The pace of development is so frustrating because it feels like they have something so close to greatness and they are squandering the chance they have.

Like you can see the love that went into this game. The core gameplay is so good.

This is the true fatshark experience.

V2 will keep its legs I think, but Darktide is going to face some heavy competition soon with coop/horde shooters. Space Marine 2, Remnant 2, Helldivers 2, Payday 3 are all currently still slated for 2023

I'm hoping that there will be something interesting in the next few months, after going on a vacation with no PC for 3+ weeks I'm not exactly itching to play until the next big content drop.

Of those games only Payday 3 and Hell Divers 2 is anywhere near to being the same genre (replayable horde co-op shooter with progression mechanics) imo, outside of the being co-op part.

Good news for those waiting btw: Remnant 2 is loving awesome, highly recommend picking it up. Great solo or with friends.

It helps to hit heads and not having to think about it helps even more, just chop looking straight forward

Absolutely not true lol. It affects your hitbox (which matters more for hiding behind things specifically) and how high your viewpoint is off the ground. Not sure where you read that info.

Max height humans can line up heads without much aiming, min height humans need to look upa significant amount to the point it's kind of a pain. Max height Ogryn can have trouble with enemies right up on them, you can literally swing over something's head if you're too close lol.

Rejects, This is Catfish, Darktide Community Manager, here with another comm-link update.

The comms team is back from its break and so are comm-links! Due to the summer hiatus, this edition will be shorter than usual. We will also have a slower pace of Comm-links for the foreseeable future, to make way for more varied types of comms, such as dev blogs.

Here is what you can expect for the coming weeks on Darktide:

On August 3rd, we will publish a Dev Blog focusing on upcoming changes in Patch #12 (1.1.20), giving you an in-depth look at our plans for account based currencies, perk refinements, adjustments to crafting locks and options on the mission board.

In the first half of August we will be releasing Patch #12 alongside its patch notes.

See you next week for the Dev Blog!

Sounds like some changes the community really yelled for, but no new content until earliest end of august.

My hopes for the updates:

-allow players to view each other's loadouts on the pre-mission screen; allow solo-queue folks the opportunity to swap characters when they join a group that already has their class

-let players reroll locked item stats/perks for a diamantine fee

-where is that battlecry feature, dammit

-remove difficulties as a factor from the mission board - you pick the map+modifiers from what's available, but difficulty is decided by the host

-more trinket slots/locations - lemme wear bolter shells as ogryn earrings, or sport a fashionable detached cyborg eye from my backpack

It's a mod. The devs even recorded a bunch of voicelines for it and most of the functionality but for some reason just left the modders to actually activate it. Other players without the mod can even hear you using it.

Also it's especially funny with the Loner Psyker because they either say "For the Emperor" extremely sarcastically or cheer about how they're still alive.

If "getting spammed by voicelines" was the reason for not implementing it as a base feature, letting non-modded players hear it too is certainly... a choice.

It doesn't even spam a lot. It doesn't play if you use it too soon after playing it and it gets overwritten/quieted by other voicelines.

The Loner Psyker has multiple voice lines calling the Emperor "the Carrion Lord" and I'm wondering how that isn't over the line to getting a bullet in his incomparable mind. I use Male Loner Psyker, I love it, I'm just saying I'm pretty sure that's what Chaos Marines call the Emperor.

The Female Loose Cannon Vet has some very Khorne-y lines that have had anyone I'm playing with and myself going "uh excuse me?"

There's probably some solid reasons why the Rejects were on that prison ship lol

a Zealot voice screams "blood for the God Emperor, skulls for the golden throne" on charge

this job is a way for the inquisitor to combine getting the PCs killed and briefly inconveniencing the Ruinous Powers. Interrogator Badhaircut was probably given a polite nod from his boss for having the idea.

I was listening to a Kill Team podcast, and apparently this is the Pre-heresy battlecry of the War Hounds (before they became the World Eaters, who's Battle cry is Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for The Skull Throne, Milk for the Khorne Flakes :v:).

This was in a recentish Heresy book, so this is most definitely retconning the World Eater's Battlecry, which is a bit rubbish.

It's probably not a retcon and more supposed to be a fun reference, considering how much dialogue there is of really niche Warhammer lore bits the various classes will bring up.

I've heard, in no particular order:

-the felinid abhumans (aka catgirls/catboys) get referenced by the male dreamer
-bodyguard Ogryn mention the space marine acid spit

And some others I don't remember off the top of my head. Someone at Fatshark is clearly a fan of the silly lore in the universe
