Trankitas Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Level 1 is such trash it can't be improved. May I add that 6 mods in a tier 6 item is too overpowered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm not a fan of that mental subtraction as well. How about starting with tier 0 instead of tier 1? A gray tier 0 would have (surprise) 0 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazmyr Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It was mentioned earlier, but I would like to see if it is confirmed or not. In A18 will item quality also drive damage? Or will it only drive durability, like it does now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmole Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Its kinda driving me crazy that a lvl 1 item can't hold any mods and a lvl 6 item can hold 5. Can it be changed so a lvl 1 item holds 1 mod and a lvl 6 item holds 6 mods? I think that makes more sense to me.Faulty items now hold one mod, and legendary hold 6.

madmole Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Any rumblings of A17.3? Need that new RWG asap. We've been hoping to get it out, but RWG had some bugs crop up that needed to be fixed. Now the good news, or amazing news is that Robert was able to use the GPU to do some of the work generating terrain and reduced it from 30 minutes to 1 minute (for the terrain and biome info) on an 8k map. If it takes much longer you'll probably see a 17.3 drop without RWG changes with that delayed until 17.4+. We're experimenting with procedural splat maps so that might solve some A18 rwg issues we were going to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonoid74 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Any chance at lava demons ever setting wooden blocks on fire? Would make them pose an even larger threat on horde nights... Fire and fire spread would be awesome , but I doubt if its even in the books for this game , at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to play great, just because your good at perception doesn't give you max damage with every perk it governs now, only the ones you spec into.

Or will it only drive durability, like it does now? Quality does drive damage via mod slots and now with an additional mod slot coming they will all be even more damaging.

Odetta Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Faulty items now hold one mod, and legendary hold 6. Shot it the dark here: What if quality ranges, besides determining Mod slots and durability, determined stat ranges? Examples- Lvl 1 Random Roll Pistol Stats: Ranged Damage 22-32 Magazine Size 8-15 Rounds/Minute 120-180 Effective Range 12-18 Recoil 12-8 Weapon Handling -12% to -5% Max Durability 450 - 3,000 Then the higher the rating the more the minimum stat modifier increases so that a lvl 6 pistol looks like this Lvl 6 Random Roll Pistol Stats: Ranged Damage 28-32 Magazine Size 13-15 Rounds/Minute 168-180 Effective Range 16-18 Recoil 9-8 Weapon Handling -7% to -5% Max Durability 2,850 - 3,000 This would always have you hunting for that perfect gun and adds another layer to the loot game. This would probably wouldn't be feasible now, but maybe the next game? - - - Updated - - - Here are a few new books coming to Alpha 18 Loving the books, keep em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would keep me addicted to looking for that perfect weapon/combo. I mean, think Borderlands... if all I needed was a single sniper rifle, why have loot? Always looking for that one that is just a little better... was fun. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonoid74 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Random stat ranges with weapons , especially firearms would be nice...as it would give the illusion of many different types of "pistol" "shotgun" etc without getting specific and having many different name brands and models...it is what I used to do back in elementary-high school when making lower memory RPG games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Shot it the dark here: What if quality ranges, besides determining Mod slots and durability, determined stat ranges?

Blake_ Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 No that probably won't happen. Mods are enough damage inflation along with the perks adding damage now instead of the attribute. This is going to play great, just because your good at perception doesn't give you max damage with every perk it governs now, only the ones you spec into. I'm not sure about this. It`s an uncommon design choice. I've played 17.2 and I must say not having better damage each level of quality feels off. After many hours into a17 it still feels off. The weapon gets durability with quality, yeah, but that isn't nearly enough to get a good and easy to communicate "feeling" about the weapon of choice. I'm not digging mods for that explanation., and lots of people aren't. Mods are a plus, a good addition to the weapon/armor. But at the end of the day, Mods are not the essence of that weapon/armor. It feels off. To prevent this confusing "feeling" I suggest a placebo: Make less powerful the grey quality weapon/armor and gradualy up the damage/def value until its current (a17.2) one for the purple quality items. That way it feels and plays good. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if this means 32k maps will become a possibility? Or at least 16k? Totally stoked to playtest 17.3. Loving all the new teases.

Heruactic Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Faulty items now hold one mod, and legendary hold 6. Sir, you are saving lives here. Lives and brain cells. I know you guys are not planning any more big things to add but for would it be feasible to add an option to call a Supply drop on demand? Idea: A craftable item/bench that player can trigger an airdrop by consuming a lot of power and materials. Implementation: it can be a workbench like a forge that "smelts" materials like plastics electronics, mechanical components and once you have certain amount of each, lets you craft a trigger-able item to call a plane. This device instead of using burnable materials would be powered by a generator and consume a lot of power, draining generator fast. One can take the forge, enable electricity cost to power it, substitute materials smelted into high end ones, remove all old recipes and add 1 recipe for calling a plane drop. Lastly, change the graphic of the forge to something resembling an antenna? "Farming Supply Drops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a frightening moment wondering if other players will come to fight you for it. I'd never make something like the craftable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
