Fatshark: Crafting rework and Penances overhaul by the end of the month

[Archon Dagoth]

This was their promise in today's post. Thoughts?

EDIT: Penance rework by eom, crafting rework later.

EDIT 2: No updates by end of the month, it was just an announcement of an announcement really:

Messaggio originale di Fatshark:

Our first update will focus on a comprehensive revamp and expansion of the penance system, including adding many additional rewards and a completely new way to earn them. We will be sharing more information on this update by the end of the month along with a dev blog,

Announcing an announcement. Like releasing a teaser for a movie teaser.

Messaggio originale di JagdPanzer IV:

Everyone complaining is ignoring the fact that fatshark is STILL updating, optimizing and adding content to Vermintide 2.

Yes, but the issue is that the process is somehow even worse in DT than in VT2 after >5 years.

Be patient, you all complained when they delayed Darktide to make a better product, soo they rushed it out and you STILL COMPLAINED.

DT was delayed at least 2 times and the developers are still adding the finishing touches for it to be a true 1.0 product ~16 months later so there really isn't any excuse.

Stop calling it a promise. None of this is a promise, they are merely sharing their own plans. These plans still may change throughout the year. Its perfectly possible that some of the stuff wont even come this year.

I'd wager that the next update drops late April with a mission, a stack of Penances and some new weapons picked from the pile that has been growing in the files for a while now before FS takes a break and figures out the rest for August and November release dates.

Did people complain about it being delayed?

Yes, everyone was complaining when fatshark announced delays because they admitted the game was unfinished. They gave a date and had to release before that date because people kept complaining.

Correct. People misinterpret everything they say. I know it can be vague at times, but if you take it as it is written, there are zero promises made by Fatshark in their post.

After having to not deal with the RNG crap with weapons on Helldivers, it's going to be hard to tolerate it on Darktide even if they overhaul it.

Messaggio originale di Khloros:

Literally all they needed to do, was pick up the system from VT2, and port it into DT. Thats it, thats all people wanted and needed, they never needed this stupid stat system, or this horrible grindy blessing system.

Fatshark in their infinite wisdom, or lack there of, completely reinvested the wheel here, when no one wanted it and ended up making a massive turd.

Vermintide's crafting also sucks. Unless you are talking about the one for weaves.

So in the beta they said crafting was so done and ready to be added, then at launch they said they actually have to make the crafting, and now after a year long hot fix update, they're now ready to remake crafting. What?

The reason they keep revising everything they said previously is because they don't want to be sued

This crap of a game came out unfinished and if they admitted it was an unfinished mess they would be sued and probably taken off Steam and had tons of pre-orders be cancelled

But they have to lie and pretend everything is finished so they keep getting their slimey hands filled with money for their executives and employees on vacation. How many times have we been through this?
-Solo mode
-Crafting
-Talent Trees
-Blessings
-How to acquire/buy weapons
-End-game rewards

And the list goes on. I'm shocked anybody has hope or believes this company because they have a big fat mouth that keeps on talking and they never deliver. Only talk about delivering. I'm so upset at them right now.

Oh and actually. I'm not. The game will be perfect next week lol

They did admit it was unfinished when they delayed the launch, and you *impatient* people complained just like youre doing now. complainers didnt want to wait, complainers complain because they forced the devs to release unfinished. complain complain.

[Dr. Merkwürdiglieben]

The people here are never happy.

1. No communication.
2. (Legit) complains about crafting (and blessings).
3. No content.

Now they communicate, promise to address crafting & blessings and will add new content,
in form of maps, weapons and more...

And still there is more complaining.

If I was FS I would shut the game down....

Messaggio originale di GARFIELF:

Crafting rework should have been done way earlier, it's been the biggest gripe veteran players have had since day one.

Yeah, pretty much this. Crafting was the biggest cancer in this game. IDK, why they didnt use a system like VT2.

They gave at least 4 dates and didn't exactly make any of them.

In July 2021 Fatshark announced that due to difficulties arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the release date would be pushed back from 2021 to spring 2022. The release date was again pushed back to 13 September 2022 in an announcement which was accompanied by a new trailer. A further delay pushing the release back to 30 November 2022 for Windows was later announced.

No one seems that upset in this thread announcing the delay to September 2022:

Or this thread announcing the delay to November 2022:

Might be your imagination that "Everyone complained".

"Promise" to adress crafting and blessings. Like they promised so many things. lmao

If people keep making false promises, you are a fool if you keep believing them.
