adding archtypes is an easy way to add content.
I believe it was the great and only @Reginald that coined that adding additional archtypes is multiplicative in value in that it allows players new ways to experience current content.

It really is, though even so we need maps more then anything. If I was in charge of Fat Shark Iâd have most of the team churning out maps.
Some could be throw away maps, but Iâd make them make a LOT of them.
The rest of the team would work on new classes and clever enemy behavior so the enemy would use different tactics and work as a team at higher levels.

New maps will hit the mission selection bottleneck. New content means little if you canât access them.

at one point, map selection will be kinda mandatory, otherwise we may not be able to pick missions and special conditions we want, and is kinda happening already sometimes.
Easy ?
Like if we take the main proposition of Admech, we would need at the very least 11.700 voice lines (+ any new one for the current); 23 unique weapons (Picking the one that has the least, Ogryn, in the intent that no weapon should be shared with/from the other Arche); + new models and such.
The easiest way to add content would be introducing new weapons and adding new branches to the current archetypes (on either side of the current trees.
As those wouldnât need new weapons, but be able to introduce new gameplay mechanics to the game (Eg: Veteran Stormtrooper getting an Outcast Engineer mechanic)
Not like most Dev are able to work on every parts, but also too many hands in the pot is going to have diminishing returns.
Hopefully, there is a part of the Dev team that is already working for longer term content, things like Chaos Waste (2nd Hive), new areas (Atrox with a forested Observatory, WitherlandâŚ), new branches and such.
And hopefully still, they arenât putting resources into DTâs Versus. Not yet.

Remember Fat Shark is a full size studio. People assume things are hard but itâs not hard when you have a ton of pros working on it full time.

admech fanboy
just has a person do it because he canât figure out how to remotely bump a forum thread
boy does THAT check out, he really is serious about wanting admech. anyways, thereâs no reason for it and it would be way too much labor to justify them being anywhere near inquisition business.
Hadron gets tired of our varlets failing, sends a skitarri of hers down to ensure things get done right.
