Then there are the "judgers" as I call them who if they don't like what your wearing like say the hell rangers outfit or just an outfit they don't like they'll kick you. There are those who join you, making you host, and leave once you start a mission. When someone who's job it is to do something like this says it's insane what the actual fuk do casuals suppose to do?ĭon't get me wrong, you've find good people and hear all about it on social media whatever however, in game you'll find the worst type of people you can fathom. There are game reviewers and streamers who are paid to play games who can attest to this. Dedicate a whole day just to outriders and maybe you'll find a new piece of armor (that has the right rolls and mods which fit your build) otherwise you will use everything you've grinded for the day just to gain a few levels on one piece. The amount of resources you'll need to keep your gear at the right level is astronomical.īeforehand, it was a serious sloth pace but after the dlc it is without a doubt undisputable and unequivocally the most outrageous pacing ever. You can spend hours grinding expeditions for pods and now the new resource anomaly extract but end up only a few levels higher on 1 weapon or 1 armor piece. This sounds great as it gives so much for the player to do but the issue is how you get there. Now with the dlc the top tier is 40 with the max level being 75. The end game before the dlc consisted of collecting drop pods, upgrading your gear/weapons, and eventually reaching tier 15. The end will have you playing the same maps (expeditions & trials) more times than you'll ever imagine a game could even possibly allow. Saying this game is repeatative is an understatement. You'll still be having a blast but the cost of upgrades, rng madness, and time you will spend are all cranked up to ridiculous levels. The dlc though is seemingly impossible without help or like I said god builds. I completed every accolade and 100% the game before the dlc and can vouch for that. ![]() This will not be entirely the case without the dlc however with the dlc expect to be playing outriders only for what will seem like forever. If you don't play with friends or randoms who have near god builds, you will never max your character. Whether or not people will tell you the same or agree I can assure you what I'm about to list is a fact. I'm glad you are having fun! I love the game and was there day one on the demo but here comes some hard truths. ![]() ![]() None of the above is consistent with a design that intends for the game to be live service (and that’s not to rule out that there may have been a design iteration at some point that was live service, but many projects go through all kinds of iterations over their pre-release period so that’s neither here nor there). There was no roadmap (or season pass system) whatsoever, with the devs instead promising “more content soon!” in subsequent patch notes because their lead dev evidently wasn’t kidding when he said before launch that nothing further was planned and anything more would depend on player reception. They even gave away transmog, thereby cutting themselves off from the main way in which they would have been able to fund ongoing content updates. No RPG-like player hub of any kind for matchmaking and “socializing.” No periodically appearing vendors (even the rotating stock at Tiago’s was something that had to be patched in much later!) to spur repeat player logins. ![]() In game, all loot is available at all times instead of gated behind events, timed releases or seasons, etc. Almost nothing about the design-from the networking architecture to the in-game loot economy-was consistent with actual live service, IMO.įor example, four classes but only three playable at a time in MP? And built on top of networking so poor that it couldn’t possibly scale with the kind of player demand that would exist in an actual live service, never mind what it already had to contend with. It’s only superficially so because it’s a looter shooter and the market now automatically assumes every looter shooter is a live service. I don’t think it was a live service game at all.
