Outriders |OT| Hold Me Closer, Technomancer

I had to switch consoles and just spent 20-minutes trying to sign back in. But at least I am on.
Every class can be fun if you find a good combo of Mods on armor and weapons to make them work. The amount of variety in builds is where this game can shine.

This is what I'm using on my Pyromancer. Rolled Perpetuum Mobile on it, so that when I pop Volcanic rounds I have basically infinite use of bullets and damage spreading across enemies. Melts swarms of enemies and tanky enemies alike. Just worried about the constant level upgrades I wanna do to it...Since we can't play...Voodoo is a really good gun. Got it doing the outriders side plot the first time around.

World Tier has such a huge effect, when I first saw your level I was wondering why your stats are so low.

God the intro story is just cringe. "I'm Only used to bullets, not kids" okay tough guy. Also, why are they acting like mercenaries when literally they are the last remaining humans? Like is this plot relevant in significance to the human race literally on its last legs? Who cares about outriders.

Yeah, I started using it over Heat Wave, which seemed less relevant once I went Volcanic rounds + Damage link + Perpetuum Mobile. Still trying to find the ideal third skill to pair with Feed the Flames which I have for "oh shit I meed a heal/interrupt." Might see if Phaser Beam can take out pesky snipers/act as 2nd interrupt, or might go back to overload, since so many things end up on fire and lighting a sniper on fire from afar and cracking safely might be the way?
This game is seriously really good. I love how the main character does stuff but just comes off as not caring at all lol That mission
payback when you killed the Captain and he just casually tosses his head to her says "paid. Do you need a medic... or something..." He really couldn't have cared less about her condition haha

Level 3 mods yeah. Because of that, Legendaries are the only weapons that can have two Tier 3 mods on them. Also, they look ridiculous in a game that already ran with ridiculous.
I'd probably be looking for a mod that burns whoever was hit with a bullet on reload. Just to amplify it.
Im on tier 10 doing a 2nd story playthrough...so yea got a whiles to go to get that build more powerful. Haven't even unlocked a tier 3 mod yet.
My wife has started making fun of me :p
On the other hand I feel sorry for the devs that have their easter wrecked by some suits that decided to launch right before the vacation.
Must be very stressful to see the servers go down once every hour.
At least I got to play for 2.5 hours after work.
I can't make it over the 80% hump on tier 6 heading to tier 7. I always end up dying to some nonsense and then I'm back at like 50%. Starting to drive me crazy.

Game crashed on my PS5 and now it wont let me back in. I can hear my friends still playing through voice chat 😭
Yup, just got kicked out on Xbox.
I'm curious what builds pyromancers are using. I'm level 19 and have volcanic rounds with an additional round. Which goes well with LMGs that have 100 bullets. Not only does the power buff shooting while active, my powers also get buffed. At the moment I'm using the one that pulls enemies and leeches life (buffed to reach out to two enemies) as well as the explosion (buffed with increased range and damage on explosion).
I feel like these abilities let me keep my distance while still being able to do lots of damage. Curious to hear what builds are working for other people.

I know that it's reasonable to excuse a lot of early server issues, because there's a number of reasons that I feel that those excuses, don't really fly with this game.
1. There's nothing that I've seen here that convinces me that this game needs to be online only. Visually and mechanically it doesn't appear to be doing anything complex enough to imagine it couldn't be computed locally. The alternative arguement is that it prevents cheaters... but so what? Cheaters are prevelent in Borderlands, but that hardly matters to my experience because it's a co-operative, not a competitive game. There's no leaderboards or competition here. It's like the difference between Diablo 3 on console, and Diablo 3 on PC. Diablo 3 on console is the better game because it's ditches the online only requirements.
2. Many of the server issues result in a crash, and not just for one of the players, but all of the players in a party. It's one thing to say, have servers that are overwhelmed, or connection issues, but the game should be able to handle those instances without crashing. I've been playing this for two days and I have experienced perhaps more than 20 crashes already, and this is on console! Just because the client cannot connect to the server (as a result of whatever network issue), does not mean the game should crash.
If I was just stuck at the log in screen, their servers overwhelmed with players then that would be easy to understand, but the network issues combined with intermittent crashing, which seems to be tied to network issues, it just makes the game feel half baked.

I found a spot to practice melee and noticed that I can grind the World Tier there. I'm nearly at 7 now (level 16) and it's a pretty ideal spot - the melee beasts in the First City.
Literally since launch everytime I want to play the game there's a server issue, I just selected the class finally, 5 minutes later it got a disconnected. -.-
From what I've seen it can be played offline if they want to but nope they didn't allow that, I want to play it solo. -.-

Not sure what level you reached but pyro is great if you want to stay mid range and shoot fire balls. It's a really fun class once you start unlocking more abilities and mods.
I think every class becomes more fun once you start unlocking more options. I think that's something this game does well, every class is really unique and fun to play.
If you're struggling on your current world tier you will be shooting yourself in the foot to cheese the game in order to push beyond it. You should naturally hit the world tier that your capable of.
Of course, you can always drop the world tier and just take the tier reward... but there's little incentive to do that anyway, as they scale with your level. So realistically, you're probably better to claim them later, rather than sooner, anyway.
Totally, Nioh 2 can be played offline too and it's also co-op and PvE, if there's a PvP then I may understand but there's nothing here.
I've been using Gravity Leap on Devastator as a defensive move now. Things get to hectic I hurry and kill an add then leap. I wait for the skill to expire for the quick cooldown. Gets me out some hectic situations.
I got an armour mod for Devastator that lets me use Earthquake twice before it goes on cooldown. It's legitimately awesome.
Equip your gear with the following Gravity Leap mods to survive a bit longer:
1. The one that heals for 15% of damage done, or 30% if the target is killed.
2. The one that adds x amount of damage to Gravity Leap.
Boom! You now have an almost full heal every 14 seconds. You can equip Reflect Bullets or Stone Armor to help you wait out the CD.
I'm currently level 15 @ world tier 8, so it's very doable as a Devastator.
Managed to stay connected 2 hours and completed the sidequest ''Clear a path to the Old man's House'' ,man that was a lot of human ennemies,which are so much harder then the beasts...
What console are you on?
I'm on PS5 and the server crash only results in a disconnect to lobby for me.
Not saying you don't crash but it sounds very different from what I am experiencing here.
Does join a random team work for anyone? On Xbox series x. I really want to play with people but never finds a game or makes one. Nobody joins me even though privacy is open. Is this just server issues?
Think so, I'm trying to matchmake right now and just nothing so far today. Been hit/miss, I've joined about two other yesterday, though there was lots of waiting.
It very rarely works. Only one person has ever actually joined me and I haven't been able to join anyone.
