A massive changelog has been released, with plenty of nerfs and other fixes, but still no word on solo play or PC players also getting some sort of Aquila reward like the X-Box players got.
And also, the Scavenger penance is still broken.

As frustrating as I'm sure the Aquila thing is, do remember that it's only for people who purchased the game. Anyone playing free via Game Pass is supposed to get nada.
I don't have a good solve for this as just gifting PC players the premium currency when they might have gotten the game for a ridiculously low price via Steam sales or whatever would feel just as unfair to those who full-on bought a game they could play free via Game Pass Ultimate.
And also, the Scavenger penance is still broken.
Feels like quite a few of them are.
Store rotation day! Yay for commando ogryn!

Well, for awhile players going full Leroy Jenkins and running ahead of the group to speedrun was my biggest pet peeve.
Now though? When an otherwise good team chooses the absolute wrong place to stand against a horde. There are so many good chokepoints and places to best use AoE abilities and its just wasted on some folks. There is no penalty to falling back a few yards to make the most of your team/terrain.
Granted, sometimes gak happens, like getting tossed into a daemonhost while facing a horde/boss, but so many wipes come about because of zero awareness of surroundings.
And people not tagging elites…

A veteran with the right perks will tag specials the moment they trigger their ability, but yes, tagging / call-outs are a big deal in this game, so that the right reject can deal with it.
People are still speed running maps like insane, it's just depressing how hard it is to get a normal game in after almost a year.
And heh, some of the new maps I've yet to play due to the gakky map rotation they still have in place.

Don't get me started on DH and the influx of Xbox players, insiting on attacking it and then throwing 4 games in a row on auric for my vet because predictably 2 players are basically perma dead.

Speaking as an Xbox player, it's depressing how many of the PC players just outright don't mark Daemonhosts or insist on shooting barrels right next to me.

Yeah but you lot can opt out of mixed play. Which is hillarious that we can't.
Also explicitly attacking a DH after being told repeatedly not to is imo ground enough to be considered trolling and or throwing.
As is barrel bowling other players.

In the heat of the moment, it can be tricky to distinguish between the daemonhost marker that you aren’t supposed to shoot, compared to the marker for any other elite beastie, which you are supposed to shoot.
However, I just like to play it to drown things, rather than seriously trying to go for the Auric level stuff, so my general ineptitude doesn’t tend to lead to wipes very often.
Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
I only find the lack of Daemonhost marking to be frustrating because it tends to be accompanied by someone quitting or being a jerk for the rest of the match.

Would be a perfect time to finally give us that promised bot support, we're still asking them about that every time they push out an update, they can't stop pretending forever that it wasn't something that was promised almost a year ago, the karking gits.

I am , because my opinion is that the ogyns should get the possibility for an autocannon instead not just a "stubber"
Jokes aside i mainly want the stubber because i absolutely adore the vraksian magazin fed one.

I think the devs need to spend more time fixing what's broken or nerfed to the point of useless first before adding in more weapons for them to break or nerf into the ground.
An Ogryn-proof autocannon would be neat, as the ab still feels a bit too light on weapon variety compared to the other classes.

Yeah, by some obstuse post on discord i believe by a developper. Granted i did listen to a youtuber explaining the new update that mentioned that, but i sincerly hope we don't just get the hell-gun as a new weapon, there's more things available.
Then there's the weapon customisation mod that leaked also a ton of things aswell, but there i am a bit out of the loop.

re; Hellgun, interesting that it is all but confirmed, but am interested to see how it will fit in with the current trio of lasguns we have, as they all bring something unique to the table. Will it be a rapid-firing Lucius?
