Prioritizing micro transactions before basic features that were previously available is not right and making it so you have to overspend to get the cosmetics you do want is a disgusting practice.

art team != game devs. it is messed up but they said they scrapped the crafting system at the last moment to make a better one. art team did their job. crafting team did a shit job and are redoing it. unfortunate

im trying to do last weekly mission wich i am stuck for 4 days now and guess what im stuck with the last mission thats not even on the rooster or if it is its but on the highest difficulty. good luck with that. ITs like the game doesnt want me to finish weeklys to get currency rather forces me to buy for real money. Im playing beacouse i want to finish it and put this game on the shelve for atleast 2 months.

@bino What are you going to do? NOT play the game after buying it? And how else do you give a public review without buying the game and checking it out first? You want people to spoil it with youtube lets plays or pirate it? You expect only people who 100% know they will like the game to ever buy it and leave a review so all games will be overwhelmingly positive in the steam store? Smooth brain comment my man.

Not recommended review posted on the 30th. Unlocked an achievement the next day, and then December 2nd. Don't recommend and don't like the practices taken but still playing it? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Ofc its a priority because you get more money from unusefull cosmetics rather then game itself. They could easely add more weapons with comestics and different stats and many other ideeas but meh , it takes more time and is not worth it :)

Fatshark has different groups of people working on different parts of the game and they also re did crafting.

This review is biased, heavily - WAY too many people are taking issue with "microtransactions". The only stuff buyable in this game with real life currency are cosmetics. I am very happy to have a game with this solid of a foundation and a way for Fatshark to make money while they continue to support their game, which they are renowned for their continued support of their games.

Tencent 腾讯 bought more than a third of Fatshark which goes a long way towards explaining why they are trying to foist this grindy, lootbox-infested MMO trash on people who wanted Vermintide 3.

@the Agent, this is the very definition of content being locked behind a pay wall.

Darktide has a penance system to unlock a minor amount of cosmetics through challenges, there are also re-colors of these basic penance cosmetics in the item shop for in-game currency....... the remain vast majority, which "coincidentally" has all the interesting & exciting, Cosmetics (aka CONTENT) are LOCKED behind a premium currency PAYWALL.

Your statement, by every observable metric, is the exact OPPOSITE of what the devs are doing. Call me old, even though I'm just in my mid 20s, but I remember a time when cosmetics were in game content with value because they were hand out as reward for difficult challenges or gameplay milestones. This is CONTENT that kept many players coming back and playing the game to unlock them, keeping the community active for longer. Something a game like darktide, who's backbone is having a community to play with, has ripped out.

At least it is not content being locked behind a paywall.
