It's something I've already chatted to the team about since Thursday's announce and we'll see what we're able to do in the time ahead.

Nice.

Made improvements to multiplayer connectivity

Improved to what degree though, that's the key. The poor connection between my friend and I really made our playthrough much more painful and less fun than it should've been. If that problem alone is alleviated, I'll be super happy.

We've implemented some relay avoidance which should help players who are geographically closer - could you let me know how the situation has changed for you and your friend following this patch?

Can you look into the weird side strafing issue while running? If you normally side strafe right on PC with "D" button your character does a perfectly straight line to the right. But once you sprint while strafing, it becomes a curve. This means you have to manually compensate this curve all the time:

I've passed on your excellent illustration to see if the team can replicate this.

Good spot - looks like that one slipped by me in-between me jumping around Discord, Reddit, compiling and communicating back to the team and then writing up patch notes and reddit mega threads. :)

Should be fixed shortly!

@thearcan you’re doing a good job. I appreciate what info you can/do provide. Can I ask, is there plans to add mouse and keyboard controls to ps5? I just recently lost the use of one of my thumbs (temporarily), making console controllers rather difficult to use.

Thank you! Sorry to hear about your thumb :(

Adding mouse and keyboard controls for PS5 is not currently part of the work we're scoping for the time ahead unfortunately but I'll make a note of your request to ensure it can be taken in consideration if we have a chance to, as I know that a few other people have asked for the same.

so not on PC? :(

PC already had most of these new additions. All platforms should now be aligned.

Still need a mod balancing patch. Many are useless, others are broken and don't do what is advertised. Really just need better sources of defense in the game, because there's only about 3 defensive mods that are worth anything right now. The weapon mods are pretty diverse and interesting, but armor mods are not.

Many mods malfunctioning may be tied to packet loss during multiplayer sessions. Today's update improves MP connectivity so I'll be keen to keep an eye on how many of these issues occur less frequently for the majority of players in the coming days.

We’ve made some changes to the Legendary Drops.

  • Legendary Drop Rates, across the board, increased by 100%
  • Legendary Level Brackets have been removed, so that all Legendary items can drop at any level.
    • Previously, some items could only drop from enemies of certain levels or above. For example, the Ugake Cowl could only drop from enemies of level 48 or higher.
  • Legendary Anti-Duplication System implemented
    • This system will mean that if a character has an item in the...

I’m not the OP but I did record a couple minutes of gameplay demonstrating this issue. It actually happens twice in this one clip:

Here is another similar clip I made. The clip doesn't show the build (because I didn't make it as seamless as I did the other one) but it is the same exact skill tree and here is the equipped items:

 

Equipped:

  • Seismic Commander Helmet - Ultimate Impaler (T3) / Blood Shock (T1)

  • Seismic Commander Armor - Palisade (T3) / Earth's Legacy (T1)

  • Marshal's Waistcloth - Power Assimilation (T3) / Tainted Blood (T3)

  • Enochian Outrider's Bracers - Ground Crush (T1) / Bloody Boost (T2)

  • Seismic Commander Footgear - Second Quake (T3) / Extra Quake (T1)

 

Weapon:

  • Death Shield - Fortress (T3) / Moaning Winds (T3)

 

That's a 222,238 first hit that applies Bleed via Blood S...

Hey, Thanks for responding.

If you're feeling weak 99% of the time, then doing "normal" (or increased) damage would in fact be the anomaly. Could you perhaps clarify what you mean here?

Yes, one can look at it that way too "IF" you dont know the damage you should be doing or what is normal. This is why this issue has not been brought up by many "If any" because they just dont know any better because not many are as invested into the game as i am and or the game makes the math hard to figure out what damage you should do. When a player like myself "I guess you can say what most would call me is a try hard and or no life outriders player" and knows the game very well and have all Min/Max builds on my classes, it is very easy for me to see something is wrong when my moaning winds are only doing 500K-1M Buffed or un buffed.

This Might not even just be a Devastator bleed issue. The more i play and think about it Somet...

No problem!

I did that the week it was released(ticket #00092494) and they told me to keep an eye on twitter for updates but I can try again. Thanks for your response.

I checked in with them - according to our logs, you received a level 30 Bolt and Thunder on June 10th as well as 535 Titanium Resources.

The legendary is currently equipped in your side arm slot?

I'm on PS5. The bug showed up after the patch around May 1st. With this bug, you'll activate the Hunt the Prey Skill, but it gets stuck in activation. You don't actually teleport - you'll see the Skill icon is small and moving like it's trying to activate. Nothing happens, except that you can't shoot, melee, or use any other skill while another skill is "activating." So you can move around, but you can't defend yourself. Can't unequip it, because it shows "Skill is Activating" on the skill screen.

So it effectively wipes you. Happens most often when Crawlers are on the field, but I've had it happen with Behemoths and Brood Mothers, too. I've had it happen literally dozens of times when I was on the final stage of an Expedition.

I was "hipfiring" it when it would happen. A fellow Outrider on Xbox reminded me yesterday that I can aim Hunt the Prey. So I tried that against Crawlers all day yesterday. It worked. And at one point, it...

Thanks for the detailed information, thats very helpful!

If it happens again, it would be really helpful if you could save a PS5 recording of it and the previous 5 minutes of gameplay, and then share that here in this thread. That way the team will also be able to see exactly what it looks like and if there are any further steps they can do to reproduce it on their side.

Hey /u/scooperoni - just dropping by to say thank you for this great and detailed report and for the video including the timestamps. All your information has been passed on to the team, but I may be back in case there are further questions.

PS: Sorry that it's taken me so long to reply here, I've been playing catch up!
