I just have question about this maybe I looked at it wrong but if I have a part that says it increase armor to 303 and then put another one on that says it increases it to 264 do they stack making it 567 or take the highest and makes it only 303?
If you have more than one on, they both add to you armor value and stack.
Good news. Hopefully you can keep refining the system based on future feedback. Whilst I'm comfortable flying around, once combat kicks in, I have trouble controlling my character, often flying into stuff by accident (along with the stun that accompanies the crash), having skills go off in the wrong direction and general confusion. Would also help if we could zoom out during combat as well because even with an ultra-wide screen monitor it's really hard to see what's going on around me.
Still positive though, still positive :)
Hey Aircool! Are you playing on console or PC?
Edit: looks like PC based on the monitor comment. So I think a lot of the PC control updates that we’ve made should address this (for flying and swimming especially). We are also looking into improving casting in cursor direction rather than javelin direction for several gears pieces.
Also investigating FoV settings and what challenges we need to solve there.
This can be nice ultimate idea tho. Earthshaker... Jumps and hits the ground with immense powaa. Shakes the screen, breaks the ground+good sound effect.. yeah
I'm fan of the colossus ''say hello to my little friend'' ult but alternatives can be useful. Colossus and Storm ultimates are orgasmic btw^
Not a bad idea, :)
Just out of curiosity, if red = armor and blue = shields, what do you guys refer to the yellow bars as?
Yellow bars are for armored creatures, red is for Javelin armor.
Shield regen cooldown fine imo. It's a nice challenge. But their shields ridiculously strong. You already can't crit or combo against it. Making shield high kills the fun. Less shield/more hp would be much better. Yellow hp enemies much more fun to kill due to high hp without shield.
My second complaint is combo damage. We can't see it. Combo floaty masks it or it's hidden. I think big damage numbers is satisfying. I should see the high damage number specially when i play ranger because it has high single target combo damage.
Yeah we’d worked on showing combo floaties but it was quite a problem to solve. We may take another crack at that one.
Did the event end? Tried to load freeplay twice now, nothing happening anymore.
No it should be up for some time, the server is probably still just rolling over 😊.
i keep seeing in threads, "yeah man, i just quit out after the second chest, no loot from the last boss" how miss informed are you? While technically true, you still get loot from completing the mission. https://imgur.com/a/Z0M00AE sure it might be faster to quit out and reque and get loot faster by just running the first 2 chests if you're bad at boss dps. but if you want the path of least resistance for the most loot...go play freeplay instead and just run around looting chests and doing events.
the whole not getting loot in a chest at the end of the dungeon is kinda anti climatic sure, but you still get loot.
We're working on making it a bit more clear and celebratory 😊.
Yep this is working as intended, though the frost stacks might be building a little too fast on those turrets 😊.
They are restarting servers left and right, give it 30 minutes (making an assumption)
Yeah, it'll take a little bit for the servers to fully roll over 😊.
Thank you for being so responsive on the forums.
And not just quick responses, but actual great detail. Hugely appreciated and likely to tilt me toward buying the full game!
/epic high five
Thanks North! Just happy to help where I can.
So shield strength increase components on the Colossus makes his deployable shield stronger?
Yes that’s correct. :)
Turns out I did turn them off. I guess I thought they were the the dying indicator, like redness edging the screen. Turned them back on and my damage done is back. My apologies, completely forgot I was looking around settings.
No worries! Just glad it wasn’t something else haha. <3
Xbox. Was playing with my buddy and he had the same issue. Even a few squad members hit the wall on a tight turn because you can’t see the turn. It’s the first tunnel with the mines. Like I said, maybe the intent wasn’t to fly through it and actually walk? Hence the mines? I just think a small shoulder or chest mounted flashlight would help a lot with visibility in dark places.
Yeah each javelin does have a headlamp, but overall I have seen feedback on PS4 and Xbox that brightness in some areas is a problem. I’ll pass this one on.
Haha, well thats not as bad as what I thought, but still, that just compounds on y'alls already busy schedule. Hopefully things die down a little bit on y'alls end after launch, though I understand post launch takes a metric shit ton of resources as well. Hopefully it dies down a little just in case reddit does triple or something. Just remember, y;all are doing y'alls best and that is all we could ever ask :)
<333
Didn’t want to turn more than one dial at a time in this case
Perfect. Changes one by one, specially if you keep this fantastic pace, are all that is needed.
I always make the (somewhat Texan) analogy that it’s like smoking brisket. When you are trying to fine tune a new smoke, you can’t change two or three things at a time because then you might spend 12-18 hours and it comes out terrible and you may not know what caused it. One thing at a time!
I think you might have a point. Paging /u/biocamden
Youuuuuu raaaang? Yeah we’ll take a look. I think right now part of the problem is that we limit how many active ammo/health drops there are in the world for each person to 3. If we upped this then you’d have more on the field lingering to ammo up your Ranger. Something we can think about.
I've had this thought myself. We as the dev team need to have a real talk discussion about the player experience while downed and we need to improve it. /u/biocamden Since this is all you. :)
I vote Peggle or maybe minesweeper added to the UI.
Hey Camden, nice seeing you continuing your replying lol. You are a replying machine :P But anyways, just thought I would ask since I personally see it happen a lot, but on average how many times do y'all get tagged a day? lol, I bet it is insanely high, just kinda wondering at a look into the inbox of a Bioware reddit box lol. Thanks again for all the hard work y'all have been putting in, and honestly can't wait for y'alls surprise y'all have in store for us later today.
Hey Alizaea! :) I usually get about 25 replies, 2-5 direct messages, and ~10 tags in my inbox per day. I try to stay in top of them all, I’d say I reply to 80% of them. Im just hoping that doesn’t like... triple after launch or I may not be able to keep up haha.
I get that for swimming, but I’m also talking all low light areas. For instance, in the stronghold, when trying to fly through the tunnels, it’s hard to see when a turn is coming. Unless that’s the design intent to make you walk instead?
Oh hrm which platform are you playing on?
I have a BWPls item for shields: can we get the shield bar separated into blocks like the health bar.
also let us turn on numbers on those so we can see our raw health and shield numbers in real time.
Hey Kazan! It’s definitely a good suggestion. And something we’ll probably have to solve soon. Especially as our resident tank Javelin starts to get ludicrous health and the “pips” get smaller and smaller...
