Hey u/thearcan thank you so much for this. Just a couple quick questions.

1.) Is the team planning any QoL to turn down the red flashing effect (or ideally turn off) or does the team not feel it is an issue? For me at least the blindness it causes is 90% of the reason I die and it gives me headaches. Hard to regen health when you can’t see anything to shoot.

2.) Is the team planning any modifications to set buffs? Right now with each class the set bonuses for all but one set are incredibly minor so no one uses them. Would be great for build diversity to make the set buffs more significant.

As always, thanks for your hard work and continued transparency!

Hello! Thanks for the questions!

For 1. - This isn't something I've come across before but I'd be keen to hear if other players have a similar experience with it? It's not on our radar, but I wouldn't want to disregard it if its a big problem for many players.

For 2 - we first want to see how these buffs will affect the meta and set usage, but we are teeing up a review of sets in future, just to see if there is anything obvious that needs to be done even after these buffs.

Some nice buffs, still feel like Eruption needs looking at.

Also, tier 2 mods that have been buffed (stand tall etc) will be much stronger than some tier 3 mods (anomoly echo) so maybe that needs looking at.

Set bonuses need sorting next, some are massively underpowered.

Some good changes though.

Set Bonuses are up for consideration next, but we'll want to first see to what extent these buffs already affect things as these changes could impact how much certain sets get used.

Those are some spicy buffs. Looking forward to them.

I apologize if you've addressed this recently, but are there any plans to be able to lock gear? It's very hard to manage multiple builds and the sheer number of drops without being able to lock gear.

Locking gear is on that rather long list of "things we know you guys really want and we want to do them to but we're not yet in a place to talk about what will be possible regarding those QOL improvements but we hopefully will be in that place in the not too distant future."

We're aware that players would like to skip the intro movie and it's something we'll look into if possible.

For the time being, switching to DX11 may help you get around the crash. It's not caused by the video itself, but by a background process.

We've identified a temporary issue with some of Outriders online components and are working on this - sorry for the inconvenience!

You can track this here: https://status.outriders.net/

Hello there! Sorry to hear you're running into this issue.

Here are some steps to help fix this for the time being, but I would really appreciate it if you could send me your DxDiag file for us to take a look at.

Edit: Just a note to say that today's Dev News is coming, it's just taking me a little while longer to compile it.

Unfortunately, it is necessary that you perform the troubleshooting steps as this is an essential part for us to be able to continue with our investigation in order to provide a satisfactory answer and be able to solve your missing resources issue.," It is the resource wipe from the game. This is the best you could do...i gave id and platform... then you should get to your side, not asking me to trouble shoot my computer.... and then the next one ? They are asking me my id and platform information which i provided in the beginning when i submitted the trouble ticket.... PLEASE READ !!!

I believe the team are rechecking all emails they've had regarding this matter, so they may get in touch again today. Please let me know if they don't.

Sorry to hear you feel this is a community behavior trend.

I'd be keen to hear if you (and other people) feel that this is truly an intentional disconnection (for whatever odd reasoning) or either a bad host connection issue (e.g. the host having a slow connection) or a multiplayer netcode issue (MP connectivity is something we are continually looking into and we've got an improvement in the pipeline that may help reduce rubberbanding and packet loss)

Speaking personally, I think if this were a wider behavior, I would expect people to have discussed this "idea" somewhere. E.g. There would be threads or posts where people explain their theory and get other bad apples to participate (just as you're discussing this behavior here).

I haven't come across any discussions where people would be organizing to do this, but if anyone has, please do let me know as it would be helpful to help us understand this problem.

I would suggest if you’re looking to play with people to use the outriders discord. I have found numerous parties there and the groups have been nothing short of exceptional. Even had a guy carry me in CT15s to help get me to gear level 50 last week. I’ll never use matchmaking again after seeing how awesome the people on discord are.

Great to hear you've had a good experience with it. For anyone else, here's the link discord.gg/Outriders

Since day 1 of demo. I main my devastator which was my first toon created. I also created one of each of the other classes during the demo as well but have since deleted and made new ones of each during the full game. All are avg50 and completed all story, sidequests, and expeditions but it's my Dev I still main. I play just about every day for a few hours. I have all accolades completed except for the ones requiring class armor/their associated mods.

