all right so here we go so yes the PTS is definitely helping out the developers understand what you guys want to see changed in the future for update A and more importantly siege mode because yes the dev team has been very busy replying to you guys about this one out on the official Discord and by far one of the bigger concerns has been the timer in Siege mode well the dev team has an update about that one so yeah I say we dive into all this right now but remember if you are new to the channel smack that subscribe button to stay updated on all things Space Marine 2 so we got a very big reason to celebrate today check it out here is the official news here’s another big milestone that fills us with gratitude 7 million players on Space Marine 2 on this occasion we want to thank each Space Marine out there for their unwavering support thank you 7 million times so this is a huge massive milestone for Space Marine 2 and again this sort of thing is very good news for things like future support for this game it just tells me that this means the dev team has probably very good morale over there and they would want to keep pushing support for this game new content year 2 stuff so I’m very very hyped about the future for this game but we’re going to start out with a conversation within the community that ends up with a dev response out on the official Discord so here we go check it out reinforcements are a meth mechanic though do you guys agree with that or not and then someone said “Yeah for how much it costs?” And then we finally have should be player upgrades instead of reinforcements so would you prefer the ability to actually upgrade your player and the abilities of your space marine instead of calling in these reinforcements which a lot of you guys at least so far from what I am seeing on siege mode consider the reinforcements to be underwhelming kind of weak but we have a dev response check it out or respond from the community team I should say goes on to say this that’s one of the feedback we’ve seen a lot for now will reduce their price but maybe more changes will come regarding reinforcements that’s something that I would expect considering that a lot of you guys are feeling like the reinforcements are very meh currently you know I personally really like to see the reinforcements on the field there’s something visual about that that’s something that I’ve always kind of like dreamed of being able to call incadians that sort of thing so in that regard I want that mechanic to stay no matter what now we have other replies here check it out to be honest it’s not about their price it’s just that I personally would prefer to be able to buy some perks like when you are surrounded something happens etc or simple player buffs like health armor etc in my humble opinion it’s much more interesting when you actually upgrade yourself than summon bots to do a job for you and my thing is why not both why not have both options present for the players if that’s something that they really want now we did get a response about that as well check it out that’s interesting but that’s a completely different mechanic so it’s not like they’re jumping the gun here and saying “Oh yeah we’re going to just go ahead and throw that in the game for you guys.” Uh no that’s not the case i really think still a lot of you within the community love the idea of being able to call in reinforcements dreadnots that sort of thing now moving on here we have this one i hope they tweak the dread AI fix Heb’s power pack glitch and just fine-tune a lot in general do we know if we are getting siege or deals that’s a great question and we did get a response maybe later but not on 8.0 release that’s for sure so don’t expect brand new siege mode related orals for update 8 unfortunately that would have been really really cool don’t get me wrong but perhaps in update 9 or even 10 we would see more orals what would you guys like to see for that by the way sound off now also we have this right here speaking of any plans to delay it and I believe he’s speaking about the release of update 8 he goes on to clarify I think it might be the best move personally which I don’t know i don’t see any reason to delay update 8 from my personal experience with siege mode I think they could just patch siege mode as they go and in the current state with PTS it’s a good start now they go on to say this why no and we do have a follow-up response trust me this does go somewhere check it out fixing some glaring bugs especially like the bull work bug and fixing block weapons which has been bugged since 5.0 in regards to AoE staggers which is needed for Siege and the 50% damage not working in PTS just to name a few also the timer as well and guess what it is confirmed that the team found a solution for the timer already at the very least so I think that should give you guys some hope for siege mode a lot of you guys were really really bummed to hear that there was a timer in place for siege mode and the max wave that a lot of uh players were getting to at least on the PTS side of things was about like 26 through 28 and a lot of you guys want to push like wave 50 if you can you know or unlimited waves at the very least just try to see how far you can get and we had like a follow-up question to this as well when will we find out what the solution is and the response is this probably we’ll make a text in the release patch notes of the 8.0 to explain what are the changes compared to the PTS version so they don’t give like an exact answer as