    Now that you mention it...
    I've been away from this game for several months now.
    Does anyone have some news about multiplayer patch? As long as I remember, it was planned as the 1.2, but then the RNG issue took its place. Now we're at 1.3 but still no multiplayer.
    Do we have some words from Matthew about multiplayer, state of the game and future plans or did they just move onto the next project leaving just a couple of guys on Deathwatch to sort out the remaining bugs? That would be a pity. According to beta testers, multiplayer was really fun :/

    Nice feature/bug.
    Thank you, Rodeo

    Fixes for hangs? Please tell me there are more fixes not listed in the patch notes. There are so many other gameplay bugs that Rodeo said they're aware of. Aren't ANY of them fixed!?

    There should be a feature to skip enemy turn

    I can't decide on the biggest let-down: the fact that you have to press fast-forward every turn or the new app icon.

    Matthew has left Rodeo, he said that the multiplayer delay was due to iOS 9 and game centre issues its a pity Deathwatch is an amazing game but have little motivation to play it at the minute.

    I've actually returned to the office for today so I have access to the deets.

    There are fixes for other things, not just listed. I didn't write the patch notes as I haven't been in the office.

    Can't please everyone.

    Literally nothing we can do, multiplayer doesn't work because of Gamecenter. I wish I could tell you something different, but there's nothing for us to do.

    The patch today (1.3) contains Russian language and fixes to the remaining issues.

    Hi Matt. Thanks for the reply. New bug: overwatch now fails frequently, on every mission I've tried so far. My guys just stand there with blue dots. Sometimes they do fire, but often they don't. I'm using the fast forward button. I'll see if they start shooting when I stop using it and report back.

    Edit: nope, they still just stand around doing nothing even without FF pressed. I was hoping to see old bugs fixed, not new bugs added. Poor show.

    Any chance at an IAP that brings the loot tables and other scaling from the desktop version to this one? I'd pay the $2.99 up front and $4.99 for an IAP that does this, as someone previously mentioned to me ITT, but I'm probably never going to buy card "packs" or whatever.

    I'm noticing the same overwatch-bug, both with and without FF


    Also, question: how can i (semi)realiably take down "biggies" in veteran (and ofc later heroic) when they are critical immune?
    Now atm i carryover my AP's on my devastator + Deadeye + auspex + beastslayer + first company relic = Dead big bug. But when they are crit immune, they tend to survive. Now against the first carnifex and first broodlord this is still doable since the are pretty much alone, but in later missions i'm starting to feel scared against multiple biggies....

    Power fists and 8AP plasma shots are your best bets, along with anything that gives +dmg (obviously not +Crit).

    Same thing was asked about 50-60 pages ago. The answer was no. We can't even get the multiplayer yet, not to mention the new characters.

    As in "he no longer works for them"?? ###

    Thank you Matthew you took the time to reply. I'm sorry to hear about you and Rodeo. I'm also sorry that a great game is being left crippled by Apple's design choices. For small developers having an ever-changing and game-breaking platform to work with is simply something that makes developing games one step closed to impossible.

    I hope the PC version earns you all the credit you deserve and wish best luck to you and Rodeo.
    Even if not everything you had planned has come to Deathwatch on iOS, this is a great game and I hope to see more little gems like this in the future.

    Unfortunately, yes, he mentions it three or four pages back, its a real pity he was so helpful on this thread. On a slightly different note, updated the game and got five card packs for doing so, got a second sanguinary guard out of it, not as awesome as a second lone wolf of course but still nice :)

    I really appreciate the upgrade sign showing up in the spacemarines menu. Never knew which were eligible for upgrades.

    Ok holy sh*t :D
    i'm on the updated version (1.3)

    I'm running A7M3 to try and farm some Sagas of the ironwolf, and a MEDUSA (t4 plasmapistol) drops!
    There's a loot-table (see forumpage 346) which needs updating...

    Owyeah: edit, veteranmode

    Unfortunately, I can confirm that patch 1.3 broke the overwatch mechanic. My marines randomly decide not to shoot enemies during the enemy turn if they're on overwatch. Please fix this asap.

    Overwatch is def totally messed up.

    As it would seem, Rodeo is as well. Shame. So much potential for add-ons for this.

    Yeah played through a few missions tonight and overwatch is odd to say the least, it sometimes works once or not at all then despite having remaining AP it just stops working without getting shot or attacked in combat, annoying!
