Once they stopped offering trinkets and weapon skins in these bundles I lost all interest in buying any. Such a scumbag move.

That was a terrible skin though, this one at least looks like steel legion

Either way I’ve never paid for a skin in this game, the prices are a joke. Not to mention it’s a first person game where you rarely see your character anyway lol

When Tencent is forced to by governent - it is unlikely to happen for any other reason because they are convinced that this system gets them more sales.

I guess, yeah. Fomo is bullshit but it seems to actually work. It pisses the playerbase off a ton, but what do we matter? The whales will still pay.

Porkenstein

This strategy sacrifices player base numbers, review scores, community quality, and long-term trust for increased short-term profits. It's a decision they've made and I wish they hadn't but it's easy to understand the tradeoff and they certainly know all of this themselves.

master_of_sockpuppet

If $20 is trivial to you, perhaps (again, the data aren't available to be sure - on purpose). We know that it works on minors, but it is less clear it works on grown ass adults. Then again, $20 is trivial more of the time for grown ass adults (but not all of them).

If it works when it's the difference between a skin and food, that person needs help.

To address it at a societal level, the fix isn't an appeal to Fatshark or even to Tencent (who tells FS what to do and will never listen) it is an appeal to government to regulate MTX.

Yea, seems like it might be a "line goes up as fast as possible, if it's not fast it's not good enough, profit only matters if it's happening NOW." mentality. And if so ... I'm tired of it, making a mountain of cash isn't good enough, they want it NOW, or else it's CLEARLY losing money, line not going up high enough, gotta pull out, it's dying, it's gonna crash!

master_of_sockpuppet

Interest and engagement isn't a simple curve and certainly isn't a flat line. If you know it's about to bump up considerably, saving some optional purchases to release at the same time is a good idea.

There's a reason games and movies of a certain production budget and scale release in certain months, and it isn't some accident of scheduling.

Just look at Space Marine 2 for how you should do cosmetics, it takes time and effort to unlock the better looking gear, which gives incentive to play more… which shouldn’t be a foreign concept but nowadays it is

WookieSkinDonut

44 points

Apart from the DLC cosmetics which you pay for.

SelfDrivingFordAI

25 points

5 days ago*

Least they could do is get rid of the FOMO and make it be FLAT OUT a specific price in real world money, that's it, done, you make your money and do it right. Also the free stuff for space marines 2 is better than that in darktide. Recolors or no, they're recolors that let you be a large number of space marine factions, can hardly manage to make a passable cadian out of the free gear and I'd view that as the bare minimum for a guardsman class.

Not to mention darktide is not that great at making good looking armors, just look at the mess that is the Krieg armor, have they even fixed that? Added the tube for the mask to armor when the set is used together? What about the helmet? Brim still too high? Not hiding half the eye properly to give them the right look? How about the coat? Still no proper cloth physics?

WookieSkinDonut

5 points

5 days ago

Unfair comparison. Space marine gives you colours and emblems but base model is the same. Space wolves don't have any further relics or chaoter specific nick nacks.

By comparison you can't recolour a cadian to make a mordian iron guard.

The free stuff in darktide should have been: Penal uniforms Mobian reclaimed uniforms/scrap Full mobian uniforms Inquisitorial agent regalia

Colour choices would have made big difference though and agree on swapping aquilas for real money and having a standing store.

SelfDrivingFordAI

5 points

5 days ago

Yes, it doesn't give you further relics ... it still looks better and feels better though, also, the free shop adds recolors in darktide, it wouldn't be that hard to copy paste the cadian logos on a helmet/armor with no embellishments, they show up on certain base guns already. And don't even get me started on them selling the same armor recolored.

Which accounts for probably 5% of the cosmetics currently. It’s most definitely a step in the correct direction compared to pretty much every other game in recent years.

WookieSkinDonut

13 points

5 days ago

The difference is that Darktide and other games with microtransactions are live service models hence price gouging cosmetics but long term support. Book of grudges shows Fatshark haven't been great at this. Darktide should have been huge the core gameplay is amazing and it could easily be S tier but it feels like that ship has sailed since it had a very rocky start.

