Mods unlocked the thread so I'll put this here now.

In regards to the damage formula, the primary concern is that too many things stack additively as opposed to multiplicatively. Currently, damage is calculated as follows:

DAMAGE = (Base * (1+A)*B*(1+C)*D*E)+1

where

• A is sum of all damage bonuses on gear.
• B is the base crit multiplier of your weapon/ability.
• C is the sum of all critical damage modifiers
• D is the damage type modifier (things like Lightning doing more damage to shields)
• E is the sum of all debuff modifiers. Currently just Target Beacon/Taunt (33% each and they don't stack with each other) and Acid (25%) for a Max of +58% damage.

The issue here is that almost...

As a discord we have agreed upon many of the issues and devised multiple solutions for each of the said issues.

Our issue has been relaying this information as many of the solutions require input from the devs, the limitations they have etc.

Feedback and solutions on mechanics cannot just be read and implemented. Things like this need to be discussed.

Asking for more loot can be taken at face value, but talking about core mechanics require a two way street

Please, can you pass them that loot bug too, as of now we don't have confirmation its acknowledged :

Some of us are getting a really weird loot bug, whether on PC, Xbox or PS4 :

GM1 / GM2 / Only white and green loots !? The loot part of the last patch went reversed for us!

Playing as ranger at lvl 30 on GM1 or GM2, and every activity as of stronghold, mission, freeplay, except the final chest of Strongholds where two purple and one MW drops, each other loot or chest give me or white or green loot, and ONLY white and green, this since 1.0.3 patch. Repaired the game, unistalled then reinstalled changed nothing.

Bioware, are you aware about that ?

You can see other complaint and pictures here : EA Bug report

Yea I've gotten 2-3 legendaries since the update, none have been for the javelin I'm using. A friend of mine, hes gotten 5 legendaries, not a single 1 has been for his javelin. Either its a bug or they're trying to increase the grind in a dumb way.

A legendary drop should always be usable by the javelin your using when getting the drop. Not sure if possible for MW drops, but its annoying enough that my almost none existent legendary drops are now going towards other javelins I have never used once.

Hey there, Brenon. I feel badly piling on here, but since you seem to go so far above and beyond when it comes to responding to these kinds of thing, I was wondering if there's any chance you might be able to take a look at the way ability recharge works for javelin abilities with multiple charges.

As things stand now, if you have an ability with 2 charges, and you fire off charge #1, it will, as expected, immediately begin to recharge charge #1. However, if you fire off charge #2 before charge #1 has finished recharging, you lose all the progress you had towards the recharge of charge #1. This means that once you've fired off charge #2, it will begin recharging charge #2 from 0. At that point, if you're in any kind of extended engagement, it really doesn't matter that you have extra charges, since you're either waiting double the recharge time for 2 charges, or the normal recharge time for 1. Assuming you time your uses perfectly from that point on, your effe...

To add on to this, this masterwork effect does technically work - I get the combo proc bonus effects, but there's no combo text/effect or AoE damage.

Awesome, thank you! Enjoy your day off. You all deserve it.

Just to add to that, Stasis Chain, the Storm ability has the same issue of no detonation. Could be the ability text is poorly worded, but I figured I would add this since it seems to be the exact same issue.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

I'd like to extend appreciation for taking time to read our concerns for the game. I know many of us on Reddit are frustrated, and frankly I think they're right. They may express that in a not-so-nice way but please know it's because of the passion the community has for this game. I absolutely love the game itself but I do feel that if it takes months to "fix" loot, it's going to leave a much more sour taste in the community's collective mouth.

If you want to take incremental changes to make loot exactly where you guys want it, start from too much and cut back instead of incrementally increasing. I promise people would be much less frustrated that way.
