Hi all! Same as last time! We're requiring you to follow the format below (you can copy paste it). Please, please, please follow this format, and check to see if what you are reporting has already been said:

**If  replicable, how**:

**Platform**:

 

By doing this, we can use the upvote system to measure severity/frequency and also provide the developers with more info than simply, "Hey, this thing is not working, can you fix? Thanks." While allowing less severe/frequent bugs some more visibility instead of flooding the thread with the same bug. If you wish to report a bug and see that it's alr...

After the large amounts of edits on my earlier write up, I decided to do a full write up with the changes included in the main post to keep formatting cleaner.

This post includes all changes to Armor Reset Eligible schematics, and ALL schematics when recycled which now also give Perk Materials due to a new Threshold that I will call the Perk Threshold.

The Perk Threshold is 2x Grey Perk, 2x Green Perk, and 1x Blue Perk.

• All Schematics give Re-Perk and Perk-Up when recycled now as long as they are above the Perk Threshold, any perks above will be converted to Re-Perk and Perk-Up during recycling.

​

Example: This untouched schematic without any armor perks has 2 blue perks, this is 1 perk more than the threshold mentioned before so you receive Perk-Up and Rare Re-Perk for 1 Blue perk which gets set back to a Green perk.

​

• Schematics wit...

Should they be? Iirc we currently do not have any means of acquiring them through any form of Transformation. Only via Llamas / Research.

I would very much like to be able to Transform with a chance at getting them.

Thanks for the statement, Magyst. Do you have any kind of eta on when the first set of fixes dedicated for Xbox (or console as a whole) will be released? The amount of rewards and time I have wasted trying to get them with my game to either crash, freeze or lag is downright ridiculous.

Thanks

Thanks a ton! Good to know I can do Transforms without worrying about missing out on Perk Ups.

Another question about Transforms:

Are we able to get Launchers from Ranged weapon Transforms?

I usually do several Transforms a day... easily 50+. And I have NEVER received a launcher of any type.

Ive been doing Epic Transforms due to having no need for Manuals / Research points hoping for an Epic Dam Buster...but not a one.

Just want confirmation if Launchers are or are not obtainable through the Permanent Rare/Epic Transformation Keys.

This 88 (4x) Bomb mission has awesome rewards, but it is unplayable. I'm hard-wired on XB1 and this game is a laggy mess.

Frozen in place for 30 seconds, getting attacked the whole time then, unfrozen just in time to die.

Teleporting mini-bosses destroying the base.

And your cheap, little, " go-to" to make the game sweatier: Exploding Deathbursts. Forget about building anything, when this is on ... it's getting destroyed.

Oh, but Deathbursts almost always have another "-Burst" modifier to double-down the nonsense (i.e. Frenzy or Healing).

Fine. This is all, well & good. Right? It's a challenge.

What's wrong? These freaking Burst Modifiers, lag the game to hell. Then double-down, on them ... Unplayable.

Come on. Please take some consideration with this mode. You guys were on a roll updating quality of life in this mode for a while. Now ... radio silent. The 'other mode', gets fixes .... th...

In update 7.20 we are enabling a brand new “Item Reset” feature. Schematics, Heroes, or other items will be tagged “eligible for reset” if they are impacted by a significant balance or design change. When you view one of these eligible items in your Armory, you will have the option to reset the item, which returns it to level 1 and sets all attached schematic perks back to the rarity level they started at. In return, you will receive all of the XP, evolution materials, RE-Perk, and Perk-UP that were spent to perform those upgrade operations.

 

Each flagged item can only be reset one time, and if you choose to upgrade the item (level it up, change the perks, etc) you will lose the ability to reset it. Items that have had their rarity increased with Flux will remain at their new rarity, and the Flux will not be returned. On newly acquired items we will track the starting rarity of each Perk and return them to those levels on a reset, but for existing items we are assu...

These are fantastic changes! As a reminder, when recycling an item currently we get 90% of the Level-up XP back and none of the XP for Evolution. /u/Epic_Jason , when you say we will get back 100% of the XP spent, does this include Evo XP too? That would be great.

While you're changing these systems, could you please take a look at the few known items with errors in their evo/recycle data ? Namely,

• Rare Ceiling Drop Trap: recycling give a base of 2500 Schematic XP, while all other rare traps give 750 XP.
• Mythic Survivors Joel and Karolina have wrong evolution requirements. See this forum post.
• Founder's Nocturno (Legendary) Evo costs are the same as for Epic schematics.

Additionally, we’re improving the resources returned when you recycle/retire a Schematic, Hero, or other item type. They will be consistent with the amount given by the new reset function, which means you will receive 100% of the XP back, as well as the RE-Perk and Perk-UP for any upgraded perks on the schematic. Evolution materials and designs/manuals were already being fully returned, so that functionality will not change.

Will this work with Transformations too?