In regards to the progression category, solo'ing EotS was the last thing I did (and on my demo created devastator) to finish that one out, but it didn't proc the total number count of completed accolades within the category, thus keeping me stuck at 99% with nothing left to do to reach 100%. Hope that helps 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for your continued assistance and work!

Thank you for the information - this might confirm our theory that this bug can only happen to characters/accounts that were created before our first patch.

We're continuing to look into it!

Sorry that you got this response, I'm going to get in touch with the team immediately to ensure this doesn't happen as you're right. It's not good enough.

I'll make sure they follow up on your ticket.

I can see that you are annoyed when a customer of the community you are a manager of tags you continously because the support team that you suggest is not only utterly incapable of doing their job (not only with Outriders but also with something like Avengers btw) but also takes endless amounts of time to address problems. And even then they only do it after having customers jump through ridiculous loops, probably hoping they give up at some point.

Out of 15 weeks since launch my character was stuck in wipe limbo for 7 weeks.

This is the third wiping bug PFC introduced (4th of you count the demo).

"I am so busy and have to prioritize" doesn't cut it. This is a - presumably - full price AAA game that I havent been able to play basically half of the time since release.

What is the intention of your post here?

I am supposed not to tag you when my character gets stuck in wiping limbo and support doesn't do anything?

May I remind you ...

The point I'm making is this:

  • Me not responding to a specific person =/= ignoring or not acknowledging an issue

Please do keep tagging me if you do run into issues, I will always try to help, but If I'm dealing with a lot of tags from multiple people at once, there are no guarantees that I'll be able to work through all of them.

Seems helpful for the team.

Thanks for the tag. I remember Shaderpipeline causing issues way back when, but it should be stable now. Nevertheless, I'll see what the team make of this.

I was finally able to login but I'm still stuck at 99% on my progression accolade. I tried checking a few times around 830am EST but could not login which made me really nervous. I couldn't make it past the authentication and eventually it said I couldn't connect to servers each time after about 1m15s. After several attempts/restarts I stepped out for about 20m, came back, and could login (login process took/takes about 15s after update on Xbox now, so thanks for that!). I've tried swapping characters as well as running an expedition but the accolade is still bugged 😞

Thanks for confirming and sorry to hear that happened. Would you be able to confirm when you first started playing Outriders and created your character(s)?

We are continuing to work on this issue on our side and hope to resolve it on a wider basis in a future patch.

And when will this new wiping bug be fixed or at least acknowledged in your development updates?

I can see you're annoyed that I haven't personally responded to you sooner.

I currently have over 419 chat notifications and 680 reply/username unread mentions on Reddit. I probably have 500 unreads on Discord and another 1500 on Steam. I try to stay on top of things, but the sheer volume of discussions coming through can make keeping up with individual cases almost impossible. Please do not take offence that I didn't take notice earlier.

That's why I always recommend going to the support team with these specific account related matters, as they are the only team who are able to access your account. I am not. The support team should have dealt with your case a bit better in the beginning, but with these situations, the fewer people encounter such problems, the less likely it is that we have encountered something previously and have a direct and specific solution to hand. As explained previously, we can't restore mods at this point in time, so I worked with the sup...

The amount of legendaries were granted so that you could re-obtain your lost mods by dismantling your legendaries for them. I don't believe we have the backend tools to restore specific mods yet, so this is what the team is able to do in the meantime.

Hey man- I did a little more ‘testing’ on this.. it appears the issue may be linked to hosting the party vs being a participant. In the handful of runs i played this morning as host, the issue didn’t occur at all - both with one and two people in my party. Once I join someone else’s party, the issue is 100% reliably reproduced. Next step for me will be trying to join through title screen quick launch vs joining through mm station to see if the issue can be further isolated. Hope this helps

Just to let you know that we were able to reproduce this on our end so we should be able to resolve this in a future patch :)
