  1. Sorry about the reupload, there was one bit of information about expeditions I had to correct.

  2. Game is completely broken, server issues for days, exploits that were rampant, disconnects and crashes galore, now inventory wipes. On top of all this the play testers must have been testing a different game because I just watched someone use a PC trainer to give himself one shot everything and he still couldn’t get gold on the eye of the storm expedition. There is no balance between solo and group at all. Enjoyed it for a week and reached CT14 but for me there is nothing left to play for at all and all the challenge and fun has been taken away when the game is beyond broken.

  3. Dissapointed. Surprised to say this but it seems Yong really does not understand games. Lot of important context missing, inaccuracies and overall extremely dissapointing take. Now Outriders have lot of problems (mainly server wise) but reduction from 50% to 35% on two skills from roughly 200 (!) is really not one of them and its just unbelivably funny it makes for a video in content creator landscape of 2021.

  4. Their "nerfs" didn't really do anything, a bit less damage but they're still the best. Take the techno, blighted rounds is the only skill worth a damn and infinite rounds is the only build worth a damn. The other skills are just fluff and other builds are pointless… build diversity and so many mod combos my ass. Yeah they're technically there, but they suck.

  5. For those who dont know who this dev team is I'll fill you In. This is the development team for The Division 2. The game that died about 3 months after it hits it 1 year birthday. They abandoned the game and even stated they did not want the player to feel powerful. This game is highly likely to be in the same boat. You will not feel powerful in this game. They wont listen to the community. They dont care and you're wrong. This is rediculous. This development team is terrible. Take short cuts and breaks more than they fix. Incompetence abound.

  6. Enemies in Outriders are already bullet-spongy on increased "difficulties".
    The impossible accuracy of ranged attacks and one-hit-kills of higher world tiers are already tough enough…
    The bullet sponge issue is making anything other than pure DPS builds frustrating and boring to play.

  7. This is how they're going to do this game guess I'll put it down and go back to destiny. At least I'm used to him doing this for no reason. Keep this up and you'll be in the same graveyard that's anthem and soon Marvel's avengers. Square enix must not want to have successful games. They couldn't because they keep making bonehead decisions. This is another square enix decision then people can fly needs to get away from them as fast as they can!

  8. Sadly I bought the game long ago actually my son wanted it I preordered……laziness I didn't drive to 30 like crazy before the update Im at 27 and 200 plus blue drops and 30 greens solo on world teir 8 with a goddamn epic drop……let alone never a legendary drop……WTF

  9. Trickster was not even close to being god level and they heavily nerf the fuck out of them.. People can fly? Stop smoking when you're working and you'll realize that we can't fly. And maybe then you'll fix your shit. and not make nerfs for no reason..

  10. Bought the game because a very old friend who is now in another country wanted to play it together.

    Fine.

    Got to the section where you fight the first creature and dc'ed just as you are able to.

    Every attempt to play after that I could not claim the camp at the holo flag with two versions of Tanner looking on. Man…I would like to at least play a game to see what it is like before deciding to refund it.

    Refunded.

  11. i get the feeling that square enix is a bit salty that this new IP is doing better then their avengers game so they're gonna now start making the experience worse to try and push people to the avangers game but it will fail that or square enix should stick to offline singleplayer games

    The game did have a early access, it was called a free demo. Check your facts. A demo which one can only figure countless players neglected to try before buying the game, yourself included I am guessing, based on the number of unoriginal, "ir going 2 demandz refundz!" threads. Being an unknown IP as you have pointed out as well as the poor performance of Marvel Avengers it serves logic that they would not have anticipated the number of players that were going to hit their servers in the first 24 hours. Things getting better in just the first few days and you can only give the most passing credit amongst your tirade of ill will.

    The patch notes did not "focus" on nerfs as your click bait coverage would insinuate. Out of five talking points only one was about changes to the game mechanics. (20%) But I guess you need those clicks eh? In addition the changes were only to one of three total trees within all the powers because it was overpowered and was allowing players to solo very quickly and farm end game content with ease. The logic of the developers is correct that brining the few OP builds down would make more play styles viable. Only the most unaware would see bringing some powers in line as a bad thing. And for your information, if they were to use additive balancing as you suggested that would have then required a complete rebalance of every single mob and encounter in the entire game taking into consideration that all builds were now more powerful and capable of steamrolling all of their content. Weeks and weeks of additional changes. This is the problem is journalists with zero development backgrounds making statements that are dangerous and potentially damaging to legitimate developers. You have zero idea what goes into development, balancing, and the work hours that would need to be dedicated. You are like so many players that just want, easy, everything, now. You want to have the developers leave obvious imbalances in the game because you think it is fun only to then in the very next statement bash them for not having enough content because you chose to use imbalanced builds to accelerate beyond what was intended.

    This was woefully poor journalism, and if you want to classify it as an opinion piece a very misinformed and misrepresented one at that. We are in a time where certain media outlets make their name from telling half-truths and spreading misinformation for the sole purpose of stirring up anger, hatred, and getting views. Congratulation, with this coverage, you can know stand proudly with them.

  13. I feel the video is a bit harsh. Other than a couple of days initially having connectivity problems (probably because this is WAY more popular than some of their 'other titles') I've really enjoyed Outriders so far. I dont think server issues are a problem anymore? And a delay or early access wasn't going to solve those challenges anyway. I mean it sounds like we're putting this on the same plate as Cyberpunk!? They've had some other issues like the gear wipe which I trust they'll fix. On the whole I think this is a really fun game, and if we're comparing this to something like say, the Diablo 3 launch, then a studio like People Can Fly has performed significantly better than a Blizzard. Looking forward to my next duos session.

  14. Not gonna go near this game untill it has at least 6 months in the wild, by then the servers will be stable and their stealth nerds will be out in the open for potential buyers to see….vorts n all

  15. F this game. I had 2 characters that was lv 30, had loads of gear for both. Played so much of this game with endless crashes and connection issues playing solo. Then few days ago load in ALL my gear is gone for both characters. I gave this game a chance but this is just stupid then we get NERFS already in a PVE game before they have even fixed these other issues. F them.
