Your first video is great! Although I would have preferred if it was done in the studio rather than being done at their own personal time. The video and sound quality varies from person to person so consistency would be appreciated. Perhaps take no more than hour to answer everything inside your studio and have one, two, or three people on the couch answering questions with little cuts in between just like an interview style (which is what you suggested).

Totally!! I am going to try this next time <3 Thank you for watching!

Thanks for answering my question in this one! I was very excited seeing my question popping up and getting a detailed answer from Travis was even better. I highly appreciate the level of involvement by the devs. Looking forward to the next one :)

OMG YAY!!!!! That makes me so happy.

Thanks for posting this video, I love a good dev diary, it's always interesting to see a little bit behind the scenes and understand some of the mindset behind design choices.

In terms of feedback I could see an interview style working a bit better, I liked the video but the slightly long pauses to show the questions kind of throws off the flow a little bit. Personally I'd love to see a diary that showed off all the work that must go into making one of these Behemoths, as they really are the stars of the show.

I love that you loved it!! I totally agree, and I think next time I will try the interview style <3

/u/bunheadwhat is this gonna be how bi-weekly qna are gonna be responded too or is this something different from the bi-weekly qna? also how do you guys choose the questions, where exactly in the reddit/forum can we throw our questions to?

Hey!! This will not be biweekly, but rather when we have a big update / specific content to gear the questions towards. These questions were taken from the bi weekly q&a threads that we post on reddit and the forums!

This video is meant to go into a lot of detail and provide transparency <3 It's our first dev diaries, and I am looking for feedback!! The next one may be more of an interview style with me asking the questions, and perhaps more conversational. Please let me know what you think of this one!!

Hey! This is a great question.

As Xeliph called out elsewhere in the comments, this is partially to encourage queue health. If you had to exclusively farm a single behemoth for 100 hunts to max out their weapon, queues would get massively fragmented, and that problem would only get exacerbated as more behemoths were added to the game. Patrols are a balance against that.

Additionally, we think it would be somewhat fatiguing to fight a single behemoth 100 times in a row. We find that most people like a little more variety in their hunts.

We CERTAINLY want to make sure you've fought a Behemoth a bunch in order to build and max their gear. The whole premise of the game is building gear out of the parts of behemoths you've slain. We picked several keystone levels (+1, +6, +10) to require a variety of parts to make sure you've beaten the behemoth a number of times at each threshold of difficulty.

Maybe the balance is off? Perhaps we should require some par...

I have no options to replace the 2nd barrel with, it doesn't even show itself on the equip screen.
If i need a mod to replace it with, what mastery rank is that?

That is because you need to unlock a mod first. You will need to unlock a Capacitive Magazine (Repeaters Mastery level 6). You can do with quickly by building repeater parts or going on a few hunts with the repeaters. They should still shoot and do damage, just the special ability won't work.

This is what it should look like.

Yeah, checked after the update went live.

Could you show me a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Go through every slot and equip a different part (if possible). You have to barrels equipped, this is a very rare case but is easy to fix!

You need to change the second barrel a mod, then your repeaters should reappear. If you do not have a mod then you will have to go on ~2 hunts until you get enough experience to unlock a mod <3

Comment

For the repeaters, have you unlocked any mods and do you have a mod equipped?

u/Phx-Shae Any update on the people that reset their characters and are locked out of hunt pass challenges? Been locked out for a week now, sitting at level 6 on my pass with no hope of ever getting to level 50 at this rate.

If you log in now are the challenges still unavailable?
