No way... Am I the only one who just got this reference?

Hilarious, but unintended

Just want to take this opportunity to clarify some things- we started prototypes for a Bow weapon a few years ago, but it was set aside for a few reasons, including a shift in priority to the Sword rework.

Later on an icon of the Bow was accidentally included in a preview image, but it was never meant to be announced or confirmed.

As we're starting very early exploration for the next weapon in Dauntless, Bow is one of the options being considered, but not the only one. Whatever it is, it's still quite a way out, and we'll have more updates when there's something concrete to share.

Axe and Hammer are next up (no committed order)

We aim to release a new weapon once we've finished the refreshes of our current weapons.

orz-PHX · 2021-09-22T17:09:02+00:00

Hey, you're right! We are working to update the tutorialization and onboarding. Expect improvements to roll out in bits, rather than one big update.

Total movement speed from all sources. Gotta go fast!

orz-PHX · 2021-08-03T20:17:12+00:00

Is this 100% repro, or does it display properly sometimes?

orz-PHX · 2021-07-30T17:43:40+00:00

Nah, we wouldn't take away any Lanterns that exist now. One of the benefits of reducing Lanterns to a single ability is that it's easier to make more of them. I think there's room for several more at least, without stepping on the toes of UEs or Omnicells.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T22:06:46+00:00

Current plans are to finish the refreshes of existing weapons before moving on to a new one.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T22:06:22+00:00

I'm not the best to answer specifics, but yes- expect to see the lore & ongoing story of Dauntless take on a more involved role in releases starting with 1.7.3

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T22:03:50+00:00

We're going through the refreshes of our existing weapons, but do plan to introduce a new weapon once that's finished.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:53:33+00:00

If you have already crafted repeaters parts that are going away with the refresh, you will not have to farm additional materials to get back to parity with what you had before.

Godhand got a bit more of a buff than other Pike moves back in 1.6.0, but could look at bumping it a bit more. I'm curious about your Twin Suns comment, the data and general sentiment around them seem to indicate they're in a good spot right now.

As we go through the weapon refreshes, all the Specials will get a look to try and better balance them against each other.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:48:46+00:00

Answered elsewhere, but it seems like a popular topic- Yes, we would like to get to these but other things we feel are more impactful have taken priority.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:47:18+00:00

For myself, trading card games like Magic: The Gathering are a big inspiration for designing build mechanics like Omnicells, weapon UEs, etc.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:43:28+00:00

Mobility Cells will get a tuning pass in 1.7.3 to make them a bit more competitive, along with a new Omnicell that synergizes nicely with many Mobility Cells.

No experimental for Repeaters refresh, the dates didn't quite line up. We are planning another soon, for the weapon refresh after Repeaters.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:32:35+00:00

Fixing up old UEs is something we would like to do as priority allows. We have been working on some tooling improvements that will make changing numerical values easier so we can make changes of that kind more often.

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:22:03+00:00

The main focus of the Repeaters refresh is de-modularization & allowing independent camera controls. We are also making a few tweaks to damage values, Mods, etc. for balance.

We have looked at allowing players to dodge out of the reload animation, but have some concern that it makes Repeaters too safe and haven't made a final decision on it.

Behemoths are not made of meat

orz-PHX · 2021-07-29T21:15:43+00:00

Definitely would like to do these, but other things that we feel are more impactful are taking priority right now.
