Do you have an idea on what the upper limit of improvement would look like? I think the game looks fine but I'm just curious.

With enough time and resources we can continue to improve it substantially - the upper limits come mostly from performance concerns

Thanks for the kind words everyone - the team is very happy and energized that people are enjoying Season 2! Lots of little fixes in the works right now so thanks for the feedback and in game bug reports.

Cheers! See you in game

Can you do something for the character selection screen? Those models look very bad. It looks like a 15 years old game and those faces are honestly a punch in the eye...

Yes

The old temple guardian model 😂

Oh man, ya it was bad lol

Working on many UI navigational things first this will be right after!

I just want to say, all credit goes to Snap he put the team together and he had practice on the boss. We’re not part of any HC race, we just play ARPGs together for fun and minmax from a group perspective. It’s been a really fun 2 long session’s leading up to this kill and I’m glad it turned out the way it did. We’ll kill it some more tomorrow because it drops some crazy loot! :D

Congrats guys - no easy feat!

To be fair it used to look pretty damn bad lol - we had no budget at all and were piecing things together after kickstarter so the sentiment probably lingers. Our game has visually evolved more than 99% of games do over time and it’s continuing at a rapid pace. Still far from done but getting much better!

Things like the old Fallen Osprix model and some of those bad ground textures 🤢 still exist but we’re upgrading all of it

This patch is amazing, I love the Nemesis mechanic. One suggestion tough, could we have the cosmetics available in offline mode?

Yea, I’ve asked the team to make cosmetics available for offline. Barring anything unforeseen we can get it into next season update 👍

Appreciate the kind words and the team is very glad to see so many people enjoying it. Everyone is energized and enjoying playing ourselves. Always good when the day is calm enough that even our leadership gets a good amount of playtime in on a launch day! 48 rogue here about to switch to marksman for heartseeker myself :)

We have a long list of little fixes cooking too so we appreciate everyone’s feedback and reports

This is nice to read after a launch day. The team is super glad everyone is enjoying it as much as they are and we’re all energized.

Thanks for all the feedback as well. We already have lots of stuff cooking for season 2 follow up patches. Cheers

Can we also get some controller stuff in? There's still no option to equip the second ring without manually dragging it.

Yes 👍

Yea we want it. It’s way more challenging than it sounds and we didn’t have enough time to fully consider the implications for season 2 but we’re going to raise it back up. No promises - but we do want it and have started discussions

Good input. We’re collecting threads with WASD feedback - adding this to the list

definitely still happening in season 2. Also submitted bug report. Alt-tabbing seems to lock the controls to any joysticks/controllers plugged into the pc and mouse+keyboard becomes unresponsive

Thanks for the reports guys. I have QA on it now

Haha we should stream the backend war room… that would be a cool peek behind the curtain. Something I would have enjoyed being on the player side. I can’t drop that on my team just hours before launch but I’ll talk to them about the possibility for season 3.

Yea that may be the sentiment the team has and I’d defer to them. Our war rooms are pretty calm though, even when things are on fire. We all know we’ll get through it!

Much appreciate the PSA, u/guddefulgaming ! We’ll have everyone at the battle stations ready to pull levers if anything does go down due to load.

To answer “can offline characters be swapped to online” the answer is no. This is because with any data that lives on client side solely (your PC) and not our servers it is possible to hack and we dont want any hacked items or characters joining the online realm where people compete on the leaderboards, trade items, etc.

Appreciate all the support, everyone! Look forward to seeing you all in-game tomorrow.

Cool! Shared internally with the team

Yea we’re updating lots of areas around the game over time. Replacing old enemies and VFX, updating sounds, improving lighting (you can see what we’re capable of now with the mono hub video you’re referring to https://youtu.be/9WruTK_UUu8), huge character animation update underway as well. You can be confident that over time the game is going to look and sound better and better as we never stop working and updating in that regard.

Haha, apologies for all the butts. We haven't seen anything like this in our testing internally, at least for many months, so I suspect this is fixed with the upcoming release.

We do appreciate the bug report though!
