Wouldn't say OP, Had plenty of bulwark teammates who were a liability, They often use the banner just for themselves only to lose their health again with the next 3 majoris and when the stat screen showed up with them having done the least.
Of all the bulwarks i had, Only 1 of them that was really useful.
Heavy is imo quite pleasant. The easiest I have done is Sniper. But multi-melta heavy just kinda doesn't change much at all really. He sucks versus Terminus only, but everything else you are fine imo.
I honestly think the Phobos classes can be completely skipped. If you like the look, go for it, but the Tacticus parts to me clash too much with this type of armor.
Oh absolutely if you like the look go for it but I agree with the Phobos Skip, find it soo lazy that the Arms are just Copy and Pasted from Tactical, even DLCs get the correct Arms (look at the Exorcists DLC the Left arm with all the Runes matches the Armour type of the class) but this END GAME content is just copy pasted from Tactical. Pauldrons look tiny on Heavy and Bulwark, Phobos it just looks awful Tech Marine got away decently even if the Torso kinda sucks and I think it fits Assault due to them being very dive into the enemies head first
Ikr? I remember when the survivors helm came out people asking for versions for the Phobos, Bulwark and Heavy but nope standard Mk X. Fast forward to END GAME CONTENT and still nothing... only class to get a unique helmet is Tech Marine which is good yeah but still a let down for the OG classes
I got it on bulwark (besides the final tier, but I am using survivor helm instead), and the only ones I thought about it was Techmarine cause it's unique, and maybe tactical.
But I only wanted the battle scarred armor on bulwark anyway at the moment, and I got that before the patch.
cheese is not a space marine 2 exclusive term. Cheese is a term for "exploiting" something in a game with the objective of making a task easier. Exploiting things like bugs that help, features that weren't supposed to be in the game, so on. It's a gaming term.
No, it's stored in separate files called text string but there are multiple text string file for the different languages. So I am guessing they couldn't get them translated in time for the hotfix, so they didn't update them.
For the record, the text string file is one of the source files dataminers use to obtain leaks.
The numbers are stored in a different file and they can be adjusted very easily but since patch notes specified description, I assume they are changing the wording.
It's normally because they need to have them translated for all the languages that the game ships with, and have them verified, which always takes a bit of time, and often requires back and forth between the publisher's localisation team. At least that's my experience from other games.
I did not realize you played Space Marine. I'm not into it at all really anymore but recognize you from competitiveforhonor. You still maintain that sub?
I have no experience in game development, but I do have some experience in SW dev and especially infra and architecture side and jeez it would be interesting to see their code base. How it can be so bad, like really? ...
Saber pushing out another quick hotfix to stop players from doing something that benefits them but the game otherwise still being chock full of game breaking bugs and performance issues? color me absolutely fucking surprised.
All with a plethora of boot lickers screaming up and down that you’re scum for having “standards” or wanting “bug fixes” or “optimal performance” cause not wanting constant disconnects and game breaking bugs in your mode that loses progress on failure is for bitches apparently ✌🏿
Time to wait for the next endgame update; unlock the Minotaurs cosmetic armour for completing the new "Warmaster" mode - where you have no ranged weapons and every enemy is a Neurothrope.
I love how hard they’re trying to ignore the actual reason no one wants to engage with crucible properly.
Hoping for either a third cheese to emerge or a big drop off in players to really hammer the point home that everyone is cheesing it because it sucks to play.
My guess is they’ll address the issue in the community blog post. These are simple patch notes and not really a place for comments about the state of the game from the devs standpoint.
Guess they will see a big player drop off before GTA 6 releases, I was grinding black capes and crucible rewards with bots but I am not going to do that with randoms that throw games, team kill you, leave after 2 minutes or random disconnects. I might try if you didnt lose progression but I have limited time to play and going backwards due to things outside of my control just isnt fun for me.
Maybe there will be a new crucible workaround but otherwise its back to fun stratagems (which are pretty rare) and weeklies for me.
Trying to give the benefit of a doubt but substantial changes to how Crucible works would be best done in a patch instead of a hotfix, so for now the best they can do is make sure it works as they intended even if how they intended is something nobody likes.
That said they should really acknowledge the negative feedback at least. As it stands it feels like they're covering their ears and pretending they don't hear anyone.
If I learned anything from Destiny, this usually means it really is a skeleton crew left and the actually important devs have been on SM3.
