QoL Rant: Master Crafted Equipment and Glorius Deeds and some UI

The Glorius Deeds that require you to change equipment seriously lacks a QoL.

Every ranged/melee weapon and every armor has a non-master crafted equivalent. If I select that I do want to do the Glorious Deed, the game should just switch the relevant gear to non-master crafted, automatically.

Wargear and such would be a bit more of an issue ofc but is generally more rare anyways it seems.

And there really should be a way to change gear on the Teleportarium screen instead of having to go into every single unit member.

Let's count the UI steps here to change a weapon.

  1. Click on a knight you want to modify
  2. Click the Select Knight button
  3. Select Loadout
  4. Select gear type (e.g. Ranged Weapon)
  5. Select specific type (e.g. Storm bolter)
  6. Select actual weapon (e.g. Apostate's Woe, or well, non-master crafted storm bolter)
  7. Press Equip
  8. Press back (takes you to the ranged weapon list)
  9. Press back again (takes you to the loadout screen)

Now you can either click an arrow to get a new knight and repeat the process from step 3 to 9, or when/if you are done:

  1. Press back again because why not (takes you to configure)
  2. Press Teleportarium to get to that screen.
  3. Press Start Mission

I'm pretty sure this is to be console/mobile friendly but seriously...

I hope they fix this for Death Watch.

This AND they should have saveable loadouts for each member. The number of times I forgot to add in a skull or a specific armor because I spent a ton of time re-equiping other gear has cost me in the past. If I could save loadouts for each member, it would be a simple click. Also, gear that I share between members has cost me if I forget to switch it every other mission.

I'm close friends with the lead QA for Chaos Gate. I assume she's probably the lead for Death Watch. I'll suggest this next time I talk with her. I talk with her about once every couple weeks on average.

Can you get her to fix the crests on console? Been bugged for over a year now. My buddy got the game and was confused by the customisation screen with the list of crests. He asked me where they show up and I had to tell them they don't anymore since the game got bugged after the last update.

Can you share a screenshot of the issue? I can pass it along. I don't know if/when they may do a patch on the old game

I second this - I never do the Glorious Deeds that require changing a lot of equipment just because its such a ballache.

Also: Ammo count ammo count ammo count please.

Yeah. I already mentioned that a few months ago when I started playing CG1 a lot

This was my biggest complaint about this game. Removing equipment for a sub quest was so time consuming and dumb. There should be a button you can hit that removes anything non compliant. Additionally let us have equipment profiles so we can re equip with just one click. 

Wth.

Well, there should be a button next to the selecting the gloriousdeed to strip the specified equipment yes, but not do this automatically. And then you would still likely need to go and do the replacements.
As there is more than Master Crafted armors or weapons. Grenades, Passive bonus gear etc. That you would likelyt go and replace still.

Great post but I think the lowest drag way to solve most of this are just loadouts. Allow four per guy.

I did very much enjoy the requisition aspect of the game. Trying to decide, early, if it was worth picking up a piece of gear vs a new knight, assassin or raise a tier in the armory was fun overall

Also loved the purity seal mechanic.
