New Event: Communication Breakdown!

Seeing lots of reports of it not showing up. Ditto for me. Played a mission, logged a few times.

@FatsharkKitefin is this a known issue?

EDIT: oh wait nevermind! I found it! I was looking for a skull and star, but the icon is sideways so I was missing it. I’ve got mine!

It’s there, the thumbnail is just lovingly turned sideways and there’s no yellow circle so it’s easy to miss

they could insert a pic for what it looked like just as reference

I don’t know how the inventory rendering works. But I’m pretty sure it’s not just a static image though. My guess is the orientation of this charm is off in the code.

logged in today, will see tomorrow. seems a very generous giveaway.

Must say that I feel a little disappointed…
But they made Havoc and Mortis Trial… must be also the reason why I am disappointed. Nothing for me.
Mortis Trial is so arcade… Havoc is so bestial (and I hate it so much)…
Well let’s hope for something in september.

Next quarterly release should be in June/July.

Yes, I know… But in June I will play Dune, and I have no hope that they will deliver something aimed at the public I am part of.

Tbh, I just want solo game mode.

You might also want to check if you really wanted to name it “Koronos Charm” and not “Koronus Charm”.

Are there any optimizations being made for xess2 and fsr4? How much longer do we have to wait

Can you please extend this event because of how terrible it is to participate?

This is by far your worst event yet; Enemies are difficult to find, and most of the time I’m only ever finding one or two at most. And if someone is dumb, or trolling, they can pick up the unit and not use it.

Dumb, trolling or doesn’t read the forum.

Because there’s absolutely no ingame explanation at all on the mechanisms of this event.

it doesnt take from the confusion that the radio operator isnt needed to optain the radio thingie, which is a fixed pickup on each map.

so if you found 3 for example on relay station, they’ll be in the same place next time, be quick enough in your playthrough and chances are radio operator wont even spawn near you :man_shrugging:

@FatsharkKitefin @FatsharkStrawHat Question : i see that comm’ objective outside of the dedicated event maps, we can agree to say that secondary objective is gonna stay after the end of the event, right ?

Because we said it many times we need more permanent content, the last big update was ok at best ; Mortis is fun yes but after 5 games or more it lacks replayability unlike the regular mode, Havoc was and still is very niche for that small pourcentage of hardcore players. The only best part of this update for everyone was the Ogryn overall (which i am grateful for our big men).

I don’t know what, you, Fatshark have in store for June/July (let’s hope Maps, Weapons and even better new Class !) but in the meantime you should let some of your event like Moebian 21th, More Ogryn or that small secondary objective here to be permanent modifiers for regular and auric missions, not just Havoc.
That way we can grind our teeths with these small adds and you can keep working on your bigger update without starving too much your remaining playerbase.

I wish, but I think their content pipeline has been established now as

  1. make modifier for an event
  2. remove it again because god forbid the board has variety
  3. add it as a havoc modifier
  4. rotate the havoc modifier out later
  5. …in order to rotate it back in even later

Unfortunately they give 0 shits about the actual gameplay experience here and instead follow their lame little live service fomo model to a T

Since there isn’t a forum post dedicated to it, I thought I’d put this heads up for anyone who thought they missed this here:

The “Koronos” Charm granted to celebrate the Darktide x Rogue Trade bundle (on all platforms) can still be received right now.

I just logged into my alt account for the first time since April 16th and got it. No notification, the icon is still sideways, and the text on the official site is still not updated to reflect that you didn’t have to login on April 30th (@FatsharkKitefin) (Edit: it has been updated! Thanks Kitefin!), but it’s still available. I imagine for as long as the bundle is live.

I just logged in to play the event and it is supposed to still be active, but the event condition has been removed from the maps already. It’s supposed to still be active for another 95 minutes
