the Grimoires and Scriptures be a side objective on every map, like Vermintide. Also more bonus for collecting them, especially the Grimoires.
I recently started playing thanks to some friends and I'm having a blast, pretty hyped up for the upcoming updates but I still got so much to do, just recently got my first lvl 30 so I'm hoping I can manage damnation!
Maybe it's my skill issue or unlucky randoms, but I find Hab Dreyko to be one of the hardest missions. Got really surprised when you called it "on the easier side"
I've been discussing things I'd add to DT in the future, and the thing I want the most is having subclasses with it's own small skill branches. For example, Zealot would choose between Rager (extremely agressive dual wielding warrior, that fares in melee combat), or Purifier (paladin-esque tanky semi-dps with a hammer and shield). Veteran could be an extremely agile Gunslinger, using dual ranged weapons, or some kind of stealthy Sniper. Ogryn should be completely reworked, because his skill tree literally gives him two options - be a huge bulk of meat that dies in front of your Zealot, or a Gunlugger with little to no team value, sucking up all the ammo on the map
Had about 1400 hours of Vermintide 1&2 on pc and I’ve been playing darktide almost non stop for a year and a half now on Xbox, I’m taking a break in the hopes that in a month or 2 it’ll be a lot more stable on Xbox, the disconnected every game or 2 plus random crashes in the mourningstar are getting a bit much
In regards to "Some sort of story", I'd really love if they improved the intro and outro cutscenes for missions, make our rejects do more interesting things in them. For example, look up Killzone 3 multiplayer cinematics. Those are really what Darktide's mission cinematics should be. It doesn't seem like FatShark has any "cutscenes" group of developers and the mission cinematics being improved would be a great way for them to grow their company, by hiring more animation talent who can then do stuff for their next game as well.
Either a tech priest or an inquisitor class would be awesome. Or they could pull from Dark Heresy rpg and add the Scum or Assassin class. If they stay with Nurgle, they should add Plaguebearers.
New map idea: they should add another railroad mission that has two parallel trains running next to each other. It could be a pure shooting segment in where we hop from train to train until we find the main station where the hijacking takes place. There we can finally shut down their logistical advantage. Weapon ideas: Zealot gets a proper sword and shield with two unique patterns. MK I warden: unpowered sword with quick cleaving attacks unique ability activates the shield that gives it temp blocking stamina that stuns melee attackers. MK II paladin: has more strike downs and stabs and a powered sword like the relic blade. Veteran gets a braced hot-shot lasgun. One pattern gets a flashlight and the other a laser that increases hip fire accuracy. Ogryn gets a cleaver and brute shield and a maybe a multi laser or a ripper pistol. Psyker needs all the force swords and staffs reworked to be more unique and defined.
How about all these basic feature, most of which exist in Vermintide games, that you need a mod for? "Prefer [ insert ]" mods that remember what difficulty you last selected for the meat grinder or if map browser was on normal/auric, and for other such menus. Mod just to see ping or sacrifice a weapon for mastery straight from Brunt's armory instead of having to purchase, go different vendor, upgrade green then different sub menu to sacrifice. Numeric UI and killfeed tweaks, which both mods were incorporated into Vermintide 2 due to popular demand. Why not Darktide as well?
I'd love a weapon/ blessings balance overhaul, there are a few blessings like precog. that give way too much benefit for the activation condition and others like the perfect block blessings that have the opposite problem. I think they need to replace or at least heavily rework some blessings to open up build variety.
Did a party finder Havoc 40 last week with 1 other PC player and 2 Xbox players (all Havoc 40 rating) on Dark Communion. Going very smooth until we got a surprise wave at final Medicaid station with armor/ragers and triple flamers. Zealot got an epic clutch getting in the final elevator and saved the run. But 2-3 minutes after that clutch, when everyone was back up, the 2 Xbox players got kicked from the group and we couldn't finish that event as a duo. 47 minutes wasted.
