It's outrageously strong though, offensively and defensively. Can pop it when you're about to go down and get time to pick somebody off, or jump into the middle of a group and use it to effortlessly lay waste. It's also fantastic anti-boss CC since it makes kiting and avoiding melee reprisals dead easy.
I dismantled my level 7 one because of the intense resource costs to take it 43 levels, but since then I've been saving the 20+ ones. Tthe upgrade costs, while heavy, don't feel as bad endgame when you're getting a decent chunk of shards for each purple.
They have said that the game is content complete day 1, and that if successful, any DLC they do would be substantial. It looks likely we'll get at least one significant DLC at this point.
Interested to see what you (and others) think of the knife. I'm level 18 or so, so just unlocked it and started using it. It seems like a utility/interrupt mod. I've just done some monster levels so it was useful to help me avoid being swamped.
I'd emphasise the world tier. Given its name, I assumed it was meant to just go up and up as I got more gear...but actually it's a difficulty modifier.
I think Crossplay is just a code system. You give them a code and they join up with you when they type it in.
Ah okay yea that's what we have been doing. Generating codes and joining. Kinda weird tho that they have an option to add friends during cross play just for it not to actually show them as friends. Maybe they will fix it later.
I got from Big Iron, the end of the Hunter questline, the end of Wanted questline, the end of Outriders' Legacy questline and Tiers 12/13 unlocks. I assume these are guaranteed Legendary drops, but could also be that they are benefitting from the World Tier drop modifier?
It's improved on most platforms, yes, but PC is currently experiencing unexpected stutters. It's pretty much universally agreed to turn off Motion Blur in the settings. Some also prefer the "motion smoothing" setting way up for cutscenes.
Yeah, I would like to know the answer to this as well. I've yet to make a connection through matchmaking. Demo or full game. Playing on Steam.
That's in reference to Legendaries that were farmed from the demo. There was a relatively benign exploit where people could farm chests in the demo boss over and over, very quickly, to hope RNG dropped a Legendary for them. It worked so well that PCF actually patched out getting Legendaries from the 2 chests before the boss so you had to fight him in order to get a chance at one from the final chest, IIRC.
Well I'm not sure what hooked you in the demo but I can confidently say what is here for story is quite awful.
Crosslay with pals using the invite code has worked for me through both the demo and early launch, but yeah, I think full matchmaking is struggling or full-on disabled as they figure out the servers and disconnects.
Probably less about Epic gear and more about making sure that the gear you are wearing is level appropriate (in line with the level of the enemies, not your base character level), and that all of your mods are synergizing. I'm a Pyromancer at level 30 w/ level 40 gear on World Tier 13 or 14, with no class tree or skills relating to Armor or Health boosts, and even there I'm not getting one shot by any enemies, including bosses or snipers. My gear is level 40 and so are the enemies. The base armor stats and secondary stats will be trailing behind if you're gear is 2+ levels behind the enemies on the higher world tiers.
Straight away, yes. You can't expect to switch it up before opening a random chest in an area though, it seems they prevent that linking it to the level at which you did the content (seeme dthat way when I tried in the early tiers anyway).
Definitely, I mean it's not an uncommon set-up in scifi with humans settling a distant world to find out it's not all roses and sunshine. Completely different writing and styling of course and I say this as someone who really liked both games.
