Outriders Dev Tracker

But I wanted to ask, seeing as it is like just over a day till the launch, do we have anymore concrete information about the QoL improvements?

I've honestly given as much information as we currently have on these systems - they're not ready for launch. Item Locking and Quick Mark are looking to be in a good space but the Stash requires more experimentation.

The only alternative to the information I've provided is to not provide any information at all.

When each of these things will be implemented in game will honestly rely on our patch schedule. While we have already plans for follow up patches after launch to resolve any issues encountered during the launch week + optimization, we don't yet know to what extent we need to rush through those fixes via a small patch (if there any any severe issues) or if we can take a beat and create a bigger patch that has more things, including QOL, in it.

Observing the Worldslayer beta we saw that there were a couple such instances happening again. We've smoothed the rate at which players gain Apocalypse Tiers in order to make these fights more manageable once reached - Part of the problem we saw was that (new) players on boosted characters were gained Apocalypse at a rate faster than they and their gear could handle, so that they would invariably get stuck somewhere.

We have also tweaked the respective bosses/arenas as well in order to prevent them from being such brick walls.

Haptics are pretty cool! Unfortunately Worldslayer is not introducing support for them at this point in time, though I agree that that your request would be pretty awesome :)

Apologies, Looks like I got confused by the two threads. Here is the post /u/Belyal referenced.

Thank you! :)

Giving us ALL the info is exactly what prevent us from only looking at one thing.

I can very much understand where you're coming from and I know that you (Paul) are one of a few people to take your time to read through everything and consider the different combinations and ramifications across the landscape.

However, in my experience - and this has proven true many times over as I've written these dev blogs - Information overload only leads to one thing: A single line or item being picked out and talked about out of context by the wider audience.

If there are 10 pieces of news in a single blog, generally speaking, only one of them will be talked about extensively. The other 9 will be left to the side.

It's entirely normal behaviour for people to focus on one simple thing that is easy to understand rather than try and math-whiz how 300 different changes actually turn out when put together. And with balancing, there is a te...

Cleave is damage that is split from the main enemy and shared across a set number of enemies nearby.

It's similar but still different to "Area of Effect (AOE)", where damage is dealt to an unlimited amount of enemies within a certain radius.

Hypercleave means that it's extra good at cleaving :)

Check the QOL News Section.

I haven't currently planned to do that for two reasons:

• It's an enormous amount of information to compile and fact-check.
• Seeing that Mod X has changed in a certain way usually leads to strong reactions about that mod being changed in isolation. For example, when we first talked about the changes made to Fortress, many players found them unpalatable. But when they actually played with the new Fortress, they actually found the change pretty good.

Because the balancing in this case is so far reaching, a buff or nerf in one area is very likely compensated for in another, less obvious, area, but those links will usually not be made.

A good example of this would be a loss of output for some mods. That may be seen as a nerf in isolation, but when you set that next to the the buffs on other mods or item sets or even the weapons, it's much easier to see the overall picture and realise that its either a power shift or even a net buff for play...

I believe it should be available starting on the 28th - If not, then it will be there on the 30th.

My pleasure, thanks for taking the time to read it all!

Not sure if you're reading the same blog that I wrote...

Did you fix the mods that stop working on parties to get bullets after kills like BR builds for Tecno o VR for Pyros?

Have a look at the Triggers section - that covers these kind of situations.

Not for content that gets added to the base game. It needs to be released as a patch update.