I've always sensed there was a plan for a fifth class since you can make a fifth character, which is the strangest thing, who has actually made a fifth character? Why is it even in the game? There is a pretty fair selection to choose from too. I have liked the idea of a failed neophyte, it'd open up a lot of interesting character between our four rejects and the legion cultures. A tech priest character could work as well. Other abhuman subspecies. Who knows.
New classes or subclasses is the most needed content right now by far. We don't need new game modes that splits up the playerbase or flavor of the month game modes like Chaos Wastes that basically comes with FOMO penances that you have to sit there and do before player interest dries up. No, we need permanently present new content like new classes and new enemies.
I am finishing up my 3rd character and just learn about random rolls on weapons and was wondering why my damage sucks on magic had bad rolls on my staff. But now i just look at rolls now when buying weapons. I have max roll curio on 2 characters. So im getting there. I just need friends to play havoc .
Anyone having crazy performance issues? My game keeps dropping frames pretty hard at moments, its very aggrevating. My friend is having the same issue.
Fatshark will take 9 months off in 2025, work for 1 month, give us 1 new weapon only for the hummies, nerf Ogryn for no reason and give us 1 map in total
@kingstoncapone7 i had a lot of problems with the game TBH, idk how but playing it on cloud trough xbox one feels way better... They clearly messed up something to the roots here. Lets hope they will update vermintide 2, they keep forgetting it exist on console
New operations sounds good. I really hope FS manages to find and fix the Xbox issues. Quickplay on Havoc up to 20 is a good idea. Yes, I do hope Ogryns get a rework. I understand why they moved things in their skill tree to fit thematically but it also weakened the class as it forces players to pick junk nodes and waste skill points on ineffective nodes. Either make those nodes effective or just remove them. New class / new enemy faction - I so hope for this but if it's brewing then it's got to be a ways off from now or we'd be hearing about it. Or would we?... Something I'd want is more cosmetics that look like proper Games Workshop minis. So maybe not Solar Auxilia but catachan weapons are already there, give us some skins that are tank tops and add muscle bulk to veterans to really look the part. Zealots can already look the closest to the Ministorum priests (some cosmetics are actually spot-on), but the long robes of most GW priests and Cawdor redemptionists aren't used. Give is some of those unless it's not possible with how the game characters move. Zealot players looking like proper priests and redemptionists would be so cool though. On that note add a spear/ glaive as a veteran weapon as there's an inqusitorial retinue mini that uses one. Give us the ability to dress up and equip to play like that guy. :) Same with Ogryn, we can build a bullgryn that looks the part which is cool, but give us more of true GW model cosmetics. I get it, Sisters of Battle Armor may not be ok to put on rejects but a lot of other things should be.
I hate how all the big updates of 2024 came in the last half of the year. Id like one every quarter personally. Edit: i know they did an Ogryn "update" by moving around some skills. Thats the most that ive seen. Edit 2: I wish the skill tree wasnt just fluff, its chock full of increase toughness, regen, health etc. I think there should be a dedicated perk for those that increase it by a good margin, and just be actual talents. I liked the old skill tree but it definitely would not survive the current form of Darktide in how limited it was. Even Vermintide 2s is better.
@@underidoderidoderiododerid2001I mean all of the 4th careers for vermintide cost money, as well as weapon packs costing money. So far we've gotten new weapons for free, that may change.
@rangerdanger572 tbh vermintide 2 offers far greater variety to classes 5 characters with 4 carriers for each. That is basically 20 classes to toy around. Darktide offers 4 characters with 3 keystones each. It gives much better flexibility within the class, but not like absolutely new experience.
