can something be done for us players who bought the apex bundle and already had the red vbi outfit?

[xXxDSMer]

- Will there ever be meaningful inventory management available? Having everything in one long list makes things rather difficult and unwieldy when you're looking at 100+ items. Something like tabs would be helpful. Perhaps having separate tabs for consumables (grenades, spikes and stims), mods, weapons and 'wearables' (shields, chips and rigs), for example?
This. Tabs/folders... would be great!

- Any chance we could get a shared bank/footlocker for all of our characters? Some sort of transfer option that doesn't involve having to find someone trustworthy to hold our items (when their inventory space is already at a premium!) while we swap characters?
And this, so much this. Also include all untradeable items as things that can be put in this shared bank/footlocker (untradeable weapons, rigs, chips... it all belongs to the person at the controller, no reason it shouldn't be moveable between the person's different characters through this bank/locker which is only accessible by the other toons on the same gamertag/account.)


"- Are they any plans to deal with leechers who exploit conflicts, sieges, arkfalls and other events? They'll run in, shoot one or two things, then run off to do expeditions and still get credit for completing daily/weekly contracts, pursuits, and rewards for the event."
This actually doesn't bother me at all... its when they sit in the area doing absolutely nothing that bugs the crap outta me b/c they're making it harder and not contributing at all.

And for an original question: what the hey is up with all the excess lag lately? Which is happening on all platforms & regions.

And for an old question: when's the lightning rifle going to be fixed?

1. Is there any plan to unlink firing rate from frame rate?

2. There are several oj weapon mastery bonuses which are objectively worse than others which provide the exact same bonus. Is there any chance of removing these from the pool of available masteries at the oj level? Examples include crit multiplier when crouched, crit multiplier to our of combat targets (more on this one in the next question) or crit multiplier towards incoming targets being lower or equal amounts than a flat increase to crit multiplier. It stands to reason that something with a conditional requirement would provide a larger increase to balance it out.

3. Why are there perks and masteries against out of combat targets? Has anyone ever actually wanted one of these? Especially when the bonuses are so small compared to the amount of use this will provide. Even for PvP these are not very useful as the in combat vs out of combat mechanic is not individualized but a blanket statement where if a player shows up on your radar (meaning they have fired a shot of any kind within the last five seconds) they are in combat. I may be incorrect in my understanding of the mechanic but the underlying issue is still valid. The ratio of possible shots which receive a benefit from these types of perks/masteries vs total shots fired is a very small number and the benefit gained does not reflect this.

4. Burst fire weapons fall far behind other types of weapons due to a disconnect between card dps and actual dps resulting from the delay between bursts. A delay which is not present in weapons which are normally automactically but are given a burst fire magazine. The weapon that I feel suffers the most from this would be the disruptor which if the burst mechanic were removed would be a great weapon. It seems like whoever was determining base damage on these weapons looked at the card firing rate at gave it damage based on that rather than actually using the weapon and seeing that the card is a dirty dirty liar. Interestingly enough; fragger shotguns are not handicapped in this way; though that is more likely due to the low firing rate of all shotguns and their largely semi auto nature.

5. Expeditions are still not worth the time and effort required to get to the upper tiers. It's not about the max loot tier being the highest chance of getting a legendary. It's about needing several hours to get to that level and then dealing with enemies which have been buffed way beyond anything else in the game and still not getting anything worthwhile as drops. I would actually be ok with only receiving t3-t4 for 99% of the drops if they were limited to mods and chips. It's getting T3 guns and shields at the highest reward tier that is terrible. At least the mods and chips are either something you can only find in expeditions or sell to a vendor for a decent amount of scrip. Not to mention mods come in so many varieties are synergies that looking through them is worthwhile. I don't even bother checking the weapons or shields I get as they are never going to be used nor do I engage in much trading. Also; I've run about the same number of WM and rounds of expedition and the number of OJ's I've received from WM far eclipses the number of OJ's from expeditions. I'm still around one OJ for every 60-70 rounds of expeditions (and that's a low estimation considering I am positive I've run at least 600 rounds of expeditions and believe the number to be closer to 1k and have received barely over 10 OJ's).

6. Inventory management continues to be just horrible. Any chance for some sort of system like pages or even just the ability to sort the items manually? Anything that will allow me to determine where my commonly used items are for quicker changes would be great. As would being able to put the newest items at the top of the list so I can sort through them quickly and efficiently.

can general world threat level scaling be reviewed please?

due to the resent buff to all weapon scaling and cyber rigs, im now dropping threat level 10 enemy's as if they were threat level 6.

can all 6000 ego players be at a constant threat level 10 in open world? some sites like kith and kindship sights are a completly different experience from TL3-6 to TL10.

thats a great way to get the rest of the ego 6000 players to quit the game

Agreed, if we could purchase legendary chips from the vendor people would do expeditions to find bunch of purple/blue rigs/chips and break them into shards. One orange chip for 300-400 shards would make sense.

- Will ark salvage EVER turn into a worthwhile resource that we can use to improve/modify our gear?

- Why was the decision made to release a new weapon tier (supreme) into the game, when other issues in the game clearly need addressing first?

- Why does it have to be so difficult to submit a bug report in the game? Personally, I can't even remember the last time I bothered filing one.

- Why do the faction contract listings randomly change order from day to day and/or week to week? I think an alphabetical list would look much more organized.

- Will the Thorn Liro vendor ever receive some tender loving care?

[Ray8888]

I will be the fifth to ask about Inventory management. At the very least give Chips/Rigs their own. It was ridiculous before Expos now it's just impossible.

Also would like to know the status on the last RS Syn, Bug nades and the lightning rifle. And good job on the Keysttones! That definitely should have been the first fixed

Lastly, as several others have asked I also would like to know when the vendors are getting tweaked.

I can tell you that Phantasie has atleast most of the achievements on Xbox. Trick had about a fourth of them on Xbox when he was still around.

Those skills at the war master though... surprised he didn't have more unlocked.

Can we get chat support back without needing a bit store purchase or season pass or whatever thing you wish consumers to purchase to get help for your game in a timely manner?