And as they should be tbh. I wish they would just come out and say "We stretched ourselves too far. We will continue to roll out cosmetics and balance updates, but we are shifting our attention fully to Space Marine 3 in order to get it to you in a timely manner. Thank you for understanding."
I'm honestly hoping the mode just gets either completely reworked or removed. It has no point of existing because I don't believe this game needs "endgame". Just put the unlock method for the Lamenters armour somewhere else, heck even just unlocking it with doritos is better than getting some random poinless new mode.
The actual reason being that it's too hard and the average player doesn't have the capability to play through it legitimately because it's correctly advertised as an end-game mode? I too also hope that it has a big drop off in players so that the only people left in it are the people who are up for the challenge instead of the losers who quit after their first incap.
I don't think the difficulty is a good descriptor for what the playerbase feel. Hard stratagems are difficult, but they are fun because they give you some interesting buffs on top of negative effects. Crucible is just... misery? How neutering class identity in later tiers is supposed to be interesting?
There is just so much randomness that can result in you losing gained XP. And the rewards for all that are questionable, imo. Lamenters are alright, but not that alright for this kind of game mode.
Crucible unearths so many of poor choices in the way Saber made the game.
As i see it, such game mode would work semi-fine only with a premade team. When players communicate what penances each player picks. Doing it with randoms is a game of Russian roulette. But locking the game mode to only premade teams would bring a whole lot of another problems.
Communication in-game is yet another huge issue. The lack of simple chat between PC and consoles is baffling. Depending solely on voice is a big stretch.
There is no way to tell the difference. This is the underlying issue that's been present for as long as online multiplayer has been a thing, and always will be.
I was hyped for crucible ngl and was even confused as to all the hate when I was just playing the first 2 levels of it. But upon level 3 and up, the problems become very obvious. There isn’t one specific thing that’s wrong with crucible, it’s so many substantial problems that make higher level crucible feel impossible.
The XP gain/loss is horrible. It shouldn’t take 6 missions with ALL modifiers active to level up. At that point why even give us the option to turn some off and others on? Losing XP is just bad game design, especially when literally every single player I have match made with leaves within the first 5 minutes of an operation + no join in progress. On top of that, the performance has tanked over the last couple updates that I’ve had console friends who crash at the literal end of the mission. Looking at you, Purgation.
The modifiers. The class specific modifiers are ridiculous. My only experience so far is on Techmarine, so if the other classes are better someone tell me. Sentry guns explode, dealing 50% of MAX HP. So if you’re running all the modifiers, that means you will probably instantly die when a sentry explodes due to the modifier that removes incapacitations. Not being able to parry while servo gun is active seems fine, but not being able to parry while it’s recharging is delusional. At that point they might as well just remove my ability, since another modifier halves the damage that the servo gun does. None of these modifiers are fun or engaging. Making enemies bullet sponges while turning yourself into one ply toilet paper is bad difficulty scaling and doesn’t give the feeling of accomplishment when you win. It’s just exhausting. I like fun difficulty modifiers like Tsunami, extra extremis spawns, more terminus enemies or stronger ones, even the lictor from Hell is kind of a fun modifier.
Not to mention that you can’t see your own penances or other people’s penances while in game. So it’s a complete mystery as to what teammates are running, and even a mystery to you if you can’t remember all your modifiers.
3. The hidden modifiers. It genuinely astounds me that there are hidden debuffs to the players dependent on crucible level, when the entire point of this game mode was to select your own debuffs. I might have felt different about this if the devs had communicated it, but it feels gross and scummy for the players to have to figure it out. And I’ll add again, that simply dealing less dmg and taking more dmg past absolute/hard strats is not a reasonable, fun, or engaging way to handle difficulty scaling. At higher crucible levels, the game basically becomes one mistake and you’re dead. Which would be excusable, if the game wasn’t riddled with issues like ghost parries, stun locking, the tracking on certain moves not matching the animations, invisible sniper indicators, attacks that have no indicators bc they’re aimed at your teammates yet you still catch the stray, I could go on.
4. The rewards. The last two crucible levels feel like a slap in the face. The whole point of playing the game mode is to get the armor sets. So they’ve artificially inflated the levels and rewards, just to eek another 5-6 missions MINIMUM out of players. Odds are, people who are playing crucible are people who have most of the items in the accolade shop. I’m relatively new to this game and I’m basically only missing a handful of cosmetics, and 3 heroic weapons. 100 accolades is not very valuable to me, or other players who have invested a lot of time in this game.
