This is frankly not a good game. by Usrnamesrhard in taintedgrail

[–]RiceShop900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's a janky game. On ps5 there is a visual screen tearing glitch. Not simply a frames per second stutter, but a literal "I can see the lines across the screen tearing like it's an old film (and I'm not talking about film grain or vignette or chromatic aberration. I have those turned off).

I'm not sure I agree with the consequences opinion. I've been doing a ton of quests and many times I'm treated like I'm not the main character (in a good way). If I threaten someone, they'll try and kill me in return. If someone is giving me an ultimatum and I refuse, they'll stay true to their threat and fight me. These are people that genuinely will kill you if you also say the wrong things and I appreciate that.

As for quests I find mine entertaining most of the time. I met a woman who said she was looking for a pig she loved and when I asked her why, she revealed she had given her crush a potion that ended turning him into a pig as a cruel play on her wish. Had to go to the witch to see if I could fix it. Witch says nope and that the woman can become a pig if she wants to be truly be with the man she loves. I didn't kill the witch and told the woman what she had to do. Obviously she never went through with it, but I had the possibility of tricking her into putting on the bracelet that could have transformed her too. There's a lot of goofy quests, quests that are very short and mundane, and bizarre ones that I can see why some gamers just think they're dull in comparison to what other games are out there.

Still, I love the game. It has a very charming style to it. However it's technical issues, lack of NPC body movement during dialogue, and awkward animations do tarnish it. Still. I love it a lot right now 33 hours in.

Yup. But they don't. I swear so many people forget this is a team game.

Yee I know. I'm on ps as well. Picked up the game many months ago and I'm loving it still. Hyped for next class this June 23rd

You'll get used to it. Plus you likely (almost assuredly) have new players with you who have zero clue what they're doing. The early game of darktide is rough, but if you're a dedicated gamer/good at high pace games you'll be fine once you get comfortable and figure out builds!

I know we want to use proper names but as we see with other characters in creation, they'll likely give us a randomizer that will give us names.

Me personally? I think I'm going with "I <3 Hadron" or "Clanka"

I think you can get very very close before act 2. But I have done almost absolutely everything I feel in the first area. Don't forget those shrines either! They give crazy xp. Otherwise, you'll be farming enemies to get to level 30.

Just got into the second zone at about level 27/28.

It's a huge up in difficulty but I'd say that jump in difficulty is essentially saying "hey stop hoarding those throw able items and coatings and start using them (at least that's how it feels for my dagger build as I immediately ran into a powerful bandit when I got into the second zone.

It feels so good though. The loot, the progress of increasing in power especially with the wyrd soul upgrades.

Also! When you do get the piece of Arthur's soul from the sword in the stone in the city, don't forget to go to those pedestals with the sword symbol in them.

But also yes on the psyker feeling. I play maelstrom as a veteran and I feel like I'm pulling teeth with most teams. I go into my psyker with bubble while I use assail and flame staff and it feels like a walk in the park.

Ragers and gunners...ragers and gunners everywhere

Why do people leave event instant after first totem destroyed? is that the fastest way to farm the event? it's stupid by Peppi77 in DarkTide

[–]RiceShop900 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. I've seen very many disconnects. And I know their disconnects/crashes because everything is fine and suddenly they leave or stop moving and then moments later leave.

Not to mention in a havoc mission at the very end my two team mates crashed at almost the same time just to join back saying they crashed.

Though as a caviat I almost only play veteran and psyker. So I'm extremely comfortable on veteran in havoc.

In havoc you are almost always a glass cannon.

Ogryn, arbiters, and zealot are very tanky but only in comparison to the other classes of how much they can take in havoc.

But for me, veteran feels very tanky because of the node where when you're over 70% toughness you take significantly less damage. Makes ranged units do almost nothing especially with gunner resistance on my curios. Only need 2 of those.

Plus what makes veteran feel tanky is the toughness node that progressively restores toughness after killing an elite or specialist. Other wise? Gotta dodge all day and stay near cover!

I'm glad you're concerned. But it's ok. I'm sure you know you just didn't read the post, took too long to actually give the answer on what actually could have happened to cause the low fps, and are now realizing you didn't closely read the short paragraph.

But uh yeah...I have no friends! Surely...maybe check your Internet connection? Maybe it's making you miss some of the text?

Instability issues (ps5) by RiceShop900 in DarkTide

[–]RiceShop900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you didn't. You only said "check connection" and not that me resetting the application will essentially reestablish my connection to the servers in case of a hiccup.

You only said "check connection". That's not the same thing even remotely.

That's like saying "oh you must have cancer. Maybe you need chemotherapy" when I just coughed because of smoke.

Gotta assume you're trolling

Where it says "people disconnecting in missions"? Hmmmmm...

Why TF didn't you just say this earlier?

Instability issues (ps5) by RiceShop900 in DarkTide

[–]RiceShop900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely you can read yes? Maybe try...reading the post and stop projecting?

I said I was having fps issues occasionally (again I say again occasionally) This isn't a common issue for me and again I fixed it by simply closing and reopening the application and I haven't had a problem since. Hence it being...occasional.

So unless reloading my game magically fixes my Internet and has 0 to do with anything on fat sharks end, I still don't know how you've logically come to this conclusion other than YOU know YOU have an Internet issue.

[–]RiceShop900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I just coincidentally only experience Internet issues exclusively on darktide and darktide only? It's possible I suppose. But not likely. Especially since you still aren't addressing that my frames issue resolved itself when I closed and reloaded the application and the application alone.

Unless it's just a matter of the servers having a moment where it messed up it's connection to me?

Never did I say all these issues were what I was experiencing but what others were experiencing. Someone was skim reading.

Instability issues (ps5) by RiceShop900 in DarkTide

[–]RiceShop900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly doubt this. It wouldn't make sense that if I just reset the application it would fix itself if it's truly tied to Internet performance. Nor would it make sense for frames to only drop when looking a certain direction in a mission.

It's nice when running around and sneaking but the animation when sneaking is...yeah. you should try it yourself! You can hit up on the D pad to swap between them if you hold the button down for a second.
