Is this the end of Darktide?

[RTango11]

Before TOD my clan would always be on and i could find plenty of fights, now it's a ghost server, nobody is here...To be honest i think this is it, Darktide is finished.

Please keep in mind that many people have never played without plugins. It may be far too un-nerving to run around without a 3rd party program doing all of the work for you.

[Ethan Hunt'_DT]

Jida is right. Once decal is up the new island will be a war zone and plenty of people will be playing. Me personally i may complain about stuff but i don't think i'll just wake up one day a quit.

[slamdamn]

un-nerving? i dont think so. its tedious as hell is what it is. searching every item on a corpse gets old after about 2 corpses. memorizing formulas for arrows and junk like that sucks. no war detect means that any melee dumb enuf to take 2 swings at a pk scumbag without breaking off the target and moving takes his life in his hands.

If you consider this dead then the game has been dead for awhile. Everyone who is on now is because they are playing not macroing. There is almost constant fighting at candeth. If you check all the hot spots (ab, siths, etc.) your bound to find people fighting. I also find alot of people at the noob towns. The server seems alot more active then before ToD. Either way the game is getting there.

[Maximus]

there is war detect look when a mage says zojak whatever

[Jida]

It is not the same as having a Star Trek red alert sound go off so you know if someone is targetting you.

Personally, I never stopped moving ever so I had no use for it.

[Mimir]

I just lag so much now that I can't play simple as that, I don't need no war detect, I would however like some sort of auto looting

[Virindi Clown]

A whole lot of players may be gone because Decal isn't working, but the longer it takes, the less people will come back when it finally is fixed, along with all the other plug-ins that are now broken.

It could very potentially kill DT. That is not an exageration in any way. I am being very serious. The population was already teatering on the point of the server no longer being able to function as it should. Another exodus of players will undoubtedly cause its full collapse.

God you people whine a lot. Go have fun on Darktide. It's what it's there for. If you're not having fun, don't log on and find something better to do with your spare time. It's that easy.

It's not like the server isn't making progress. New dungeons have been added, new weapons have been added, and there's more in stock for us. If you're completely convinced that none of these things are going to be interesting, do yourself a favour and quit now.

[Virindi Clown]

Yes, let's all just sit idly by and be contempt with mediocrity and digression. Then we'll whine to whiners about how they whine and how we hate whining. Wouldn't the world be such a better place if everyone thought like that?

And those of us who actually want to see the server NOT shut down, will continue to post constructively.

I don't understand you. Your bassicaly pushing away the last bit of life-support darktide has by encouraging people to quit. So, once the unhappy people quit, and your one of the last 10 people on dartktide (a very real number), do you really think Turbine will keep the server running?

Damn fool. I'm quoting myself from another post when I say think before you piost because posting out of spite will make you look even dumber.

It is sad that people are not PvPing because they have to rely on a third party software in order to play a game.

Pathetic.

It is nice to have a program do all of the mundane items like create potions, arrows, etc., but needing to have a program tell you who is attacking you with what is, for a lack of a better word, a pu$$y tactic. Anyone needing such a program has no right to comment any of his peers in this game or any game about skill and fair play.

I believe that Turbine should put in their own Macro system built into the client that does not create lag server wide like Decal has been proven to do and ban the use of third party programs all together.

I know this is pesemistic, but I laughed so hard when I read your last sentence: "Either way, the game is getting there". IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 YEARS. That's the better part of a decade, man! How much more time do they need to get this right?

You know what is so funny? Turbine spent millions to aquire both the DD and LoTR Franchises, when they could have just improved AC. If they just took the grapahics of AC2, and combined that with every game dynamic of AC1 (minus the obvious hamperings) and just LISTENED to the COMMUNTIY for 7 years strait and did things how we said, this would be the NUMBER ONE mmolg on the ****ing market.

It is really a shame, So much potential ruined by piss-poor management!

What a novel idea! Oh, but wait, I foresee a problem. That would require work, and right now, they seem to be very happy letting all the people who work on Decal and its many apps fix the game for them.

And people aren't playing because they can't use MiniPK and stuff like that. It's mostly because so many common things in the game are so senseless and they become unbearable to many people without Decal, like looting and buffing, and it get really old, really quick. It's a game. It is supposed to be entertaining, not tedious.

Decal has been around almost as long as AC, and all along, it has been making up for shortcomings that have resulted from Turbine's failure to adapt the game to their own changes. If it had not been there all along, people would have complained about how poor the loot system is with everything you have to look for and read over today, and how ridiculous the concept of buffing is. Over the years, many, many problems have piled on top of eachother, with Decal masking them to the majority all the while.

Now, with its sudden disappearance after all that time, most people are left in the dark about what had really been going on over all those years. All the problems have hit them in the face at once, and it makes it look like more of an issue of people becoming dependent on a 3rd party app just because they are used to it, but not because of actual problems with the game, as many of them were introduced so long ago that we cannot recall when everything became the way it is today.

[Oblique]

Actually. I find fights easy to find.

Go to Yaraq.. and wait...

In my experience, it doesn't take long before a fight happens.

[KabritBois]

Turbine should make war detect programs forbiden on the server.
Simple as this.
