Ok, so it were the Earthborn boots that didn't give you Phantom Dash? Not a bug, just Earthborn gear?

I see this quite often, people complaining about not getting mods from disassembling items, but then it turns out it was the DLC Earthborn gear.

u/thearcan maybe something could be done to avoid these in the future? Either make the DLC items give us mods or put a clearly visible disclaimer somewhere that disassembling Earthborn gear does not give us anything.

So are you guys going to rework/buff any of the least used legendary armors?

Your design analysis of Moaning Winds ignores one very simple issue - that *all* on-reload weapon mods can be procced whether a weapon has completed reloading or not. The fix is rather simple - only allow on-reload mods to proc once until the weapon finishes reloading. What's wrong with Moaning Winds isn't the damage it does, but that players are able to prep multiple weapons with it and cycle through their weapons every 8 seconds for a triple MW burst. Fix the multiple-use-per-reload behavior, and that forces players to suffer the actual reload times for the weapons.

Frankly, I'm a little dismayed that such an obvious solution to the problem wasn't even considered in your "analysis".

it always make sense to fix glitches which gives player an advantage instead of fixing other broken things ;-)

Yeah, old glitch. I'm pretty sure it's been in the game since beta, I remember NickTew talking about it and how he reported it way back then. Guess it's something hard coded and they can't fix it? Who knows.

Basically if you put Perpetuum Mobile on a weapon and then change it to something else, it's effect still works until you die or leave session. It may still work if you only equip weapon with it and then replace it with a different one, I'm not sure about that one, never tested it that way.

I think most, if not all, ammo mods are glitched like that and I don't think they fixed all of them, or any of them.

I've never really used that glitch much, only tested it to see if it actually works, but it is something you can do to have a bit of a safety net for your runs. Just go to Zahedi before Expedition, put any ammo replenishing mods you like on your gear and then replace them with what you'd normally use. As long as you don't die or leave to lobby their eff...

Thank you very much, great answer.

So as I understand it the 5% extra damage reduction from having a shield is NOT additive with armour or resistance, but a separate modifier applied after reduction from armour/res.

Just curious Toby, did fortress every get used that way in play testing before release?

I mean sure once the games out and thousands of people play the game, the meta gets defined quickly but as soon as I saw the mod and the fact it's basically a stat stick I knew everyone would want to use it as it's a flat damage boost for no effort.

Someone posted an idea in another thread, make it so you need a higher armour value to get maximum return on it and so the middle trees (which probably need abit more damage to help anyways) for most classes would also benefit from it. Just give a smaller amount at say 50k armour and you need say 100k+ to get the full 43% bonus as an example. This also means that defensive mods could be used to then push armour values for the full bonus.

Obviously keep going with the buffs/mods and legendary sets and hopefully the balance will settle abit and more mods being used.

When you increase something by 100%, that means that the "end" value will be the double of the "original" value.

When you increase something by 200%, that means that the "end" value will be the triple of the "original" value.

You have to reduce all your percentages by 100% for them to be correct.

I hope that the people that wrote this post, have NOTHING to do with the people that make/adjust the codding. Even though, if it was the same people, it would actually explain A LOT.

As to the changes themselves, all good.

As to the discussion of the future changes, it also seems a very positive approach to some o...

Do I not understand math or do those percent increases not work out right?

Super helpful on the pillar talk. Feels good to hear you say the format of endgame has an effect on lack of disparity.

Do you always release patches on Thursdays?

This is actually a fairly good weekly post! Wasn't expecting discussions like these, but i want to share my two cents as a constant off-meta player. (Big big fan of boulderdash and eruption, more specifically, even in t15)

As said in this post, the problem isn't at all running a singular copy of the mod, and this means that the actual problem is directly tied with quick cycling. I really want to ask though that it doesn't get nerfed in the process however. Ravenous Locusts is an example of this system at its peak - utilising all your tools to maximize damage. Moaning Winds is only problematic due to the fact that especially with anomaly power setups, bullets don't do damage on their own. Adding %anomaly to firepower conversion doesn't fix this either. Even with the golem set, it just seems like most weapons are completely underpowered even with firepower. (This excludes bullet abilities)

Even with pre buff ultimate storm whip, it effectively multiplied my damage per...

It just me or are the %’s bloated compared to any other developer patch notes? For example, storm whip damage going from 23->32.2, any other developer would put “damage increased by 40%” not 140%. In most games a 100% buff means double damage. Mathematically if they said “damage multiplied by 140%” I would be okay but saying “increased” should mean double damage.
