There's a bunch of roadmap type stuff in the news update too.
In Mid-December there'll be update 27, with custom beer mugs and some other things that need promotion (one day!). There's more stuff in the new year, they're overhaulling perks (which I think are perfectly fine tbh), giving pickaxe skins (I'm a sucker for skins) and then many more mission types before 1.0 (yay!).

It'd be nice to get at least one dwarf up to promotion to see what the additional content they added last update was like. It's a bit of a grind though I got most of my classes up to the second weapon cert without too much effort but so far even the highest level dwarf the driller is five levels from promotion and hasn't gone up a level in the last couple of sessions we played. I guess we're supposed to take harder missions or something but everytime I try that I just get ganked within the first few minutes off the drop pod and I know the difficulty for more people goes up not down so groups isn't likely to help not sure how anyone runs harder than 3 difficulty let alone the upper hazard levels 5-10.
Maybe I'll spend some time grinding up to promotion on the driller just to see what you open up I finished off greedfall and red dead 2 so not currently got any story games that are compelling me to finish them
Your point on grind is well put. I've played the scout pretty much solely since we started playing again and I haven't gone up any levels recently. To be fair, it's still my favourite chill-shooter.
Now that we have GTAO working well enough (I put in another session this week without crash, pretty the streaming was taking it too far) I imagine that we'll pop back in every so often!
Still wanna try vs humans in Rocket League, I think we'd do really well.
I popped into deep rock for a quick game or two and found there is now a special christmas assignment a one off that gifts a bunch of stuff (most requiring promotion to use) also there are presents (filled with little biters and confetti) and christmas tree ornaments now scattered about the world. Very festive
Awesome! I saw it on the dev live feed, I didn't know if it was just their dev branch that they show off.
Let's pencil that in for Sunday! :)
I managed to get my Driller to promotion how it works seems to be it resets your level to 1 and then unlocks the various extra things like the forge for weapon overclocks and deep dives (not sure what those are yet).
You get an additional weekly mission that allows you to get the core matrixes which give you overclocks and cosmetic thing. I'm not sure if some of the other in game events that until now didn't do anything now work.
Not got the new beer licence thing yet either not sure how you get that
