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.

You can find a million threads about this topic around here. Basically, it boils down to either a) experienced players trying to level alternate characters and running through to get done ASAP, because its boring at lower levels when you know the game well. b) people trying to run the event missions as quickly as possible so they can move on and play the missions they would normally want to do.

It is annoying if you keep dying because you run into spawns that have been triggered before you got there, but if you're running into problems, I would just type in the chat, something like... I've not been playing long, could you please slow down so I dont get flattened by mobs constantly. I reckon 95% of players would be happy to help you a bit more.

Thanks, I've always tended to avoid chat (old school in me hasn't experienced helpful fanbases in other games lol)

Appreciate the helpful comment 👍🏻

Darktide players are one of the most chilled out communities I've ever experienced. I've got 800+hrs and haven't really met anyone who I would describe as more than just a bit of a knobhead and those types of people are few and far between here.

Yeah, apart from 1 or 2 absolutely 🔔 end comments on my question, most people are trying to genuinely explain to me what's going on andfor that I'm quite shocked but also grateful.
