As someone who spends a lot of time on this sub (because it's interesting) and has played almost every loot based game I can think of (even more obscure ones such as the Van Helsing games and Grimdawn) Outriders loot issues can be easily broken up as follows:

• There is currently no pity system for drops in general (at least thats how it seems). This is why you're getting players ranging from "I get lots of drops" to "I never get any drops" because the system seems to be based ENTIRELY on RNG. Even in Diablo, a game which throws gear at you there is a pity system to ensure players are always getting something and their time is not being "wasted" so to speak.

• The shop needs to rotate stock. Frankly I'm shocked this didn't make it in the main game as it's frankly a standard in loot based games. Have a shop that offers a small random selection of rotating weekly gear. This gives players an opportunity (that is still based on RNG) to pick up the exact pi...

What I'm saying is this; it's very telling of developer priorities when they nerf the drop rate in the early stages of the demo, before the full game is even released, with zero hesitation. BUT when it's time to possibly BUFF the drop rate, there's months of nothing followed by a "well, BEFORE we can do that, we have to give you information blah blah blah blah pbbbbbbt." If you can make the game stingier without bullshit preamble, you can also make more generous without bullshit preamble. You should be asking yourself why they won't.

My guess? The same reason other live services don't; engagement and retention are more valuable than customer experience. But they're going to give us some rehashed variation of the idiotic "we want players to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment" argument that's been trotted out since the early days of MMO.

You are under no obligation to share your PTO/Work schedule with internet strangers. The reality is this game is broken, things may or may not get fixed. Does it suck? Sure, but don't lose sight of the fact that you the individual don't owe anyone here anything.

An update every Thursday, at least for the time being, sounds like a great idea.

More explanation about obscure game mechanics ? great !

However, at several points I kinda got the feeling you were saying "you're wrong about how you feel" about legendaries and timed expedition. I'm not quite sure how explaining to me why stuff is like it is will change my mind about how I feel about it in the game. I don't really care it's the most well designed time attack endgame in the entire galaxy if I don't like it.

That's why I'm staying overall neutral about where this game is going.

After reading comments: Just trying to share a funny/frustrating experience I had during an expedition. just joking that a one shot would've ended my characters pain and suffering in this situation. Some of y'all get triggered wayyyyy too easily.

I think PCF actually fixed the damage mitigation. Honestly. I can feel the diffrence.

But I think there is More to it then just damage mitigation that was messed up.

I think the issue left to be fixed now is:

1) The one shot mechanic

2) Enemies doing random high damage. Even trash NPC's. One second you can tank 3+ hits other times your cant. It seems to happen after your trigger the cooldown for the one shot prevention mechanic.

I posted a thread here talking about it and a couple of other things but for some reason any post i make doesnt go public even though it says its public and none of the mods respond to me about it. So i dont know if they shadow banned me or what. :(

After seeing what one of the jabroni Dev's said on Twitter last week. I'm a firm believer that they had no intentions of a future for this game and are dragging their heels on purpose. The dev basically blamed the gamers/community for the current issues. Saying that the game was never designed to be a long term game and that we forced them to add content which resulted in breaking the game. He also said that Outriders was not a looter shooter, (even though they advertised it as one) and the game was to be played for a few weeks, and moved on to something new. "Just like how games used to be" were his exact quotes. Yes, I ended up being a dick with my response "Just like games used to be? You mean how games used to work correctly on launch day?" It's clear the dev's are not being honest and in fact had no desire to pump resources into the game once it launched.

Since I've started running an Impale focused build on my Devastator I have noticed 2 big issues with the skill that really mess with my runs.

Frozen Enemies Are Immune

Trying to hit a frozen target with Impale will fail. If Its the only enemy in range it will fail to find a target, if there are multiple and only one is frozen it will hit everything except the frozen target. This makes group play with an Impale focused build like mine extremely difficult, especially when running with a Technomancer.

Bleed Fails to Apply, Sometimes

BY a very rough guesstimation it feels like around 30-40% of the time Impale will not apply the Bleed status. As my build is Impale focused and stacks a LOT of extra damage vs bleeding targets this can ruin expedition runs for me.

If you want any video proof I can pull some or create some pretty easily. lmk

/u/thearcan I'm still getting a bug in Heart of the Wild on my Technomancer where after clearing mobs in the room after the crystal (3rd area), no more mobs spawn and I'm unable to progress further. The objective is marked "Venture deep into the forest" and...well we can't.

Hi there ,

Patch is working but on my character defensive mods such as mitigation from death are not working . I do not get any armor after any kill which still makes this unplayable . Please advise urgently

How does 20 minutes of prior gameplay at all impact a single instance of an enemy attack?

You mention wanting a full picture, but in no way have you described what the additional context actually offers.

Set bonus on the Borealis set for Technomancer isn’t working. Not receiving 90% damage bonus.

Set bonus for Statue set for Devastator isn’t working. Damage granted isn’t working as described by the set bonus description.

Trickster Cyclone skill bugs out when knocked back as you activate the skill (on another players connection). You then proceed to get stuck when you walk. Only way to move is to dodge roll. Only way to fix is to quit to lobby and reload into the game.

Multiplayer connection is very inconsistent. Yellow and red bar connection. Skills incorrectly show uses left and when skills are usable (says no cooldown but still on cooldown). Please look into dedicated severs or try improve the net code.

Multiplayer high latency compensation and aim assist. I’ve noticed that when I join people in the US (from South Africa), even if the host connection is good (1 gig connection), the game seems to try assist by giving you aimbot aim assist where you...

Just for reference, I spec 20% Resistance in my tree and use damage absorber for a total of 30% all the time and have rarely been one shot, maybe from the brood mother pre patch a couple of times, but usually because I was trying tank them and loads of adds.

I always presumed it was armour that would help mitigate the damage bug as it was physical attacks, can you confirm if certain attacks are maybe dealing anomoly damage? That might be where abit of confusion from the players is coming from.

Also, played some expos last night and didn't get one shot, tried to make it happen a couple of times but didn't

Appreciate the responses as always Toby.

"Supremacy: Progression" stuk at 99% & "Sybilla Flores" Lore entrie doesn't unlock

• What platform are you on?
  • Steam
• What exactly happened?
• So I recently defeated Yagak solo on my devastator (I was waiting for the restoration to do this as my deva build was almost perfect and I knew I would have better chances with him) after I finished it, theoretically, my accolade section for "Progression" should complete as the one thing I was missing was completing all expeditions solo, unfortunately this didn't happen, the accolade "Supremacy: Progression" is stuck at 99% and nothing I do will fix that, all other accolades in this tab are complete. It occurred to me that this might also be related to other bug I found in the accolades/journals, basically, because of the Demo I think, there's one character lore entry that doesn't appear as unlocked, even though I did unlock it in the Demo, the entry is the one...
