The first major patch for Outriders will be available next week, developer People Can Fly revealed in a blog post today. If you’ve been waiting for general connectivity solutions and inventory wipes, you’ll still have to wait. But, hey, at least the coolest class gets some serious crazy.
Yes, the Trickster, that cunning class that exercises temporal spatial magic and can teleport to the battlefields as if it were a walk in the park, is gaining strength. The basic cooling time for twisted rounds, the ammunition capacity that causes bullets to cause exponential damage, will jump from 16 to 25 seconds. Some abilities that can increase the power of Twisted Rounds will also have a hit: three knots on the Trickster hero tree – Disruptive Firepower, Scion of Power and Outrider Executioner – will have their power reduced from 50% to 35%.
People can fly, not only does it bother Trickster. The Technomancer will now deal 15% additional damage against poisoned enemies (this figure was previously 30%). At the same time, the node of the hero tree The Pyromancer’s Ash Process will be reduced by the same amount.
In the meantime, you will no longer be able to receive legendary weapons from repeated cashing in history missions, bounty hunting, and monster hunting.
“Although we understand the satisfaction that this type of power can bring, it currently far exceeds the wildest expectations and, therefore, we must reduce it to one level,” wrote the developer.
G / O Media may receive a commission
People can fly too say there are no plans in place to include a player mode vs. player in Outriders.
Today’s blog post addressed the insidious problem of inventory wipes, where some players only connect to find the lack of all their hard-earned equipment. The good news: a solution is really welcome and is likely to be a “one-off event”, so you don’t have to go through an individual session with a customer service representative. The bad news: People Can Fly says that it will probably only be able to restore epic and legendary weapons and that some weapons could return from the dead with different statistics – the TBA date to the date when this fix will be removed.
A notable absence in today’s notes: the problem of cross-play on the PC console. During the demonstration, the players on the platforms were able to associate, although it was not exactly uniform. You could enter sessions, but players were frequently given up, and sessions sometimes threw up completely. Square Enix said Kotaku when Outriders “It will have a 1.0 release version [the] crossplay system at launch. ”
After a launch weekend plagued by instability, People Can Fly has disabled cross-gaming between PC players and consoles. (Xbox and PlayStation players can still team up with minimal turmoil.) Tuesday, People Can Fly said in a tweet that a fix for the cross-game of the PC console would be included in the “general patches we are currently preparing and running by testing”. It is unclear when it will restart.
Representatives for Square Enix, the game’s publisher, did not respond to a request for comment from Kotaku in time for publication.
launching Outriders was undoubtedly rocky with a weekend with connectivity issues to the point where players could not connect to the game (despite being playable entirely by a single player). As an appeal, People Can Fly offers a legendary weapon and a piece of titanium, the high-level craft resource, to anyone who played the game between March 31 and April 11 (if you play outside of that time, but suffer an inventory delete, you are also eligible.) Those players will also be able to claim the “Frustration” emotion.
