[2023] Community Comm-Link 27th July 2023

Rejects,

This is Catfish, Darktide Community Manager, here with another comm-link update.

The comms team is back from its break and so are comm-links! Due to the summer hiatus, this edition will be shorter than usual. We will also have a slower pace of Comm-links for the foreseeable future, to make way for more varied types of comms, such as dev blogs.

Here is what you can expect for the coming weeks on Darktide:

• On August 3rd, we will publish a Dev Blog focusing on upcoming changes in Patch #12 (1.1.20), giving you an in-depth look at our plans for account based currencies, perk refinements, adjustments to crafting locks and options on the mission board.

• In the first half of August we will be releasing Patch #12 alongside its patch notes.

See you next week for the Dev Blog!

For sure, we are late on the uptake here!
Going forward I hope we are able to address community issues in a more timely manner, and with more clarity - more dev blogs might be the key to this.

The last comm-link stated we were reviewing these top issues.
In this comm-link we say the internal discussions have come to an end for now, and give a date on when you can expect to read exactly what changes coming, and when you can expect the patch.

I know the combat team have seen the feedback but any changes won’t be in the next patch, but i’ll let you know when you can expect to see something once I am able to.

I totally understand the frustration with the current system especially as I have been following and collecting the feedback for quite a few months now. By all means be frustrated at things that warrant it (like the time taken to get here)!

I get the upset with the announcement as well. As we are coming back off a break, there isn’t much I am able to communicate for now. I thought it best to give an update on what I could rather than delay the comm-link or wait until next week for the dev blog.

and hey, at least a date is slightly better than next week !
