(PSN)Hikuro-93 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) They did mention it in the patch notes. First statement on the AW changes section, in fact.

(PSN)Hiero_Glyph Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Welcome to being treated like a second-rate customer. At least they didn't delete all of our settings and chat filters like last time. Don't worry, I'm sure they will fix it before going on holiday for the rest of the year and not leave consoles with no Itzal Blink or universal blink for nearly a month. /s Could you imagine if they did this to PC?! EDIT: And all they need to do is make slide=descend and roll=blink, or make blink use operator mode's command. There are plenty of unused archwing commands. It almost makes you wonder why archwing doesn't have a separate control scheme yet. Edited December 17, 2019 by (PS4)Hiero_Glyph 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (and 99% of the console base, probably) would trade our wait times for having to "beta test" as well, in a heartbeat. Especially when there's anything significant story wise, when our choices are either avoid the forums, YouTube, and all ingame chat for like a month (or longer) or almost certainly have everything spoiled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't act like I didn't say consoles haven't got anything to complain about because there are plenty of bugs through all versions of the game client rather it be console or PC. Just a lot of the major testing for updates is done on PC because we get updates as soon as they are ready. Again, PC tests before hand, a lot of bugs are fixed but, there's plenty that get shipped in the consoles version of the client. That can't be helped since things are always different on console than it is on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all the feedback changes from PC are then put in affect by the time consoles release hits said console. Not all of course, and further feedback from consoles can be seen making it's way to the game on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have encountered several bugs, but nothing game breaking (although I mostly played solo or with my clanmate). My friend told me that the PUBs tend to be more buggy, with the ship dissapearing sometimes for a short amount of time etc, but again, nothing that would make it "unplayable".

(PSN)drpunk-yo Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Weird. I'm sure I discovered last night that blink (on PS4) is double tap R1. Or is it just Itzal that does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just said that it wasn't making it for the drydock update, PC players also didnt have it for the drydock update and it's fixed now that railjack part 2 is out. ^^^these bugs still exist now for controller on PC so you should be thankful they should be fixed before console gets the update.

Grow up. 8 hours ago, tzadquiel said: tiny violin sound? you will get your blink, just a little god damn later. geeez I made this point in the actual update thread so it was lost here, but no one forced DE to release Rising Tides at the Game Awards. It added nothing that couldn't wait a week for polish or to fix the known problems with button binds. It's not like consoles will be getting Empyrean this year so releasing it a week later would have had minimal impact. Furthermore, DE needs to learn their limits. Releasing Empyrean was their primary focus so why did they have to release Rising Tides simultaneously when they had all of their attention on Empyrean anyway? It could have come out earlier in the week or a week later and it wouldn't have mattered. Why? Because it was about PR, not about releasing content when it was ready. At the very least leaving Itzal with Blink could have made the best of a bad situation but, again, DE forced the update out the door for the big announcement, not because it was the best for the game or console community. At least in my industry people are held accountable for bad decisions like this, especially when there was no one forcing them to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were optimistic we could include it, but it was apparent in our testing that we’d cause quite a few binding blunders releasing it in its current state. So we are putting time into releasing a more controller friendly version of the changes for our console Tenno. That said, one Archwing change we did include in this update from the batch in PC’s Update 26.1 is Itzal's new ability “ARCH LINE”. This means that Blink will be temporarily unavailable until we release it on all Archwings with sensible bindings. It goes without saying that we know this is extremely disruptive for our Tridolon hunters who heavily rely on the ability - we will be resolving this in the next Update! We know this is not ideal, we apologize for the temporary hold on Blink while we work to improve overall Archwing controls on controllers. the post was last edited the friday b4 your post OP. you must not read patch notes. The edit was not for the archwing changes either it was origin pack launch dates so the AW changes have been there from the start.

There are bugs but they are in a galaxy far far away from having any game breaking impact on the mode. If it was so unplayable it would be kinda odd to see so many in Veil Proxima already. I think I've had to abort 2 missions as a whole due to bugs. One was me getting stuck in archwing, which broke my game when I entered a turret. The other was me getting stuck in a hangar with invisible walls before I had reached a rank high enough to use my omni as a teleport. The mode works better in this "alpha" state than most modes have worked at full release otherwise. And no mode has been released unplayable aside from ESO early on due to host migration issues. And then the patch today fixed most of the annoying visual bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
