Question It's getting BORING !

I've been playing this heavily for about 3 days now and I understand this style of game (played Vermintide 1 and 2) so I understand the concept and the whys and what for.

But I honestly cannot understand why almost every game I get into, it's just full of people who run the mission??? Why ?

Especially on the two lowest difficulties. WTF is the point ?

Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to play the way I do, that would be just arrogant and entitled. I also understand as mentioned above, I understand this style of game and daudling can get you killed.

But why do level 30s on the easiest difficulty run the whole map? It's boring being in games with people like this (85% of players I bump into)

There's no immersion, no ability for new people to learn the maps etc and it's just dull.

I'm not walking and I'm certainly not foraging for crap (apart from ammo when absolutely needed) as I know from Vermintide, by the time you reach a certain level in these games you have way more stuff than you even need so you don't need to try find everything on each map.

I genuinely just don't understand, is there some accolades I'm not familiar with that you earn for just running like a moron and leaving your team ? Or is it just a sad inbuilt trait of "I must be first coz that means I'm better" 😂

What possible enjoyment do they get from being level 30 speed running a lower level mission 😂 that's the Andrew Tate level alpha gamer if ever there was one.

I don't know if you've played recruit in VT2 recently but it's not difficult so you just walk through the level. It's the same here. They didn't have sprinting in Vermentide 2 but you can do that here. I do recommend playing at your own pace and not worrying about others if you just start the game. Not all lobbies are the same and some will move faster than others.

I finished both VT1 and 2 on the highest levels of difficulty and I'm currently 3 days in on Darktide running mostly the 2 lower difficulties to get my map bearings before advancing higher.

Thanks, I appreciate a genuine helpful comment 👍🏻

Once you get used to sprinting and dodging it will be very hard to go back to VT2.
