Cool stuff! I like fluff and lore.
Why people come to this thread just to tell everyone they are to lazy to read is beyond me though.

Salt.
Plain and simple.
For my part, I need to get back to my short story/fanfic idea for this.

This is about on-par with jingling keys as far as distractions go…

I mean I’ll give them one thing, they at least characterize a few things better than, well, Swagger.
I think the idea of Hadron hiding things from Rannick and Rannick trying to figure out why is interesting, I mostly hope this actually gets translated in game and we actually get to have a mission around it. If they are actually going to develop the story out further then it’s cool and im glad we are getting into territory that is beyond Zola’s secret since it’s been put on hold or “The new mystery character arrived on the Morning Star!”

Its good they released this after the update. I think hinting at a longlas would’ve been enough to send people into a murderous rage when it didn’t materialize in the new weapon roster.

I enjoyed the short. I really liked the first 4 and how they helped establish the setting.
As for the long-las, well, theirs was a very different sort of mission than the ones we run. An actual stealth covert operation unlike our mad, forlorn-hope assaults.
I can see it going two ways:
- We don’t get a long-las and a portion of people complain and demand a scoped weapon.
- We do get a long-las and a very few people make it work. But all the most vocal ones flood the forums complaining how they can’t live out their sniper fantasies in a horde-slaying game and they get spanked every time they try to scope in. Then everybody dog-piles and declares the Zarona revolver, the Kant XII, and the Helbores no longer have any reason to exist. “FS needs to change the foundation of the game to suit my playstyle.”, “FS needs to nerf this.”, “FS needs to buff that.”, etc.

I mean on point 2 i literally don’t see how that is different form any other weapon that was added.
As for actual uses for it i could see a lot consider longer range targets like gunners, snipers, and grens. If that was all it took to not add weapons we would literally not have any weapons.
Lohner’s chronicles for Darktide is very based and overdue. Thank you obese tuna.

I like it.
Reminiscent of “The Dark Wheel” approach to game immersion. I don’t care much for WH40K - I know little, care less, but anyone happy to help build up the game world =

Fatshark is teasing longlas and weapon attachments. Maybe one day we’ll get them

Huh? Fix the game.
TLDR: Huh?
There are different teams. Working on bugs, content etc won’t be affected by this team doing its job.
They really should reserve a part of the Mourningstar to a library of sorts where all this lore is collected though. If I got to decide they’d fill it with even more stuff like character, Atoma, Tertium, and general 40K lore that we unlock through collecting scripts and grims. Would give them purpose other than a small resource fetch and make them way more fun to collect for people.
