Zak Phelps in Global Chat with some answers

I just went into the game and who was in Global Chat ? Zak Phelps and he was allready bombarded by Questions which he tried to cover as good as he could. I havent gotten everything out of it but here are some snippets i hopefully excluded right.

  • Global: Joined Save The World room 6251
  • 0o.o0: since we're on the topic of quests, can we get a tree diagram of all the quests, if only to show each of the nodes and leaves (don't have to reveal what each quest is)
  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: yeah it's on the list. basically we do more work on the quest page

  • ShadowDweller: Can you look into defenders' stats? They are lousy shots and lack HP+shields severely.

  • ShadowDweller: It pains me to see my sniper miss her shots like 2 tiles away.

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: have you been upgrading them? and yes that's on the list

  • ShadowDweller: Yes. Lv30, every single one.

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: i'm thinking the scale is off too, it's on the design list

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: at least to look at

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: no promises of a change

  • SeloSwe: need better quest rewards, none need green/blue at 50+

  • ShadowDweller: Is it possible to make them scale off FORT?

  • skandalouz: is the story line being worked on actively?

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: quest rewards become more purples in canny

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: and playing sts gives good schematics

  • DaLexy: How about the unusable perks on traps

  • DaLexy: will those be exchanged in the future ?

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: @DaLexy been a few questions on that current plan isn't to fix them at the moment

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: we are figuring out how to make alterations changable in some way

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: so that will let you fix that in the future

  • ShadowDweller: Is Poison Gas Trap triggering propane tanks intended?

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: @Shadow not sure on my list of things to ping the designers on though

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: some traps are trigging some not, it isn't clear right now

  • ShadowDweller: Back to China Shop tactical: will it be looked into at some point? Compared to Anti-Material Charge, its damage drops off in Plank and onward.

  • ShadowDweller: Fixed 600 damage to non-player structures.

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: we're going to look at all the scaling of perks

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: there's a bunch that we need to iterate on

  • JimJamJewmalamb: I hope that includes heros support and tactical bonuses where there are WAY too many out of place/underpowered

  • SeloSwe: no nerfing

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: haha no promises, we will iterate on many of them

  • BuddhaSlapU: I wish we had more synergies

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: I just heard the cats

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: we do too Buddha

  • DaLexy: btw. Zak, last Dev Video was absolutly spot on, hope this continues now every week.

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: that's the plan, appreciate all the feedback on the videos

  • ShadowDweller: Aye, Zak, one more question regarding defenders…

  • ShadowDweller: There're nodes in the skill trees that gate storm shield defenders behind some unnamed quests. Any ETA to add them?

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: no ETA's at the moment on those, we're working on Horde Bash event right now lots to do there

  • Rothbark: Shadow, the bigger problem is no one uses storm defenders anyway.

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: Challenge the horde will let you use 4

  • Rothbark: Yeah, probably 1/100

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: one for each player

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: yeah I'd make sure to lv one of them up

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: horde doesn't use zone resources, it's only resourced from in the mode

  • x-Ghetto: @zak pls buff ninjas. Sick of playing soldiers since launch. :/

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: haha I hear you on ninjas, we're digging on the hero balance

  • DaLexy: Ill reask, Zak, when can we estimate a revamped canny Valley ? Assets are done i guess ?

  • [EPIC] Zak.Phelps: not on Canny, I can say we're working on it

After that he went silent since he was also at the same time in a meeting or two 🙂 Hope some people find some answers to their questions.

If needed i can post the whole chatlog unedited.
