    Last night in Deathwatch

    I was at chapter 4 Heroic;

    My team was:
    1 - T4 Tactical Marine ( Ultramarine )
    2 - T3 Tactical Marine ( Ultramarines )
    1 - T3 Tactical Marine ( Blood Angel )
    1 - T2 Assault Marine ( Blood Angel )

    After opening 50-60 packs since day 1, these were what I got; only 1 T4 marine and 3 T3 marines and all was tacticals...

    I was losing hope of getting T4 marines and things can get really ugly in Heroic with underpowered marines. I was like... lets give it another go.

    4-1 was not hard, 4-2 only 2 marines survived, 4-3 only 2 marines survived and 4-4;
    Boss came in I gave it all I got and take it down to 2500 hp in 2 turns using a stun grenade and in 3rd turn he just ran away... yes he ran away, regened to 7500 hp ( it regens 1000 hp per turn ), came back and wiped my whole party in 1 turn. Second try; Some lucky shots from T3 Blood Angel and his Firescream killed him in the 2nd turn while it was stunned.

    Got my pack, Thinking it has a T1 or T2 Ultramarine as always, I opened it, guess what? A WOLF GUARD... WOLF GUARD !!! I was like "What a day! What a lovely Day!!!"... Ok sold the trash from the pack, bought a second pack. I just got a T4 marine so the chance of getting a new T4 was zero but I was hoping for T3 assault marine because all my higher tier marines were tacticals... Opened it... got a "LONE WOLF"... and I felt like a stun grenade exploded on my face :D

    Deathwatch makes me feel like a kid back in '92 playing UFO: enemy unknown. :D

    This game man... This game...

    Hmm, thought it might be the case. This is the second co wiping bug I've come across, I'll admit that I'm getting pretty sick of it.

    I got 4 of the guys before the patch - the only teir 4's I recieved. In the handful of packs I've opened since then, I've gotten 3 T3 marines I'd never seen before, and - yay! - a T4 that isn't Lone Wolf.

    Good RNG, good boy.

    I'm happy enough now ...

    ... that I feel a little bad Matthew had somebody whacked over it.

    If you send me your saved game I can give you all of your XP back.

    Yep, they met the fate of Old Yeller

    The guys from Creative Assembly were there, showing off Total Warhammer (This is the name I call it, because that's what it should have been called).

    I didn't take any pics because I was showing off Deathwatch and chatting about new and up coming Deathwatch things with the guys. We had a good time and Pizza for lunch.

    I'm sad about no pictures but I'm sure we all would forgive you if you spill the beans about the upcoming Deathwatch things.
    Or the Charmed Chrono.

    :p

    I know chuboi has. Probably others as well, but not many. The last 5-6 items (and obviously all the marines) are pack drops, so you're at the mercy of the RNG gods, which can make things rough without bribing Matt to "modify" your save file >.>

    I've heard it whispered in select circles that the only way to truly know what the Charmed Chrono© does is to brazenly sell off all of your lovingly hoarded Chronos, only then will its secrets be revealed to you.

    (disclaimer: I am not responsible for the loss of any or all of your Charmed Chronos©, always sell responsibly)

    I don't really have the time to search through 2,955 comments, but if anyone has a quick answer, that'd be great:

    I've been getting an annoying error and I wanted to see if others are experiencing it. Occasionally the game will just get stuck during the enemy's turn (when all of the enemies are hidden in the fog of war). It's not a freeze-up or a crash; the music keeps playing and I occasionally hear an offscreen snarl, but it won't switch back to my turn. At that point the only option I'm left with is to Abort, which of course causes my marines lose ALL of their XP. (yay)

    Anyone?

    Dear RodeoMatthew.
    Is there any info about new content in the game in the new patches/addons? Except multiplayer.

    I'll add to be patient with the game. Sometimes it takes quite a while to finish a turn for the AI (mainly with hive guard and psychic powers from what I've seen), so give it a minute or two. If you still don't have any luck, close the app and restart it. It will eventually unstick. Once again, patience is in order, as it can take 10+ attempts (but usually 2-5 for me). As a last resort, you can send your save file to rodeo support and they'll skip you past the hickup
