If I remember correctly, Fatshark have said that there won't even be cross-play between Game Pass and Steam at launch, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Oof. Well sales are always happening.

Pretty bummed I've apparently been weighed by The Emperor and he's found me wanting since I didn't get into the beta.

The Emperor must super love me. I play Blood Angels and I will have my copy of The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer to give inspiration to my teammates during times of stress.

Where are goons gonna form up groups for the test, which discord?

There's the Vermintide discord and there's the general co-op discord. I'll be playing on the co-op goons one.

https://discord.gg/u4Jh9QvC Goonintide
https://discord.gg/qh2ZuUzCCo-op Goons

There's probably more discords out there, goons being goons and all.

Really hoping this game lets you jump into a real difficulty from the start rather than forcing you to slog through recruit/veteran equivalents like VT2.

Idk if they'd skip the micro transaction grind or not but hopefully they get a loving clue and put some weapon unlocks behind very small progression then just go straight to cosmetics for rewards. I enjoyed reds but i don't want weapon stats anymore i want weapons being weapons like chaos wastes, make it all about skins and looking dapper as gently caress. Give me 100 lasgun skins, i won't complain.

There's another chance to sign up for the Beta if you're like me and didn't get chosen the first time.

Just go to the store page for Darktide on Steam, there's a link right below the pre-order to request another op to be part of the Beta.

They did in the first beta! I happily got eaten alive repeatedly. The last beta was NDA'd, but this upcoming one doesn't seem to be, so I'll try to drop a stream link for people not in yet to come watch me get destroyed

Personally I'm hoping they don't lock content behind the higher difficulty settings like they did in VT2

Would be nice if they didn't lock weapon types behind RNG loot and/or crafting, barely got to use any weapon types in VT2 due to that(didn't help that I never did figure out how the crafting system in that game worked, they made it way too complicated for a game about smashing giant rats)

how

the crafting system in vt2, for all its "gotta roll the PERFECT set of attributes" faults for harder diffs and tryhard moments, literally makes you the thing you want

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
The Co-op Goons server has now set up roles and channels for those looking for Darktide groups, either during this test period or for full release. Invite link is here, be aware that we're using the Goon Hosted Authentication User Service (GOONHAUS) for account verification. I'd appreciate the link being added to the OP.

Don't forget that almost every trait was broken for over a year so unless you stacked crit+swift slaying you were likely knee capping yourself instead of actually improving anything. The devs knew about all the broken traits and threatened modders when they were finally given the tools to look at the code and exposed all the broken poo poo. The best poo poo was parry which had like a .15 second window when it functioned that didn't account for lag so unless you were host it wasn't functional at all and the devs didn't see a problem with this because why didn't you just host if you wanted to use parry?

Just thinking about the months of playing with the nagging question of whether poo poo was working or not in the back of my mind then having it all get validated is gave me PTSD.

I signed up on the webpage first, but only got "have you missed out beta" email and no code. But I also requested access on steam client and I got a notification email from steam(different email address from the web sign up page) that I've been invited, and I can pre-load the beta.

The queue does move, just very intermittently and in batches. I was stuck on 13200 for some 20 minutes, then it jumped to 12600 just a minute ago. Might be they're manually adding additional capacity or something perhaps? :shrug:

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
I'm in the queue myself, but I've a fairly beefy pc. I set the graphics to above medium where I could. We'll see how it is.

I signed up for this yesterday so I wasn't expecting to get in, pretty excited to give it a go. The queue has started moving so we should all be in soon.

In the alpha I had some pretty serious performance issues myself running it in borderless windowed, switching it to fullscreen and then back helped a lot for some reason.
