NEW or RETURNING to DARKTIDE? 

It’s meticulous work, but I have a good time with it. Thanks for the sentiment and taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

That is a very good point. I'll add it to my growing list of advanced tips.

Nice tip I've tried to get pugs to do this, have them ignore me and we lose one more player and wipe before the res point. In pre-made it can make clutch moments less frequent and much easier to handle.

Good points. Thank you for sharing. There are so many little nuances to perfecting teamplay in missions...seems like another video on the subject is in order.

Could you expand in detail what you mean about visiting the shops as Psyker benefiting other characters? I can't share gear of my characters...

@@murdurmuffin7872 I assume @pirx9798 is referring to acquiring Blessings to add to your collection, since Psyker, Vet, and Zealot have many weapons in common across them.

@@murdurmuffin7872 exactly as cashcrop said! Harvesting blessing for weapons all 3 humans can use.

Very good point.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm not that great at making thumbnails. I've been learning Adobe Photoshop and Premiere since February. I've changed this thumbnail. Let me know what you think. I think I'm going to have to start getting community feedback on thumbnail appeal.

@@cashcrop_looks cooler now for sure! Thanks for responding and sharing your experiences. Can’t imagine the challenge of figuring out Adobe but I’m glad you’re investing yourself. Darktide is an awesome game and the way your videos are paced is perfect for my boomer brain so I’m definitely gonna be following 👍

Thanks, Carlos! If you make a return, holler at me. I’ve considered reinstalling VT2. I miss Bardin.

Very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I certainly appreciate it.

Thanks, JP. This video was a lot of cuts, as the subject matter was so high level. I forgot about that with my Fundamentals video. That, too, took a while to put together.

Thank you much! I’m happy they are of value to you and I hope to others.

Thank you. I've had an ASMR comment a time or two before. Heh.

Very kind of you to say. That means a lot.

Agreed.

Well it's also fine to double dip if there's less than 4 players where one is a dumb bot.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy to help.

Lol. Thank you. That happened when I was making that video and thought, "Man, I gotta get that in there somewhere."

It's a good time. I don't always run Maelstrom, but definitely Quickplay Auric.

Thank you!

It's a fun game. Yes, new players is who I made this for. Like an orientation.

Thanks, Jack! I appreciate it. It's going to be a long road unlearning what we've all come to know over the past year, then wrapping our minds around what Patch 13 laid before us. Once I have a solid overall understanding of what we're dealing with, I'll have to go back to all my old videos and add "corrections" to the description. I'll likely compile these with previous "corrections" and make a video for each one, or a compiled single video. This patch is going to be awesome!

I read through the patch notes just now. There wasn't anything there that would indicate any information here is incorrect. I'm downloading the patch now to test some things I've laid out here. We'll see if I have to pull it and rework it.

Thank you!

Health > 0 = Good Times ;D

It's pretty amazing to me. I'm surprised. Pretty darn cool!

Dow3? You gotta be kidding me, its one of the worst 40k games out there

It has really good gameplay. Thanks for watching, and good luck in the Hive.

@@cashcrop_ thanks brother just subscribe looking forward for more videos god bless

@familiarodriguez5746 Mechanicus and Daemon Gate are alright tactical games to check out.

Thank you. Can't please everyone. The link on the Launcher for Darktide markets this to returning players for tips and tricks to keep their team alive. That really isn't what this video is about and I avoided the phrase "tips and tricks" in my own marketing of it. No big deal though, still sitting at a 97:3 Upvote:Downvote ratio. All good.

I think the dislikes are sourced mainly from disagreeing with the title like I do. 1000hrs boast usually entails a deeper depth into mechanics than surface level

@@poptartninja9496 The whole "way too many dislikes" was ironic, using the logic that they were too little, but still too much. But I can understand where you're coming from, I'm sure he can use the input.

Happy to help! =D

Thank you. I'm digging the changes, for sure.

Thank you! That means a lot.

Thank you.

I briefly mention that you can earn a blessing during the crafting section, but I could have added a sentence or two there to explain how. Good point.

Thank you.

It was a shock, to be sure. Thanks for bringing the news here. I didn't even know until another commented here about it.

Much obliged. Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing. I appreciate it.

Really?

Thank you so much 😀

Definitely.

