Outriders (PS5, PS4, PC XBOX One, Xbox Series X)

Grumpypants · 10-04-2021 4:12pm

Tried cross play last night to find out there is no voice chat ! Ended up with my PS5 on in a party and playing outriders on the series X just to be able to talk. Had a third random guy join with no way to communicate.

How do you build a online only co-op game where you can't communicate with each other.

Aside from constant crashes and disconnects it has a game breaking bug that completely wipes your gear and inventory.
Three days ago all of my gear got completely wiped(T15) while i was joining my friends game,so I leveled up a new character and didn't play any co-op since that seemed to cause the problem.
Until the yesterdays patch, which instead of fixing the problem, wiped clean my second character.
The problem with this game is that everything is being saved on the servers and the servers are ****.

Inventory being wiped is a joke and is refund territory in my opinion regardless of how long you have played.
This was going on back in the demo too but they said they fixed it.
I havent had an issue but i hear its mainly multiplayer where the issues arise.
Latest from the devs is they will restore but could take a week or more, sadly this could make or break the game.

Ran into the black screen with the spinning wheel bug today. Would just sit on it forever.

If any one else comes across it if you avoid pressing continue but rather select pick story point. Then just pick the one you are on. Then hit continue it will load in.

From reading online it seems to happen after playing a cross play game with a friend. Which is what happened to me.

Up to Ct11 now.

Rolling the dice by using matchmaking for expeditions.

Had one game where my gear didnt load in properly, was a bit worried

I gave up risking waking up naked after a fun night with strangers a while back

.

I finished out my Technomancer character yesterday and just ran her to CT10 , now I think I need a bit of a break. I'll probably give it a go again when they have MP sorted, or at least I've had time for a breather.

dreamers75 · 15-04-2021 5:33pm

Patch out for inventory issue.

Dcully · 15-04-2021 8:52pm

Still no fix for the 60fps bug, im done with the game endgame is monotonous, its heading down the Anthem route tbh.

15-04-2021 9:20pm

Going start this later finally, I didn't get around to the demo so what would people reckon best to go for starting out given I'd always lean towards characters like Salvador or Moze in Borderlands for example?

Smash Smash, your gun is an ornament and only used to reduce smash smash cooldown.

Yeah its really shallow to be honest, running the same expeditions over and over gets boring fast.
Also legendaries only dropping with set attributes and mods is a really silly move for a looter game.
The enemies get very samey too, sick of killing alien dog yokes at this stage lol.

I got a lot of gameplay hours from it though so i cant complain, if they release some DLC expanding the endgame ill jump in again.

The lack of grenades or a regen grenade ability baffles me.

Only started it tonight, and it was the first thing I thought as I was rolling away from one, why don't I have nades!!!!!!

So far I'm liking it. It has stuff early in the game that Borderlands 3 only introduced with DLC / endgame last week and not nearly as good or as extensive. You can level up a good weapon or piece of gear and keep it viable as you go as long as you have the materials. You can respec on the fly for free. I can see it having the same problems end game as others of it's kind as in whats the point of grinding for gear to replay the same content over and over.

ZiabR · 20-04-2021 8:22am

Have to say I am really enjoying this game. I havent had any real issues on the Series X. Story is great, combat is fun, and it is challenging.
My one grip is the Map. It is brutal. They need a N,E,S,W and also when you open the map you should be able to tell what direction your character is facing. Its a mess.

Doesnt get any better, obviously almost every area has a Side Mission, a hunt, a bounty and a historian mission. I would do them all before you leave an area. Just to get them out of the way.

Each of those gives a legendary when you complete all them BUT if you cheesing it complete 1-9 on Tier 1 and then the last one on highest tier to make sure you get a relevant level legendary.

I've played through the campaign now a few times with different classes and those first few maps, the ones covered by the demo, are without doubt the worst in the game for layout, gameplay and performance. Also they are the only time it actually plays like a cover shooter as you level up enough to have a full roster of abilities and break into the game proper.
TL:DR the demo covers the weakest part of the game.

As for grenades - the Technomancer Scrapnel skill while technically a mine can be used as one but your other abilities will fill the role easily enough (who needs a grenade when you can pop a lava fountain out under the enemy), also there are a number of weapon skills that can effectively turn NPCs into mobile explosives (give Bone Shrapnel a go

).

