Community Update #1: Pre-Order Beta Hotfix 1.0.6

Rejects, It’s been just over 24 hours since we’ve opened the gates to Tertium - and we’ve already had one Hel of a time together. Since launching the pre-order beta, you have eliminated 314,264,113 heretics, while 634,640 rejects have fallen in service to the Emperor! Many of you might need to brush up on those numbers if you want to continue to earn your keep aboard the Mourningstar. For now, you’ve earned your rations for the day. Now, real talk: We have carefully monitored the launch and lea…

Now we are confident in our Dedicated Servers, we would like to take the time and answer those recurring couple of questions that remain; “Can I play Darktide solo?”, “Can I play a private game with one or two of my friends?”.

The answers will be Yes, and Yes.

We’ve been working on an option to play exclusively in Solo Mode, where you will be hosting locally your own instance with bots. Because you will be hosting the AI and other game systems locally, this will increase performance cost. However, we continue to monitor and improve the performance where we can. 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.

This is unambiguous. This is what they said would happen. It did not. They lied. Regardless of their reasons, this was a lie. I don’t care if the hard drive containing the source code combusted, I don’t care if you suddenly uncovered some heretofore-unseen bug that makes it impossible (LMAO tell the Solo Mode modders that), I don’t care if John Tencent Himself descended from his cloud of shareholder value and told you to stop working on it - if you 180 from ‘we’re gonna either drop this on launch or right after’ to ‘uhhhhhhh NOT A PRIORITY DON’T LOOK AT IT’ with zero explanation, you were lying when you said the first thing, because you refuse to provide a reason beyond just straight lying for that to happen.