@дмитрогаркавченко-е6т 3 carriers for each, for a person not buying the upgraded carriers that are far better than the base ones.. so there's really just one carrier for each
I had to stop playing darktide because of the crashes. I'm on Xbox so it was for sure going to happen once or twice when a bunch of shit spawns in especially on higher difficulties
Hopefully they will improve the performance of the game, especially on console, it is litterly the only game that runs bad on mine, not lower difficulties, but higher, and it's bad, it is so bad that i cannot play the higher difficulties because the game will Freeze up and i will die, and what also does not help is players denying these problems, i geus i love the game then them and what the game to be at it's best, and for that it needs better performance.
will they ever fix performance? i feeel like everyone has give up on it at this time and just is ok with it... it runs smooth but man u have to turn settings down and resolution in comparison to other games...
i try not to have expectations from fatshark. they give radio silence about things till just before they release them then release them in a buggy state and leaves it like that for weeks if not months. they make good games and updates for them but manage them very poorly
Difficulty levels need to be gatekept a little bit. I'm relatively new at the game, not even hundred hours in, but I'm quite capable of holding myself even at Maelstrom 5 (not auric one).. but even then I don't go there, if my character isn't at least level 30 (I have TrueLvl installed). I usually stick to someting chill like Low intensity Damnation, but holy hell it's difficult to find normal teammates. I'm fucking TIRED of lvl 19 Ogryns ruining my games!! go play at Uprising or whatever untill you get stronger

Best thing you can do is save up for a decent computer.
Honestly they really need to fix their bugs and server issues. I would rather have those first than anymore features.

Love your videos Mr. E! It was a pleasure playing with you yesterday. Thanks for the carry from Mr. Epicgoldguy 😂.
They were so concerned with people using a cheap trick they were willing to hurt the play-ability and stability of Havoc. Honestly I just want it to be quick play, even with the option to find people the way people can act in a lobby can be a real downer. The limited attempts gives each game a sort of weight sure, and I don't think that needs to change, but it can also make people more toxic and pretentious.
Well I can't justify to pick the lv 12 players that inevitably apply for my Havoc team as they're simply not equipped for it or ready at all.
That's not me being toxic or pretentious, I gladly carry players like that in normal game mode. But I just can't there.
At the same time a lot of less experienced than me just see I don't have storm survivor because I haven't prioritized getting it and play with randoms mostly.
So they don't want to join my Havoc games even on a cozy Havoc 16.
I guess I'll just find some friends outside of the team thing to play some Havoc but that defeats the purpose of a team finder..
I want it to be removed and replaced, there is no fixing nor future for havoc, it's a gamemode that's fundemantally flawed
@@basedlegionary6877 Just because people don't want to play with you specifically doesn't mean that the entire game mode is fundamentally flawed. The matchmaking system for it is in party finder because havoc's mission modifiers are unique to each individual player's specific havoc assignment.
I'm still just hoping they surprise us with a new class some time this year.
I will die on a hill that the shadow guy introduced is an Eldar and will be tied to new class
@@104FREDRICK I would Say Adeptus Mechanicus for the next class. Most of the assets are already in game.
I would Gladly take some Eldar Melee classes, though.
My money is on them nerfing shout or adjusting it to make it not spammable and buffing infiltrate for the veteran…. They will most likely nerf the dueling sword which will make either devil claw or knife meta for havoc mode…. New gun for vet with be a pure sniper weapon and will work best as a crit weapon and pair well with the infiltrate buff, and they will add the melts gun for veteran and Ogryn… making Ogryn more havoc friendly for gun builds or a gun in general, and melts fun will overpower or compete with plasma gun
Instead of nerfing just buff others ds is far better with dmg and animation then knife
Melta should be a zealot weapon, plasma already basically fills its niche for the veteran, and it would be a more close ranged option which fits zealot's MO more. It's also one of the 3 holy weapons of the sororitas, along with the bolter, and flamer which is also a zealot exclusive.
@@eightbitlife4374 note this is speculation but i am very certian they will jus tmake it so shout vet doesnt offer gold toughness making holy relic more appealing for zealot players already... cause lets be honest imagine infiltration having access to gold toughness as well as exeuctioner stance........... which one you think be best?! Executioner stance woudl be best if it had access to some gold as free damage, no sway, free headshot damage as well as just free tankiness is just too strong its year 1 vet all over again... and invis gold will just make rush playstyles even worse (imagine the old months of shroud zealot but much worse ) if anything vets kit is just ment to be simple (simplicity is good but its not great ill admit) but again just looking at the track record for some changes im certian they will just gut gold toughness out of shout vet and make it a change to be either a quicker cooldown
Oddly enough I'm on Xbox and the game runs pretty well, it's really rare that I'll get disconnected
Same here as a PS user
Map environment variety. Darktide feels incredibly dull (despite being drop dead gorgeous) compared to Vermintide 2 as far as environments go
I hope they fix the disconnecting issues with Xbox, I did my first havoc 40 yesterday, but I disconnected 3 times. This isn’t auric maelstrom where 3 players can handle missing a person for a bit, in havoc 40, EVERY player is needed at all times. I’m just glad we managed to beat it. I don’t know if this is an issue on PlayStation too, but if it is I hope they fix it there aswell.