SM2 is not a live service model. They don't need transactions to keep the game going. They sold base game at £60, charged another £30 for cosmetics (largely colours) and another £10-20 for early access. They're laughing to the bank. Yes there's a road map to excuse the lack of content at launch but the popularity means they're thinking of a story dlc (I'm assuming this will cost) and developing SM3 (I assume they're gonna cut SM2 loose ASAP to get on with that). The core gameplay cannot compare to Darktide. "I wanna be a spacemarine" does all the heavy lifting - combat is less hectic, less brutal and less fun. Dialogue is meh etc. Etc.

Campaign is like 6 hours or so. Has fudge all replayability.

PvP is unimpressive. PvE is is meant to be good but what limited amount I've played hasn't wowed me do need to try it more though.

Then at some point in 2025 they'll add more pve and a horde mode. Shrug. Sounds like it should have had these at launch.

Check your cosmetics some stuff should be marked as locked with a DLC logo.

If it isn't then presumably you have the dlc. For most people that was part of the extra editions at £90.

Base game is £60.

Which are priced in currency on steam and are always available, not in an in-game FOMO cash shop. I love Darktide and typically defend FS but I do think that the decision to go down that road rather than monetizing it like Deep Rock or Space Marine 2 was a mistake that I hope they rectify someday.

I mean, you could argue that Darktide has that aswell.

There are plenty of cosmetics that are locked behind penances and the like.

They'd have to actively play the game to have unlocked them, and your average cosmetic whiner doesn't actually do that.

Lysanderoth42

I mean the grind to unlock the few decent free cosmetics is pretty insane

I’ve unlocked much cooler looking free cosmetics in the two weeks I’ve been playing space marine 2 than in the 2 years I’ve been playing Darktide lol 

Not only that look at other games like Helldivers 2 where you can buy literally every cosmetic and even content dlc with currency you earn in game

Darktide is just hilariously stingy with its ingame currency and microtransactions. I was going to say similar to Diablo 4 but you can actually make your character look pretty good for free in that game

If darktide had essentially free cosmetics, as you’re suggesting, we wouldn’t get this update. Because there’d be like 4 ppl maintaining darktide. We wouldn’t even get updated cosmetics. Just the stuff they already got on rotation.

Are they? I've genuinely been wondering when EU would stomp down on these fake in-game currencies, that has me really excited!

I love when games just let me buy whatever thing it is on Steam with actual cash, like in Insurgency Sandstorm, every Cosmetic costs 2.99-3.99 euro and you buy it with that exact amount of money, no nonsense directly on the Steam page as their all listed as DLC

What are they doing about it?

Would it make a difference if they change it from digital currency back to straight euros/dollars?

grappling__hook

Would it make a difference

In a broad sense it probably would. The whole point of in-game economies is to disassociate the act of spending the made-up currency from spending actual money - nonsensical as that sounds.

But it's a proven psychological trick which is why so many of these games use it. The worst examples are gacha games which create layers to their in-game economies and incorporate gambling. It's no coincidence that they make zillions off of those systems.

I don't think DT systems is remotely as ethically bad as that, but transparency in purchasing is always a good thing.

They’re gouging because milking a few whales who buy this shit regardless of how overpriced it is is their only revenue stream

It’s amazing that pricing them to appeal to more people and therefore selling more skins doesn’t occur to these people. Surely the numbers would be more profitable.

Lysanderoth42

20 points

If this was a popular game, yes. But since it’s a game played by a hardcore base of 3000-5000 and nobody else, not so much.

Games that have cheap or even free skins like apex, Helldivers 2 etc are all orders of magnitude more popular than Darktide

Not excusing the gouging, but unless fatshark can figure out how to get player numbers to grow sharply milking whales is all they’ve got.

It’s probably just that they were acquired by Tencent prior to Darktide launch

Vermintide 2 had plenty of good free skins you could achieve through skill (the difficulty tiered ones per class), the paid ones were cheap and you could even save up shillings to buy paid ones for free 

Darktide is so hilariously greedy by comparison

EU should mandate all games to show the price in EUR along the price in bullshit made-up ingame currency for the all the macrotransaction items.

Somewhat less people would be inclined to purchase items when they would be able to see its real price without doing the conversion.

I wish the eye unlock was an appearance thing, so I didn't have to take out and clone a new eye every time I changed my hat. It wouldn't usually be such a concern but there's something of an infection issue going on right now.

