MONDAY NEWS:
Testing for the patch to resolve "damage mitigation not working properly" is ongoing, but we have also identified and shared some steps to potentially avoid the issue from occurring.
Read the latest here:
@DoubleCarded Have a read of our reply here: https://www.reddit.com/r/outriders/comments/n6srbe/its_friday_guys/gxac6x1/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
@GeroldSlade Compiling builds and testing them generally takes a number of days since testing can involve playing through the entire game and replaying as much content as possible again to ensure everything remains stable.
No patch today unfortunately.
The final roll-out of this patch will be dependent on it being successfully tested/confirmed as fixed.
We will update you as soon as we have news.

FRIDAY NEWS:
We believe we have identified one of the core underlying reasons for lack of the damage mitigation in certain circumstances.
We are compiling and testing a new build with this fix included, but doing so will take a bit more time.

@smcfarlane456 Great to hear! Thanks for confirming!
@formerlyiab Only if they were Legendary rarity.
@ObxyScxrz Before April 20th.
Who will benefit from this Restoration? 🤔 Players who "lost" a legendary item up until 20 April 2021.
Lost = Items lost to a bug or sold to a vendor
Dismantled items will not be restored as our analytics are able to conclusively prove that they were not lost to the bug.

As a reminder, here is what you can expect to happen:
Group B Restoration:
- Up to 20 (now God Rolled) legendary items there were in your inventory.

@I3rightt It may take some hours for Group A restoration to fully propagate, so we'd recommend checking back every so often, or in several hours from now.
In the unlikely event that your character isn't restored by then, they may well get restored during our Group B restoration.
@Eathian_ Yes.
All fully completed Accolades will be restored if you previously reached the final tier of said Accolade.
Interim tiers and progress towards any tier of an Accolade cannot be recovered.
@BiggieBeard The restoration is an ongoing process over the next few hours. Please check back again throughout the day and please let us know when you see your character restored.
@Legolube Throughout the next 24 hours.
@RyanSnip3r416 Underway as in like now, thought it will take some time to propagate across affected characters. No client update require.
Once we are happy with Group A restorations, we will trigger restorations for Group B.
Group B players are those players who lost items but were able to continue playing.
For further details and group A/B explanations, please refer to this post:
Group A characters are characters who encountered a wipe & are no longer able to login at this point in time (Encounter a "Couldn't Connect to Server" error).
Please check your affected characters throughout the day, and log out & in again if you are in game at the time.
Character and Inventory Restoration for Group A characters is now underway!
We are aware of the issue whereby damage mitigation isn't acting as expected for some players, resulting in those players dieing very quickly or in some cases instantly when hit by an attack.
We have set up a gather thread for this issue here:
