What do you expect to see in the next content patch.
So far guaranteed:
Veteran keystones and tree rework (mentioned in the patch 14 patch notes)
Probably:
New mission to do with rescuing wormwood (latest Vox cast has morningstar offering her an extraction)
Pc gamers pearls (they did say it was coming in the coming weeks)
Very unlikely:
Genestealer cult enemy faction added (just that every darktide content creator all taking about it right now is just strange)
Hopefully but pretty much impossible:
2-3 new missions
Flash missions finally added
Fully armoured kasrkin(with visored helmet pls), scion set or cadian set
New guns (hot shot volley gun and auto cannon pls)
The weapon modification system actually gets used.
Main thing I want elite horde modifiers that just replace all small guys with elites or armoured elites like in the melee only no ammo pick up missions.
Modify all the skill trees so they are more like zealots as in you can actually make a variety of builds work that can be mixed in the middle and still feel good.
Buff range ogryns tree so they are on par with the immortal tank builds instead of just picking defence and still shooting everything.
I think that’s a good list. I hope they are working on some sort of system to add story/campaign related stakes to missions. I can’t guess what it might look like though.
No way man she is dead as dirt. Probably a mission involving her but she is most likely a nurgle goo pile now.
Really biggest things I’m hoping for is getting rid of the Surge Empowered Psionics buff and also apparently Rampage is bugged rn and is giving damage and power, not just power. If that is the case and if it is fixed, that has some massive ramifications for weapon balance and I hope it is adjusted accordingly
Even after a year I’m still invested in atoma, I want to see what unfolds in an actual story. I get the premise is you’re a reject get sent to die doing operator stuff until you eventually prove your worth and join the warband but that should only be chapter 1 they need to follow up the story from the point of being apart of the warband and becoming more involved in the great events with atoma.
Specifically, a mission with either a new biome or objective would be especially welcome. Fatshark did very well with the implementation of those two things in Vermintide 2’s maps.
every time the stream or interact with the community as a group there’s an endless stream of weridos wanting a genestealer cult. they respond to them to keep form from gettung unruly and the weirdos act like it proves it’s going to happen. we’re not going to get genestealers, we haven’t even gotten higher-ranking cultist forces yet.
at the end of the month we will get the first years anniversary of the game, we can expect something at this point.
about the genestealer, honestly all the vox and line in the game point in this sense. something stalking from shadow to shadow and follow a scent, not nurggle thing… one of the mourning star annoucement talk of xeno sighted in perditas district, etc…
do it will come with patch 15? probably not, but it’s deffinitivly coming
more mission is needed… that a fact, like more weapon and maybe a new class, but at this point we don’t know when all of this will drop.
until they make an official announcement the best guess is we are send to save wyrmwood and meet what she did found, but what she did found don’t scream nurggle, nurggle dont send assassin… it don’t need to do that… even the cultist don’t have this sort of unit that follow with a scent. all in all, we will know soon enough…
about people saying they can’t add genestealer, it’s the simplest of the xeno to add to the game without changing the plot a looot. and like said mourning star announcement talk of the xeno sighted… not daemon sighted. and it don’t need to be a full faction, it can be small incursion like a group of elite that spawn there and there. like an event, creating a three way conflict.
people don’t really ask for genestealer, it’s only all the sign point in this direction… personally i will like to have more daemon and such, still want my nurgling invasion ^^. about the cultist what you want to add more? we already get covered in all direction… the only thing that can be added are vehicule at this point… what will not happend the map are not means to have vehicule. and we don’t really have any weapon that will deal with this sort of enemy.
at this point exept more daemon for the cultist i don’t see them add anything. and it’s time for them to add more content, the game is 1 years old at the end of the month… they did bring the game into a good position, now they need to add content, people will not remain to play if they don’t do something.
Yeah I don’t expect them to be as expanded as the heretics scavs and dregs
As said a lot of their units can just be a reskin of existing heretics
Genestealer cultists both reskined melee scavs and shooters
aberrants Reskined ogyrns
Ect ect
Only things that will be different are genestealers themselves.
As said they aren’t going to be a full faction it wouldn’t make sense with the plot, the morningstar is ordo hereticus they aren’t going to go out of their way to deal with them over the immediate chaos threat.
It would just a be a cool mission condition that can randomly happen and cause Cool 3way fights.
You expect all of those from a single patch? Why do you purposefully set your expectations so unreasonably high?
It’s two things of that list. At most.