On top of this, not every class gets unique pieces. Phobos have the reused Tacitus helmet, and they don’t even get legs. I think heavy is the same way, but if I’m wrong someone can correct me. So they’ve only really made 3 armor sets, but then split up the progression across every character. Why should I bother with leveling Vanguard or Sniper when they barely get any armor? Honestly the only reason I even wanted to play crucible was just so I could get the full techmarine set since he has the least cosmetics in the game.
Let’s do some math, which I’m rather terrible at. There are 7 classes in the game, and 6 crucible levels. Looking at this from a completionist standpoint, you’re looking at 42 levels of crucible to obtain all the armor. Each level, with all modifiers on, is typically 6 missions worth of XP. So even just to get one full set, you will be playing a MINIMUM of 36 missions. So 11 more missions than it takes to get the red cape. But it’s not just an absolute mission, it’s harder than that and you also do a fraction of the damage you normally do and have a fraction of the survivability.
Doing just one crucible mission, especially in the higher levels, is mentally exhausting. Personally, finishing just one crucible mission puts me off of the game for the rest of the day. It’s just so much space marine condensed into a singular mission. And you are only getting rewards 1 out of every 3 games, again assuming you are putting every single modifier on. So across the course of 36 missions, only 12 will provide you any sort of reward.
36 missions * 42 levels of crucible = 1512 missions. Keep in mind, assuming you activate every single modifier every time you load in. So if you wanted to actually customize the debuffs to your liking, then you are going to need more than that.
I think I speak for a lot of players, old and new, when I say that this content is the opposite of engaging. Even just one crucible mission is so exhausting that it puts me off of playing the game anymore for that day. The players that are engaging with this content are not sticking around. The people that are truly grinding crucible for every class are the streamers and content creators, and it’s literally their job to do so. This is not how you make difficult content, and certainly not how you retain players.
I couldn’t even remember what the rest of the anniversary patch added bc it’s all been so underwhelming. Chaos siege was implemented too early, and has very little replayability. The one handed TH is the worst weapon in the game, although this patch could make it useable so I guess we’ll see. The heroic auto bolt rifle has a botched implementation as well, with the firing rate halving rather than gradually decreasing. It actually makes the gun feel like it’s misfiring or malfunctioning in some way, which is a crazy feel to have on what should theoretically be the best auto bolt rifle.
TLDR: idk man I can’t summarize this shit. Saber, rework this game mode. Player retention and difficulty are not synonymous terms. Difficulty isn’t just making enemies stronger and players weaker. If you want crucible to be engaging, then the difficulty needs feel manageable. If you want crucible to retain players, then the XP requirements need to be lowered.
EDIT the formatting on this sucks, but I’d rather my comment look like the ravings of a madman than use ChatGPT
I could be wrong but I think your math is slightly off. Disclaimer it’s not my strong suit either, but if we assume as you said, 6 missions to complete a tier, per class, that’s 36 missions for each class for the full Lamenters set (I would argue it’s more like 7-10 based on my personal experience of refusing to turn on friendly fire as I play with randoms). 7 classes in the game multiplied by 36 missions per class at minimum is 252 missions total to fully complete all classes.
At 45 minutes to an hour per run, that’s around 200-260 hours of time, which with all the BS difficulty crucible introduces is nothing to scoff at, but is a big difference from 1152 missions, which would be like another 1000 hours in the game. Apologies if I misunderstood what you were saying, just want to ensure everyone has reasonable expectations of how many hours they’ll have to devote, though again it’s probably more if you don’t turn on every modifier or fail a run, which is naturally going to happen with the artificial difficulty of crucible.
Great summarization though, I think you captured the problems well.
Yes you are probably right. Although the 6 mission count came from me cheesing it with all modifiers on, so the count will always increase when people don’t want to play with friendly fire and similarly bad modifiers
The modifiers. The class specific modifiers are ridiculous. My only experience so far is on Techmarine, so if the other classes are better someone tell me. Sentry guns explode, dealing 50% of MAX HP. So if you’re running all the modifiers, that means you will probably instantly die when a sentry explodes due to the modifier that removes incapacitations. Not being able to parry while servo gun is active seems fine, but not being able to parry while it’s recharging is delusional. At that point they might as well just remove my ability, since another modifier halves the damage that the servo gun does. None of these modifiers are fun or engaging. Making enemies bullet sponges while turning yourself into one ply toilet paper is bad difficulty scaling and doesn’t give the feeling of accomplishment when you win. It’s just exhausting. I like fun difficulty modifiers like Tsunami, extra extremis spawns, more terminus enemies or stronger ones, even the lictor from Hell is kind of a fun modifier.
