Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has embraced a non-live-service model, which players appreciate, but recent issues arose from the Imperial Vigil event, held from February 21 to March 3. Players sought to earn a coveted helmet through a community challenge, but the event's faulty tracking and accessibility created frustration. Complaints about the locking of cosmetics behind a time-limited event echo concerns regarding FOMO tactics. The developers reaffirmed their commitment to avoid a full live-service structure, appealing to gamers seeking a game that remains enjoyable without constant pressure to engage.
"We are not looking to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live-service game," the developers said, attempting to reassure players after the Imperial Vigil event frustration.
Players felt frustrated as a cool in-game cosmetic was locked behind a timed event, and many experienced issues with the event's progress tracking.
The event had to be taken offline twice for fixes, further complicating player experiences and reinforcing the sentiment against a live-service model.