Yeah I normally do that will all RPG games. I enter an area and I complete all the side missions before progressing the main story. I am about half way through the main story I reckon and I am already Tier 13 level 29. Some of the boss fights require me to drop the Tier to 12 but for the most part its plain sailing.

Just saying this more for newer players but we (me included) historically have had a tendency to judge performance in the game by whether we had to lower the WT at any point, most (again including me

) have had to on occasion where a certain boss is just destroying your current build without fail.
But what gets missed is WT is self adjusting, as you die it lowers your current WT experience. So you can have one player who can honestly say they never lowered their WT during play, but their tier progression was overall slower due to more general deaths, and another who did lower it in extreme situations but was in a higher WT at that point due to less general deaths.
My point is lowering WT is not a stigma, even if folks care about challenge level you aren't comparing apples-to-apples with another player unless you know they had the same WT as you at that point of play.

20-04-2021 4:37pm

I've been playing on current tier for me which is 6, much better drops but have been lowering it to avoid frustration. Hadn't a hope against the volcano boss at t6 and level 11 even with highest level gear available so dropped it to 3 and then 1 :pac:

Lone Stone · 22-04-2021 7:14pm

i finished the campaign the other night i thought it was fairly cool story wise, for what it was. Enjoyed it did all the side quests was about 58 hours played by then. Anyway i didnt get all the hate about this game till i tried grouping the other night and well its just borked laggy glitchy what a mess. Had and have zero issues solo tho. but no way for me to get a gold rank in the end game mode solo.

_CreeD_ · 23-04-2021 12:38am

The end game is doable solo but the higher you go the more care you have to pay to keeping your gear at the current level and it also gets more and more frustrating rather than fun imho. I went into it on each of my chars around CT8 (I think that's just what WT15 puts you into). On each it started to become a challenge around 11 and by 12 it was making sure I was at that max gear level before moving up. I'm now at CT14 and since 12 consistently breeze the main expedition and then either get directly one-shotted or effectively so (where from full health and on a murder spree I get knocked to near zero in a split second, and immediately clubbed in the back of the head by something else) at the boss stage. Add to that not only does playing co-op give the usual advantage of being revivable by team mates but you have a self-revive in it...to include that in a co-op session and not solo, forcing you right back to the start because of a cheap full-health to dead in less than a second common occurrance is ridiculous. I play a few hours every few nights and then each time end without having actually had much fun, the frustration in how I fail one is just overriding the times I win. I love a challenge but it has to be enjoyable.

Dcully · 23-04-2021 9:23am

Endgame CT15 is actually too easy when you have a good build and gear, make sure you have plenty of damage mods but also atleast 1 defensive mod preferably 2.
Also make sure your gear attributes are in line with your build, ie weapon damage build should have gear with maxed out firepower along with long range/short damage or cooldown reduction in place of long range if using a shotgun or whatever.
Spend resources to level up each attribute on each gear piece and you will turn into an invincible machine, i never die running CT15 on either my techno or pyro who are both well geared up.
Watch out for god rolled green and blue pieces of gear they could be perfect for your build and once levelled up via crafting will be god rolls.

Worth mentioning the game is well tuned as your progressing towards CT15 with a good balance of difficulty then as i said above once you really get on top of your gear and build its a cake walk atleast on PC which brings me to my next point.
For difficulty comparison i plugged in my controller for some CT15 runs and it was so much harder on controller than mouse
& Keyboard.
You really need to hit consistent head shots for crit shots which then activates some of your damage mods, this is where there is a a large discrepancy between console and PC.

_CreeD_ · 23-04-2021 12:16pm

Well like any of these endgame is about min-max, but for folks trying to get to the point where that is a viable choice it can be a slog. Usually i enjoy this part of these games, I don't follow build guides other than checking them every few weeks or after absences to see what's changed. I like putting solutions together and have put in plenty of time on other similar games doing so I just find the activities I'm doing to gain the loot to build and build-for here get less ejoyable as they increase in CT. Not that it's too hard, but literally 3/4 deaths I just feel were really cheap, the other 1/4 it's fair deal and I can improve on the next run but for the last few where I moved up a tier the only real difference was luck imho and that is not a good mechanic. Easy Easy Easy...dead in a second....and now back for another 10 minutes of Easy Easy Easy before the actual challenge begins, and I hate pointless repetition in games. If I was playing co-op it would be easier to get to CT15 gear level and more importantly not have that frustration of a one-hit destroying all progress, but then I'd be relying on other folks and an extra-life self-revive that isn't present in solo. It needs the same self-revive you have in co-op, even with a time penalty if used, otherwise it's just disrespecting solo player's time.

