Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

Just a heads up, each time the game crashes, it saves a 320mb file to your main HD. Never deletes them. I looked in my Madness folder....13gig worth of crash dumps.

Edit: Crashed 2 more times since I posted this. I think that is 41 crashes since release, with 52hrs total played. Crazy.

I was wrong.

Half Life looks better than this steaming pile of dog shit.

Well at least it matches the cinematic screen shake.

The World Tier system is quite ingenious. It provides a vector for steadily increasing difficulty in way that scales with actual player efficacy rather than normalizing to some stat or forcing the player to select their own difficulty with no guidance.

My one character solo is cruising around W7 whereas the character I play co-op with my buddy is hanging out at W9/nearly 10. The end result is that we always feel challenged by whatever we are running against and it's a lot of fun.

At one point we thought the game was broken because our abilities weren't refreshing but nope, it was just a nasty debuff a minor boss was using on us. True joyful chaos, we are having a blast.

If I had known the 1st Morloch fight wouldnt drop any loot, I would have set my WT down much lower for that battle. I was almost WT9, but by the time I finally beat him, I was only 1/3rd through WT8 after all the XP loss ;/

This makes things go splat. Plus it fucks up mobs around the target. Fun.

Bone shrapnel is awesome for those hive fuckers that swarm you.

So I've done some Gold CT15 Expedition solos on my Trickster. Only have one or two useful T3 mods so far, but have a strong set of lvl 50 epics with Firepower+Cooldown+Close Range Dmg. Twisted Rounds + Borrowed Time + Hunt the Prey with a tactical AR. Borrowed Time with 100% duration and the armor + resist makes me super tanky (83% phys resist of a maximum 85%) for 56 seconds out of every minute.

Currently to do the more difficult CT15s Gold I am gated by 1 specific legendary mod, Instant Reload (Hunt the Prey), which would change the build to full damage, 1-shot with shotgun. There's an interesting power curve for Trickster in the endgame where once you get to a certain level of damage you can basically ignore survivability and play the game like Doom instead of Destiny. From what I see, Techno is roughly the same but they have better base health sustain and they get long range instead of close range bonuses, so they can just snipe down elites from a safe distance behind a freeze turret.

Anomaly Rounds gun builds are the first easy path up to CT10+ expeditions, but anomaly power builds are emerging now too. I think some abilities need way shorter cooldown for the sake of build diversity, especially on Trickster. Nobody is playing CT15 with the slash or cyclone abilities because you just die between cooldowns.

If Blighted Round doesn't have its sound effect changed with whatever patch is upcoming, I think I'll be done with that class and maybe game. It ruins the gameplay for me. Other than Mini Gun build, I don't think Techno has anything that is viable (I strongly dislike the slowness of MG build).

Tons of nerfs incoming. Farm up stuff while you still can.

Ya, Im reading over them now. Just about everything people have talked about here (volcanic rounds for example) is getting nerfed. Wont change much for me as Ive been pretty basic on my Devastator. I would probably pay more attention to specific stats but I feel like Titanium is too stingy to continuously upgrade things. Ive found a shotgun with great stats and Ive made both mods fit my playstyle and thats the only thing Ive been upgrading so far. Hell, even the shards seem stingy. Lvl 26, just now reaching the human-ish base in the desert thats been taken over.

When devs nerf the shit out of everything people just stop playing. Why can't they just make shit that sucks better

Ive noticed a lot of people in the teens of the world tier solo are using the abilities that theyre nerfing. Could just be them trying to extend the game's life and encourage multiplayer.

Why the fuck are they just nerfing? That is always a shit move. Making the game more frustrating doesn’t retain players. Bethesda pulled that shit with FO76 claiming they would use it to rebalance and buff things. That was over a year ago.

Sounds like mini gun will be worthless since they nerfed massacre. Without that buff running that gun is useless at scale.
