this. got one character to level 30 and stopped playing and most of it was a chore.. pointless game that no one ever asked for
and if they ever do a vermintide 3 it will be even worse, with more barebone game mechanics and 90% of the budget allocated to premium trash/skins/dances or whatever kids like these days
This and I don't know what the solution is. Enjoying the gameplay is all well and good but without some kind of long term meta-progression systems then what the frick is there to do after you've killed your 1 millionth cultist or demon? I can't believe I'm almost advocating for something like a battle pass or similar but seriously what the frick else is there that could give players a long term goal to grind for?
When has a horde shooter ever been anything great? Its the type of thing you throw into a game as extra content, not the focal point. Waste of the licenses as well.
>over a full month of radio silence and no updates from the developers
I wonder if they actually know how badly they fricked up? They surely don't care anyway since they already tricked so many dumb rubes out of their money.
they know, maybe a smattering of the devs care but the overarching company doesn't give a frick. they made their money already and they don't give a shit about who has to clean up their mess in their company, and they definitely don't give a shit about the "customers" who bought their subpar product
Game needed another year and all the content that they intended to drop in the first year to be just there on launch. Things like maps, bosses and classes are actually in the game, but they are not accessible because "epic live service drip feed content to keep people playing" but its backfired and there is now no interest in the game and everyone has moved on. the gameplay is good, and its a shame to see it mangled by everything around it to the point where even though its good gameplay, you cannot say its a good game or even recommend it. >there are less people playing this than VT2
Absoloute frickwits, who the frick thought it was a good idea to go on holiday for a whole month when the current state of the game is broken and lacking content, like they didnt even do a developer update or pathc or anything, they didnt even rotate the cash shop, they have just closed office for a whole month.
>take vermintide but downgrade it
i dont really get it vermintide 2 was fine so why not just copy everything from it. Instead we dont have a real crafting system, no acts from campaigns so its just a jumbeled mess corridor cleaner, getting spefic weapons takes too much rng from a rotating store, tons of performance issues, guns just randomly gain way too much recoil.
>i dont really get it vermintide 2 was fine so why not just copy everything from it.
Because they initially had plans for a bigger scope, but were unable to finish it either due to lack time or incompetence which is why a lot of the systems are just Vermintide but worse.
The store refreshing, combined with the missions, are meant to keep people on an endless treadmill.
The problem is that the treadmill only works if people are actually working towards something, and the store is so utterly dogshit that it can be days before you find something worth buying.
Couple that with an absolutely shameless cash shop, and you've got a recipe for resentment.
its hardly 'woke', now if you had said 'ugly' instead i would agree with you
what this anon said
i actually find it fricking hilarious when i see an ugly chick join because i know its some virgin homosexual who tried to re-create his waifu in the game but the characters are so fricking ugly you just can't
It gets boring fast

This. I tried all four classes, and by the time I got them each to around level 10, I was bored to tears and had no desire to touch the game anymore.

as it turns out, releasing too early because of investor pressure is really bad for your game

There are dips when it's under VT2's playercount (which is hilarious), but it hasn't quite dropped under VT2's average...yet
Fatshark.
2 more weeks until they make an announcement about a patch

How are the devs this stupid?
because fatshart wanted to make a live service game with the formula and failed miserably

the fact they couldnt even do a campaign is probably the saddest thing to me tbf

Wokeness
get a new schtick, no one cares about that in a create a character game
its hardly 'woke', now if you had said 'ugly' instead i would agree with you

it's so good, lol
you can tell who actually cares about WH40k and who is just a tourist based on whether they post this
lmao at the mistakes in your life that led to this moment of you posting this
The Fattest of Sharks went wrong, of course, and launched the game a year too early.
Every time I've tried playing the game I felt like I was close to having an out of body experience. Never felt that once when playing vermintide.
Shit takes like 20 mins to launch
It was great, I'm still playing it almost daily. It has problems but it's far from the flop the Black folk ITT are pretending it was.
it's fun the problem is there's no end game and i just dont ever wanna login and do shit anymore because there's nothing to fricking do
and no one is playing damnation other than trying to do stupiud penances
WH40K is ultra dumb.
so glad i got off and refunded while I still could. also it's on gamepass anyway
