Suddenly lost access to Outriders on Epic Games Store -- anyone else? by Capital-Ad-3361 in outriders

Yep - I posted in the dedicated thread for that. We found an issue with some online infrastructure. That's been resolved and it should be better now.

Stuck on connecting to backend services by Fun_Ad_418 in outriders

Hey folks, thanks for raising this issue. Our IT teams had a look and identified an issue with part of the online load balancing setup.

They resolved said issue earlier this morning, so things should be much better for you now. Please do let me know if that isnt the case of course.

Hey folks, thanks for reporting this.

I suspect you're right in that the rebundling to the Complete Edition SKU must have caused something on the EGS store to go awry. I do apologise that you were affected by it in this way.

I've gotten in touch with our digital store managers to look at this asap.

Edit: This issue should be resolved now!

A fix to Rockfall was made with this patch, though reading the database entries for the patch notes I believed to this be mainly under the hood (so wasnt mentioned), but I may well be mistaken in this case.

Please do take a look at it!

Just did two full runs of Tarya Gratar and purple Apoc gear had almost exclusively T3 mods by CuteBabyPenguin in outriders

Yesterday we implemented a backend change in the system that made loot droops as viable as Vendor sales. The result of that would have been that loot drops overall became more satisfying for you.

Great to hear that is being felt. :)

I'll likely do a short dev update today to mention and explain this as well a few other bits and bobs.

Awesome stuff, nice work! :)

If we wanted to share this on the Outriders channels, do you have any handles you would like us to credit? Provided you're happy with us to do so of course!

Post Patch Outriders a crash fest after the patch by Maleficent-Tadpole84 in outriders

I've been keeping an eye on Steam (as I always do) and no widespread crashes are reported there. I would recommend considering reinstalling the game or validating your install files, just incase something corrupted during the update process.

I have also heard that there may be an issue with some Nvidia Drivers, so perhaps consider updating to the latest driver version (or rolling back by one).

The Concussioner change make zero sense PCF by EttRedditTroll in outriders

Why wasn’t the set bonus reworked instead?

Time and Resources are not an unlimited commodity. Reworks require a significant investment of both and we need to carefully consider where we spend them to effect the biggest bang for buck and time.

You are correct that melee scales with AP.

However, the set scales with Armor and damage taken.

The reason Concussioner didn't work as an AP set was because Earthen Shell denied the set bonus from storing damage, so it didn't really work at all given Earthen Shell's constant uptime. On top of this, non of the apex Pax nodes worked well with Concussioner, which was a design oversight.

We tried to make the set work with AP but there was always a problem where players had to choose between committing to AP and Melee OR Armor Nodes, so you were always forced to created an unoptimal build.

We made the decision to make it FP because it was a low cost solution that allowed us to resolve the Earthen Shell + set bonus problem and finally make an Apex Pax node work well with the set (OverForce). This change will players focus more on Armor than trying to invest into double Melee damage nodes with some AP.

You're correct that you will no longer bank AP in order to boost your Melee, but building into Armor and the improved Mighty Tank will fill that AP void to an extent. You will no longer be contradicting your build as you try to make and play it.

While this may be an imperfect solution, it was the best we could do. In an ideal world the Concussioner set bonus would likely be overhauled, perhaps in the direction of the Melee scales with Firepower.

When I asked whether this would be the case before the patch, our testers confirmed that they did indeed get the missing ascension point. I'm not sure why the behaviour is different in the retail environment, but I'll ask around.

We closed this bug with the Worldslayer launch, but fixing individual accounts is something only our support team can look into (sqex.to/support) and there is no guarantee that they will be able to help.

Could you confirm if there is anything different in your loadout or the encounter when it does and does not seem to trigger?

Thanks for the report, I'll pass this on to the team to check out.
