    Teaming up/Cheating in Encounter. An examination.

    I’m afraid sir you’ve misread my reply the defamatory post was regarding a player falsely accusing me of cheating to which I had proof I did not. I did not imply anything you had said was defamatory or against the terms of the forum, perhaps it was how I had worded it that made it less clear I know it was a large block text so my apologies. The teaming topic is a completely different subject matter and wasn’t the point of discussion in the other post that was removed. I had been accused of aim botting but had twitch footage to prove this wasn’t the case. Anyways hope that clears this up?

    Teaming up/Cheating in Encounter. An examination.

    A very formal and very long description for this issue to which I hold no particular fault to in your point though too much here for me to comment on it all. I would like to highlight that the topic in question was removed at the request of both myself and a a large number of other individuals both because it breached the forums terms of conditions and because it breached both mine and one of my friends rights too. I’m effect defamatory and egregious claims to which the offending player had no proof and in fact I had recorded that proved my innocence. I’ve been labelled a “cheater” by a number of people who get jilted because they died either to a meta weapon im using at that time or a common weapon like an m2 carbine that I’ve trained to be good at and they would have adrs or some other good weapon. People assuming cheating happens all the time and in many cases this can be true i merit! I won’t name anyone here but I’ve seen 3 different clan tag teams using cheats and aim botting, some of which I still hold clips for! As for your other points you have to take it with a pinch of salt. I have no issues with genuine dynamic teaming where your pegit solo and bump into someone who’s unarmed. I know it’s seldom rare but such occasions have arisen and I work with them to both get loot. Admittedly though I usually just hunt for kills as it’s all I have left to do and is worth more battle pass exp. the devs have made modes like Elims and shootouts which does help a little bit to filter out the bad ones but it’s always going to be hit and miss. I must say as well on the money side of things it is a small player base so I can understand the need to charge for things. They do offer sales on cosmetics with occasional freebies and crown packs. standards of cosmetics are also much better compared to what they used to be, the battle pass was also extended by 25 levels with ample time to complete. I could go on forever with the list of changes they’ve made to improve things so I feel I must defend their practices here, compared to so many other games that have purchaseable loot boxes and gambling mechanics this game thankfully avoids all that with the only real gamble being a player boosting the drop and not getting it. Vigors a good game 🙂 stick with it outlander! Thanks for the feedback!

    New Challenges

    Well I would say they are “possible” but very impractical and the rewards don’t match up, collecting airdrops are much easier as you can get the main drop and the red crate which both count plus you get a boosted crate for doing that challenge. Definitely needs reworking. Same with some of the elimination and shootout challenges. Some easier than others and I don’t mind there being challenges for those modes but making it so you have to get 10 kills in a row in shootout is untenable.

    New Challenges

    I will say there are plenty of good challenges still but I must admit some I’ve seen are very poor indeed. For instance one such is to “loot 5 red chests” basically 5 airdrops that….wait used to be a purple crate challenge? Now it’s 3 radiation grenades and some chemicals I believe 🥱 loot materials challenges are also unimpressive. Like looti wire and metal for 250 exp and a weapon box. I do like the fuel and electronic challenges as their worth more exp and you get a green crate and some grenades that are worth the time. So yeah it is indeed a mixed bag, more tweaking needed I think we should list out a comprehensive list of all the challenges we like and don’t like and be like right these are the ones to be changed!

    Vigor outage?

    I suspect this could be an Xbox issue I had an issue loading into arma reforger (also a Bohemia game) and was running into issues as well. Let me know if your still having issues I didn’t think to check the Xbox live status report yesterday I just left it and went to bed 😄

    Legacy Season 8 Rewards

    Ah okay perhaps it’s delayed then 😁

    Cassettes???

    Must admit I rarely analayze the exp section after an encounter so I failed to notice that detail and often passed them up for other items to use in that slot. Definitely won’t be bypassing them in future until I finish my battle pass 👀 but yes I must admit it’s a it of an oversight. A idea of sorts would be to have a “daily challenge” style notification pop up on walking out of an encounter with a tape that shows “collected tape 1/12 2/12” etc

    Legacy Season 8 Rewards

    If you already earned those rewards you won’t get them a second time if that’s what you mean? Your vascular getting to pick up from where you last left off to earn the remaining rewards

    Cassettes???

