I like what I've seen so far for 1.4.

I currently have 3 alts at Level 12 so found it interesting that Level 12 was the base line for how they want Time to Kill (TTK) and Time to Be Killed (TTBK) to work - ie how tough the NPCs really are.

With a relatively optimised Level 12 (all blue weapons and gear, with some thought into the build with regards to stats) I had no issue soloing against Level 15 normal and veteran enemies. I haven't tried it yet on Elites but I expect I could take them on.

If they get the linear damage model correct, the difference between 12 and 15 should be the same between 30 and 33. World Tier 4 should be solo'able by CasualCore (I think that is the term for greater than 500 hours but not hardcore) if the TTK at 12/15 is anything to go by. So I'm really excited for that.

It will be linear :) they are using a level 12 characters ttk and ttbk as their model for scaling so that should continue post 30.

If you haven't done so, watch the most recent sotg, they show level 33 npcs in their test environment with the new ttk and ttbk.

Even for the standard, if it wasn't a Horizons game maybe.

I won't pay £50 for a digital game now - BF4 was the exception I think. Like hell am I ever paying £80 for a pre-order from the Windows Store for anything.

On topic 1.4 stuff - yay. Need a decent shooter/loot game again. Hope the fix the crap drops etc.

The drops will be fixed, more evenly weighted, and increased pending world tier and difficulty setting on incursions.

Will be awesome, especially in the pve world.

I still think that if you are min maxxed now, we will still be min maxxed post 1.4 but at least the pts will give us time to see what we need to do to gear to get min maxxed and iptimised again in prep.

I just want to jump right into tier 4 lol

I spent 100eur on FH3 Ultimate - simply because im gonna playe whole year this game anyway,besides all DLC's etc..worth way more than Div ever be.

That another dig at an expected group slot on the OCUK discord? Or should I say closed group? :P

Mario is back to his old ways, happy days fam!

On another note, for those who are used to running 4HM with glass sentry builds and reclaimer support, try UG again and see how aggressive you can push through it! It is just so epic having the offensive against the lvl35 NPC's now and forcing your way through the UG with tactical link and SC.

Been running with 285k toughness the last few days for the UG and really pushing it which I never did when the UG was first released

I was speaking in general that solo players finally (hopefully) will get some love,but since you mentioned it, seems you know whats going on OCUK Disc :p :D
Once example: somebody asked for a slot (not me-i wasnt even playing that day) and the answer was "(insert name here) he was playing with us since this morning,so this slot is not free" - well,this is total BS my friend if such things going on.
Another thing - there more people on Disc,yet they totally getting ignored if there is players from your usual preferred group.
Sure,sometimes when group needs a player you asking,or when someone in a mood,but thats about it.
Surprised more people not talking about this,but since im a Mario and an ass,im not afraid to say how i see it :p :D Feel free to have a laugh at this post in your group ;)
As you can see,there is basically no players left in Div Disc,same few faces daily,but that clearly doesnt bother any of you.
I dont care about myself as i can do most things solo,and after 1.4 probably will be even better (hopefully) for those who love solo (group crap should have never been forced anyway in this game).
Massive should just totally scrap this group bs - wanna group - do it,but not forced like now.

There was an internal PTS today and based on the success of that the PTS for ETF Applicants will start on Thur 22nd September 9am. Non ETF will be able to play on Mon 26th September 9am. There is no NDA. You will start of with a lvl1 character in Brooklyn. They are hoping by the 29th Sep you can transfer your current character to the PTS environment.

There is much more info in the stream, so have a watch.

Can't wait to give that a go, will be streaming that as soon as it's live. That's my Thursday planned then :D

Just watched a bit more and during the PTS they will eventually give you a vendor that has all gear items apparently, so you can max out your gear to test. That will be awesome to play about with and test out.

Great, I was planning on starting an Alt anyhow. I'll leave it til the PTS hits :)

Removed rant as I actually don't care anymore Mario. lol Its just a game and I see it differently.

What I will agree with - solo play will be viable for sure and I am looking forward to trying solo play out!

*********************************

@Radeon - cannot wait to see you stream it man! Excited :)

A lot to take in...it's going to be like playing a whole new game.

The change to the major attributes will take some getting used to - Toughness 6464 armour, or 91% under the current mitigation and 3911 Stam only gets 293k Toughness - no cap on skillpower but a dimishing return and the change to DPS will mean a complete recalibration of what the numbers mean.

Puzzled by the nerf to Smart Cover - only 6% use so maybe it's a case of myth vs reality, but who knows how it will all come together. Support station and recovery link providing revives to dead solo players will certainly help. Wonder if Nomad will still provide - that could be three ways to revive.

Looking forward to trying them all out in the PTS.

I've been on most nights over the past 2 weeks levelling up alts. I went into the DZ at Level 10 and have been back in for at least an hour each session. The thing that has struck me the most is that I have not seen another player the entire time...not one! It's just been me, NPC mobs and Supply Drops. Working to get each alt to DZ 10 to start with to be able to open the crates and then to 15 to get access to the purple gear at the vendors. It's actually been very enjoyable with a Level 13 character in the DZ (having a level 4 filter and Tactical Link also helps).

Cheers,
