This is my biggest concern atm. The penance system itself seems more than fine…perhaps even…good?
I still would have liked weapon mastery penances that award weapon skins. It’s possible that they are nestled in there, as individual penances can give cosmetics not tied to the progress bar, but I’m not sure how likely it is.
Doesnt seem there’s a section for weapons.
Would be another way to get me to try out other weapons.
lmao, their dev screenshot doesn’t have like a four leaf clover yet. Shows how much these guys test their game.
Good stuff for the most part. But… are they worth of all this waiting? All these dry months? Frag NO!
Also why the bloody hell penances rework system got prioritised over the crafting one?
Ps. FS, just admit that even this penance rework won’t be ready at late April. Say late May and don’t embarrass yourselves yet again.
I take it the last six months have been spent on this? Sad to hear that, no new mission types, no fun endless modes, no roguelike modes like the same wastelands of chaos or plexus.
No changes to crafting for quite some time. Not only is it very, very much dependent on random, but also forces the player to spend hundreds of hours on grind. Why didn’t you take the crafting system from Vermintide 2, where these cool things are red with maximum stats? Why no common inventory of weapons, why complicate the game for players and force them to buy things that other characters already have?
No new classes as I understand it are not planned at all?
Bosses twins very interesting and entertainingly made, why do not add more similar and complex bosses with interesting mechanics?
I am silent about weapon customization, which you promised before the release of the game.
Why do modders have to finish a lot of QoL features for you.
Why are there no analogs of heroic deeds?
It’s like you don’t care about the game and its players.
New puzzles, challenges, and collectibles: we are adding several puzzles across Tertium Hive for players to discover and solve.
Does this mean we’re getting fixed locations for grimoires and scriptures again?! Hunting these down and solving all sorts of complicated puzzles was my absolute favorite part about Vermintide 2! XD
This all sounds nice and all, but the one single thing that thas has kept me from playing the game for over a year now, remains to get changed.
But i take this as a good sign, to hopefully getting meaningful changes to the abysmal gacha craftin.
Changes to Crafting already got announced, so hopefully these will arrive sooner than later.
Because honestly, new penances, skill trees etc. are of no interest to me, as long as certain weapons and curios are just sitting in my inventory, mocking me.
The next update after this, according to the previous what’s coming up in darktide post, is going to be changes to crafting. They’ve been very careful to not leak a single upcoming change in that regard though
Hm for me personally this is really negelectable but the penance track looks like the basis for a season/battlepass system and giving me the shivers. Not in a good way!
Nice, I’ll be all over this.
Are you speaking of Heresy? We all know a certain change is not permitted within the Imperium.
As someone who have done almost all the penances except the 1mill kills and some of the do 250 of each mission type penance I am looking forward to hunt down more penances until we get more updates, this gives me a reason to keep playing, can’t wait.
Looks nice, looking forward to this.
I go to sleep and wake up to this. It finally happened. 
Let’s hope that this isn’t delayed!
This is a nice change. Been wanting to change my Ogryns voice forever. 
Jeez you put those all side by side and my brain just connects it all.
…
I mean, you kinda gotta admit, you connect these things and… you know.
Oh well, any progress is progress ay! Lets be optimistic! Heres to the future!
Let’s wait next patch…
I did not like penances…
Where is this?? - Attachments and customisation:
The Devs were going to originally implement this. However, it seems like they could still implement it and flag the paint colours and weapon parts that someone has already purchased with Aquila currency as usable in the customisation system and lock the rest behind a paywall, achievements, commissary.
This needs to be applied to outfits as well, but with more granulation i.e. Helmet, goggles, lower face mask, not just the whole head as one piece.
I really hope they pull the trigger on this, there’s so much room for players to get the customisation they want and the devs to make money and keep the game alive.
Everyone wins on this Fatshark, even your publisher.
PS - Half baked cosmetics with remixes of existing assets leave a sour taste in your mouth when you’ve spent as much as I have on Aquilas and you’re waiting for something new and thematic to 40k to throw them at.
I’m happy we are finally getting all this stuff, but I think it’s sad that it has taken THIS LONG to get what the characters are wearing on the TITLE SCREEN OF THE GAME IN THE ACTUAL GAME.
Anyways final take is that this is some good foundation work, but will only really start to be appreciated once there is a lot more content to start playing the game again.
Good, interesting. But not yet interested again.
Summon thee when item acquisition is changed.
Thank you fatshark, im really excited for this update.
All good stuff. No real issues there…
Just waiting to hear on the important part. The itemization system.