to what this solution is but yeah a lot of you guys are wanting to test out this change at least on the PTS before it goes live on update 8 which was the question here are they going to be releasing it on the PTS this change but due to time constraints they will not be releasing an intermediate version of the PTS this goound i believe as I recall with the previous BTS they did do like a mid update to that one so so we can try some changes out but that’s not the case here now also he did say this you’ll see in the release version about that timer update the solution honestly considering the technical limitations it’s the best compromise we could have so it’s definitely going to be labeled as a compromise here i’m kind of curious to see exactly what they have done and if the community really takes to it likes it we’ll have to wait and see when update A actually rolls out and we get those full fleshed out patch notes i will definitely have that for you guys when that happens now also we have this question right here hi sorry for the ping but is a team aware the fact that the power sword has an issue right now where you can’t switch between light power style after dash dodge forward has been a problem and we got the response that yes they are very much aware of this so I would imagine that they are working on a fix for that one since they are aware of it also what is this one right here hey man sorry to bother you but is there any plans in the future to change the marines and thunderhawks in the battle bars to let’s say the Blood Angels or the Black Templars which we got a response not planned and yeah I don’t see that happening at all although it would be really really cool to be able to further customize the battle bars and perhaps have like your own home space where you can really customize it perhaps even have some sort of trinkets rewards that you can showcase that would be very very cool i got to say having a space like that for me sake would be awesome and also I keep seeing this mentioned time and time again and here we are check it out can we have the holstered weapon soon please like what the Game Awards trailer showed in 2021 and it’s such a simple thing but it looks absolutely amazing in this game that’s like a very short clip of it but dude this is something that I really really want to see i know you can mod it in but I want to see like an official patch release for this sort of thing so if folks is listening please please include holstered weapons in a future update because also you got to consider you can see your weapon customization but maybe that is the problem in of itself that there’s like I don’t know a memory issue having tons of different customization options being seen at all times holstered on different space marines i don’t know i’m trying to theorize as to why they didn’t go with the holstered look i just love it so much so I’m going to say again like if Focus is listening if you could do an update please to include this as a feature i’m not talking about like mods i want this as an actual official feature that would be really really badass but uh yeah that’s something that I would love to see i’m going to keep pushing for it but you guys know what time it is it is time to go over your top comments as always leave a comment down below it can end up right here in a future video so let’s go ahead and find out what you guys had to say right now so check it out right here the whole point of horde mode is to go as long as you can until you die ending your run because of the timer shouldn’t even be a question i couldn’t agree more yeah finding out about this timer thing has been a total bummer for sure but it’s good to know that we’re going to be getting some sort of solution i should say compromise we’ll find out if we like it or not all right what do we have next 90% of gamers hate being on a timer 532 up vote so a lot of you guys feel the same the whole thing that was constantly advertised about this game and their engine was the fact that we could see and fight thousands of enemies it’s just not the case though difficulty should be number of enemies not bullet sponges yeah I’m kind of surprised that they’re having this problem this limitation with this game considering like how much zombies they had on screen with World War Z i’m kind of like wondering what the actual like major issue is here now we have I have zero fun with a timer period never put a timer on wave-based wavebased hordes this is 101 also we have this take here best horde mode I ever saw was in a game was Gears 3 horde mode they need to take notes from that cuz there was a timer between waves they should have done something like that instead of a timer each wave so that’s actually a great point right there it seems like some of you guys agree with it uh but yeah what is your absolute favorite like horde mode from a game sound off what do you think would be great that uh you know space marine 2 dev team could borrow from look to but yeah there it is delays happenings around space marine 2 i will keep you guys in the know what happens with update 8 and beyond can’t wait to finally get like some sort of concrete road mapap by the way for year two that is something that from what I understand is in the works very much in its like preemptive state I guess you would say but as they fine-tune that hopefully we get a more solid answer as to when that road map would be released but thank you guys so much for watching stay tuned for more and I will see you all next time take care
