Skin rotations or I quit the game

Bring back commissar skin rotation or I quit

I’ll take back positive review and grant you negative review and ill consistently mock you in every forum I can to generate hatred toward your company. This is a threat

It’s been over a year.

Signed 1k+ hours (this could be cured by removing fomo)

Commissary didn’t have rotation, never had. We’re supposed to get variants of the Penance path update cosmetics in theory.

I would recommend just changing to negative until you see commissar.

Join the club. Everyone and their mother on every forum everywhere is lamenting about the shoddy FOMOshop with FOMObux and FS’s glacial development pace. It’s only recently that it’s starting to make progress. I tell my friends about how awesome this game is but then tell them to not buy it because the company developing it is incompetent.

My Steam review’s still negative and it’s going to stay negative until we start seeing tangible progress and the crafting update not being mediocre.

The commissar skin is so bad. No Shoulder Pauldrons, Gloves, Cuirass, or even Bionic eye. The coat is short as well. They will probably rework it and re-release it. I sure hope so. I wanted to get a refund on it but I passed my time limit.

It did have a full set rotation like the other sets. My friend bought it when it came out I got the game late. Dont try and trick me man I swear this company’s THIS close to a negative review and me shut talking the game to everyone I come across.

Yup. When you think of Commissars, you don’t think of the bland, dull, lifeless models they’ve recently produced masquerading as Commissars as though they were worthy of the title. We think of models bedecked in black uniform coats with loops of lace and bright sashes, bright cuirasses, epaulettes and aiguilettes, their clothing trimmed with gold and lined with scarlet, with huge hats on their heads.*

A quick collage of examples:

*I’m being hyperbolic in the spirit of how 40k once was, when it was madly fun and crazy, with a healthy dosage of being, err, ‘inspired’ by 2000AD. A satire on space fantasy/sci-fi, utilising all the worst parts of human societies and mixing it into one empire that was propped up by these crumbling pillars whilst under constant attack. Now its all GRIM DARK ONLY. NO FUN. ALL IS SERIOUS. Or at least with the aesthetics.

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned this yet but it’s also for the wrong Archetype.

Sure, Commissars are part of the Ordo Temptesus and thus military personnel… but Commissars are also orphans who’ve been indoctrinated from birth by the Departmento Munitorum with the sole purpose of serving the Imperium as overzealous political officers.

Commissars aren’t proper soldiers like Guardsmen or Scions, they’re just there to make sure their assigned Astra Militarum regiments are… “up to scratch” if we’re to put it nicely.

Commissars are Tempestus Zealots whilst Scions are Tempestus Veterans.

Man, new yarrik was such a downgrade. Sash not embroidered for showing off your highlighting skills? No boltgun blinged out with a whole goblin skeleton? Less than half the gold trim? It’s shameful.

Also bring back the commisars of old with the entire chestful of campaign medals. imagine getting yelled at by a guy that’s been to like 80 wars.

I can see the point you’re going for but I very much disagree with your conclusion and think that neither archetype represents the Commissar except, perhaps, the central part of the Veteran tree.

Commissars are meant to be inspirational when things are going well but scary so that when it goes wrong you continue to do your duty under their supervision whilst your brain screams to run away. Also for enforcing regulations and discipline in camp (regiment depending cough Death Korps cough).

The Preacher on the battlefield is much more on the inspirational part of things, a symbol of faith in the God-Emperor, maybe leading a congregation of the faithful in the form of Frateris Militia. They don’t do what Commissars do, they’re generally not formally attached to units (except for regimental chaplains or perhaps in Ecclesiarchy-led crusades).

Also, I could not take a ‘Commissar’ performing an act of faith, such as Choir of the Faithful, seriously because it is not in their remit to do such things. Glowing with holy vigour from the God-Emperor? No. Shouting at the team to get into the action? Yes, absolutely.

me I’m quite irritated Trooper Ston’s combat shotgun (which for some reason is stupidly large) has never reappeared. this was the first (or second?) rotation in the shop.

Look at that karking thing. Enormous, beautiful.

I also recently got back into standard issue shovel so I wouldn’t mind having that ENTRENCHING TOOL again. Even if it can only be used on one shovel.

Yeah, Commissars aren’t covered properly by either Archetype in actuality. I dunno… I’m probably just “muh lore”-ing the heck out of cosmetics because I’m constantly seeing people who get dressed up like Astra Militarum regiments with no business at all in the Moebian Domain. Cadians make sense because the Moebian Domain’s apparently quite close to Cadia. Atoma Prime might’ve even taken on a decent number of displaced Cadians after the whole “Cadia go boom” fiasco. Kriegers and Elysians, though? Get the heck outta here :joy:

The fact that lot of you and players in this game in general coped and supported FOMO mechanic of store in first place - I am not sorry for anyone who missed his favourite skin or it never came back. Good.

Maybe in future this will teach you to review bomb game with FOMO tactics in store cosmetics instead of us having just a normal catalogue with prices.

You supported FOMO, you got FOMOed.

You don’t have to review bomb an otherwise good game lmao. 12 year old throwing a tantrum mentality.

You just have to not spend money on the dumb overpriced trinket store. I dunno just find some especially shiny keys to jingle for a while instead.

Trust me I am as disappointed as you though that people are so eager to financially support a cosmetic store this transparently awful.

That crab shaped power claw was so cool. I owned that model! Must have lost it though unfortunately :pensive:

Farewell I guess. :confused:

Oh no, missed predatory FOMO due to real life business? Well, be smarter next time and pay for the sub-par overpriced cosmetic right as it appear in the shop! Be a good consoomer.

Its not a very good threat because there is a long queue and youre right at the back.

I hate the FOMO and will never buy anything from the shop. The fact that you are begging FS to let you defacate money in to the void AND threatening to review bomb… well lets just say I thing thats bad, and wrong. Its so bad we need a new word thats worse than bad and wrong. A word like… BADONG! What youve done is badong. Hang your head in shame.
