"Why does it cost $19?" "Because we need feedback to polish the game" ??????

[@Vigorthegame]

If you continued further (a few seconds afterwards), you'll also hear what's in the Reinforcements Pack - which is a part of the response to the question 😉

[@Vigorthegame]

@@Murphy-Xx633xX We aren't planning on it right now :)

@@Vigorthegame adding "what" you get doesnt juistify the "why" you charge 20€

[@froste5151]

Nothing from these devs has made sense

[@Vigorthegame]

@@Vahx14 The "why" is the "what" 😉 You are paying for the Reinforcements Pack, which is what allows you to play Vigor on Early Access. The Reinforcements Pack contains various weapons, consumables, and a unique title and uniform. Those who get the Reinforcements Pack will also help us shape Vigor's future, as we are using their feedback to make tweaks and fixes along the way.

[@spifflespoof6951]

Please, please get someone who's interested in the game run these for you. This is as interesting to me as powdered milk for infants.

[@Myles720]

It’s just so odd to me that the folks giving the first & important feedback on the new weapon haul are going to largely be folks who have never played the game and don’t have anything to compare it to with pros & cons. Whereas many of us console players are more than happy to provide detailed feedback if given the chance. The concern is by the time the brand new weapon balance changes make it onto consoles much of the major tweaks have already been made. The easy solution is to release the weapon balance overall to both console and PC at the same time. Even if this means having to wait some extra months that makes the most sense to get well rounded feedback from both new and long time players.

[@En7my]

my guess is they are trying to find some sort of sweet spot for both communities

[@Vigorthegame]

Hi there, we are looking for feedback from the Early Access period, but we are also tracking how the weapons are used via in-game analytics. But we will be looking into the feedback from console players as well once the Weapon Overhaul lands on consoles. 🍅

[@LucageArts]

Glad to hear you're prioritising the duo mode.

[@LucageArts]

@@paulalaska1484 I wish. I'm as disappointed as everyone else with how this early access release has gone.

[@OGbuba96]

why doesn't the anti-cheat work? I have evidence of how a person who is in the top of the charts for a week just runs and shoots through the walls and into the floor of the map, you need a good anti-cheat, otherwise we will die (((

[@RustamMamedov22]

If there is forced cross-play with PC players, I will immediately quit the game. I don't want to play with cheaters from PC, I want to play against players from PS, Xbox, Switch

[@En7my]

they said there's gonna be the option to opt out, bro

[@Vigorthegame]

Hi there, you can read about our cross-play plans here: vigorgame.com/news/cross-play

[@GrayFox1945]

Hi developers! Need pc or consoles crosplay! Support dualsense! Moore my friend play this game on condoles and wait crossplay !

[@Dev1ls.advocate]

Funny how they added vigor to pc before crossplay between xbox and ps

[@kirufps]

Please look into making it so NA players only queue NA servers, the game is amazing on NA servers but when I am on 170+ ping servers the game doesn’t register movement inputs and it’s nearly impossible for shots to register at range. Keep up the great work!

[@Vigorthegame]

Hi there, thank you for the feedback. We'll share it with the team 🍅

[@dimitrigirard3302]

For me Vigor is a good basic game with good game modes, after spending 55 hours on the PC version I think I have a good review to make of it. Rating 14/20 (conclusion: thank you for porting the game to PC, I've been waiting for it for 3 years but I don't think I'll continue playing after spending 20€ stolen, wait until they're free) The positive points fluid gameplay and successful immersion different game mode possible (not as many maps as on xbox for expeditions) many weapons (with a recoil specific to each) complete refuge with shooting range, possibility of upgarde etc. (lack of mini game to wait for the start) The negative points -Bug at the end of the match black screen (death match and elimination), you can spawn before everyone else in elimination, waiting time to join a game sometimes up to 30 min, you cannot see the stats of it's an opponent before the game starts (bugs are ''normal'' it's early access) -not enough possibility of interaction with other players whether outside or in lobby (being able to do these emotes at the end of the match, text chat) -lack of experience gain during elimination and deathmatch mode and does not reward strong action or MVP in game enough (point = experience) -big spawn balancing problem in team elimination mode, some give too much advantage -no reticle when aiming in third person with a sniper rifle (this was possible on xbox when the game was released) -What makes me definitely stop the game is the fact that they are going to do a wipe when it is released in free access, because it justifies this by saying that it would not be fair play against the new PC while they are going to pass the game in crossplatform (xbox 5 years in advance) so all those who bought 20€ to be able to just enjoy their favorite game we will lose the 60€ of game gold (which I found to be good compensation) as well as all our progress bases and inventory. (for me it's the worst move to make) thank you for porting the game to PC I've been waiting for it for 3 years but I don't think I'll continue playing after feeling like I'm giving up stolen €20

