The Obelisk Update is OUT!

No close support or fire support icon for the DA? Sad. Even sadder, you guys named the battleline icon "fire support". Don't know how you confuse those, theyre two very different symbols. Incorrect heraldry seems to be run of the mill in this game.

Interesting. I didn't see anything about Assault Marines simply deciding they don't have time for damage right now and outright ignoring all damage until they feel like it, but otherwise it looks good!

Its really disappointing to see that we get forced to play with an Ravenwing Mk VIII helmet instead of a blank standard version. Running my Blood Raven Tactical with a Ravenwing helmet isn't quite the fun I was hoping for.

Checking this new content. Thanks GGez

Awesomeness!

Agreed. Plus, if anything the ravenwing helmet should be a mk VI. A lot of strange design choices with seemingly no basis in lore or official designs in this release.

Why are the cosmetics for the Dark Angels weapons green? The weapon casings for Dark Angels are canonically red. Also, the shoulder marking is mislabeled as Fire Support when it should be Battleline. And the lack of the unique Dark Angels actual Fire Support marking and Close Support icon with the correct style of squad number feels like a strange oversight in a Dark Angels focused DLC that people, myself included, paid extra for.

Yes. It felt like they really just slung stuff at the wall with this.

It's literally taken directly from a Ravenwing model.
So it's not a strange choice and is based on official design.

Yeah the fact that we can still wear all chaos faction emblems on our right pauldron but only 3 loyalist chapters. It's especially glaring when trying make a lore accurate Deathwatch build is crazy to me.

After reading the gameplay improvement notes,it looks like that part of the dev team is killing it, whoever is in charge of cosmetics and also the GW rep overseeing them are really dropping the ball. I'm sure they could have 100 lore-head fans jump at the chance to fix it in 24 hours.

The amount of inaccurate design choices across the board in the whole game is staggering. A SINGLE fan who has looked at a codex for 2 minutes could do a more accurate job. They clearly don't care about attention to detail or accuracy.

Fencing / Balance / Block tested.

Essentially balance is way to clunky, and block doens't allow you to parry.

In conclusion, you nerf'd Fencing again.

Stop nerving the things that actually work for the players. 

fix fencing. Why fix something that isn’t broken. Especially for characters that rely on it at higher levels. 

On Xbox series S I still get a freeze right before the victory screen 2 out of 5 games. I have to close and restart the game. Guess will have to wait to next patch and see if that is still not fixed.

And please don´t tell me it's on my part. I tried: new install, fresh start when playing sm2, turning cross playing off, changing language.

why you push players to choose gamestyle you want to see but not the most of them?!?! 

The new cosmetics seem to look good, I like the new mission and enemy, but why have you messed around with fencing weapons? They were at a point where they felt really good and intuitive to use, even after the last patch. Now they’re feeling really inconsistent and clunky. Please just leave things that are working alone and buff other things up to their level if you don’t like the way they’re performing. 

It’s not as bad as the last patch, but it feels again like you’re trying to dictate how people have fun again and that’s not your job. 

Hopefully it’s a bug because I didn’t see any mention of it in the patch notes, other than the AOE reduction that shouldn’t affect parry timing/windows. I do like the new additions to the game and you seem to be listening to your community which is nice, but please try to leave things that are working alone. 

Thanks

dunno if its bugged or they made it this way but i cant get amd frame generation to work with TAA which it should be able to with it now being updated to fsr 3.1, ik most hate taa and i normally do too but i just get awful performance with fsr at native and fsr at quality looks dogsh*t in my opinion so want to settle with taa but just cant, do you guys reckon this will be fixed or im i gonna have to deal with fsr on quality​
