Suggestion to add a section for “Melk being able to hold items (3 maybe idk) for an indefinite amount of time.”

and something along the lines of:

“Upgrading weeklies to be progressive instead of having to reroll them” (or insert any other way to improve the weekly contracts here).

No CM will ever even acknowledge any of these threads. They’re pretty cowardly in that regard.

It’s ye old ‘wait and do nothing long enough until everyone forgets’ strategy.

Just earlier this thread, 60 replies above yours:

It, in fact, was acknowledged in this very same thread.

You… YOU ARE ONE OF THEM! CatFish liked your post!
(Even if it’s completely rational when approving reasonable response to a unfair statement)

At the same time, I can’t blame him for coming to this conclusion. Fatshark’s MO since Darktide launched has been to avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid conversation on the pain points which are thoroughly ruining this game.

Catfish actually responding to a post containing those issues is rare enough that I almost can’t believe it actually happened.

True, but hey, maybe it only took me 6 months to be a semi passable cm?!

Please tell the team to REMOVE THE LOCKS.

Hi,
As said in the last Comm-link, the team is continuing to discuss and review feedback in this area. When there is something more concrete to share i’ll be sure to!

I think they put into place a policy of not discussing anything coming unless it has been cemented in diamond concrete steel.

I’m pretty sure that’s why the crossplay announcement was delayed a few weeks from being announced at Skulls despite the announcement just being an announcement with no date attached. Guessing there was some slight doubt about it being completed anytime soon so they pulled the hard brake on its announcement at Skulls.

Guessing this policy was put into place because the community malded so hard over previous announcements failing to come to fruition or taking an age to come to fruition.

Honestly, probably a good idea, but I do think they need to say something about the future plans for this game at this point, the community’s hopium reserves are all shrivelled up, and average player count seems to be on the decline worse than before Skulls.

I don’t think it has to be dated or be a feature or fix in demand, but some kind of marketing suggesting this game has a big potential future would be nice. Like, the last “story marketing” we got was Vox transmission VIII published 5-6 months ago which seemed to be hinting at a new enemy type. I’d like to see some more vox transmissions, they are extremely vague which is good for Fatshark’s development difficulties, while still slowly building hype and hope.

Oh I never blamed you! You’ve always been solid. It just feels like the company itself really, really does not want to communicate with us and it’s rough.

This has been the same line we’ve been hearing for nearly 7 months… It’s getting difficult to believe there’s actually any discussion happening at all.

Manly-Manperor, I sympathise with that line of though, Eh.
But to perform on this level with what is almost, if not actual gag-order from “the brass” should be honoured…

You know what?

@FatsharkCatfish , please let me present to you The Eagle Ordinary for “acts of valour beyond what is required”.

The Eagle Ordinary

Issued to Imperial Guardsmen and other associated military personnel (Imperial Navy ranks, Officio Medicae, etc.) for acts of valour beyond what is required (but not considered extraordinary). A common jest amongst the bearers of the medal is that they are the “boring heroes” of a regiment due to the fact that they are not dead. However, those who do not possess the Eagle Ordinary respect it as a symbol of courage.

While we are at it… have no one came up with idea to place CM or CMs as an NPCs in the game?
With rank and all? That would be a little bit more immersive. Nicknames in guard or inquisition are not something out of ordinary.

See, this. This right here. This is why you’re not a bad CM.

You aren’t being allowed to do your job.

These “discussions” have, apparently, been held since January. This is the first time you said “we’ll let you know more” about class releases or a general “what on earth we’re actually doing here at Fatshark”, and we really haven’t learned more since then. It’s been a whole lot of “everybody get ready and wait” and it’s been kind of a letdown.

It feels disingenuous when you say “Maybe I’ve just been a terrible CM for six months!” You haven’t been. We all trust you when you say you can’t tell us more than we know, and that’s the problem.

You don’t respond to most of the comments or posts here because you can’t, and you can’t because your bosses won’t let you. They might say your job is to cover for them but that doesn’t mean you need to lower yourself like that in their defense.

I waited an entire year through Halo Infinite’s CMs saying the same thing, with the same huge gaps in communication and the same gag orders regarding actual content and player complaints, just for that game to also become a huge letdown and for everyone to learn that 343 Industries had been horribly mismanaged. Watching Fatshark display the same behavior has been incredibly depressing.

Yeah, its the same word salad over and over. I spoke about the
deflections a month ago. Can’t get a straight answer. Review feedback, nothing concrete. Just say you wont remove the locks. It’s clear that the team doesn’t want to for whatever reason.

It would be nice to have an explanation as to why you can’t remove them. That will never happen either I suppose.

Honestly the worst part is that because of this very thread, we know where the gag orders are.

“I have a similar table of issues that I maintain myself. Here are the issues I am allowed to talk about.”

There is depressingly little Catfish is allowed to answer literally anything about.

Nah, you’re alright and Fatshark isn’t bad, either.
People just don’t agree with their priorization of issues, but then they probably have data we don’t.


They already gave their answer repeatedly, but you have to read between the lines and interprete corporate speech / safe speech.
The short of it is there will be a feature in the future that adresses or is related to the issue, but it’s not out yet. And since saying “there will be a feature X” will be met with fiery wrath when it doesn’t happen, they now reworded it like this.

“There are internal discussions” = “We have something in the planning stage, but not certain enough to announce what it is or if we will follow through with it”


Pretty sure it’s related to the Backlash culture. They just don’t want more PR Blunders, especially since this community is a tad more on the unforgiving side what some things are concerned.
I mean some of us still give them :poop: for that weapon customization thing, although the options you were probably going to end up with are released, just not packaged in this weapon customization interface.

It really is a deeper issue within the whole company. You can tell from the get go that things there are a disorganized mess.
