Why is the cover armor for the ogryn still not earnable in game? Have you not made already enough by ripping of the community with predatory MTX? The vanguard bundle given to PC players was okay, but it still does not justify the practices thst incentivize paying for new skins. Make them at least available as a bundle on steam. Secondly, how is MTX justifiable when you sold it to the community that this would replace the DLC’s but we now know that there is a new dlc in works… Is there no limit to the greed… I guess soulless is what Fatshark has become selling out to Tencent. Why is there no in game way to earn aquilas that would reward the grindfest that the game? As was promised by you pre-launch?? Can we get some answers to this? ---

None of the cover cosmetics are in the game, and it’s a VERY big pet peeve for the whole community. I wanted that Vet helmet so bad… I mean, the Vanguard Vet torso is a straight-up blue reskin of the cover Veteran torso, but that’s really it. ---

I am personally of the theory that it was some bright spark’s idea to monetize those cosmetics, and they’re petulantly refusing to let them be released without monetization while the rest of the studio has the brain cells to realize that this community will bury them if they try that, especially after the disaster of the launch. This is the only semi-rational explanation for having cosmetics fully functional yet refusing to just let players use them. ---

Makes sense. The same is probably true with the unreleased penance sets, which are also finished and ready. ---

It is a little conspiracy theory ish because the alternative is that Fatshark is just… refusing to use something they’ve already paid people to make, that requires no real additional work to implement, for essentially no reason. Like the premium cosmetics and the crafting all make sense under FOMO and general dark design stuff…not releasing the cosmetics at all makes zero sense unless it’s a byproduct of someone being an idiot in the office. ---

Yeah, I’m curious why they’re releasing new sets like Rogue Trader (they are awful) while having a library of finalized cosmetics ready to use at any moment. ---

The cover armors are nice but squad leader vet has longcoats covered in purity seals that seriously drip too hard. Obviously they need to be MIA while they do the clown catalog over at the paid store. ---

The vast majority of Darktide’s premium cosmetics look like Fatshark tried to make them from memory. I’m sick of each dollar store cosmetic set costing a quarter of the game’s price 😤😤😤 ---

I think that is everyone else as well. I think that we should we be able to earn aquilas in-game like, AS WAS PROMISED PRE-LAUNCH. We can’t even get a the promotional armor, I mean srsly, the logic of Fatshark. ---

I’d be happy if we could get the promotional set via new penances with some decent reskins in the Commissary, like the other sets! I need that Vet Helmet… MY… PRECIOUS!!! ---
