Patch #17 Notes - Live Now!

[Mezmorki]

Well, this is a good start to addressing the first bullet item on my hypothetical wishlist (I.e. fixing some critical bugs):

Stepping back for a bit... and feedback for Fatshark

For posterity, I’m going to post a quick dream list of what I’d do with the game: Fix current bugs + issues (obviously). Sound, music during ambushes, etc. Add new crafting options to mitigate RNG (as proposed in the OP). Doesn’t require totally throwing away the entire item model to just add options. This could include a prestige point system for leveling up beyond 30 that expands your crafting powers. Add the ability to trade items + resources with other players in the Morningstar …

Two questions @FatsharkStrawHat @FatsharkCatfish :

1. Why do you allow the lack of communication to fester like an open wound on these forums and other channels? If you knew that a patch was coming out that was 95% focused on bug fixes, for the love of holy terra SAY THAT. The lack of communication is driving the community crazy and sending your player count into the toilet.

2. Please, please, please be more proactive in communicating about what’s next. Bug fixes aside, no one has any clue what’s in store for the future of this game. There hasn’t been a peep about any more substantive updates (content wise), commencement of any sort of live service type features (seasons, events, more penances etc), and of course nothing about improvements to the bugbear that is crafting. I know I’m screaming into the wind here, but something needs to happen to give the community some confidence that Darktide still has a future.