[@Vigorthegame]

Thank you for the feedback, and for your support. Just a note to the planned wipe, the crossplay with other platforms will very likely not happen right away, so everyone will have a fresh start once Vigor comes out a free-to-play.

[@Russian_Chicken3]

Im happy the game will be free to play later on❤❤❤, do you guys have a lot of plans?

[@Stark.-562]

Why did they pour a lot of crowns on the PC, but deprived the console players?😠😠😠😠

[@TheOriginalSin]

so that PC players can test everything possible during early access. as the video explained, everything gets wiped for PC players once this early access ends so we make zero progress and we retain zero crowns when it's all over. The fact of the matter is they should give us more crowns to help facilitate better thorough testing of weapons, plans, consumables, boosters, store UI etc etc - I see no reason why any outlander need worry about what players "get" in this early access build as again, it all gets wiped and the more we're "given" to test the better chance we will find "issues" before the build goes to all platforms. getting the best application possible out to everyone should be priority #1. pce bro

[@Smokey1656]

So only PC players are receiving a wipe not Console players? when they make it cross-platform​@TheOriginalSin

[@TheOriginalSin]

@@Smokey1656 this is correct. only PC players get wiped.

[@TheOriginalSin]

point up gesture when?

[@sispacouet]

Can we remove kill cam? So people stop giving out your location to their party.That joined the game at the same time as they did

[@justinzippo7772]

Wait you guys are wiping progression for console players too? Or is it just for the early access pc gamers?

[@rideordiesquad7700]

Dose that mean if I buy a fit it will be taken away and I have to buy it again

Yup.

[@yada6799]

so i have 86 h i gonna wipe after release ?????

[@CobraTheRed0]

I love your guy’s game I have to say that. But this game could be so much more. Getting rid of cosmetics is just is straight up wrong. You better not do that when people can pay for cosmetics and especially if crossplay happens. Otherwise nobody will support your game. That would be straight up evil. Or you could just make it so that people on console can earn crowns for free as well. You better not pull that. People will boycott your game instantly. Stop being greedy and give players what they want for god’s sake it’s not difficult. Optimize your game that latest update broke my fps and I didn’t have any problems when the game first came out on pc. Please just actually listen to us on every aspect on the game not picking and choosing. Please just give us what we want in a video game. We want a smooth fast paced extraction shooter. Expand the amount of players in the match a little and make the maps a little bigger. Put more poi’s in the map and put more loot in the game by default. Please make more. I love your guy’s game I can’t stress that enough that’s why im saying all this. This game has so much potential especially with the possibility of crossplay.

[@mynameisdominichughes3142]

You guys ignored literally every single question which was questioning basically everything. You guys are not grateful. You refuse to do basic things. Add proxy chat at least. Please

[@B0ABYSANCHEZ]

Console players have been asking for proxy chat for 4 years soooooo good luck with that

[@knightfallnoir699]

How long until full release?

[@Vigorthegame]

Hei Outlander, we're planning on releasing the full free-to-play PC version later this year 💪 🍅

[@RustamMamedov22]

Please do crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox, PC sucks with cheaters

[@Vigorthegame]

Hei Outlander, we're looking to make full crossplay optional between PC and console 🙂 You can read more about it here: vigorgame.com/news/cross-play 🍅

[@DG-ks5wn]

Why PC has cheaters? Or do you mean they have Mouse and Keyboard?

