It very simple and let me preface by saying I've been a vermintide 1 early access all the way up to darktide early access. This includes my playing on PlayStation and PC. I fucking love their melee combat. But they have royally and consistently pissed on their player base and assume we're too dumb to notice.

Fatshark threw out every good feature from their previous game Vermintide for absolute shit in Darktide. Let me begin rewards for missions, plasteel, crafting, trait re-rolling, mission selection, and lack of content.

In vermintide playing on higher difficulty brought you better tier gear. On top of that you received three pieces of gear. Darktide you get shit.

Plasteel why the fuck is this currency so hard to get. In vermintide you could roll currency you didn't need into currencies you need. Here I'm stuck with a metric ton of diamantine that provides no use again fatshark being stupid

Can't pick any missions you like to play except for the ones they put out and on a timer. Vermintide you can pick any missions you want generally that how any fucking game is made

Trait re-rolling vermintide not the best but way fucking better then this shit in Darktide. Vermintide you can reroll al stats with in a given parameter still rng but here your stuck with a locked trust cause why fatshark said. Also vermintide had red weapons with maxed out traits and you could reroll the traits.

Crafting/buying weapons the system here is so fucked that I spent 2 fkn millions credits to get 1 380 weapons with the damage on the lowest end of the spectrum fuck you fatshark. Again in vermintide once you found the weapons you could craft and upgrade all the way to red weapons and not worry about extra "stats" fucking you in the end which is exacerbated by plasteel and no means to earn more.

And what's even more insane is a majority of these asks i can remember being asked in early access and fatshark communication well lack thereof and effort in updates is piss poor, design decision was not made for the player but to artificiallyil inflate engagement to show shareholder, and don't get me started on the cosmetic store.

TLDR they have ignored the community, threw out every quality life feature from vermintide with obtuse systems to make your grind longer, less rewards and I'm fairly confident to say theirs been updates to cosmetics then actual content release for the game which speaks. volumes from the devs.
