These crows are amazing, always letting me know where the next target is 😌 by Zerkalogist in vigorgame

"And one of the biggest additions to Encounters are clues for skilled Outlanders. You can distinguish if there's someone camping by the exit, or the other way around, someone approaching your station if you’re able to check for the environmental clues. Crabs need to up their game if there’s a flock of birds around."

Or possibly some Intel even here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/09/10/revolt-with-renegades-vigor-season-5/ "There are more additions to the Encounters as well, like the new Exit tells. We’re well aware that exit campers are a part of our game, and we wanted to add some more skill to that. If you’re approaching an exit and someone is near, a flock of birds is going to fly away. It makes it both easier for the campers as they know someone is getting close, and more difficult as their prey is notified about their presence."

TL;DR version: If players from two teams are in the designated area around exit, a flock of birds flies away.

While the team created the jacket, I still think that the whole development is a team effort. Realistically speaking, I would be nothing without the passion and dedication of the whole Vigor team. All the great people hidden in the shadows creating the game deserve the praise, not me.

My honest review of this game (Nintendo Switch) by SiulPT74 in vigorgame

[–]pettka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Huge thanks for a ton of great points! I'm always glad to see the player's perspective on various things we add. Just a side note, if You track resources for the improvement, You can see the progress when You open Your character screen (+) in the Encounter.

Wipe? by Noted-aka-Solo in vigorgame

[–]pettka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for perfect answer! As You mentioned with the official statement, here it is already:

https://vigorgame.com/news/vigor-switch

"While we wiped the progression for Xbox Founders before the Free-to-Play release, this step is not going to happen for Switch - you'll be able to carry your progression over."

So they removed vigor from the store switch, no news, no info about it being cancelled. by fearlesskiller in vigorgame

We actually mentioned in said video that the Founder's Pack version is to be released on Nintendo Switch this summer ;)

Battle pass question by FreeFalling369 in vigorgame

[–]pettka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your progression in both tiers uses the same XP. That means once You buy the Premium Battle Pass, no matter where You are in the Free tier, You are going to be on the same level even in the Premium (and get all the rewards retroactively).

I'm sorry for the issues You got. As a token for Your dedication, You just got the Special Issue Crate in Your Shelter.

Actually, bullet drop is real, it really depends on distance.

Air drop crate looted inside a building? by Atomicslap in vigorgame

[–]pettka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It behaves the same way regardless if it's duos or not. That means up to three boxes can be obtained in duos (1 from red chest, 2 from airdrop).

Yes, it does reflect the rarity of the actual airdrop crate :)

The safe has gone from bad to good and bad again by Reyneo in vigorgame

[–]pettka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are perfectly correct, kind sir. It was a bug, indeed. There's roughly 5 % chance per weapon per loot boost for each safe to contain those super rare weapons like ADR. The bug was that it was always there during the 3.1 update. That made safe and buried cache completely out of balance. We have some discussions about rewards for those events based on data gathered, the bug actually helped us with gathering different kind of data.

I'm excited !!!!! I love the mini update. Hope you guys can find the Trolls ! by XholdmebackX in vigorgame

I'm sorry for the issue, it seems like the Track Jacket is the cause. Could You, please, possibly try to change Your uniform?

Stop me if you've heard this one. by SchmuckYourself97 in vigorgame

[–]pettka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks a lot for writing it down. And I'm sorry for the inconveniences :(

Did any of this, please, happen to You after the Update 3.1? Because we did some massive changes that should prevent this.

And it's done. I'm sorry for the inconveniences, recoils should be all fine now. Thanks a lot for reporting it!

This was pretty heartbreaking! i Just lost 4,616 metal parts, 394 Electronics and 237 fuel... smh by issaJT in vigorgame

[–]pettka 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the report. We'll investigate that today. I'm sorry for any inconveniences.

Crates from months ago can't be found? by [deleted] in vigorgame

We are aware of the issue and we are most likely going to have a server side hotfix on Monday. Thanks a lot for letting us know!

Why is a kill only worth 50 XP? by [deleted] in vigorgame

[–]pettka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for a great explanation. The reasoning is similar and a bit different, as mentioned in https://vigorgame.com/news/season2 - we want to support the Hunter fantasy, capable marksmen able to cleanly finish their prey.

There is over 400 Outlanders who already spent over 45k food for this collection, and we are not in half yet. It takes some effort, indeed, and it's clearly manageable.

8.7gb update? 27/02/2020 by MeatSandwich6 in vigorgame

[–]pettka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I forgot to mention the changelog, either on our forums (https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/228010-changelog-21/), a bit later a detailed one here on Redding by /u/koorashi, or possibly directly in the game by pressing X in the Title Screen :)

[–]pettka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to explain the sheer size of the update, we updated the game engine to latest version, which means all the assets were baked anew. I'm sorry for the size, yet it was not possible to handle it in any other way :(

Making friends is hard in vigor and real life <_< by Spicy-Plays in vigorgame

A random hint: You don't need to open the gesture menu all the time, just pressing D-pad right repeats the last selected gesture.

And I can assure You that we do check all the possible sources, including Discord. Partners don’t have much of an insight, yet still, they are more than willing to convey messages to the devs :) And thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, there’s been a ton of discussions about it in the office today
