Yep - This should be resolved in our next patch!
Hello. Why some times as a Trickster I do die when having plenty of shield activated ? Thank you
Hello. Why some times as a Trickster I do die when having plenty of shield activated ? Thank you
I've mentioned this in the known issues thread, but I'll paste what I wrote there:
Players dying while a shield is active
Issue currently being investigated. Rather than shields not properly mitigating damage, this issue may be caused by (either) the UI not catching up properly or it may be a case of certain shield mods continuing to proc their shield after death has...
Read moreYeah, if those are not working... Hard to test... I guess the easiest way is to save your last 5 minutes or something, to check how you died, and check the cooldowns
This is the reason why I've always asked for a full expedition run when people have reported being one-shot, not just the 20 seconds of them being killed.
We'd need to be able to see if and when both Death Prevention likely go into their cooldowns and whether they should have triggered during a reported one-shot kill but did not (this would be a bug), or if the player had been tanking a lot of damage during the full run and had already put their death prevention mechanics on cooldown (this would be intended design).
This will help me so much to play this game, thank you so much for that!
And looking at those ct 15 damage, I might need to change my build a bit. I knew I was already too weak against anomaly (only 10% from a tier II mod), but I might need to think about something else to help me.
Glad to hear you've found it useful! Good luck! :)
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. That immediately jumped out at me. Had a good laugh.
"Damage Reduction Mechanics" is a bit of a mouthful, so I opted for the shorter "Damage Control". Yep, the irony is intentional.
While I appreciate the information, it leads me back to my initial concern about end-game design: If we are intended to be more defensive and cautious with our builds, how does that work with the average player making gold timers in what is essentially a damage-output race? Especially in a timer as short as Boom Town, for example. If you want time pressure, you enforce a damage output based meta. If you want build variety, build experimentation, and defensive builds to be viable, tying any sense of progress and rewards to meeting short duration timers is not the way to go about it.
I touched on it in my last post, but we're aware of the problems and frustrations associated with timed modes and DPS metas. Resolving the root cause of this is going to take time though - during which we are continuing to patch and improve the game, as well as share insights such as this post.
Extra note:
I haven't included this info in the OP above in order to not distract from the topic at hand, but we'll be back this Thursday with more dev news around the next patch, information about our upcoming changes to the legendary drop system and also what we'll be doing for any players who received a duplicate Legendary from the appreciation package.
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new entry in our Outriders Developer Insights blog. These posts specifically focus on a specific aspect of Outriders and are intended to be a go-to resource for players with questions around the respective topic.
As mentioned a little while ago, we wanted to provide the community with a clearer view on some of the game’s mechanics that influence the damage taken by the player character.
This Developer Insights post includes a look at the core mechanics that interact with incoming damage, but it also goes into systems that are...

Just a note on this - armours from other classes dropping doesn't take up one of your own classes "drop slots".
Rather, they're a bonus drop. The alternative is not that you would have gotten an armour from your class, but rather than you would have gotten nothing at all.
Thanks for the reply. So has the issue with the script been identified? And are the legendaries you gave out in error on the first run going to be taken away? As a programmer, this seems fraught with potential issues.

Nothing will be taken away. While one issue with the script has been resolved, we're still spending today looking into further measures to ensure no duplicate items are granted.
What's the likelihood of hearing anything today? If nothing today, then when? Skills fixes, Scrap grenade, blighted rounds, etc etc, any eta on fixes for features that impact the gameplay?
We're tracking some of those kind of issues in this thread here, which will get refreshed every Thursday or when a patch releases.
How the f**k are you so quick to fix this but haven't managed to fix anything else we've complained about? Don't you need to explain the duplication safeguards to us first? Check the data to see who got what so you can understand why? It's beyond a slap in the face that this is an emergency priority while real fixes are pushed aside and explained away.

The team working on this are the online team. They are separate from the folks work on game-code.
Better idea - just fix the script that gives out the appreciation package and run it again. Seems a waste of time to try and segment out those that got dupes (how you gonna know?), and then miss a bunch of people, and give others a double package, etc, etc, making even more people upset. Most people seem to feel what they got was worthless anyways so what's the harm in leaving it as is and just giving out an appropriate weapon?
The segmentation would be based on people who logged in while the issue in the script is/was present, rather than needing to analyse based on obtained items.
Will we have to register with support to let them know we've received a duplicate weapon?

I'm hoping to avoid this - The team implemented some additional duplication safeguards yesterday and we're also going to see if we can segment and perhaps re-target players who already logged in before the safeguards were put in place in order to re-run the script for them.
Look I love and appreciate the balancing. I really do. And I'm a huge advocate for this game (755 hours going strong). But what good is balancing, when the game is unplayable half the time, and frustrating the other half when playing multiplayer. Unless of course you're playing solo, or hosting, then it runs perfect. Otherwise you get stuck in animations, can't revive teammates or yourself, enemies skipping all over the place. And ik there was an update to region matchmaking, but this is happening when I play with irl friends that live 10 min from me. I really hope this is addressed.
I've just today updated this on the issues tracking thread, but here with a bit more detail: Our upcoming patches will implement some changes to the connectivity relay system, which may well help particularly users who are geographically closer together. Rubberbanding and the issues you've raised are still on our radar and being looked into.