Joshua J · 25-04-2021 12:34pm

Really enjoying co-oping the game with a friend but 70 bucks for a game thats loads up less than half the time is insane. Should have been fixed by now.

On lighter news I god rolled a 374FP Hellraser AR so I'm all set for late game.

25-04-2021 7:15pm

I've had none of those problems, even matchmaking with crossplay enabled has been grand. Playing on Series X.

I did get a bit worried when I join a game missing my gear last night but it eventually loaded after 10 seconds or so and that was the only time I've seen that happen.

I'm loving the loot system, upgrades are reasonably cheap compared to to other games and the game seems to want you to be constantly breaking stuff down for better mods etc. The cool thing is once you get the mod thats it. You can use it on anything you like pretty much from then on. Some gear gives you a not so subtle hint of what might be cool like a single round rifle that has a mod that instantly reloads if you get a kill with less than 35% ammo in the mag, wich is absolutely great for taking out the trash that comes running at you.

No cost to respec is another thing I love and you can do that any time you like no need to go back to a hub or something.

27-04-2021 9:06pm

Am I missing a trick with the

Shaman Warlord

late game???

Even on lower WT he's an absolute tank or does he just have a crazy amount of health compared to everything else

I tried shooting the orbs but that doesn't seem to have any effect on him.

He is a major pain, it doesn't help that his lightning attack goes through walls/cover aswell. What I've found works is to focus on the adds , dodging him as much as possible. When the floor is free of other distractions then kite and whittle him down. The invuln stages will make it a bit of a slog but with patience you can learn to dodge his main attacks easily enough and take him down.

27-04-2021 11:55pm

Yeah I ran out of patience and dropped it to WT1 from 12 just to get it over with, the final boss got the same treatment.

Now on to expeditions. Put me at CT4 ffs which gives level 35 loot I was getting level 39 on WT 12 in the main game. Played a few games and it's not really for me. It's basically horde mode in motion.

_CreeD_ · 28-04-2021 12:18am

I'm close to finishing out the campaign again on my Devastator and have had a fair bit of trouble adjusting after having bullet-skills to rely on with the others, it's gotten better now towards the end of the skill tree with that 70% dmg boost up top but earlier it was painful. What I've found very effective against bosses is a weapon with Shadow Comet (comes on one of the legendaries so not so easy to get but I had it from another character). It has decent enough AOE damage but what it doesn't mention in the description is it is an Interrupt talent, it will stagger almost all captains and non-major bosses interrupting their casting most of the time aswell. I paired it with Death Chains on a normal LMG for some decent DoT aswell. Less burst damage than the typical Tactical-AR with Killing-Spree and Bone-Splinter but it's not reliant on existing kills 'charging' it up, can 2-shot snipers from across the map and then just semi-stun-lock and wear down captains. So for add hordes I do the AR, for bosses and more tactical maps it's that LMG combo. It has made the game with this class an awful lot easier.

Fired this up on game pass last night for about 90mins . I think it's great really sucked me in so far!? Game world sounds unreal on head phones, looks fantastic ,score is catchy , game world is cool , it's just goofy fun , the gun play feels so good & the story is interesting enough .

Pretty hefty patch out today (no gear wipe restoration, they've left that too long now imho regardless)

Just on this, their reddit post goes into it a bit at the start.

As you will know, we’ve been spending a lot of time on our Character and Inventory restorations process. It has been hard to provide an exact date on its go live date so far, mainly because it has hovered on the very threshold of releasing for some time, but a small number of edge cases have forced us to reiterate and retest the process several times over. The greatest difficulty we’re facing in particular relates to giving characters the correct item levels, as item levels are calculated using three different variables: Character level, highest unlocked World Tier and highest completed Challenge Tier. The complexity of these three variables together on individual affected characters is taking some time for us to get right. Our tests indicate that restoring higher level gear than they should have leads to further character corruption, so we are not able to issue a blanket one size fits all solution here.

