An Update on Itemization

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Announcements

Important information on the upcoming Itemization rework

The release of Secrets of the Machine God is just around the corner, and while we are excited to have you get your hands on it, we also suspect many of you might be expecting itemization to be part of this update. Unfortunately, this will not be the case.

After internal and external testing, we’ve decided the itemization rework isn’t where we want it to be for release this month. We’ve been reading your threads and taking the feedback on. The consensus being this rework should not be rushed. And we agree.

Now, itemization is slated to release after summer. We are making progress. During this time, we’re also looking at expanding the feedback loop on this rework, and will be including more players outside our core-testers.

To get more details, we are working on a dev blog on itemization to give you more insights into the work we’ve carried out so far.

We look forward to sharing more information about itemization and will keep working with the community to shape the upcoming itemization rework.

I’m expecting this to be a lie. Really hope to be proven wrong.

Oh boy. After summer. That means October at the earliest, doesn’t it?

Oh and you’re still working on those dev blogs, huh?

Wow.

So you’re going to release a single new map for summer. And weapons. Into the current god-awful crafting system. And you’re not even turning off the locks for the summer.

Fatshark, you are beyond inept.

Itemisation as in the rework, not the full patch.

So the maps and weapons still are expected for the 25 I think

Which does beg the question on when that will get it’s dev blog

Disappointing, was hoping the terrible RNG crafting system was gonna be fixed in the upcoming update.

Oh well, at least we have new weapons and new map.

Wish you said this sooner, but glad it has been said.

Glad to hear it. Get @brosgw in there, he’s in a unique position where he’s heard a ton of people’s complaints, and what they like, about crafting over his time running the crafting memorial.

You’ve been working on it for 27 days :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
