Here we are again, Exiles,

After the feedback we collected in the previous thread we tweaked the values for the new momentum-based movement. We adjusted the acceleration to levels that should get rid of most of the lack of responsiveness and sluggishness many of you expressed were the main points of contention you had with the new system, while still keeping most of the improvements this new system brings.

These new tweaks are already available on PC (read the patch notes here), and will reach consoles shortly after. For those of you who have tried the new changes, please let us know your opinion on it.
As a clarification:

  • We are interested in your opinion on the new tweaks once you have tried them. At the moment this is only possible on PC. We have already collected enough data about the first iteration of this movement system.
  • This feedback should be focused about the movement system, not the dodge roll changes.
  • As a general rule, please be civil and constructive in your feedback. This does also apply when interacting with other members of our community.

Thank you all for your continued feedback and support.

I would like to point out two things here:

  1. It was not rolled back. It was adjusted, as the momentum is still there just not as extreme. If the feedback keeps coming, we can adjust more as needed. That is the reason constructive feedback is so important.
  2. It’s always difficult to find a good balance in working with feedback as it is impossible to make everyone happy. That is why we are trying to quantify feedback as much as we can (not only from our forums but from all platforms that we get feedback on). Even though something might feel wrong to one side, it feels right for the other. I totally understand that it’s frustrating if you don’t agree with adjustment/changes.

However, with the momentum changes and other previous adjustments: We will add settings to private servers so the owners can decide values for themselves. For our official servers, this is a decision that we have to make based on our best judgement and taking said quantification of feedback into consideration. :slight_smile:

Not really liking to use “literally” much in a sentence as it’s been overused during the last few years, but. This is literally a value adjustment.
Rolling back the whole system would require quite a lot of work at this stage, and it’s something we don’t really plan on doing as we feel this new system brings many improvements -easily noticeable or not.
Should now that value be too low, please let us know as well and we’ll continue to adjust and tweak until we can reach a point in which the majority of our players feel it’s right.
