I wish I knew Computers well enough to know how their unsuccessful fix caused these issues. Like, there are still Auto rifle shotguns out there, but my machine gun can't Proc reconstruction, and my wave grenade launchers fire like a standard breach

Plus the whole thing where I get error coded to orbit once every 3 to 15 minutes

I mean, despite the guns being wrong as you understand them to be wrong, they aren't wrong in the rules of the game/engine. None of these guns are doing anything particularly incorrect, which is why the game held up extremely well over the weekend despite crazier and crazier guns.

However, they are now trying to figure out how to force human understandable "this is an incorrect combination of perks" into game speak... and they're monkey patching it as they go because the system is happily running "as intended".

It's just... hard. Some of these guns have perfectly normal perks. Some of them don't. Some of them are obvious (like the exotics on being on non-exotic items), but some are less obvious (like mulligan being on literally anything). Some invalid weapons have a partially valid configuration (like double eager edge... one of those eager edges is legit!). There is no silver bullet to this.

They have to find a myriad of weird combos, find the unique thing that makes that combo wrong, and fix it.... and we made a lot of weird guns.

That's the funny part, that they broke basic stability by trying to force the gun perks to play nice

I wanna know why disabling Reconstruction causes nonstop currant errors!!

cause they extensively QA'd and tested their gun system and critically haven't touched it in years. they opened up the hood and started touching things and now it's broken lol.

A competency crisis. They don't have enough people who know how stuff works still working for them.

Or to put it another way they have a complex system that can't be maintained by the current managers. They could maybe manage a simpler system.

I mean, the Tiger engine is descended from a 90s RTS game engine. The fact any of this works is honestly mind boggling some days.

Currant is one of the generic networking errors, so it's hard to really track down what is causing it without inside knowledge. My wild guess would be that some new checks for gun legality aren't performing well at scale, leading to dropped requests/responses.

Even when they fix these errors it’s entirely likely they won’t know exactly how they did it. The goal is functional product not deep institutional understanding of the functionality. An established code base full of features that your users love can go from secret sauce to poison pill really fast.

You ever use a 20 year old spreadsheet that was started seven operating systems and three different accounting offices ago? Make one change and you can spend the whole weekend trying to fix everything before just giving up and restoring from a back up.

I had mostly good luck with running GMs with randos with fun guns. best was a 11minute run, worst was like 50 minutes. I don't think I'll ever get close to that again without another glitch :shrug:

Toilet Rascal
Is it just me or is there a new bug in the nightfall where the deathtongue activates way too early? Normally it triggers when someone jumps down to the heavy ammo chest, but more than once this week I've had it trigger when we're still up top dealing with the first guys in that room and the battle hymn is in effect before anyone can even get line of sight to it. And when you do go down there, you see that the enemy hasn't even run over to the totem, it just spontaneously activated

Reminds me of the last Legacy of Kain game where everyone was complaining about how weird and janky the controls were, and then it turns out they used the engine from a driving game and hacked it into a 3rd person platform / action game.

Yeah, it usually activates when you drop down after killing the two Unstoppable Ogres, but I've seen it activate while you're fighting the Ogres and as early as when you're fighting the barrier knight at the very start of that room.

I completed my first GM on accident this past week, just before the weapon bug became popular, so I was worried when people were talking about a reset. I happened to sign up on a whim for a Nightfall fireteam labeled "chill", and I had just decided I wanted to try out Solar since I hadn't played it in a while, and Phoenix Protocol since I had just gotten a good-stat drop. Turns out, the other Warlock was also wearing Phoenix and we just went to each room and cycled Wells constantly and all of a sudden the thing was done. I hadn't even realized we were in the GM version until the adept loot and mementos and triumphs started raining. Probably something I'll never get to experience again.
