As I checked the update one thing stuck out to me:
Winds of Magic Illusions in Adventure
We haven’t forgotten about this! Owners of the Winds of Magic expansion can now use the illusions from the Athanor weapons of the Weaves of Magic game mode in Adventure Mode. Simply unlock the weapon in the Athanor and you will have the new illusion unlocked for that weapon!
This was a feature people have been asking FS since Winds of Magic’s release.
When was WoM released you ask?
2019
That’s 5 years and until 99% of the playerbase having moved on for a very basic feature that was unanimously asked for and agreed upon by the community.
In that sense: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. Temper your expectations for today.
Most likely the case as evidenced by the WoM Dev blog that basically told the people “f off we know better than you” and the CMs general response of “well the forums, reddit, twitter, instagram and steam forums AREN’T EVERYONE. Maybe someone likes it so we’re keeping it” in regards to acknowledgement of feedback.
The VT2 update is great. Beyond the weave illusions there is quite a bit of stuff to entice players back in for a bit. It all sounds great and I’ll be giving it a spin for sure.
If Darktide Skulls update doesn’t blow the Vermintide 2 stuff out of the water I’m going to be upset
I’m holding out hope because VT2 stuff dropped before the show, so I assume they’re holding off the really juicy Darktide stuff for the show proper.
