why we were able to solo some of the hardest CT15 content with no defensive mods and only 1, or no, health roll.

Ah... yes... that should have at least posed a significant challenge. So that sounds like we're looking at the riddles solution here.

I don't remember seeing anything mentioning that enemy damage is now being applied correctly. Whoever's writing up patch notes is leaving out important parts lol.

I'm the one compiling patch notes and discussing fixes with the team and as far as I'm aware, there was no bug or fix noted in our databases that was specific to "human enemies" or "projectiles" being changed. I know this because we were never even aware of such a bug even existing..

However, for every easily understandable bug fix (e.g. "Fixed a bug related to reviving"), there are about an equal number of changes and fixes that are entirely engine or code related and which will not be realiz...

I think what is important to look at here is a some context. None of the below is a dismissal of issues you're trying to raise, but it will be helpful to understand our perspective.

Both Ryder and you mentioned that you have what you believe is a Damage Mitigation bug. However, the examples we've seen from you so far indicate damage consistent with what we'd expect. What we're not expecting to see are things like you not being hit by Melee Attacks.

Put otherwise: You're wondering why you're being damaged so hard by enemies like Riflemen. However, if there is an issue that we can see, its that you're not being damaged by enemies like Monsters.

You stood next to a Brood Mother for 15+ seconds and she didn't damage you at all. Isn't THAT the oddity in your clip?

Having run some internal tests today, we have indeed found cases where Brood Mothers are not doing damage. So that's a bug, but it is beneficial to players.

So, the question may...

Good thread, thanks for this.

I'm keeping an eye on this and am passing tangible details of bugs affecting multiple people (going by amount of upvotes and comments) on to the team.

Good videos, thanks for those. Have shared them with the team.

Edit:

At first glance it seems like melee attacks are not landing, rather than projectiles dealing increased damage?

The brood mother deals no knockback. The small perforo attacks have no flinch or blood spatter.

I've been monitoring mainly reddit for any bug or issue reports.

I have not seen any gather threads regarding any fresh damage mitigation issues. In fact, you mentioning it here is the first time I've heard of it.

Nonetheless, I have also asked the team to look into it and they have not yet found anything to corroborate your belief that there is a damage mitigation issue. They also reviewed the clip you shared. More on that below.

Similarly, our analytics do not indicate an increase in "Mean Deaths Per Hour Per Date" or a drop in "Median Lifetime by Date", both of which would have shifted if players had suddenly become squishier or started dying more often than before.

I generally try to acknowledge clear and obvious bugs and will also be more likely to do so when a large number of people confirm the same experience.

However, if I acknowledged every single time someone thought something was broken or had changed, I would end up needing to ...

Excellent analysis and write-up. I asked the team to look into this build on our side yesterday as well and they've been doing their own investigation (and have been followed all discussions here too).

Your independent thoughts here are a strong theory and we're looking into the game-code to determine the validity of them. It's entirely possible that you've hit the nail on the head, but its also possible that something else is f*cky.

An few important notes here is that you mention and that our own investigations have also indicated:

• The abnormally large numbers achieved can only last as long as you are able to keep the procs juggled. Leaving Combat or anything causing your "juggling" to stop momentarily will cause your numbers to come crashing back down again.
• It does take some amount of skill to maintain and build (and even understand) this buff - it's not as simple as the old Fortress was (slap it on, get huge amount of damage for nothing).
...

I'm not sure if that piece is "locked" behind" lower LEVEL or lower WORLD TIER.

Some pieces are locked behind a lower level, meaning that you would need to have an appropriate level character to be able to find it. The pieces affected by this are only the "un-evolved" versions of an armor set though.

I may be wrong on the details, but if I remember correctly from the design docs, a lot of armor goes through 3 or 4 iterations or evolutions as you level up in the game.

July 15 Patch

• Improved Matchmaking to reduce the chance of matching with an AFK player
  • Players that are AFK (not interacting with the game) for more than 2 minutes will be automatically removed from the matchmaking queue.
  • Interacting with NPCs or configuring skills, mods or builds is not considered AFK behaviour (though being inactive for 2 minutes+ while being in menus or dialogue options is).

Many of the players you consider AFK may actually be in their game menus respecing or comparing item...

Thanks for the report and comments everyone - I've asked the team to see if they can reproduce this. Can you confirm which platform you're on? /u/PaulOaktree mentioned PS5?

Can you also confirm whether you were able to find that same item again and it still didnt unlock the design?

We've just released a patch which should address this issue!

Certain skins are bracketed and "evolve" as you level up. The only way to get to get the lesser evolved transmog designs is using a low level character.

Please keep an eye out for a patch on Windows Store today - we're hoping to release one that would address specifically this issue.

If you encounter an account specific issues, such as getting stuck on an accolade (99%) or lose any mods or resources, our support teams are the only way to fix these issues. They have special tools to help fix accolades and restore items. You can contact them here: sqex.to/support

I no longer feel like im forced to run these 2 mods. Ive done many many runs without using fortress and moaning winds and i still feel powerful.

Success!

Hey there! Please reach out to our support team as this is a specific account related issue. For most of these kind of progression/accolade related issues our support team have the backend tools to manually trigger any "stuck" accolades.

You can reach the team at: sqex.to/support

Please remember to include your user ID (Steam username URL or digits, PSN ID or Xbox Gametag for example).

We've just fixed this via a backend tweak a moment ago. As we did not do a Maintenance for it (which would normally log everyone out), you will need to log out and back in again for the change to take effect on your profile.
