Please don’t take this as an attack just personal feed back.

Not at all :) I appreciate the response and can't disagree with what you're saying.

I hope they are planning on doing a rework to fortress and not just a simple % decrease.

% decrease would be the easy way to fix this. But it would be painful for everyone involved. We don't plan to go that way if we're able to avoid it it any way.

I would LOVE to see that meta broken, but please be careful in how you do this. I could see nerfing this setup destroying a huge core of the games player base.

We're being very careful with what we're doing here. We identified MW as an issue a long time ago and have always had the "easy" option of just doing a simple numbers nerf. But we're trying to avoid doing that.

That's why we're also spending time laying out the options in advance and letting you know the direction we're going in.

Apologies - normally you should be getting a maintenance warning a few hours in advance. Not sure why it didnt trigger that far in advance today.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to another Dev News Thursday.

General News:

Our upcoming patch is unfortunately still not ready for release – however, we have managed to bring forward and release a small number of buffs that were planned to be implemented later on as part of a wider rebalance. We have been able to make these changes today because they involve on backen...

There's another similar balancing related thread on reddit here where I've replied (...

Just a quick note before I need to head off on annual leave (so I won't be able to reply further today), but I wanted to let you know that I did read your thread and did pass it on to the team.

For the time being, we want to see what effects the changes to the Legendary Sets that we're looking at will have in shifting the meta and making different skills and classes more viable.

I think buffing EVERYTHING else is risky mainly because, as a few people have pointed out, that can easily lead to power creep. For players who have put in the amount of hours you have, everything is viable and and something like the Borealis Set may be too "easy", but at the same time, you've grown into that position. It's not necessarily the experience of every player out there.

Equally, buffing everything else to be on the same level as Borealis may well lead to everyone being able to (as you say you're currently doing), "one-click-deleting" every enemy... that likely won't be ver...

Archways is on our to-do list as well - Scorched lands was the bigger problem though, so we've focused on that first.

We implemented a serverside healing mechanism that would unlock accolades that were stuck some time ago as you may remember. That mechanism resolved a number of these kind of cases, but there are others where on the server side, everything is unlocked correctly, but in gameside it isn't being reflected that way. We're continuing to investigate the issue but it being the last thing you complete in the game, it's adds a lot of time to attempts to repeatedly trigger any possible issue here.

We're actively having our QA attempt to reproduce the issue on our side - it being basically the last you do in the game though makes these attempts not exactly something that we're able to hammer repeatedly over a short amount of time. It's still being investigated though and hasn't been forgotten about.

From what I've seen of the changes, the Brood Mothers AOE skill visibility will be made quite different with this change - I don't believe it's just a case of upping the hue a bit. So the upcoming change may well help your situation out.

Thanks for the reminder - Golem of Death having an abnormal interaction with the Statue set is on our radar, but I've passed on your thread to the team as well, in case they need extra angles of investigation.

General News:

There’s been a lot of discussion about Outriders this week and we’re sure that everyone has many thoughts and questions about their understanding of the situation and what it means for Outriders and its future. However, there is really only one thing to say:

Our plans for the future of Outriders remain unaffected. Nothing has changed.

We, together with People Can Fly, are ...

Thanks for the reply! The team and I have been reading everyone's thoughts here on an ongoing basis, so getting more input is always useful.

I think it's worth mentioning one of the biggest issues with Moaning Winds: It's that players are multi-stacking the mod across all weapons, emptying their magazines and then multi-triggering the damage effect by cycling through weapons very quickly after just running into a group of enemies. So the damage output of Moaning Winds can effectively be greatly increased through a rather unorthodox playstyle, especially in solo play where enemies gather in one spot.

This is actually not something we had envisioned at all when Moaning Winds was conceived. I do hope to talk more about how Moaning Winds was initially created and what options we might consider for it in future.

Clip Combustion doesn't lend itself to similar abuse so I don't think that is something we're necessarily worried about at this stage.

Slated for the next patch, pending fix confirmation:

- Changed the behaviour of the Devastator's Impale, so that the game will detect impaled enemies as dead even before they disappear.

Thanks for the extensive report and insight as always /u/vapoorer! Apologies for the late reply here, but I can assure you that I immediately fedback to the team as soon as I got early reports of this rubberbanding occurring on Thursday afternoon.

Our QA team was able to run some tests based on the circumstances as in seen in one of the previous report videos (and they will also be reviewing your videos).

We found that there is indeed some severe rubberbanding effect when it comes to being knocked back by AI enemies - I think your video shows this effect occurring as well (2nd video at 0:16ish). However, as also seen in your video, there are likely other things occurring that can trigger rubberbanding and D-sync issues, and we will need more time to investigate those.

Speaking as a not-ne...

Hey there, sorry to hear this is happening to you! Are you on Discord by any chance where I could chat with you about this?