[@MartianGatos]

I’ll try this again here..Buzz from Brazil if you see this, please comment so I can sub to your page! 👍👍

[@kilianolopes]

Cross play Console X PC is a mistake. If default option is crossplay on, the matchmaking in crossplay off simply don't work (15 minutes maybe?). If i play on my switch, i was never a chance with mouse + keyboard players. I'm going to PC. I will lose all my money and skins in my switch account. Sad as fck

[@bigbrojr.4462]

Y'all have the unreal engine 5 and not even using it to its full potential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you know that is not cap!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Blessed_idiot]

remove the spectate mode after you dead asap !! when ppl teaming 2 or in 3 ppl and 1 of them die (so they can spectate all the players where they are ) rest of players on map have no chance to survive lol ,.

[@crishaben]

Imagine being told that a local restaurant in your area is offering a FREE hamburger on a certain date and you get excited only to get to the restaurant and have to pay a $20 cover charge to enter. VIGOR is the same experience. Developers nowadays must sit down and think, how can I actively kill my game and not make money? This game is 5 years old and should no way be held behind an EA window especially when they advertise it as finally releasing to PC and FREE. Might try it when it is actually free but with the scummy practices they've just pulled the game has lost out on profit.

[@Smokey1656]

Wait so are xbox players going to be affected by wipe? Am i going to lose everything i worked so hard for?

[@Vigorthegame]

Hi there, it's only PC Early Access that will be affected by the wipe before the full free-to-play version, console players won't be affected by this 🙂🍅

[@TotisM]

once this come to pc for free imma grind i used to play on ps4 free

[@ReeceChess-ij9ww]

You literally couldn't look less interested about the game, charging pc players 19.99 because they have a "different mindset" is absolutely ridiculous. Please have someone passionate for the games do these in future, the bland uninterested take on the game has put me off paying the 19.99 just to review it.

[@Vigorthegame]

Hi there, we're sorry you feel that way about the video. The goal is to provide factual information to the players interested in Early Access. Also, we're not charging PC players for Early Access because we think they have a "different mindset". We used this approach on Xbox (Game Preview), and on Nintendo Switch as well. Vigor will also switch to the free-to-play version later this year. 🍅

[@romskaiser]

Actually : 175 players on steam. the game is a flop

Pls add first person

[@TheOriginalSin]

If you allow the consoles to play against each other with crossplay "OFF" you might kill the PC port before it even gets a chance. disabling crossplay should mean just that - you only play your own specific console PC vs PC, PSN vs PSN or Xbox VS Xbox. The choice the devs make here will have a huge impact on the success or lack thereof of the PC port. Believe me, if you allow psn to fight xbox with crossplay "off" 80-90% of console players will turn off crossplay and ignore the PC outlanders. This might be OK when PC 1st goes F2P and we get that influx of new players - matchmaking will still be quick. But if player numbers start to dip after a few weeks on PC and we can only match against PC & queue times start to spike it could be bad news for the PC build. Console players want to fight each other without PC and that's not fair to the new PC players.

[@Vahx14]

If the PC version needs the population of 3 other consoles to survive, maybe its not meant to.

[@TheOriginalSin]

@@Vahx14 regardless of meant to be or not, it's here, took a lot of effort to get it here and it's in the devs best interests to make sure it not only "survives" but also prospers. The correct decision by them for the betterment of the overall application is to make "crossplay" very cut and dry - super simple - turn it on, worlds collide everyone fights everyone, turn it off - you play your own platform.

[@fridaymunchies1925]

You're worried about no crossplay killing the game on PC, but forced crossplay will kill the console player count. Coming from a PC player, it's wildly unfair to force crossplay with PC. Even if you save the PC port you're tainting 3 consoles worth of players

[@TheOriginalSin]

@@fridaymunchies1925 I don't want "forced" crossplay at all ... i think all players should have the choice to run it off/on .. but when turning it "off" psn shouldnt be able to fight xbox. If PC turns crossplay "off" we only have PC players to play .. this is how it should be for all platforms.

[@TheOriginalSin]

@@Murphy-Xx633xX PC players might wanna turn it off until they play enough shootouts/elims to have high tier guns/ports/plates/adrenaline/caffeine/heals to keep up with the already stacked console veterans