The thing is there are essentially 2 types of players after they had their inventory wiped - Those that said screw it and they wouldn't play again until it was fixed and those who kept going. The former most likely after all these weeks either got a refund or moved on to something else, I imagine the experience and the delay means very few will return to collect that gear and pick up where they left off. The latter will already have gained enough loot since, likely at a higher level, that it is irrelevant. That problem and it's fix had a shelf-life and they are WAY past it, any resolution now is little more than token service imho.

Also the patch introduced damage-reduction scaling issues, they're working on another fix but for now enemies are hitting harder with physical damage.

I hate to say it but 1 month on and the game is still not in a great state and it seems destined to go down a similar route to Anthem.
Every patch seems to be one step forward and two steps back.
Ive put in 105 hours got 3 character fully decked out in very good gear and builds and CT 15 is a total breeze ,so ive got my moneys worth but i wanted this game to be my go to looter game with interesting loot etc to keep me coming back but there are a few reasons why im not so sure.

Legendaries are largely useless as they roll with poor stats and these stats are set in stone which is beyond silly.
I have every legendary in the game now bar one which eludes me and none offer stats anywhere near good enough for endgame, i just salvaged them to get the mods i didnt have so basically Legendaries = mods
The so called set bonuses in these legendaries again are pathetic, a single tier 2 or tier 3 damage mod are often 20x times stronger than a set bonus is shocking.

Apart from that the loot system is pretty good tones of mods and then epic gear which does roll with random attributes so the quest for god rolls is genuine.

However my biggest issue with the game is much like why Anthem failed miserably is endgame is very shallow.
Expeditions is the only endgame and with just 14 of them that again are set in stone become incredibly boring very quickly.
Running one takes 10-15 minutes with the exact same enemies in the exact same positions same numbers same movement etc etc you get the point.
They need something like warframe,diablo,wolcen,poe,grim dawn to name a few that being randomly generated locations and enemies for the endgame activities.

Another fatal design flaw is the game world becomes redundant once you get to endgame because expeditions give much higher level gear than you can get out in the world because the world is locked to WT [world tier]
Keep in mind WT 15 gear is several levels lower than even CT1 [CT is expeditions]
So why would you even bother doing the side quests that will only give you world tier level gear gear several levels below what you can get in CT1 not to mention CT15?
So its not as if one can log in for a game and decide to look for loot elsewhere outside of these boring expeditions,remember this is a looter game first and foremost you play to get better loot.
Here again its a really odd move from the devs effectively making the game world they put many hours into redundant.

Just like Anthem the gameplay is excellent, infact Anthems combat and gameplay is better than Outriders.
But that is not enough for a looter game sadly.

This guy has provided a fantastic resource for working out if that Epic drop is actually any good. Link to spreadsheet in "show more" area.

Before I got fed up I was doing ok on my own end game, there is so much stuff that gives health regen that you can stack, so as long as I was shooting I was winning but that came at a price the higher up the tiers you went the more the enemies felt like bullet sponges. I was still getting put into games with people running story when I was at end game some of the time even though I explicitly searched expeditions. Same as with games like Borderlands I hit the wall where I said to myself why am I doing this ? Playing the same content to grind for gear to make playing the same content easier. And thats the problem with some of these games the grind is to nothing when you step back and think about it objectively.

Ahh to be enjoying that game again, its an excellent game imo. Good difficulty, good build variance, generally had a good time with it.

The game is a 3rd person loot shooter with coop, I got exactly that from it. Its not live service and there is a point where you have had enough and move on to the next game in your pile.

Would like more missions in a DLC with new objectives but thats unlikely to happen if sales are to be believed.

The removal of the Expedition timer alone is worth a look again I think. Some other very nice QoL improvements aswell. Time to reinstall methinks.

dreamers75 · 16-11-2021 9:47am

Reinstalled a few weeks ago to play with some gamepass players.

Didnt notice many new features altho they were still playing the story, oddly New Horizons is exactly what this game needed. Guess it did sell well.

They added a few achievements to go along with the new content, as good a reason as any I guess to go back. I definitely had some fun with this.

They don't look too bad and can be done on T1 I think, though one requires you to finish it as a duo. Tried it during match making last night and a third player joined near the end of the run and voided that achievement.

Basically play and finish the 4 new expeditions.

EDIT: You actually need to be T12 to play the wellspring one.
