Admonition Ascendant - Live Now!
Starting May 22 and until June 9, to celebrate Skulls, the forces of Nurgle will be stirring in Darktide with the Admonition Ascendant Special Event. During this time-limited event, players will encounter Nurgle totems across missions. Destroying them will summon Chaos Spawns, but beware as these totems also buff nearby enemies, making every encounter more dangerous.
To make the Skulls celebration extra special, Admonition Ascendant will award more than dockets, plasteel, and diamantine, players will also get to earn a total of 500 aquilas throughout the event that they will be able to use in the Commodores Vesture to purchase discounted weapon skins.
Skulls will also be celebrated in the Mourningstar, with skull decorations, shrines, and event-themed banners transforming the hub into a fitting tribute to the Imperium’s most grimdark traditions.
Four cosmetic sets return to the Commodore’s Vestures
As part of the Skulls celebration from May 22 to May 29, several premium cosmetics will return to the Commodore’s Vestures for a limited time, offering players a chance to represent iconic forces from across the Imperium: Magistratum Enforcers, Heroes of Armageddon (Steel Legion), Death Korps of Krieg and the Elysian Drop Troopers.
Make sure to tune in at Skulls tonight for our big reveal tonight at 18:00 CEST / 09:00 PT! Twitch
New mechanic for the event, (temporarily) earnable Aquilas, discounts in the store, DECORATIONS IN THE MOURNINGSTAR…slam dunk. Can’t wait to see what drops at Skulls!
This is 2 AM AEST for any of my fellow Eastern Aussies on here.
Ah, it’s about time! The blood must flow and such. Nice work.
I’m excited! Hopefully it won’t be disappointing… 
Finally they give aquilas for a temporary event. If they did this all the time, the online would increase a lot))
The good:
Earnable aquilas through events, cheaper weapons, stuff returning
The bad:
Not enough earnable aquilas w/ no guarantee they’ll be back, cheaper weapons are very obviously temporary, and the stuff returning is still another FOMO trick for Skulls.
Make aquilas a common prize, make everything cheaper, and switch to a catalog and I’ll give y’all unconditional praise, but this is just lipstick on the pig.
What can you get for 500 Aquilas?
A full set? A single piece?
A specially discounted weapon skin.
Or you can buy 2400 and afford one of those shiny new premium sets that just got added back in
Don’t get too excited, it’s literally a few barely visible banners, classic fatshark
That part was a joke for all the people who’ve moaned about the nerve center of a guerrilla war in a rogue trader’s ship not getting dressed up for holidays. But hey, FS is listening!
Nothing, it’s just there to encurage players to buy some more so they can afford something
Oh joy. Excited for nothing, once more.
Wow recolored skins that’s been in the loop fifty times before, with a slightly different tint of grey or black. Whoah!
BTW, an update has already been released for VT2, adding a new map and making changes to the talent tree.
No new weapons, no new class, just a way to bait more people in buying premium stuff.
Ehhh…
:staregryn: :Sitgryn: :ogryn_pathetic:
Jesus of Christ. That’s it?
… What exactly have we done to you for you to treat us with such contempt?
Ooft. No wonder that had to quickly quash the Ratling rumour.
Not even a new cosmetic? Just old ones we “should be grateful” to have the opportunity to give them money for?
Hopes dashed.
Their team size must be tiny imo. Has to explain all the small updates.
The Skulls Showcase hasn’t begun yet. This is only the Event and Slop Rotation.