Word.

Thank you very much!

Thank you. I cover Daemonhosts in my Fundamentals video that is linked at the end.

@@cashcrop_ Pog, that is good to know

Thank you.

I'm happy you found this helpful. FS did feature this video on the game launcher right after Patch 13, which certainly helped expand my channel's reach.

@@cashcrop_ that’s wonderful! Glad it got the recognition and exposure it rightfully deserves!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. Have fun. I’ll dive into Patch 13 later on. There is a lot to unpack there.

Thank you, much! I'm happy folks are finding it helpful.

Thank you so much. I don't have a Discord server of my own. i should probably make one. However, I hang out on Reginald's Discord (Reginald's Redemptionists) frequently. Here is a link to that (expires in 7 days): discord.gg/f5DN8rMu

Spread the good word, my friend.

Thank you. The song is "Dark House" by Alexey Anisimov. I don't know where it's available. I found it on Adobe Stock.

@@cashcrop_ Great, thanks a lot for the immediate reply, you're awesome! ;)

No problemo.

Thank you for that.

That's awesome! Congrats. It does feel good when you get through those "overwhelming" situations in melee. When it's make or break time it's nice when you make it.

Yours is the third comment on the title. After some thought on it, I agree that it isn't quite right.

@@cashcrop_ great video though, don't get me wrong! Incredibly informative for people starting or even me as a returning player with 230 hours to get back in action.

You're welcome.

It's a mod called Camera Freeflight by Aussiemon. www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/32#:~:text=About%20this%20mod,hosted%20lobbies%20(actual%20flight).

Are you clolor bind ? You said pink for corruption but its purple.

@@Chevalier_knight Lol, adding it.

@@cashcrop_ lol i asked two friends what colour it was one said pink one said purple its that dress all over again

@@Chevalier_knight Ha ha! That is exactly what popped in my head when I read your comment.

Yeah, it was pointed out to me some time ago, but I certainly didn't know it right off the bat. I thought it was just there for decoration.

I know the Zealot knives, and I think the Psyker shards are resupplied through ammo boxes.

​@@cashcrop_ Figured it out. It's a talent in Veteran's tree. "Field Improvisation" in the middle tree path (right before Voice of Command ability). It makes healing packs heal 2x as fast, cleanse corruption and heal toughness, AND makes ammo crates restore grenade. It's teamwide - regardless of who drops the pack, as long as the veteran in the team has the talent. Basically a must-pick, lol.

@@KubinWielki I'll keep an eye out. I've only made it through the Ogryn and Zealot trees so far. Thanks for sharing!

Good point.

Thank you.

Thank you for the kudos. I wonder how it will work out with the new skill trees. In the OG Darktide, depending on the class, there were some very important Feats that flushed out classes (especially Psyker). With how things are now, I'm curious. Perhaps I'll roll up a new dude and have a go. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!

It just advances with your level, unlike Vermintide.

You autoblock, right?

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I'm new to RU-vid. I've made a few shorts here and there. I don't typically watch shorts, so I'm a bit narrow-minded in their popularity. I know a lot of folks watch them.

@@cashcrop_ yeah, I get it. your presentation and production quality is awesome. once that darktide algorithm starts hitting for all the people looking up builds and more of your videos end up in their feed you're gonna take off. long form or short form you're one of the best darktide creators there is.

I like the music he's listening to.

It's a list of them. You have access to all Perks and tiers of them from day one.

@@cashcrop_ so you just have all the perks immediately but blessings you gotta find? I swear ive always wonder that about perks. Thanks cash!

That is correct. Thankfully we do not have to collect the Perks too.

@@cashcrop_ any tips on leveling zealot? I figure maybe bleed is good till i hit 30 and eventually get to difficulty 3. I figure it probably doesnt really matter.

@@infrared6973 I'm about to experience all of it for the first time, shortly. Here is a video by j_sat (the guy I learned VT2 from) talking about the Talent Trees: www.twitch.tv/videos/1940970982 Zealot starts around 58:20.

I believe there is more of it in higher difficulties. Eventually, you'll be swimming in it, as the requirements for Plasteel will far outweigh the amount of Diamantine that is required.

Indeed. Once you understand where they are, the team can pull away from them to force a respawn there.