    Oh! well thank you for the correction I wasn’t actually aware of this I’ll keep that in mind for future encounters!
  10. Matthew Aiken

    Cassettes???

    Sooo to answer the first query there are 11, 10 and 11 cassettes in order of seasons respectively. The reason their just “cassettes” when you find them unlike the first chronicles season (vengeance) gathering these will award any missed collectibles for previous seasons (once the previous season tapes have all been found. Of course however once you have all of the tapes for every season you can still collect them but they won’t do anything for you and are not worth anything. It is worthy of note there should be some form of indication as to how many tapes there are to find each season to save us guessing but anyway hope that answers your query 🙂

    M249 and loaded ammo ?

    Indeed high capacity weapons like this should also be on your loadout prior to leaving an encounter it’s a great way to bank extra ammo while keeping that bag space for actual exp gaining loot 👀😉

    Loot throttle

    I’m not normally one to complain about something like this but I recently completed a 700% loot boost game on fjellkanten and was getting 3 food from boxes that used to give 4-6 stacks of 25 food Which I needed for a challenge. Sorry but moneys worth of crowns don’t seem to be well spent at the moment. I know there’s an issue with people levelling alarmingly fast but if we’re spending the money to do so, should see the benefits of that. I know my maps very well and what spawns where and it’s clear it’s been spread out a lot more much to my irritation really.

    Elimination Issues

    Ah yes the scoring system in Eliminations where having too many points can be as bad as scoring too little. Sometimes better to lose the match but have a high score and get a good crate than to score top marks and win the game to get two meh Elim crates while the enemy get a gold crate that’s worth more exp and gear 😅

    Vigor 2 please 🤣

    I mean don’t get me wrong I love the goofy outfits at least more effort is going into cosmetics these days instead of different various of tan cami weapon skins you get unique looking stuff. But yes I am also wondering what the future will hold myself.

    Gronth Valley Mid Exit

    Yes it’s possible whatever your weight limit but obviously it’s easier to make that jump the lighter you are, excess weapons actually cause more weight issues than actual bag loot tbh. I know what you mean though about that exit, I for one rarely play that map anyways, the few times I do I avoid that exit altogether.
  16. Matthew Aiken

    Loot throttle

    To answer this question look to elimination apparently you can can get gold crates without ever spending a dime and I don’t meet the elim crates either this was new to me just today and now I think I’ll be play Elims for the time being 🤣

    Quick question about new season

    How many tapes are there within the absolution season? Not listened to any yet and just wanna do em all at once

    Bring back XP boost for Legacy

    Not really as there’s no time limit for those anymore so it’s just a gradual process of finishing them if anything it’s compensated for by the extra daily challenges you can Re roll for better ones. Trust me you’ll finish sooner than you think despite this ☺️
  19. Hi there as of the last couple of weeks I’ve been unable to launch vigor, due to hard crashes, no error message displayed just get dashboarded. Wish I could provide more info on the matter but not sure what to suggest are there any others having this issue or is this something that’s known about? resolved seems to be an issue with series x instant on feature a cold restart from the mains power fixed this issue for anyone else ha I this problem. 💁‍♂️

    Insurance cost to much for solos.

    I would weigh in here and say it’s a fair shout that it be 20 crowns solo 40 and 60 respectively for the team sizes makes sense. I’m all for it 😄

    The Death of Vigor: Solved

    Muzzle flash for non silenced weapons is a good shout I could buy into that if only as a test 💁‍♂️

    shelter upgrade

    There most definitely won’t be any kind of fishing in this game as has been pointed out in the dev streams in the past would be nice if something did get added though.

    Crafting weapons questions

    Wouldn’t worry too much as opportunities to raid better weapons are generally plentiful, combination of luck and skill knowing when to grab something good and when not to get greedy. In my case I always keep at least one of every gun and any spares I just use and enjoy the game with. In your case save purple and gold weapons either to use or dismantle to afford other things.

    Cosmetic clipping

    Noticed a small clip between combat goggles yellow and face protector flecktarn camo items I’ve the left eye of the goggles, minor airbrush required but I thought I’d mention it! 😁

    Right thumbstick sense ?

    I would have to have a look at this but I’m sure that if your on console you can retune your controller that way, also make sure you have installed the latest controller updates via Xbox live. I’ll update once I’ve had a chance to check this myself 😄