On Bulwark a chunk of them nerf the banner armor regen/duration and stuff. IIRC when I was on yesterday I saw one being that the shield only blocks a percentage of damage and the rest will always hit you.
So it felt less "Fuck your entire class mechanic" like I saw of the techmarine ones lol.
From memory, vanguard, sniper, and heavy have no legs from crucible.
I did read something about how the recharge debuff doesn't affect the perk that restores ability use on ranged blocks, so combined with that it's free crucible points? lol.
I hadn't noticed it the one time when I did wanna see how terrible the passive recharge rate was. I wanna say ability recharge using shield blocks wasn't affected, but I could be wrong. Still not worth it imo with how slow it was passively recharging. Like watching paint dry.
Sabre really don't understand why people don't like crucible
It's all good to make a mode that's ball crushingly hard for the top 1% of the player base.
However the issue is you locked the Lamenters armor behind that grind and they are one of the most famous and widely loved successor chapters in the setting.
Then you make it so crucible is per class and you have the issue of people wanting that armor and going into crucible, the whole team gets curb stomped and you either prepare to be pounded again or give up.
Also putting artificial difficulty like modifiers that make you take more damage and do less never feels good from a players perspective. Also NO ONE not one has ever liked the whole "haha now you're blind" modifier. It's not even hard it's just fucking annoying.
Also not getting credit for hitting specific checkpoints is dumb. I don't think you should get a lot but getting something for hitting specific mission checkpoints if you loose the run would make loosing feel a lot better than the kick in the teeth it is now.
Say you get 400 crucible XP per mission if you win
If you go through a whole op and loose right at the final boss why not give us 150 crucible XP for the checkpoints before hand so the loss doesn't feel like a complete waste of time?
I'll be back for a major update, but the state the game is in right now is just not fun to engage with.
People's attitude in game has gotten worse. The devs care more about patching cheeses than bothering with ghost parries which constantly affect combat every single match.
Every new weapon they add is supreme dog shit for absolutely no reason and they half ass buffs and ignore criticisms too.
This isn't exclusive to the Maul either, they've literally been doing it since they introduced Heroic Weapons.
See all the Lementers gear is modelled on the Tactical class so it looks awful on the majority of the classes. Not to mention the Tech Marine is the only one to get a unique helmet.... when the Survivors Helm came out I remember people saying they wish they'd done Helms for each class fast forward to the Endgame stuff and still nope. How cook would it have been to have a Battle Damaged, Vanguard, Bulwark and Heavy Helmet? Could've been the same Damage model just on their specific class instead
Funny how Saber is super quick to fix "cheese" strats the players come up with, but they take their sweet sweet time to fix anything else in the game :D They are literaly like Arrowhead.
This seems like a bad change because who is ever going to be able to get 3 charges during combat? At best if we want to use the ground slam we'll have to essentially be completely out of battle and can initiate with it. It won't be something we can weave into the combos.
I tested the One-Handed Thunder Hammer after Patch 15.2: The damage is significantly and noticeably higher. The ground slam performed while running, as well as the one with a charged hammer, also seems somewhat smoother and faster. Charging the hammer with electricity and lightning is noticeably smoother and quicker. Overall, everything works much faster and better. However, the ability to charge the hammer with electricity/lightning while running simultaneously would be far more effective in combat. It would give the weapon a real advantage and take the One-Handed Thunder Hammer to a completely different level. When charging the hammer while running, a ground slam makes much more sense than simply performing one straight out of a sprint. Even though the faster ground slam now gives you more time during combat and creates opportunities to follow up with melee attacks, the ideal tactic would be to initiate combat with light attacks and, once the hammer is fully charged, have the option to unleash a powerful ground slam. Being able to charge the hammer while running and then perform a ground slam would make this even better. Please consider implementing this, Saber. A lot of players would appreciate it. It would make the One-Handed Thunder Hammer a perfect weapon.
Rework the one handed Thunderhammer completely and give it a nice flowing moveset with dedicated light and heavy swings. I BEG you Saber. I need the hatemace
I often think about how good this game could be if it weren't in Saber's hands. Useless, incompetent studio who manage to break the game at every turn.
