New lightning VFX without blinding blur would be nice

It took me a while to formulate this without sounding too harsh.
First: This should have been way earlier. Having a health hazard in your product for this long was frankly indefensible. Good that it got fixed.
Second: I assume there will not be another content drop this month, as your devs will likely go on their deserved vacations over the holidays. When can we expect the product we paid for, and are you considering a compensation for the people you sold an incomplete and partly broken product to?
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but itâs been three weeks since release, and so far, nobody from your side has really admitted how badly your company has screwed this up. Iâm not trying to point fingers, but itâs reached a point where the lack of communication is almost comical.
Weâre frustrated as a community. We paid money for a product we did not receive. And in the end, we are only asking that you people are honest with us, which so far, you have not been.

Well, psyker quell bug needs to be fixed ASAP.
Itâs not devs that are screwing this up. Itâs their producers (the ones managing timelines and dev sprints). Theyâre under pressure from investors, and essentially the producers said go to market with half-baked cookies.
Wait, thatâs not right, even I enjoy half-baked cookies.

I wonder when we will receive remaining craft mechanics, Arenât they were promisedl in December?
No. Youâll get them when you get them. Given that FS probably realized the approach they were going to take toward crafting was bad, theyâre probably starting over from scratch and canât properly estimate it well enough to give us a projection.

Thatâs why I said the devs deserve their holidays, because they definitely do. The problem isnât the devs, they clearly care about the game. You can tell by just looking at it. My question was more directed at the people responsible than it was at the developers, although if theyâd chime in to shed some light as to what is the problem, that would of course be welcome too. As for them starting from scratch: They should communicate that. Youâll get them when you get them is not tolerable when you already paid for what youâll get.

Indeed, the devs are clearly not the one to blame here. They gave us an ungodly amount of updates in rapid succession for several weeks already
Itâs clear that they are working like hell to deliver everything they can. I am disappointed at the decision making and the poor priorities made by the people on top of them, not the dev team themselves

How is the approach to crafting bad ? Can you elaborate ?
I mean we havenât seen it in its entirety yet.
If your claim is based on the single perk re-roll, then Iâd say it is the loot/rewards system +rng store that is currently broken. If we get enough rewards, single perk re-roll is not really any obstacle for anyone to chase their âgod-rollsâ.
I am not sure how much you know about blessing upgrade/transfer, I do not know much beside what FS wrote in a devblog personally, but to me it seems pretty reasonable.

But it wasnt the community that assumed weâd get more content in December. It was Fatshark who said weâd get the rest of the crafting system, gradually, over the course of the month. That was after theyâd said that the missing weapons and content would be dripfed over the course of the âbeta,â even though - just like then - weâre getting one partial content drop, some hotfixes, and then nothing.
If I say Iâm gonna pay you before the end of the month, and weâre getting closer and closer to January, and every time you ask me about the money I just straight up ghost you, youâre right to be frustrated and hold me accountable.

This. It was stated in the post during Preorder Beta:
In closing, we hope you enjoyed this look into Darktideâs crafting system. We are excited to bring you the rest of the crafting features, which weâll gradually be rolling out throughout December. And we look forward to building upon this system in the future.
Iâd look forward to them actually keeping up their word for once.
In b4 they edit the blogpost again to remove that sentence. Should I maybe have taken a screenshot instead lol?

I would give them a pass on this and be more understanding of the issues the game is going through if it was not for the fact that we already did this little song and dance with VT2.

I wonder how long it will take til the day when i see that they finally fixed âGPU related crashesâ. Itâs been 5 weeks since EA beta and i keep crashing in missions constantly. I tried all they proposed and nothing worked. Tho iâm sure that iâll see a lot of new skins for characters in shop in a waiting period of time, thatâs surely more important than game stability.

To be fair, that sentence does not imply it will not continue to gradually be rolled out over january and february as well 
We know theyâre working their @$$es off to get this project theyâve slaved over for years now in a favorable light, I hope they donât burn out, and take the time they need to enjoy the holidays with their families.
Darktide will still be there come new year, and so will everyone who bought it already, salty or not.
