Been there. Darktide is one of my favorite games because the majority of the community is nice as hell and just there for the fun, but there’s always that one douche that gets mad because their character name “Penisfart69420” isn’t popping up on the screen enough and will say you’re stealing kills and won’t contribute anymore. I love vote kick mechanics
I know it’s not the same as the table top game, but Warhammer is gold on all mediums IMO
I actually think you can play exclusively with friends, although you’ll still all be in the public hub area (it’s minimal interaction, mostly shops). Otherwise, once you select to play a match, you’ll be loaded only with the friends you’ve invited and bots to fill up team comp (4 players at all times). As for Solo mode, yeah, no such thing.
I’d also argue for playing Public. I have about 800 hours in the game, doing exclusively Public runs. Gotta say, it really is fun most of the time. Sure, ran into some exceptions, but they’re rare. Had a single rage quit because one of the team members kept spam-marking enemies and backseat driving for the entire match, but that happened only once in several hundred so far. At worst, it’s someone who rushes ahead (and gets themselves killed, which you can safely ignore if you and the other 2 team members stick together), or people who’re not yet used to their gear/movement/enemy prio, but they at least participate and stick close, so you can always help if needed.
Edit: double-checked, and yep! There’s a Private option when selecting missions, which allows you to invite friends. Once that’s done, you can Merge the Strike Team (definitely have the option post-mission, dunno about pre-mission because I’ve never tried it) and it’ll make the team composition persistent across runs.
You’re very welcome! It’s a fun game (gameplay-wise, at least, it’s damned near perfect - recommend Psyker with Force Greatsword, I wanna marry that loadout!), but the endgame’s still being built, to put it politely. Be prepared for long bouts of little to no new content after you unlock everything which interests you if you do check the game out. Still a fair bit to do now, though, so there’s that!
Seems a little personal. Who pissed off the dev team?
They probably channeled every minute of playing with That Guy™ and poured the rage into this post

Can I play Darktide in a private lobby with friends yet?
The game looks like a banger, I’m a big fan of Vermintide, but that’s unfortunately a deal-breaker for me.
Afraid not. I’m starting to think that it won’t be a thing. The entire game is built on team cohesion, and the bots are all at lvl 1 talents
Ah bummer. At least I have my rats
May the Emperor protect

Ooh, well that’s interesting to hear then.
Thanks for double checking!

Probably the people who really care about their yellow plastic toy soldiers having imaginary penises. Seethe some more.
But think about it… penis guns. Seems fitting for an Orgryn since I’m assuming their schlongs are probably the size of Hafthor Bjorson’s forearm
I’m torn because the penis is evil but the gun is good.
It’s not evil if it’s for the Emperor
Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne, penises for the penis gun.
