Dear DE. since Fortuna: Hotfix 24.0.4 , Free roam archwing animation/gameplay was changed to normal space archwing which is objectively worst: one is old and the other one was released in 2017 and clearly looks 10times better, and subjectively worst: we can't DO A BARREL ROLL now. I have no clue why was this changed, I'm starting to doubt if this was even intended, i can understand nerfing archwing speed to to make K-Drive more useful but reducing archwing gameplay quality is foolish to say the least. Kind regards, Vati. Edited November 13, 2018 by Vati.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex-Eos Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Pls bring back barrel roll controlls, it felt so fluid and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaself Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Revert the change, please. It now takes a long time going anywhere and the view angle limit does not make sense. No loops, no barrel rolls. I also hope it was an oversight and not a design choice to push people towards Kdrives. You don't make something more appealing by making everything else less fun.

Kainosh Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yeah....its no gud without Barrel rolls.... Btw Barrel rolling is a bit slow in AW. Need to be a bit faster IMO. Anyone here played Strike Vector? I would love same flight system for AW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaself Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Big Strike vector fan here! Moreover, the flight model does not make any sense either... if you turn portside, gain some speed then quickly turn starboard using either the mouse or the keyboard, you will be pushed starboard... while your momentum should actually carry you portside, where you accumulated inertia. Also, the boost is barely noticeable now, I wish I could get more than a 20% increase in speed for having to hold TWO buttons. 🤔 tl,dr : after the hotfix, archwing inertia goes against physics and instinct! I'm sorry I can't fly like this... Edited November 13, 2018 by lukaself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked DE to fix that "momentum" many times....but was ignored like Kubrodon's poop during Toroid farm run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attel_Malagate Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Please DE, instead of nerfing Archwing, consider buffing Kdrives speed instead, GIVE US THE OLD CONTROLL BACK, the new onse are to not fun anymore. Also food for thought, but if we could actually do something USEFULL while on k-drive aka use abilites or at least shoot, we wouldn't use archwing all day Edited November 14, 2018 by nononimous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brosef42 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Seriously why would you change the controls. You could at least give us the option to chose. I could understand why some people might find the older easier system to use, but for people including myself. The new controls were much more fluid and had a greater sense of motion that the old ones cant even begin to compare. The whole point for your game is for it to be fun. Why would you purposely make your game less fun? Also its been said before, Nerfs are always worse than buffs. Make the K drive faster. It already felt really slow. Which is weird because this game is all about fast paced action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSG501 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yeah can we get this reverted please. I preferred the old one too and the boost nerf (it's hardly any faster) is just a poor attempt to make people use k-drives while totally ignoring the reason we're not using k-drives in the first place.... The reason we don't want to use k-drives is that they're too slow for the size of the map they're being used on, on PoE they're fine (still slower though) because the map is smaller but fortuna is huge in comparison. Then we have people taking even longer than just the travel time because they're 'wasting time' doing tricks between bounties trying to get the tiny amounts of standing it offers.. not all of us have unlimited game time, some of us have real life to consider so do things more 'efficiently'. In all honesty, PoE should have been the one to introduce k-drives and venus should have been archwings as the 'upgraded' transportation because it would fit the 'scale of the map' better. As it is now we've got a slower, more cumbersome and less useful (you can't even shoot from k-drives without 'leaving it', let alone archwing abilities) device that is supposed to be the 'transport mode of choice' when on venus...

Brosef42 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Please DE, I know its easy to say we are just complaining over nothing. But please consider reverting your changes to the archwing. Or at least give players the option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorchedSpartan Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Please do bring back the old controls, I want to actually fly through the open air of venus not walk on it really fast. I loved the old controls, please do bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRInsane Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 BRING BACK THE OLD CONTROLS Or at least add an option for them. There's no point in using the wingsuit Archwing anymore, if I can't skim the landscape at 100mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amhiel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I can't understand this thread, are you guys seriously missing the old skywing controls? I'm baffled. I'd never say no to more speed but the current control with experimental flight on just works great. We're using A and D to strafe everywhere else, every time I tried to do that while dashing in the plains it tilted instead, it was so annoying. What do you even need barrel rolls for? I had never had so much fun with archwing in POE as I'm having now in Fortuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no clue people actually enjoyed the old controls; they seemed horrid to me. Maybe they were more "realistic", but they weren't any fun.

Kirinketsu Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) I still remember the first day Archwing came out I was so excited, I was yelling at my friend in TeamSpeak, GET ON WARFRAME THEY ADDED ARMORED CORE, I loved how fast the Archwings moved the turning the melee attacks the running into walls for hours until I got good at flying and learned the maps, then Itzal came out and I almost died so much SPEED. I took around a one and a half year break or more and when I came back Archwings felt different slower and sluggish along with the controls being meh I "changed" the controls back to the old controls but it still did not feel like I the Archwing I remembered, then in Plains of Eidolon is was so painful flying around and trying to fight while in the Archwing. Fortuna felt better maybe it was the changes to Archwing but it still didn't feel like the Archwing from years ago. I know most people never liked Archwings I think it had to do with the missions and the close quarter's map that took a learning skill set to navigate in at anything but snail speeds, but as someone who loved Archwing since the day it was released please give those players to option to use the old Archwing "controls" Edited November 14, 2018 by Kirinketsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temragon Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Alright so. I'm posting here instead of creating another thread. I like this better. This is closer to how Archwing launched, and now if we can just get rid of the residual inertia, it'll be how it was at launch. That said I understand why people might miss the dual-mode controls from Plains and launch Fortuna. IMO, they should be active when Experimental archwing controls are active. What we have now is -while slightly less amusing (Can't do barrel rolls) and slightly less flight-simmy- more useful and quicker to learn. Also, if you mention "Old" controls, it's probably useful to be more specific so everyone's on the same page: Launch, Experimental, Plains/Fortuna, or New Fortuna, since they're all different. And we still need a separate toggle sprint for archwing. Edited November 14, 2018 by Temragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennmuerti Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 If you don't want to revert the change at least give us an option to toggle it back on. This change made Fortuna much less enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's broken, then it's broken and needs to be fixed, but when working correctly boost simply applying in whichever direction you're moving makes sense and used to work fine.

Brosef42 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Honestly they ruined archwing for me. It went from feeling like i was driving a jet plane to driving a flying station wagon. The mobility sucks and Its slow. DE reverse this update. Fix the K drive. Leave the archwing alone. Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
