Dealbreaker for me, maybe I'll pick it up on sale down the road. My biggest hope for Darktide would be that it would be more ranged focused than Vermintide.

Visuals are really great, so are sound effects and general atmosphere.
Game runs like doodoo on a ryzen 5800x and 3090. I can keep ~70fps if I turn off RTX and a ton of other shit, but it's pretty bad.
Matchmaking appears to be p2p just like Vermintide was and fails frequently. Load times are colossally long and you'll often lose one or more person from a squad during it.
Once it does load the host selection seems to be doing the worst job it possibly can and every match is a rubberbanding lagfest.
Early game loadouts and weapon selection are extremely meager, but the guns are satisfying to shoot and melee is nice and crunchy. It seems to pretty heavily favor melee in general with the way toughness regeneration works, but hard to say if that holds up throughout the entire game or not.
Lot more types of special enemies than there were in L4D or Vermintide - I counted at least 8 during the first mission?

I think it's more like Vermintide back when Kerillian had infinite ammo and you also had a ranged Sienna in the party kind of thing. You have 2 people more or less meleeing full time to control the flow of trash and hordes who switch to ranged to take out elites(Orgryn is a given for that), and then 2 people who can more or less full ranged fire and only melee if they get overrun or flanked and such. The issue being unlike Vermintide where it was clear who does what based on the classes, it might be hard to play mostly ranged if everyone else is also mostly ranged. Might come down to weapon selection(like in Vermintide if you had Bardin with a flamethrower, it was technically a ranged weapon but would basically fix horde control at least on lower difficulties).
Seeing as how the game is going to mostly appeal to Vermintide players though, I think you'd end up with people doing the melee roles pretty naturally quite often especially at higher difficulties. As I said Orgryn for example is more or less designed to do that, so it wouldn't be surprising to be able to stay mostly ranged with Veteran.

- Improved optimization and performance.
- Added mouse sensitivity.
- Added the ability to turn off wobble for players with motion sickness.
- Added the ability to skip the tutorial after initial character creation.
- We are working on adjusting the sensitivity of the chat filter so that calling out “snipers” no longer looks like you’re calling your teammates something only Nurgle could love. Please let us know how this is working for you.
- We’ve added the Meat Grinder to the Mourningstar’s Psykhanium so you all can test your weapons before going into a mission. Just don’t shoot the servitors. They’re expensive.
- We’ve worked on general connectivity issues so you all can consistently stay connected to games.
- We’ve adjusted the difficulty of the “Cooling” mission, so it is more in line with the other maps’ difficulty levels.
- Some work has been done to lighting and to help players better see and identify enemies.
- We’ve implemented a new HUD so players can access more transparent information on their teammates.
- We’ve increased weapon handling for the Veteran Sharpshooter’s starter weapons, so your reject doesn’t handle their weapon like only a heretic would.
- We’ve separated enemy tagging input from the smart tagging wheel so players can more easily tag enemies.
- Malice difficulty has been locked to players until their character reaches level 3. Let’s not thin the Mourningstar’s ranks too quickly, Reject!
- Players in full strike teams can play the highest difficulty level that at least one party member has unlocked, even if the rest of the team hasn’t yet unlocked it.
- Chaining weapons, specifically push into attacks, should now be smoother.
- There’s been some fine-tuning on weapon swaps, but they depend on the weapon's size and weight. For example, switching between a 2h chainsword and a bolter will not be immediate. Switching to melee should always be instant, while ranged weapons have a “ready-up” time.
- Tuned some dodges and dodge timings.
- Player stun and hit reactions have been tuned to avoid instances where players could be stun-locked by riflemen. But remember to take cover!

yeah. for ref, arch was playing vet sharpshooter. I would guess he was doing 60/40 ranged/melee. way more then he liked, and I would have liked either..
Several things to consider though. 1. newb with no perks. its possible the perks greatly increase gun uptime. 2. newb all around. he wasn't using his special or grenades. so, a good player might use those to back up regular guns, to avoid melee. 3. weapon unlocks as well. again, might change things up.

Game has crashed twice for me at the end of the mission. Fucking annoying as all hell.

This is another big problem. Arch mentioned it. Too much fog, and atmospheric lighting. and then grey on grey on grey.
wander comments on it pretty quick too.

Level 5 opened feats. Might need to adjust the glasses ^^
Beta is all over the place for me and if this reflects the "launch" product then oof. Lot of people with crashing issues (myself included), poor UI, item descriptions etc... Stagger from ranged shots, fire etc.. seems a little much also.
