Is this…an actually good communication from FS? Doesn’t sound like PR hell, actually addressing some things, giving hope, crafting soon™?
I really hope it is not going to be some lame “lore” excuses.
FS convinced GW to let them turn Kruber into a Grail Knight. They know how to rules lawyer like absolute champs if they want to.

any news on PC crossplay between steam and gamepass? I had to restart on gamepass to play with friends because they were on the fence about the game so decided to wait but I played vermintide so I bought it to play early on steam. So now I have 8 characters after I gave up on waiting for crossplay after 2 months.

We want cross-platform Steam and Gamepass. The player base in Gamepass is so low we can hardly fill lobby in high difficulty pub game.
I wait for “next week” to see what we will get. Thank you for the post.
I continue to be worried to not see crafting coming. I hope it won’t last 6 month the waiting to get it.
What about the solo mode?
It’s not been mentioned for a while and was supposed to be delivered in december also.
I know some of us considered it a condition for purchasing the game and only trusted the product (and FS) and purchased DT due to the official statement about the solo mode being worked on and due to december 2022.
Any news here? Still refining bots behavior/AI/loadouts/UI or is it sitting in the backburner?

A step in the right direction. Good to know what’s going on and what to expect short term.
I think the one that was supposed to be delivered and has already been delivered is the private mode. Solo mode is being actively worked on.
Well, I don’t like play solo, so that’s has not been bothering me. 
I’m guessing the toughness Regen thing was super easy to fix because they had just fixed a different bug in that perk, so they knew precisely where to edit – prob why that one jumped the queue.
Presumably they have a normal issues tracker behind the scenes?
Half of it was patting themselves on a back, quarter was telling to not expect anything this week and last paragraph is “NeXt WeEk”.
While we all know that hope is the first step on the road to disappointment, I’m looking forward to next week’s patch and more information.
This week is pretty much over anyway and you never deploy on a Friday.
Unfortunately that’s not what’s been said:
Solo play is in its final stages of testing as we fix the last issues that remain. We aim to release this at Launch. If not, a patch shortly after that in December.

FS obviously missed multiple release windows but I’m really wondering how far solo play can be.
It can help with testing things in levels, exploring without bothering anyone, managing possible latency issues, attempting true solo, etc.

“It was really hard for us to be able to release the unfinished game during the holiday season, so that the players wouldn’t notice, as at the time we still didn’t finish the crafting system even in theory - the many dangers and pitfalls of lying to the community for a quick buck”

Again You are wasting Your resources and our time on wrongly directed “improvements”.
“which will focus on fixes for issues with talents, traits, and some tweaks to weapons for balancing.”
Your player base DO NOT CARE about these problems. Your game is not PVP, we are shooting tons of AI bots. We got used to the mechanics as they currently are. These are not issues You should look into now.
What Your players are facing is:
- BORING and LIMITED content (not enough maps, non-existing mods ex. Power Outage was online for one day again (mod was fantastic) just to be turned off the next day never to appear again)
- Crafting System that is missing its KEY features,
- Crossplay feature that is missing and will save Your most royal players from dying platforms from extinction,
- Constantly decreasing player base, which is heavily impacted by a lack of new content and updates,
- Complete lack of understanding of what Your community needs at the moment and complete lack of information back and forth with Your community.
If You need help with arranging Your priorities, hit me up, or honestly anybody here or on reddit. You have everything on the plate to save Your game, yet all the things You do is sabotage work that is done by Your players for You and throw away such an amazing creature that Darktide is.
Sincerely,
One of the many Rejected voices in Your crowd

Like when you were caught patting yourself on the back for peddling a horrible unfinished gacha system designed to railroad people into a grindfest, thus massively inflating playtimes?
Things that are still not adressed (amongst a myriad of things not listed):
- Multitude of blessings and perks flat out not working
- Performance and stability issues
- Map selection
But sure, fix random recent exploits, whilst half the game is still not working correctly.
