Just curious about the expectations of the community… and the wishes.

What do you expect? means what do you expect them to deliver us

What would you have wanted most? means what you would have wanted with this update.

Judging by their last Skulls announcement, this is probably going to be a nothingburger. I very much doubt Fatshark has anything _actually big_ in the works.

If it’s something new, I hope it’s not something nobody asked for (it totally will be).

I expect the same.

Just to explain my vote.

I expect them the nerf a little the DS, and that’s all. Maybe a little buff also. But I cannot vote for “Balance pass”. Because, even if I expect them to nerf DS, I don’t expect them to balance other weapons like the PG, boltgun etc… or buff all too weak weapons.

Based on last year’s Skulls event, they are gonna announce 1 new map/mission, and some new weapons.  
Since that’s what the Secrets of Machine God amounted to.  
We just got these from it.  
-Clandestium Gloriana (The ice map)  
-bolt pistol  
-double barrel shotgun  
-shock mauls  
-pickaxes

There’s probably gonna be a new enemy as well, probably.  
As a for a new archetype/class? It’s possible, I won’t deny it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for it.

Y’all are saying “new frame” like that’s the worst option. Personally idgaf about trinkets, the frame I can at least _see_ more than 1% of the time.

Also animated frames from VT were neat…would like to see those again.

Admit that it would be hilarious that they release such trailer for just… one frame.  
I will just hope that it won’t happen.

I’m just saying you guys set the bar too high. I still think a single trinket coming out would be a bigger meme than a frame.

I don’t know if I would call it expectation, but my estimation of what we will get is a new class with a cyber mastiff, you ping enemies and it pins them down, your ults are related to the dog etc. Unique weapons include a riot shield probably. Perhaps the long teased melta is class exclusive to them.

I’m mostly basing this being a doggo class on

1. Fatshark’s marketing department would have to be absolutely unhinged to release such a teaser that is headlining the Skulls trailer and for it to turn out to be something small.
2. It makes little sense to tease a new chaos enemy this way. Small chance it could be a new enemy hound of some kind, maybe a khorne hound, but if that were the case it would make way more marketing sense to show it attacking soldiers on our side not the cult.
3. I might think it is gene stealers, but I browsed through the entire Genestealer miniature line and I didn’t see anything that suggests to me something that small and low to the ground and moving that way, and hormagaunts do not come with gene stealer infestations, also if it were a hormagaunt we would see the scythe arms from that first person perspective.
4. Rogue trader doing a arbites pet class soon and that Rogue Trader and Darktide had a recent crossover event suggesting that the two companies are communicating.

I really don’t see what is huge with this trailer of few seconds that show nothing…

I think you are expecting too much… time will tell. But even if I would love a new archetype I don’t believe in it… and even more for a class that relies on pet.

It was the singular and only game to get new footage shown in the trailer, and just looking back at the Darktide communities reaction to disappointment, no way in hell would I release a teaser like that if I were Fatshark’s marketing department and only had something small. That would be such a bad move marketing wise, and I’d like to think they have some higher level of thought process and awareness going on in their minds.

But yea, could be wrong and they have something small, in which case I’m sure there will be fireworks on thursday lol.

e: also the teaser was pre-rendered not in game, that is quite a bit of extra work for something small, it’s been a very long time since we had something pre-rendered.

I think something significant (class or enemy faction) is very likely. The least I’m honestly expecting is a single new boss enemy.

But what I _hope_ for is for a new class and, since it’d be the absolute best time for it, a rework of the shop and commissary…and an extension of the penance track (which would be fairly strongly implied by a new class imo).

Not following through with some sort of doggo would be like … it’d be like, I dunno, having a 13th century sabre outperform a 40K power hammer.

_So:_

It could be GW’s marketing department that is unhinged.

I’d estimate that the odds of either FS’s _or_ GW’s marketing department being unhinged is at least 50%.

A further complicating factor is that with GW one should reverse Hanlan’s Razor, and never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

A FS fan’s version of Pascal’s Wager: Cling to the lowest expectations possible. The rewards of pleasant surprise greatly outweigh the potential pangs of disappointment.

NB: Sometimes I fear that this forum’s culture of cynicism is insufficient. But threads like this one absolutely _fill_ me with bright-glowing hope.

Remember crafting changes were scheduled to come out with it until it was delayed. So I would expect something more significant than that.

I was looking for the “nothing” or “disappointment” options for “what do you expect”. I have zero expectations for Fatshark these days. If they can’t honor 2.5 year old promises over new game modes no one wants, why should we expect anything this time?