the only thing they it needs is to fix the game breaking disconnects I and everyone else I play with has stopped playing because of it .
recently it has started to take all your health in freeze rejoin waiting for respawn it's completely utterly unplayable with high havoc guaranteed at least 3 freeze disconnects
Ogryn is in a very weird place for me man😢 He my first class And I was very surprised to realized he was nerf last month, and I was even more surprised to realized that he is The least played class in the game. And in comparison to every other class, I can see why. Ogryn have very little robustness in its perk tree(you can either be a Shoota build or a Melee Bullgryn build😢). Less weapon than the other 3 classes.
I get it. Ogryn is simple creature, but his lack of weapons and build robustness make Ogryn not a strong and slow guy but instead only a slow guy😢😢
Bad part of Ogryn for me is that he doesn’t have a way to instantly refill toughness outside of combat. He gets shredded by ranged attacks and if you don’t have a horde to heavy attack into or someone is killing the horde before you can get one of your slow hits out, they are actively stealing your main source of toughness regen and you just wind up eating a ton of damage. His taunt should really restore his toughness cause it’s honestly really bad otherwise.
Getting absolutely slaughtered by gunners and trappers in havoc is pretty brutal as ogryn
Ogryn's keystones desperately need buffs. Feel No Pain and Burst Limiter Override are so painfully awful that using them feels no different to when you're using no keystone at all.
Feel No Pain stacks should simply be doubled to 5%, and Burst Limiter Override should be 15% to 30% scaling inversely with magazine capacity instead of an abysmal 8% chance. Ogryn just feels so awful in melee without Heavy Hitter, and you're basically handicapping yourself if you don't take it.
@@zacarymartinez6649Brace your gun with the steady grip talent.
@@CombatMedic1O That's why I always have atleast 2 Resistance to gunners effect on two different curios as Ogryn. For almost any build.
If all we get this year is the sound fixed, I'd be happy.
Mission select will most likely not be included simply because they can pull a mission from queue whenever they want without living a gaping hole in mission selection screen. I'm sure like 90% of people don't even realized that Excise vault is missing. I play this game every day and I had to check which mission is that, because I forgot. From dev point of view this is super handy, to just pull a problematic map from the game and work on it without people seeing mission not being available.
What they'll do? Pobably nerf the ogryn and buff the zealot or something XD
Id love to see the Grimoires and Scriptures be a side objective on every map, like Vermintide. Also more bonus for collecting them, especially the Grimoires.
I recently started playing thanks to some friends and I'm having a blast, pretty hyped up for the upcoming updates but I still got so much to do, just recently got my first lvl 30 so I'm hoping I can manage damnation!
Maybe it's my skill issue or unlucky randoms, but I find Hab Dreyko to be one of the hardest missions. Got really surprised when you called it "on the easier side"
I've been discussing things I'd add to DT in the future, and the thing I want the most is having subclasses with it's own small skill branches. For example, Zealot would choose between Rager (extremely agressive dual wielding warrior, that fares in melee combat), or Purifier (paladin-esque tanky semi-dps with a hammer and shield). Veteran could be an extremely agile Gunslinger, using dual ranged weapons, or some kind of stealthy Sniper. Ogryn should be completely reworked, because his skill tree literally gives him two options - be a huge bulk of meat that dies in front of your Zealot, or a Gunlugger with little to no team value, sucking up all the ammo on the map
I'm more surprised we haven't gotten any Paid DLC.
