Still no hellgun, still no melta, release cycle for live service game too low, quality of content borderline still lackluster (e.g. clipping issues of cosmetics f.e.) game is still badly optimised aswell.

Secrets of the Machine God is a free update coming to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on the 25th June. It will include a new mission where players get to explore a derelict Mechanicus research station in Atelium Foundryplex Omega V. There will be new weapons, introducing the iconic bolt pistol, Ogryn pickaxes, shockmauls, and a new shotgun. In addition, there will be an in-game event pilot – Hestia’s Decollation Crusade – where players will be tasked with destroying the heads of swarms of heretics and gain in-game currencies.

It's free at least, I think there would've been murder otherwise.

I wonder if that's just a taste of what's coming? There was a note about it being dependent upon testing.

Given Summer is right around the corner, I am not holding my breath for anything more beyond this for the next three to six months.

Fair, I was just meaning more that we might see weapons as a staggered release.

Update dropped today. Event on Thursday for simply using the weapons.

I'm not horribly impressed. They have wasted an opportunity to add more class-specific gear in favor of more crap for all 3 humans and a token add for the Ogryn.

The teaser trailer with the two veterans talking didn't help either, everybody was expecting radium weapons because of the burned hands and headaches and the company rep was quick in the comments to shoot these comments down and state that nope, we're just getting more.. plasma guns. 😒

What a fething ongoing gakshow this is.

Honestly, I LIKED that the veterans weren't like "yaaaawn, plasma". It's supposed to be rare!

... how often do i need to verify the bloody data obese fish?

New 2900 Aquila cosplay bundles. This week is Enforcers!

Psyker outfit was kind of disappointing, though the loudspeaker for a mouth option was pretty disturbing and very 40K.

I got into Darktide fairly recently and have to say, the core game is really good. Just a shame the servers are so bad.

I probably had my best ever game last night, playing Auric Heresy as a gunslinger Ogryn, I killed two demonhosts and a chaos spawn all *in the same game*, only for my game to crash five minutes later. So frustrating!

Oh, and the crafting system needs some serious work. The RNG makes it nigh on impossible to get the build you want without investing hundreds of hours just so you can collect all of the blessings for each character and roll a few good scoring weapons (350+). This means unless you're a hardcore player putting in the hours, the replayability is not so good, as I have a few level 30 characters with weapons sets that I can't afford to upgrade.

Colour me surprised, they're actually doing more updates now.. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/itemization-rework-q-a-part-1-dev-blog/97316

Yay?

Uh oh, granpas grumpy with us.

Anyways, nothing a boltgun can't handle

Heh..




An update SO hyped that it has a notification attached to it! Airs tomorrow.

Just hoped back on this game after a while not playing, the new system sure seems lovely in terms of being able to get what you want, at least so far, I really like mark swapping on the fly if you want to experiment like that. So far so good.

Arbites update is a comin’ cybermastiff looks suitably bitey

https://www.playdarktide.com/news/darktide-new-class-reveal-arbites

New class is paid dlc for 12 bucks, story going to be improved with a option for us experienced players to go through it as if we were new, and difficulty will be tied to beating missions instead of level.

I’m wondering what will happen to the extra character slot we’ve had for a while, some people made a fifth character already which would have to be deleted if they want to play the new class they just paid for.

Also, I do appreciate how the previous event with the radio operators sort of got followed up by with this update as the nuncio Aquila broadcasting propaganda is a new thing the new class can use. A bit of a stretch I know, but I like to think it was foreshadowing.

12 bucks ontop of a fomo market for cosmetics, broken promises in regards to classes and nothing substantial for the last half year?

wow, this is useless.

While I agree with the other two points, I sorta disagree with the classes promise. They initially said new classes every quarter, but then went and made the skill trees making each class more like three classes each with common traits. Vermintide had 4 bucks per class, and since it’s a given the new class will have three subclasses in it, I can see how the pricing was decided.

The micro transactions and the lack of meaningful updates is stupid though, and I’m hoping the revamp to how missions are selected and story/progression will address the meaningful updates part a little bit.

Be glad the microtransactions are ONLY for cosmetics. We could be paying for respecs, items, and gear.

Still no single player, bunch of fethers.

I think that every time I load into a map, just to go right to the "you've failed the emperor" screen and have to load back out immediately and start the process all over again. And maybe even go right back into a mission that's already failed again! Fun!

The upside to that is that its always funny to watch the Ogryn count his fingers in the load screen.

Agreed, every once in a while I hop back in and when I manage to get in, most games are ruined by speed runners for me still. There are mods, but the devs spend more time breaking mods than giving us what was promised, the gits.

There are dogs running around without leashes everywhere now... Its a madhouse.

I haven't dove into the Arbites class yet, been having fun mowing hordes down with my Recon Lasgun as I level up my Veteran. I did mess around in character creation to try to build the most haggard and ruthless looking Arbites that I could get.

And because I hate money, I bought the new Inquisitorial outfits for my Zealot and Veteran. I like the outfit I have for my Ogryn, and the new outfit for the Psyker looks too similar to what is already available.

I like how the in game story has a sort of explanation for why every squad is just arbiters spam, it’s a hostile takeover, of course the arbiters stick to each other at the start and there’s a lot of them, as time goes on and people play other classes it’s just more arbiters dying and finally opening up to the rejects. A little bit of head canon to grease the wheels, sure, but I think it’s neat.