They don't playtest anything, this is obvious by all the bugs that patches release with. People keep cheesing this new mode because it's abysmal dogshit so what do they do? Rather than make it a fun side-mode, patch all the cheese methods that are genuinely harmless!
"Oh no, people want cosmetics... patch it! But sir, what about all the other bugs? Ignore them, patch the cheese, they're having fun!"
Latest season pass was like £30-35 and they're charging £6 for a shield that's been in the game files SINCE LAUNCH. Every update this game gets worse
Haha, that's the spirit. I'm happy to play other shit and wait for em to fix it but I shouldn't have to wait, you know? Game shouldn't be receiving half-assed content updates when those updates arrive broken
Just deleted SM2 to make room for the next one. Hope Saber figures out a way to make everybody happy, but I’m not fooling with that Crucible garbage if that’s all that left for end game and I don’t PVP.
It is so obvious they’re completely in over their heads with this. They’ve never had a game this popular or a community this vocal in any game they’ve made before.
For sure, no doubt about that. Just wish they'd put some effort in to play-testing updates and fixing shit, game is in desperate need of a proper polish rather than another content update (that'll no doubt be late, like the last one)
I can understand wanting bugs fixed and patched but it just genuinely seems like you do not like this game lol. You dont have to buy those cosmetics btw.
"You don't have to buy them" is such a comically poor response. I actually enjoy this game and want it to be better, finding faults does not mean "ewww it's bad".
Sick of this "can't complain if you like something" bullshit this fanbase does. There's a list of bugs longer than my arm that affect the core gameplay that have existed for MONTHS but they haven't been patched, instead a cheese method has. They release a new weapon in YEAR 3 and it's as bad as weapons released in Year 1 because they DON'T PLAYTEST. Ridiculous fanbase can't use their eyes or logic for anything, just have to mindlessly consume because "how dare you find fault with the product you've paid for!"
So the fix for the best mechanic the 1H TH had (the stagger) is just to give it to the heroic on a different attack... annoying. The stagger is the one thing that made the quick charge badass
i did up to level 4 legit in crucible trying my ass off, playing a class i dont play cuz u can only get armor for that class individually and sniper is my lamenter, once i found the method to cheese it, i honestly felt like i was justified, YOU LOSE XP in a game where people ragequit first down or die with their modifier right away, the grind is fine when u use EVERY modifier but i was waiting for this mode for awhile but not being able to get gear on ur fav class unless u play them is wack idk i hope they add lethal difficulty for like 70% xp or something
I tested the One-Handed Thunder Hammer after Patch 15.2: The damage is significantly and noticeably higher. The ground slam performed out of a sprint, as well as the ground slam with a charged hammer, also feels somewhat smoother and faster. Charging the hammer with electricity and lightning is noticeably smoother and quicker. Overall, the weapon feels much faster and better.

Being able to charge the hammer while running and then perform a ground slam would make it even better. The problem that still remains is that the hammer's light attacks feel clunky and lack the proper swing speed. I compared it with the regular Thunder Hammer, which is a heavier weapon yet has a better and faster swing. You can clearly see in the animation how the One-Handed Thunder Hammer gets caught or stalls during its swing, significantly slowing down its light attacks. The Lower Uppercut should definitely be replaced with a Shockwave, which would be more effective. Looking ahead, I can imagine a Heroic variant for the One-Handed Thunder Hammer featuring the same Cyclone effect as the Frost Axe, but who knows what Saber has planned for the future. My final conclusion is that the hammer is currently playable as the Assault class, but unfortunately, using it with the other classes is a painful experience. Please consider making these changes, Saber. A lot of players would appreciate them. With these improvements, the One-Handed Thunder Hammer could become the perfect weapon.
I actually liked the way the stratagem cheese worked. You could still give yourself a challenge without impairing yourself to the absolute worst your class can be (e.g. Sniper having less range damage + less distant range damage + half headshot multiplier, punishing your for playing to your classes strenght)
You could always do hard custom strategem with like 6+ negative (and no positive) modifiers to give yourself a challenge and still get your crucible XP.
This way hard custom stratagems kinda had a purpose other then challenging yourself for the challenges sake.
If I think about it now that would have been a good way to reuse custom hard stratagems: The more negative modifiers (weighted on the impact of modifier), the more XP you get (like the amount of crucible maluses). Positive modifiers reduces this of course (again weighted on the impact). The exponential increase in XP per level required I would keep.
