Original Post — Direct link

We've been waiting for what feels like an eternity for new/enjoyable content with the constant delays that I've just grown bored of the game. It's a great game and I love the combat and characters but I can't help but feel nothing when I play anymore.

SE please just be more transparent, hype us up by telling us what you're doing behind the scenes. Let us know how EVERYTHING is coming along in development and don't tease us as much, that line about saying you're excited to reveal the date for Kate but not now was unnecessary and in bad taste.

The playerbase IS dying and probably won't come back as much as you're hoping but please don't give up.

Without going into things that haven't been revealed. The team is working primarily on all things Kate/Clint along with bugs and QOL issues. A small group is working on new things that won't be ready for a while and when Kate and Clint are done more people will move over to new things. There's a small group working on a better version of loot which won't be ready for a while as well. We also have a small group working on content drop that can be executed with existing assets which is how we get things like Tachyon missions.

The entire dev team is still working on the game. I get that you guys are frustrated but trying to spin everything i say into something negative isn't helping anything.

Hi Phil, can we get some insight on the recent change to challenge 3/4 not scaling enemies up? Was this something that was intended?

Hang in there the internet is a savage land. <3

Genuinely don't know on that one but i am asking.

Just wanna say that I appreciate some insights and info like this and don't have any idea how much ire you draw by just saying things but I'd honestly like some more updates like this even if it's not much you can talk about or give details. I kind of assumed a lot of this already.

Could you give any idea of how much things like lockdowns or the fires have impacted the workflow of working on the game, just out of curiosity? I'm just curious if it's really disrupted things pretty bad or if it's more other hurdles have gotten in the way.

Unfortunately more than we would have liked, working from home isn't the end of the world fundamentally but for some people who relied on the studio resources, it has been challenging. That said, the duration isn't something we had ever imagined and we couldn't plan for the last 6months or so of production to be done fully remotely. Ill ask to see how much we are allowed to discuss but there are things that changed on us at the last minute. The wildfires did displace some team members but the power outages and internet issues were worst. The thing with the internet is that even if its just slower, downloading a build for the game can take a very long time so for some people its slowed down their ability to review some content. It's really hard to talk about this because i see a lot of posts about how we are using Covid as an excuse. I have friends who work with us who have lost people dear to them because of Covid, it's not an excuse its the reality of our world and we're adjusting as best we can. Game studios provide a quiet place to work, high speed internet, IT resources and a TON of things you might not think about when you think about making games. We hate delays as much as you guys do, we are doing the best we can given the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in. Its made predicting when content is done a lot harder because while we can rely on a specific velocity in the studio, with everyone remote it can swing widely. Best thing i can say is the whole team is constantly trying to work smarter and faster, everyone is still hard at work on this game but content doesn't happen overnight. So to answer your question, the impact is very real and serious but a lot of us have overcome the challenge and things are a little more normal though for some people this is a very challenging time.

Edit: Fixed some spelling

Thanks Phil! Keep us posted!

Can you give me more info? I'm not seeing a bug like you are describing. Is this in game? is it the UI not showing? Where are you seeing this and on which platform? Thanks!