@@cashcrop_ it’ll def be helpful when me and my friends get back into darktide. Also splitting the elites via immobilizers and area denial is genius

I'm a little pickier on my Ogryn, since there are so few weapons to choose from. I don't waste anything on sub-360 unless I'm testing something or fishing for Blessings.

I had to go look up Barony. If you're referring to the final song, it is called "Mysterious" by Alexey Anisimov.

An in-game compendium would be pretty dope. I'm glad this helped you. That's why I made it. Mission complete.

The power fantasy is fun, for now. There have been a couple moments where things get a little hairy, mostly when people are trying out new things. With very strong builds on every member of the Strike Team? Sometimes it's tough to find something to do because everything is dead.

@@cashcrop_ Yep exactly.

I assume so.

Thank you.

Shots fired!

I agree that the highest difficulty you can consistently complete will provide the most XP gain and leveling speed.

If you're playing on PC, it's likely a fix in System Settings for Input device. If it's on XBOX, I couldn't tell you.

Yea i'm using PC and i still i can't figure it out , only when i enter it gives me a blank square but it seems not working @@cashcrop_

That is super kind of you. Thank you!

Never.

Do you bunga, though?

@@cashcrop_ thats the problem, bunga is the hard part but probable

Thank you for the kudos, @poptartninja9496. I'll address all three of your comments here, as they all say the same thing. What an individual can learn in 1000 hours of exposure to something can vary. A medium such as this is incapable of adjusting to degrees of learning speed. Expectations. That being said, quantifying the amount of time it would take to understand everything I've laid out in this video isn't possible. There is a comment on this video of someone who didn't know that effigies were resurrection sites after 800 hours in game. I'm pleased I could help fill that information in. Would that individual have learned that over the next 200 hours of play? Perhaps. The amount of information one can put together and utilize for their benefit in a certain timeframe is entirely subjective. I went through many titles on this video, none of them included the word "dummies." Using the word "ultimate" or something similar in the title could also invite the very thing you're outlining here. It could also invite downvotes. Which, in your opinion, my title is the reason for those that I've received. Titles are tricky. To sum up, I've been doing this for about 6 months (so not very long), and am experimenting with various things. I will say that this is my highest performing video to date by a wide margin. Thank you for sharing your opinion, and I'll certainly keep it in mind for the future (learning process). Looking at the metrics of this video, things are currently the best they've been. An issue now exists. I typically change my titles after the video's performance begins to flatline. As I see it, since this comment and two more just like it exist I have only two options: 1) Change the title like I normally would and then nuke all three of your comments which I don't usually do 2) Leave the title

After some thought and some coffee, I have decided that you're right. Option 3: change the title and acknowledge it in the comments. Thanks for the feedback.

A very honest and based response, you're a good person. I appreciate avoiding censorship and as a newer content creator I think you're doing a great job

Right on. It's not for everyone.

18 minutes and 39 seconds if you watch the video

@@cashcrop_ i learned all these things by me, i enjoy doing that and i dont need a cringe guide, but hey, if u learned all these things in 1000 hours...i dont judge man, when a guide "how to do auric maelstorm after 1000000 hours"?

@@I_Nale_ 1,000,000 hours is longer than the average lifespan of a person.

In all seriousness, @@I_Nale_ , I'll break it down. "1,000 hours of understanding," as a title, means I have at least 1,000 hours in the game, and here is my understanding of "core concepts" (what is on the title card). I am glad that you agree that your 5 to 10 hours that are required to understand what I've laid out in a sub-twenty-minute video saves time, so thank you for that.

Lil bro didn't care enough to elaborate on what he meant but I ultimately agree, 1000 hrs in the title would suggest more than surface level details. Still a good video for what it actually is, a basic understanding

A skippable chapter. They're not for everyone. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts.

@@cashcrop_ just thought I would share. Not the best thing to come into as a new watcher. Cheers for the great content after though.

@@Kristaliorn I've considered cutting them in the past, but some folks like them. Perhaps a poll is in order.

The functionality exists, as Fatshark can do it, and has (for offensive names and they don't ask you what you'd like to change it to, as far as I'm aware). It wouldn't surprise me if this is allowed in the future. There is a mod that exists where you can now change your height and write it back to the server, so there is hope! Thanks for watching!