You left out the most important thing. We MUST meet Quartermaster Brunt.
Had about 1400 hours of Vermintide 1&2 on pc and I’ve been playing darktide almost non stop for a year and a half now on Xbox, I’m taking a break in the hopes that in a month or 2 it’ll be a lot more stable on Xbox, the disconnected every game or 2 plus random crashes in the mourningstar are getting a bit much
The Server Error issue on XBOX is soooo bad. Glad to know its not just my setup
The game is getting better and better ❤ playing for couple of years... tried it once and never stopped 😮
Solo mode will only come out when the playerbase starts to die off
In regards to "Some sort of story", I'd really love if they improved the intro and outro cutscenes for missions, make our rejects do more interesting things in them. For example, look up Killzone 3 multiplayer cinematics. Those are really what Darktide's mission cinematics should be. It doesn't seem like FatShark has any "cutscenes" group of developers and the mission cinematics being improved would be a great way for them to grow their company, by hiring more animation talent who can then do stuff for their next game as well.
Either a tech priest or an inquisitor class would be awesome. Or they could pull from Dark Heresy rpg and add the Scum or Assassin class.
If they stay with Nurgle, they should add Plaguebearers.
New map idea: they should add another railroad mission that has two parallel trains running next to each other. It could be a pure shooting segment in where we hop from train to train until we find the main station where the hijacking takes place. There we can finally shut down their logistical advantage.
Weapon ideas:
Zealot gets a proper sword and shield with two unique patterns.
MK I warden: unpowered sword with quick cleaving attacks unique ability activates the shield that gives it temp blocking stamina that stuns melee attackers.
MK II paladin: has more strike downs and stabs and a powered sword like the relic blade.
Veteran gets a braced hot-shot lasgun. One pattern gets a flashlight and the other a laser that increases hip fire accuracy.
Ogryn gets a cleaver and brute shield and a maybe a multi laser or a ripper pistol.
Psyker needs all the force swords and staffs reworked to be more unique and defined.
Give the shield a electrical bash or a built in flashbang!
How about all these basic feature, most of which exist in Vermintide games, that you need a mod for?
"Prefer [ insert ]" mods that remember what difficulty you last selected for the meat grinder or if map browser was on normal/auric, and for other such menus.
Mod just to see ping or sacrifice a weapon for mastery straight from Brunt's armory instead of having to purchase, go different vendor, upgrade green then different sub menu to sacrifice.
Numeric UI and killfeed tweaks, which both mods were incorporated into Vermintide 2 due to popular demand. Why not Darktide as well?
I'd love a weapon/ blessings balance overhaul, there are a few blessings like precog. that give way too much benefit for the activation condition and others like the perfect block blessings that have the opposite problem. I think they need to replace or at least heavily rework some blessings to open up build variety.
My biggest issue is we need more players. It's hard to get parties for havoc past rank 25.
If you change your server from the main terminal you can actually find a lot of people. I had to do this constantly before I hit rank 40
As long as the error codes get fixed asap I'll be happy
Great suggestions,, but they make too much sense lol We're used to getting updates that don't make sense...
Did a party finder Havoc 40 last week with 1 other PC player and 2 Xbox players (all Havoc 40 rating) on Dark Communion.
Going very smooth until we got a surprise wave at final Medicaid station with armor/ragers and triple flamers. Zealot got an epic clutch getting in the final elevator and saved the run.
But 2-3 minutes after that clutch, when everyone was back up, the 2 Xbox players got kicked from the group and we couldn't finish that event as a duo. 47 minutes wasted.
I want really hard challenges, that will add extra skillpoints as rewards.
Bring back excise vault, currently can’t complete skulls because of this .
Add power fist , give lightning claw for ogryn .
I've always sensed there was a plan for a fifth class since you can make a fifth character, which is the strangest thing, who has actually made a fifth character? Why is it even in the game? There is a pretty fair selection to choose from too. I have liked the idea of a failed neophyte, it'd open up a lot of interesting character between our four rejects and the legion cultures. A tech priest character could work as well. Other abhuman subspecies. Who knows.
