First of all, those new battle-fighting-standars, they (sorry for my language) suck. After one heavy attack your avatar just freezes. The temperatures doesnt work correctly anymore, I am cold when I am in the desert - COLD!
And second, its way to dark when there is not lights what so ever ingame. Its the darkest of the dark, even if I change the graphic settings.

Am I the only one who is tired of funcoms “fun” way of handling this game?

You’re not the only one at all. I’m wondering if they’re trying to run this game into the ground. Saw the same kind of patterns from another game developer once on a different game. That game no longer exists and could have been something great. Incidentally, neither does the developer.

Also, I’m wondering why ChilliC’s post was flagged. He didn’t do anything wrong except agree with the OP. This is what I was talking about on past posts about people abusing the flag system just because the person making the comment is saying something someone doesn’t want to hear. Sometimes the truth stings kiddies.

I would wager that it is slightly off-topic. Some people around here are quite prescriptivist on the nature of tangents, such that a “throw another log on the fire” post can be assumed to be simply bagging on Funcom.

My question for you is why would they run the game into the ground? They already committed to Sony’s stringent requirements as a Plus title: it will be supported and “DLCd” for how ever many years their tier of participation exists. I’m still playing a free copy of Borderlands 1 thanks to Plus, on my PS3.

Why? There isn’t anything constructive in this feedback or anything for Funcom to use. I suggest you elaborate on what you don’t find enjoyable.

What heavy attack?

There are several factors that go into the temperature system. Please be specific in what you are seeing.

This wasn’t changed in patch 37. It’s been like this for a long time, and can be impacted on the type of display settings you use.

How is that comment “off-topic”? Seems more like agreeing with the OP to me.

I’m only speculating. It looks like if it were cleaned up a little it’d get unflagged.

Standing in front of a fireplace in a Turanian building at the starter river and : I’m VERY COLD !
Wear epic flawless light armor -
So agree on you Zcarlett: What have you done Funcom ?

This is getting worse and worse by every patch being released…

reposting as I have also seen this issue with temperature resist gears. what are you die hards going to do? flag me for speaking the truth? or because it annoys you to see me point yet another imbalance in the game? nerd raging is NOT CONSIDERED A VIABLE REASON TO FLAG ANYONE . if the truth hurts you so much stop living in a darn lie!

i will answer one or two things

as for temperature the ONLY way to be cold in the desert is if he wears EF pictich, acquilonian or khitan with heat resist shield and he has the temperature adjustment perk from vitality and the dreg torch.

many areas in the game are pitch black jungle volcano, tundra and no matter how high we turn the brightness of the game the pitch black doesnt go away.

for the rest i cant answer since i have been busy in ff14 and wow classic

Beats me…yet here we are 15 months after official release and the game’s still loaded with bugs and performance issues.

Don’t know about the OP, but every single one I’ve used with my favorite weapon…axes. I’ve paused so long after a heavy attack, the npc’s have had time to pin me to rocks and slaughter me and I can’t move to get out of it. Never happened before.

That’s what I was thinking.

Clean what up exactly? His grammar? He isn’t cussing anyone out or saying anything harsh and he’s on topic even considering this part of the forum is general discussion…unless you consider agreeing with the op and speaking the truth about patches dirty. In fact, I don’t see where he’s breaking any forum rules at all…hence my comment about the flagging abuse on these forums.

I believe it. There’s something wrong with the graphics system in the game. I can literally change from the lowest to the highest graphics settings in CE and there’s very little noticeable difference between any of the settings. This doesn’t happen in any other game I own and I do regular checks and diagnostics on my gear…no issues found with my hardware.

Not sure what you guys are talking about my main base is in the desert and I was on earlier today wearing silent legion armor I wasn’t cold at all but I do use an Xbox One X … see your first mistake was buying a PlayStation

heat resist gears have insane effect, also silent legion is outdated as crap now. you can get just as good in medium armors

My char is wearing flawless epic heavy Stygian armor (without that silly helmet), and I am getting a bit cold in the desert sometimes. I do believe that it did not(!) have two heat resistance bars on each piece before the patch, but I am not sure…

Just kidding about the PS4 I don’t own one so wouldn’t know how it performs

I have all the armors I just like the way the silent legion looks I still need to make the new dlc armors though haven’t had the chance to make them yet

Ah!!
That will be the “root problem”: Non DLC armor heat/cold values got upgraded to the same level/mechanics DLC armors has.

From the patch-notes:

  • DLC Armors should no longer differ from basegame armors in terms of amount of temperature protection.

And big surprise, that was not a nerf to DLC armors, but a buff to non-DLC :wink:

It’s a questionable “buff” if it can still take you too far in the opposite direction on the thermometer. Although I do understand the logic of getting hot in the winter if you’re wearing exceedingly thick layers of clothing, wearing the best possible kaftan in the desert shouldn’t make you feel cold.

Yeah it has still many flaws/unlogic behavior.

You wear nothing in the desert in the night and temp is ok.
You put on heat resistent clothing and you get cold…

You shoulnt get colder than naked or has the clothing air conditioning built in?

It’s simple. Armor in CE functions on the same principle as this guy:

(normally I’d say first one to tell where it’s from gets a prize but Google made all such games redundant)

I am by no means defending flagging or its profligacy. After having recently suffered a flag, I learned all I had to do was make some changes to the post and if deemed less offensive, will remain unflagged thereafter. This is a mechanic I do not like, but will abide by.

Similarly, a well-established mechanic in the game is heating and cooling, and in terms of Epics, ultraheating or ultracooling. It’s a part of the game. Even an experienced player like @jot29 still complains about it:

The difference is jot’s reply comes off much less ranty than the hidden post in question. That’s all subjective. Not a moderator, just a regular guy.

Did I complain? For one time, I did not :slight_smile:

I just find the mechanic/logic strange, as clothings are passive heat/cold protection (normaly). So you should never be colder with clothes on, than naked.
The other way round, it makes sense. You feel more hot with cold protection as when you are naked.
