The Dev Talk - Ask everything here, to keep it all together

i feel your pain entirely. almost 3k hours spent active in destiny, and that is excluding orbit and the tower. i could really care less about any of the exclusive content that ps4 got for destiny. the strikes were meh, and the pvp maps were two of the worst in the entire game. i cannot lie, i was enraged and am still very bothered by the extra 5 days of beta. the character unlocks is fine with me, but double beta time is not

I remember during the CTT someone made an article about how they stacked loot items and became gods (eg. one person had three ROF-increasing loot items which stacked and turned Reyna’s Laser pistol into a laser gatling gun, or having three cooldown reducing items that also stacked and made ISIC always using his ultimate). What have you done to prevent loot stacking like that?

You can’t stack primary stats anymore.

I did that with Montana. 3 ROF stacks = OP

Good. I was worried about that.

Technically, you can, but it’s far more limited.

Stats are divided into Major stats and Minor stats. The Major stat corresponds to the icon of the gear item. You can no longer stack major stats (so, simply…you can’t have two of the same icon in a loadout).

To maximize a stat, you’ll want one item with the major stat on it, and then two that have the same stat as a minor stat.

Aside from that, we did a fairly thorough pass through gear after CTT to try and bring all gear more into balance. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still some issues there, but we’re tracking and fixing them as fast as they’re revealed.

Primary = “The big main stat of an item”, or did I understand it wrong and there are items that only have Minor stats?

Sounds right, in the interview which someone posted yesterday they sad its because some characters got to strong by simply stacking items with the same mainstats (it was atk speed on the 2 swords guy)

I just wondered how “primary” could be that different of a word from “major”. So I tried thinking up a context where those words were actually different and asked whether it was correct.

Nice work with the fix!!

Hello, I wanted to ask anyone have an opinion about my topic on Benedict? :wink:

is battleborn early access key(preview key?) have expiration date?

Will a FOV Slider be added to consoles later? It made a huge difference (enjoyable) when it was added to BL:THC. Fingers crossed!

I was watching Gothalion stream earlier and he couldn’t find it on the PS4 so I’m guessing it’s only a option for PC. Hopefully they add it to consoles down the road. it really makes a huge difference, even played through THC again when that update dropped.

Can i change the language of the steam preload client?

Is anyone else see marquis (sniper) gun when in pistol mode. phase in and out of existence while running in split screen mode? I had this happen a few times while running the algorithm.

I’m now playing open beta on PS4, and so far so good. However, I’m not sure if my progression in open beta will be brought to the game when it is officially released. Can anyone answer this question? Many thanks!

it wont

Thanks!