New classes or subclasses is the most needed content right now by far. We don't need new game modes that splits up the playerbase or flavor of the month game modes like Chaos Wastes that basically comes with FOMO penances that you have to sit there and do before player interest dries up. No, we need permanently present new content like new classes and new enemies.
We need 2 things before new contrnt.
Massive bug fixes and performance improvements
Weapon and class balance overhaul
I am finishing up my 3rd character and just learn about random rolls on weapons and was wondering why my damage sucks on magic had bad rolls on my staff. But now i just look at rolls now when buying weapons. I have max roll curio on 2 characters. So im getting there. I just need friends to play havoc .
Why do i hear "hotfix" and "two weeks" in the same sentence? I always thought that hotfix is something that deploys in 0-2 days...
Obligatory: “Mechanicus class when?”
Melee additions: Arc maul, taser goad, transonic blades, chordclaw, electroleech staff, power axe, etc
Ranged additions: Radium weapons, arc weapons, galvanic weapons, flechette weapons, stubcarbine, plasma caliver, electrostatic gauntlets, etc
Grenades: Rad-Grenades, Arc Grenades, Mindscrambler Grenades
Anyone having crazy performance issues? My game keeps dropping frames pretty hard at moments, its very aggrevating. My friend is having the same issue.
hopefully they fix the psychic assault pose for psyker
Well, assuming they dont add a single map with a patch that breaks the game they'll be doing better than the other Warhammer game
Other than disconnect fixes
I want to see power fist
I just want the Ogryn to be fixed/buffed, and a Hellgun for 2025.
8:06 quickplay. Wasting my time with the party finder makes me want to quit havoc instantly. It has turned the game into a chore.
You can change your server from the main terminal and it makes a lot more people pop up with party finder
Fatshark will take 9 months off in 2025, work for 1 month, give us 1 new weapon only for the hummies, nerf Ogryn for no reason and give us 1 map in total
PS5 Ogryn main,
Ogryn needs some love
1. Hoarde Mode
2. Now that Amazon owns Warhammer franchise who knows where it will go.
They have the rights to produce warhammer media content. They do not own warhammer
I know that seemed very UM ACTUALLY but it was less a correction for you and more of me making sure nobody reads that and freaks lol
Oh that’s good thanks for clarifying.
I just want the game to function. It’s been 10 months of the game basically being unplayable.
I love how they sell their games on console wout actually updating them...Making them at least playable!
But hey, the shop ALWAYS WORKS.
I luckily didn’t have issues with getting dropped until after reaching rank 40. Otherwise I would probably not play havoc till it was fixed
@kingstoncapone7 i had a lot of problems with the game TBH, idk how but playing it on cloud trough xbox one feels way better...
They clearly messed up something to the roots here.
Lets hope they will update vermintide 2, they keep forgetting it exist on console
I just want excise vault back.
New operations sounds good.
I really hope FS manages to find and fix the Xbox issues.
Quickplay on Havoc up to 20 is a good idea.
Yes, I do hope Ogryns get a rework.
I understand why they moved things in their skill tree to fit thematically but it also weakened the class as it forces players to pick junk nodes and waste skill points on ineffective nodes.
Either make those nodes effective or just remove them.
New class / new enemy faction - I so hope for this but if it's brewing then it's got to be a ways off from now or we'd be hearing about it. Or would we?...
Something I'd want is more cosmetics that look like proper Games Workshop minis.
So maybe not Solar Auxilia but catachan weapons are already there, give us some skins that are tank tops and add muscle bulk to veterans to really look the part.
Zealots can already look the closest to the Ministorum priests (some cosmetics are actually spot-on), but the long robes of most GW priests and Cawdor redemptionists aren't used.
Give is some of those unless it's not possible with how the game characters move. Zealot players looking like proper priests and redemptionists would be so cool though.
On that note add a spear/ glaive as a veteran weapon as there's an inqusitorial retinue mini that uses one. Give us the ability to dress up and equip to play like that guy. :)
Same with Ogryn, we can build a bullgryn that looks the part which is cool, but give us more of true GW model cosmetics.
