Thanks for the Hardy Circuit nerf. Was super OP.

Is this nerf again, or additional introduction for the unspecified nerf on previous patch?

Excellent!

[ZeRoboButler]

Nice to see the bugs with the chassis getting fixed so soon, hopefully we can see the gamma circuits and the affinities soon.

My curiosity is killin' me!

[A.P.Erson]

Not being able to move backup chassis via a hammer is gonna be annoying to anyone that didn't get the skill that lets you transfer via the map, do you think maybe you could make it so you can swap consciousness from within the same screen or at least a certain radius instead of only via touch without the skill, just to make it easier to move one to where you want it to be?

[Kondr_]

mb we should be able to move backup chassis as heavy object. right now it may uncomfortable to move bodies long distances around. right now it is only telelocator staff and only with via-map-transfer-data perk

I'm 100% sure that the operation and existence of Roto-Mapper need to be adjusted based on my experience in beta over the past couple of days. i have also seen several thread that asking for how to operate them, obviously it is not only me who came across this issue.

 

Firstly the operation of Roto-Mapper and Transport should be changed. Currently, they use the "Menu Accept" button to finalize their destination which was barely used for now—probably the first time I've ever used it. It took me over 10 mins to figure out how to operate them at first time. Why not modify the action of confirm destination to a simple mouse-Left-Click or mouse-Right-Click?

 

Then it is not reasonable that the Roto-Mapper cannot be created when the amount of them reach the world limit of 2 for now. I believe this restriction should be changed. Players should be allowed to build a new one when there are already 2 of them in the world, and once players build a new one, the oldest one would should immediately crash to keep the limit of 2.

This is because Roto-Mappers often fly extremely far from the player’s current location, making retrieval extremely difficult—image that you use it in Day 5 but the next time to use is Day 70, what do you need to do? Players are pushed to travel across the entire world to recover their Roto-Mapper-----who are now fly to the end of the world. This is incredibly annoying.

 

Finally, the user interface of Zaptrocuter: A crosshair should be added right in the center of the aim reticle. There are players like me who have no spatial or geometric intuition—so a clear visual reference would be extremely helpful.

Too much damage reduction will make the WX-78 OP, but too little will be weak. Maybe we can replace the damage reduction with another plan?
My suggestion is: each super circuit can increase the healing effect by 10%, and each small circuit can increase by 5%. This can increase the healing effect by up to 35%.
This may be more practical and not too strong.

ty. rip 75% nerf. it'll still make armor last a bit longer i think? people were still asking for nerfs, but that was because they still thought it was 60% due to it not being stated being nerfed to 30% in the last patch. At least in my case. it's probably fine.

We just need to reverse Maxwell's Shadow's defense ability
The HP circuit does not provide defense, but when wx is not under attack, it accumulates 1% per second, up to a maximum of 20%

What platform are you on? And can you provide any additional info on what might affect controls, such as remapped controls, mods, controllers attached etc.  The action has always been mapped to left-click.  For frontend screens, left click controls are sent as menu accept, but both should work.

5% is nice little bonus. what about planar protection.

or flat protection up to 5 after armor reductions which means you do not lose health from weak hits with strong enough armor. (mb so you do not lose health from wet until charge down)

Suprised was nerfed rhat much tbf but the health does scale with the reduction a lot. It’s probably a good idea

 

Maybe the other alpha circuits need nerfed to compensate

Maybe like 1-2 per circuit.

However this probably isn’t nessisary.

 

Damage reduction rhat works like Wigfrid’s already reduces planar damage

Very cool I remember briefly mentioning this.

It was like that last patch maybe they test and it’s still too strong.

TBF the new alpha circuit slot makes this justified since you are not using it over speed and stuff. Just maybe the other alpha circuits could be toned down a little.

[gamehun20]

I'm not sure where to put this but i was thinking could we get a skill in the skill tree that allows circuits to be powered even if only one of the pins gets power or like half of them rounded up it might be strong but if some skills end up being compressed it could be a newt replacement 

[xhquf]

I think the Beanbooster Circuit should increase health and shield regeneration speed when out of combat. This isn’t so much a balance issue as it is about reducing unnecessary downtime.

Changes

• Reduced the armor from Hardy Circuit’s skill perk.

But it already got reduced to 10% last patch and 10% was perfect, 5% is too low 😢
When I'm playing I like going for builds, 10% felt strong enough that I could consider stacking more than one HP circuit to go for a gimmicky tanky build but not too strong that it would outshine other alpha circuits and builds coming from mixing them. Was something specific tested that showed that it was still too strong?

sorry i have tested and found out it is the mod Global Positions that cause the left click been occupied or  Priority of whom been overridden or something like that(who knows? i dont check its code). strangely i have checked the situation of Walter and found wobby goes well with his transport perk when Global Positions working.

and please please please carefully consider the other two suggestions  thank you!

it wasn't mentioned in the last patch notes. there were a few threads asking for nerfs all weekend under the assumption it was still 20% per. some of which thinking that 30% with 3 would have been more or less fine which it was at at the time.

Sorry to ask trivia but I can't check right now - What is the current craft? Because if still requires scraps it not only doesn't defeat the porpouse to have to find junk yard anyway but also makes us not getting extra data from that place aye

Wow, now this is amazing. I'm considering using this early on now.

This is the next thing to add for sure. It is MUCH needed.