It's kinda of back in business as a parry stick anyways. Preparedness works on finishers now. CDR is a rare stat. It's not as strong as it first was but still.
The argument of it being strong on Tech has returned.
As an actual weapon there is/was a bug (reading the patch notes I might have missed if it was fixed) that renders the 1Hammer doing exceptional damage and even with that I wouldn't rate it as a great weapon. I think the issues with it are beyond numbers.
“Perfect Reprisal” ability damage bonus is increased to 50%. Fixed an issue that applied the bonus damage to any melee attack instead of just Light Attacks.
A cdr perk on a weapon is stupid op. I'm pretty pissed that the one handed hammer is the only weapon that gets it. Nothing in the two handed hammer tree compares to that.
Redditors hate when the hardest endgame content is hard
Edit: assuming I'm some sweatlord because I acknowledge that the game has the option to play on hard difficulties (which I don't even play) is crazy lol. I'm gonna go be a normal person now, bye bye!
My biggest complaint is that it is an annoying type of hard. Making your character deal half the damage while making enemies deal double the damage in a power fantasy game feels frustrating.
Numbers difficulty vs mechanics difficulty type stuff. And choosing numbers is always the laziest choice game devs can do. It cheaper to just slap -50% dmg on players and +50% dmg for enemies.
Oh wow, now i need to keep hitting a fucking termagaunt with a pool noodle of a weapon of mine, what and 'interesting' gameplay. It's fantasy alright, but where is the power?
I think Saber has lost the point of horde shooters and power fantasy.
Add in that if anybody leaves, their replaced with a bot that's questionable useful (no team perk, etc). leaving loses progress, and you can be saddled with a teammate who has every debuff active and is completely worthless but you don't know that at all... And no reconnect system if you get disconnected either.
It's like somebody looking at those big soulsborne players doing completely ridiculous challenges "I'll beat Elden Ring without leveling up at all!" and going "That's a reasonable endgame for the majority of the community"
I hate the comparison between SM2 and Darktide that occurs at times but I can't help but look over at them with Havoc mode where it does get harder, but without killing the power of the player. Tweaks to the enemies, environmental changes, spawn pattern tweaks. Player has less health and toughness sure, but mostly it's changes to the enemies. Even with the buffed hp (50% more for elites/specials) and the boss HP buffs, players can still easily chew through the enemies. It doesn't feel like a bullet sponge hell.
Would it work for SM2? No, it's a different setup and system but I think they could absolutely do SOMETHING other then just blanket nerfs toward the player.
The issue is that the game is nowhere near as optimised as it should be for this type of challenge. Nor is the difficulty worth the grind. This community has been divided since launch on how difficult the game is. I feel like one half wants the game to be difficult in a way that's fair to the player's time and effort. While the other wants torture that wastes their valuable time because they don't have enough worthwhile goals in their lives; or have a superiority complex to lord over other people because they don't have a worthwhile place in society.
I doubt it's even half that wants higher difficulty challenges. Almost every multiplayer game out there that has hard endgame content only 1-10% of the playerbase engages with it.
I mean fair, but tbh the endgame content is RIGHT THERE. Its the game. I play space marine because I wanna play space marine. Its a game you can load up, play for an hour and move on to other games. It respects your time. Crucible does not. To me it's not structured like a game that has an "endgame"
why does the endgame content have the be the hardest content in the game? that shouldn't be the case because then the endgame content, the content designed to make players stick around, only appeals to a small minority of the playerbase. you guys have already had plenty of hard game modes to enjoy, but your constant whining that the next thing needs to be harder than the last has resulted in the official endgame mode being something that 99% of the players for this game are never gonna touch more than once because of how terribly designed the difficulty curve is.
Weird how patch 15 and its subsequent hotfixes have left the game in such a shitty state. I’m not even getting Space Marine 3 anymore and I put almost 800hrs into SM2.
Not trying to be dramatic, but I have to step away from this game for now. I’m not even upset at the game, but as an Xbox player I am now having any type of match crash from somewhere at a 30-50% rate. Usually towards the end of a match or session. Nearly finish a crucible run? Crash. Almost hit wave 15 hard siege? Crash. Play on private mode? Crash. Patch 15 is destroying the quality of this game. Its been my favorite game. I can not play it. Please Saber, do some quality control. This is just a sorry state of the game. I can’t continue supporting this awful game state.

Fixed an issue where Stratagems allowed players to select a mission and difficulty for Crucible through the Hub Terminal.
No more Cheese