I get it, Sisters of Battle Armor may not be ok to put on rejects but a lot of other things should be.
They will nerf ogryns
😠😡😤
I just want ogryn to be able to trample through chaff mobs. Slayer Bardin could do that in VT2 and he was half their fucking size.
17:40 D&D character voice. 😮😮😮
They need fix everything before they add new stuff.give the ogryn a two handed hammer or something similar to his size.
How about last man standing sort of mode with 2 or more teams competing. Dous would be cool too
I hate how all the big updates of 2024 came in the last half of the year. Id like one every quarter personally.
Edit: i know they did an Ogryn "update" by moving around some skills. Thats the most that ive seen.
Edit 2: I wish the skill tree wasnt just fluff, its chock full of increase toughness, regen, health etc. I think there should be a dedicated perk for those that increase it by a good margin, and just be actual talents. I liked the old skill tree but it definitely would not survive the current form of Darktide in how limited it was. Even Vermintide 2s is better.
Chaos wastes is goated
>What's coming up for Darktide in 2025?
A lot of disappointment
Don’t be so pessimistic (you’re probably right)
New class please.
I highly doubt that
@@clevergoblin1714Same. And once they bring it it'll likely cost real money and we only got 4 classes with the game.
@@underidoderidoderiododerid2001I mean all of the 4th careers for vermintide cost money, as well as weapon packs costing money.
So far we've gotten new weapons for free, that may change.
@rangerdanger572 tbh vermintide 2 offers far greater variety to classes
5 characters with 4 carriers for each. That is basically 20 classes to toy around. Darktide offers 4 characters with 3 keystones each. It gives much better flexibility within the class, but not like absolutely new experience.
@дмитрогаркавченко-е6т 3 carriers for each, for a person not buying the upgraded carriers that are far better than the base ones.. so there's really just one carrier for each
Dont know about anyone else but since Christmas its been unplayable on xbox. Haven't dropped frames like this in the past year
Give me new enemy types, like how vermintide did with the beast men
ANOTHER 20 MILLION TO VERMINTIDE
Buff shotguns first priority
Fix the instability on xb and ill be happy with that tbh
I had to stop playing darktide because of the crashes. I'm on Xbox so it was for sure going to happen once or twice when a bunch of shit spawns in especially on higher difficulties
Fix server issues and bugs... then freaking add a new class! Why do we have 5 character slots, but 4 classes?
W DRG music 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully they will improve the performance of the game, especially on console, it is litterly the only game that runs bad on mine, not lower difficulties, but higher, and it's bad, it is so bad that i cannot play the higher difficulties because the game will Freeze up and i will die, and what also does not help is players denying these problems, i geus i love the game then them and what the game to be at it's best, and for that it needs better performance.
Servers need to improve!
will they ever fix performance? i feeel like everyone has give up on it at this time and just is ok with it... it runs smooth but man u have to turn settings down and resolution in comparison to other games...
Ratling sniper class plz
GENESTEALERS!!!
i would love a fifth class
BOSS RUSH MODE
i try not to have expectations from fatshark. they give radio silence about things till just before they release them then release them in a buggy state and leaves it like that for weeks if not months. they make good games and updates for them but manage them very poorly
Havoc and Operations are dead ends
Dark souls lore more like destiny 1 lore lol
Difficulty levels need to be gatekept a little bit. I'm relatively new at the game, not even hundred hours in, but I'm quite capable of holding myself even at Maelstrom 5 (not auric one).. but even then I don't go there, if my character isn't at least level 30 (I have TrueLvl installed). I usually stick to someting chill like Low intensity Damnation, but holy hell it's difficult to find normal teammates. I'm fucking TIRED of lvl 19 Ogryns ruining my games!! go play at Uprising or whatever untill you get stronger
The answer is not enough and too little lmao
Probably nothing or 2 new skins
the thing that blew my mind the most is the fact your up at 10 past 9. are you sure your not some sort of heretic? sounds super suspicious to me.
