The freezing and crashing needs to be addressed, the game is becoming unplayable. I’m freezing and crashing multiple time a round now. Errors 2001, 2016 and 2006. Over and over and over…

By what I seen of the crafting Itemization Rework dev blog, which they presented here on FS Forums, they are going to do exactly as you are describing. This will be under the “Expertise” system.
“Expertise
While the Mastery system is where a player unlocks the potential for a weapon, the Expertise system is where the players apply those changes via crafting. This is when the players create an actual relationship with the weapon. Players will be able to configure the weapon, change the Blessings or Perks, and increase the stats. Players will no longer be locked after making two changes on Perks or Blessings.
This is also when the player uses resources to make these changes happen.”
Diamantine will have a more important role in using for this Expertise crafting ability, looks like Plasteel and Ordo Dockets will also be used in the changing of weapons stats.
Mastery will be the rework of the Blessings where the “sticker book” can have blessings that are already found be unlocked already, and for any that are not attained yet, they can be unlocked by mission experience (so to say the grind is still there yet said to be “less grindy”) it makes me think of the “sticker book” as a sort of “passport” as it gives the feel of free in-game “Battle Pass” (no money or gambling RNG) much like the Hestias Blessings you earn from Penances there will be new special weapon cosmetic skins, perks, blessings, and weapon marks (variants).
I do find it very exciting as we all been dying to be able to have new weapon cosmetics skins that are obtained outside of “Commodores Vestures” premium currency shop and how this incentive of progression based on game play does not require any real life currency purchases. I am hoping that along with the “Special Weapons Cosmetics Skins” that are able to be unlocked, that they will introduce in the Commissary the ability to purchase with Ordo Dockets more simple basic color choices (no word has been said if that will occur).
On the side note @FatsharkStrawHat is there anything in the works where we will get more basic simple color pallette choices for weapons in the Commissary? The kind you purchase with Ordo Dockets? Many of the community playerbase have been asking for this to my knowledge. Aside from the Fire Wastes Camo (Red) and Ash Wastes Camo (?) (Blue-Grey or Turqoise), it can be viable to have available colors/shades like Black, Grey, White, Off White, Golden Yellow, Dark Green, Dark Blue, Purple, etc for purchase in Commissary (alongside knowing we will get special weapons cosmetics skins unlockable in the Mastery system) it also does not affect the “Commodores Vestures” as seeing how “Premium Weapons Cosmetics Skins” incorporate embellishments, elaborate details, and really cool other details with colorization done on more than just the basic part of weapons. Looking forward to whats coming soon!

Any chance we could see an update on the ps5 port release? I’ve been waiting patiently for info and I’m genuinely curious with sm2 release being just around the corner if we’ll see the port prior to or after that. And as always thanks for being such good community managers!

A fix for the crashing and the game dropping to 30 fps would be nice.
For those talking about crashes and server issues - are you playing on Steam or Xbox?

Hi! I wish I could tell you more, but I can’t at the moment. As soon as I’m allowed to talk about it, I promise that I won’t hold back!

To temper expectations, this hotfix next week will be a bit lighter as we get everyone back in the office. More fixes will be rolled into the following hotfix and the hotfixes to follow before the next update.
I’m also investigating the server issues and crashes that some players have been mentioning. If anyone having these issues could submit bug reports in the Technical Support section on the forums, it would really help us investigate it. We haven’t received many.
Edit: I changed it from bug support section to technical support section, oops!

Noted.
So lemme get this straight, currently the pace of updates looks something like this?
Next week - lightweight Hotfix from what y’all could do with half the office out of work at any given time
Some time after that - Itemization update with all the bells and whistles (and bugs lmao)
Some time after that - more hotfixes overall, chunkier ones

Yes, thank you for that! My notes:
Next week - Yes, absolutely what you said.
Until the next update (and after) - Continued hotfixes every two weeks, per usual. I’m working with the teams for more chunkier ones than we’ve had in the past as we move forward. (It wasn’t that we haven’t been fixing bugs in between updates, but they often got pushed to being added during the larger patches.) I’m compiling a list of bugs that are reported to help the team identify what bugs should be addressed in these hotfixes and I’ll keep that updated over time.
Before end of year - Two more big updates. The next one also containing Itemization and any chunkier balancing bugs.

yes to the Speed Freaks Crossover!
Event Week of Orktide Maelstroms with all Ogryn, with green Heavy Gunners and Green Ragers reskined as THE BOIS.
The music gets replaced with the Blood and Teef soundtrack and there’s a chance the comms of the mission is interrupted by an green Rager yelling WAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH and insulting you

So, StrawHat, do you think I still have a chance to get all the blessings (I’m missing 2)? By that I mean if the itemisation update will happen in September instead of August?
I’m realy sore that I didn’t finish Omnissiah work before going on my RnR…
Welcome back. I hope you had a good time.
Thanks for the news. Much appreciated.

Can we expect these hotfixes to actually fix stuff or will it be more like the usual ones, namely being mostly MTX fixes with a ‘crash’ fix thrown in that may or may not work?
You might want to communicate to the team that if they barely manage to push out 3-4 real updates a year, pushing bugfixes into those updates is the worst way to handle it. A lot of people are either frustrated or left due to some game or build breaking bug affecting them for months.

Heyo Jack,
Yes, the goal is for the hotfixes to include more bug fixes than before, etc.
As for your other point, that’s what’s been communicated to the team and what I am working to assist with moving forward. I absolutely hear you about the frustration, and I’m working to assist them with that work flow.

Just a clerical question, is that 2 updates in addition to the item overhaul?
