(2019) SMG Changes + Twine Investigations

This thread was added on August 15, 2019, with posts from Magyst.

Original Post

Hey everyone,

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that in update v10.20 we’ll be making the following Hero Perks buff SMGs in addition to Pistols:

  • Make it Count
  • Hipshot

Note that if you slot two Perks that apply exact same buff to the SMGs (Assault Damage and Make It Count for example) the buff will apply to all three weapon types, but the effects will not be doubled up on SMGs.

Additionally, we’re currently investigating an issue where the Twine Reward increases may not be working properly. Thank you to everyone who has given feedback and raised awareness to this issue.

Stay Awesome Community!

Glad you and DemonJoeFrance worked out something that works for the community.

This change wasn't a result of anything a content creator said or requested. We gathered and compiled the feedback across various places (reddit, discord, dm's, etc) and re-evaluated. It definitely wasn't the intention to strip Pistol focused Outlanders of their weapon pool.. so we're making the needed changes.

Hey /u/magyst don’t know if you guys are already aware but SMG weapons since the update can’t be flux. Gotta look into that too

Most definitely. That one is already on our radar. Here is the Trello Card for tracking.

This comment wasn't intended to be negative toward DJR or Magyst.

DJF is one of the newer content creators for STW and as someone that's been around the oldest STW content creators it's upsetting that he seems to have more communication with Magyst than any other creator.

Sure, DJF is probably the biggest content creator on YouTube/Twitch combined - but this is because the people that used to make YouTube videos or stream on Twitch (daily STW streams - for months, even years) have left the game because of the lack of communication and support/changes from the dev team to make STW a fun game to play everyday.

Slygumbi's list of STW streamers had over 50 streamers last I saw it. I don't know for sure but I would be willing to bet 80% of them no longer play STW.

he seems to have more communication with Magyst than any other creator.

DJF and I have a good line of communication. But I can also tell you that I have contact with other content creators as well. TikTak, Allura, Vash, Lyon, Isher, the list goes on and I bounce around quite a bit letting these guys know that there is a new communication piece. I also compile the feedback that they have on a topic. Some are more open about the communication than others as it sometimes creative a negative light.