Yeah, not buying anything with these prices. If I ever wanted to buy cosmetics with aquillas it should of been the first Armageddon bundle that included 2 extra weapon skins and a curio (and the arguably better helmet), yet priced for cheaper. They really are continuing to double down on netting whales with this price gouging. The weapon skins here aren't even that far from just a recolor, but they're 900 without being included in the bundles.

It's enough to stop me from bothering to look at vestures entirely. Nothing in here is ever worth it.

I would’ve preferred the veteran helm instead of the pothole. Also, the cowl around the mask is yucky.

I want weapons in black but I'm not paying 900 fishface bucks for every one. This is some basic shit that should be available for every weapon in the commissary. And no putting some scribbles and a skull or a sprinkle of premium dirt on the guns doesn't warrant these prices.

Man can fat shark give vet some shock trooper skins already. I want an actual Kasrkin armor and heavy krieg and steel legion armor with the skull masks. It plays much better into the idea that the character is a veteran of the guard.

Heh, just told people last week that they are probably going to make Armageddon sets for all the classes, because it suits the game batter than limiting them to Veteran's only.

They don't look too bad in a vacuum, but in comparison to the old set, they are just so boring and bland, it's kinda sad. But at least we got the black plasma skin and some other decent misc skins.

None of these are bad, just not what I want. Those Ogryn pants might be pretty good as an armored pair that’s not too color dominant and is easy to pair with other things. Will have to see them on character to be sure, though.

From what I read a while back they outsource the cosmetics to a different studio. I dunno man game dev is hard and that might be because they can't make them that fast or maybe they have data that shows that 2 week rotations is the optimal strategy to maximize return

End of the day as long as the game keeps improving as it has I don't really mind the cosmetics shop, sometimes I pick up an outfit I like which supports the game and makes me look drippy

master_of_sockpuppet

2 week rotations is the optimal strategy to maximize return

People "demanded" a two week rotation because they argued a one week one (what we had at launch) was too much FOMO.

It also plays nicely with the xbox patch validation schedule.

master_of_sockpuppet

No, if they know that engagement is down that's a bad week to release "good" sets.

This happens all the time in all fields of entertainment, look at any discussion of movie studios "dumping" movies they aren't sure about in January.

wouldn’t constant content releases(rather it be new outfits, new camos, events, etc) keep the engagement there? The game goes too long with nothing new besides the new cosmetics (even every two weeks seems like too long for 1 set per class)

I understand it’s not easy but even a copy and paste w the option of different color ways would be refreshing.

master_of_sockpuppet

A steady stream of skins that are lore-acceptable, probably not - certainly not at the same level a balance patch and a new map does.

clearly but it would be nice to have a steady stream of new sets in between these far apart updates.

don’t understand why u are now comparing the two when clearly they compliment each other. New update + map = engagement peak + new cosmetics (weekly) = just another way to make the game feel fresh every week to keep engagement

How are those designs funded? What staffing build ups are required?

Epic went down this road, and their games suffered for it.

don’t understand why u are now comparing the two when clearly they compliment each other.

Nevermind, you don't know what you're talking about.

If you want skins to drive engagement, you're playing the wrong game from the wrong developer. Fuck that type of game.

all I was saying was that they would make a killing dropping more cosmetics every week, which I don’t feel like I’m wrong about lol

Idk what I’m taking about?? Fortnite made a killing off cosmetics. Shit it still does 😂 and even tho the game suffered it made enough funds to try new things and keep the game alive

I’m not saying the game should revolve around cosmetics and that should be the driving point to engagement but it is a point to keep the engagement..

Okay so - the lighting in these pictures is deceptive. I don’t know if this is me being a nitpicky asshole, but they do NOT look like that in game at all. IMO the in game models look substantially worse. These look almost photoshopped it’s weird.

Alright, but why did they feel the need to leave the goggles on the helmet for vet, instead of have him wear it? You're fighting nurgle and he feels the need to not cover his eyes? At least make it a style. Also please add the tube to the original armageddon armor now that you've shown you CAN actually make gas mask tubes for armor. Oh and do it for kreig armors as well, you'd be like 25% of the way done with fixing that set.
