Patch 1.4 release Tuesday 25th October

[Oh. daesu]

It drops Tuesday, 25th. 

State of the Game had a "crack open the beers" feel .

1.5 + Survival should have pvp changes. Mostly 1.4 affects the DZ indirectly, where they expressed the preference to observe 1.4 live than 1.4 pts before implementing pvp changes.

I didn't grab the patch notes in the feed. Maybe later or maybe someelse wil follow up.

EDIT:

So, next 5 days you can get your currencies/intel in order

I for one, let my pc's split from cap. And intel. I'm a slacker, enuf said.

Boom! I win the "game of guess" I said before November. lol! 

I have no idea where to focus before 1.4 comes out, I've been just gathering as many PX, money and HE/GS drops that I can!!

haha lol. well said.

The word at the beginning of this month was the 25th. And they hit that. Though, as you know from your dev exp, hitting a target is both the distinction of a good achievement and a fucking mess. With the PTS we should hopefully side with hitting the mark. Hopefully...Seriously, it should only be minor misses and adjustments after the 4 pts patches.

Loots is plentiful in 1.4 (relevantly speaking). Blueprints, currencies and intel more relevant. Gear and blueprints most likely will get re-rolled. so what was crap, not necessarily so. HE 229 golds are more interesting. If you like to play, the HE gold are actually worth it.

And post 1.4 comments.

Exp matters for caches (i.e. loot). So, even helping citizens count. Roaming counts.

And in case they haven't fixed all pts bugs, seeker mine flames... they burn.

All these I'm really looking forward to. I've always got but put to one side HE Gold items as being "inferior" to Gear Set items. If this new patch makes them "on-par" then these might be the boost to people running 2+2 builds, that spare slot being always the one they don't really know what to fill with. 

I'd like to have a better reason to use blueprints as well, I'm a Dwarven miner/armourer by nature!

the beauty is, they're are on par. Which means you can consider not just using them, but stacking them.

Stacking, as in using them instead of sets?!?

 

[Oh. daesu]

yes, there are some good ones for skill power, or example.

That's what I'm thinking...it might take longer to sort out and do the "admin" in the game as you can't just look at a piece and instantly know some basic stats though. 

 

[DeadSockPuppet]

I like the sound of that.  I've been trying to figure out what set combos I want to work with, but I've been on the dense for some of them.  It will be nice to find some solid HE pieces that i might be able to use instead.

Two gold skills that come to mind that I have used are;

• Get health based on damage your skills do (pair it with the new scaled up turret).
  
• Get 200% of your firearms and Stamina combined as Skill Power.
  

If you can keep your turret up and firing then you get a constant source of health.  A force multiplier that give health as well.  The heavies usually go straight for them though.  Place them out of reach for the best effect.

One nice touch I have seen a few times with the AI that surprised me and made me chuckle si when you ignite the fuel tanks of the non-big boss cleaners, some of them rush you :51_scream: .

PSN is running maint on 10/26 from 1:30-2:30am EST/10:30/11:39pm PST.  Plan accordingly if you're on PS4 and we're planning to run all night for 1.4.  Sounds like players will still have most functionality, but you've been warned.

Not sure if you spoke on this but how will time to kill be because im tired of dudes with shotguns running through a berage of bullets and one shotting me. or sniping me with the shotgun like the thing has zero spread.

Much improved  :12_slight_smile: .

Challenge mode can be done solo with a reasonable build and some tactics unlike 1.3.
