New Map Screen and Patch Incoming?

PhilthyPhilPhD · July 2017

Relic just posted the following on their Facebook here. So I'm guessing we're getting a patch soon. Can @Kat_RE give us an ETA on the patch or what else we can expect in it? The map seems pretty cool btw, is it a 3v3 or 1v1 map?

Also if there's any update on future plans or a roadmap, even if it's 'we're still not sure yet', would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure you guys have a lot going on but I'm also figuring you guys have a lot done that you're waiting for the right time to show us. We've been waiting patiently (and not so patiently) and it's kind of hard to stay optimistic and excited when we're largely in the dark. I guess all I'm saying is anything you could share with us would be appreciated!

Nice to see their meme game in the comment section is worth something.> @PhilthyPhilPhD said:

Awesome more maps are nice since launch was bare

Another faction would be great too all these spacemarine vs spacemarine vs spacemarine games are getting stale moreso than the maps

That is because SM was incredibly OP for a full month, and people only learned to play as SM.

And still is very a strong faction

Easy to play, minimal micro, strong start mid and endgame compared to eldar & orks

Wouldnt say eldar or ork are weaker in terms of start mid and endgame. Orks is probably the strongest race atm maybe not super op but very hard to deal with. That you need minimal micro for sm is not true, as asms can die very fast, just as any other sm unit. Sure ork and eldar require more micro but that you need minimal micro usage for sm is not true.

I don't really use assault marines when scoutnade and flamer is much better

Do please tell me what elite + unit composition is best for ork endgame in teamgames i always fall apart trying to use deffdreds and inf

Great to see that they're working on more maps, and the map itself looks beautiful. The environmental art is seriously on point in this game.

But it's a little irksome that updates on developing content is coming from the facebook page with not so much as a word on the matter in the official forums. It's great when we get the occasional community update, but apart from that it's largely radio silence and the forums seem like they're mostly dedicated to bickering about balance and lengthy goodbye posts. I mean, this thread has already derailed into SM balance. I don't expect daily or even weekly content updates or anything of the sort, but it's odd that there are content previews to be shown and they just aren't posted here for whatever reason.

Odds are they don't have enough they're willing to show yet. Social media is a good way to get interest up and tease new content. If Relic made a thread with nothing but a map image in it, I'm sure there would be complaints that that wasn't enough. There are different expectations on forum posts vs. social media engagement

If there are content updates, you can be they will make their way here, absolutely. I'm just a volunteer and I do not speak for Relic, but every significant update has gone out by both these forums and the News category linked in the hamburger menu to the top left.

Opinion post.

That's a fair point, Gorb, I had not considered that.

I suppose I'm a little different because I like any little snippet. There are also people far more desperate than even I, if they're going about creating change.org petitions of all things. Little things like this screenshot keep people placated. What's more, they encourage threads like this which have some positivity in them, which is refreshing.

Looks good

Yes, Scout Blind Grenade + Tactical Flamer, is very powerful and very satisfying to pull off.

I knew it somehow, that there will be Community Update tomorrow, but I doubted it too.

Anyways I suppose there is more tomorrow than new map.

Though I doubt that it will be new race.

I've been waiting this, in and out. Now I'm excited.

More balance adjustments and a new map too I hope. Also I want to hear about steam workshop integration, it's kind of bare bones right now and a pain in the neck to manually download maps (that don't even have atmosphere or music or anything of the sort).

Lol, each race has its day, first the mighty and proud race, then a bunch of steroid humans and now the green skins.
