## Rejects, We are establishing these Comm-Links, which we will use to keep you all updated on news and changes you can expect to see in the short term. Last week we saw the release of [Patch 1.0.22](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/patch-notes-1-0-22/73946), shortly followed by[Hotfix 1.0.23](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/hotfix-1-0-23/74137) and [Hotfix 1.0.24](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/hotfix-1-0-24/74486), which brought many bug fixes to penances and blessings, as well as some much-needed exploit fixes. Thank you to everyone who gave us constructive feedback on the layout and formatting of the Patch Notes! We’ll be sure to add these ideas where possible in Patch Notes going forward. Over the course of the next week we will be releasing Patch 1.0.25, which will focus on fixes for issues with talents, traits and some tweaks to weapons for balancing. Full Patch Notes will be available on Steam and the Darktide Forums shortly after the patch goes live. Following Patch 1.0.25 we will also publish a Dev Blog, which will take a deeper dive into crafting and talk about some of the challenges we have had. We’ll also be digging into topics surrounding acquiring items, including the Armoury Exchange and Sire Melk’s Requisitorium! ---

I’m sure CF is as happy as we are to be able to share this information. I’m excited to see the dev blogs and continued work on bugs/QoL. It doesn’t excuse it, but I think the fervor from the community is because we want Darktide to succeed and it has such amazing potential. I for one will be looking forward to the day that I can update my Steam review to Recommend. ---

If it is at all possible to lift the perk locking upon refining one perk during one of these hotfixes, it’d really help lift some people’s sour moods. ---

I just wondering what makes a priority: - Fixing game-crippling bugs Or - Fixing insignificant exploits ? Or there is some kind of queue in to-do-list that followed based resources allocation and priorities? ---

@FatsharkCatfish Thanks for the comms! Even if, once again, the promise of any concrete information is… next week 😛 **I will once again ask FatShark to do these very simple bandaid fixes** , while we wait for reworked crafting and Armoury. If 1.0.25 hits with zero concessions to crafting costs and the absurd low quality of both Armoury and Melk… I think that will demonstrate that FatShark have no intention of ever stepping away from the absurd siloed grind and the worse-than-national-lottery RNG. No matter what you communicate, no matter what you say, if you can’t implement 30 minute bandaids to the current systems in the game… then why should we believe that you will ever make this game more consumer-friendly? **1. Adjust crafting costs dramatically down and/or dramatically increase drop rates in missions** **2. Adjust the number range in the Armoury to make it only drop 350-380 stuff once you hit level 30 (If possible and very easily done, increase the number of items per hour)** **3. Adjust Melk rewards at least fourfold, and make the items in Melk store have a range of 370-380** ---

This is the kind of thing I was hoping for. I can wait if it means I know what’s going on, and what the plan is - even if things are coming out slower than I’d like. Great first step, I hope it holds up. ---

I assume it’ll be a mixture, as there’ll be different people working on different things. There’s probably dependencies in there too ---
