UMD gear swap latency/lag/hiccup/issue

[Machination]

I have not had time to hop on Lam.

Can someone please tell me has this been addressed or will it be fixed in U17?

[Machination]

I take the lack of response as it is not gonna get fixed anytime soon?

The source of the issue is that the game recalculates your UMD success chance for every item you have every time you change your UMD score, so until the dev's go into the code base and completely re-work how UMD functions, this won't get fixed. As far as I saw, it is not currently fixed on lamma, nor do I expect it to be fixed for U17.

Still UMD lag on lam.

Dev posted at one point about how they were hoping to someday change UMD to only recalculate at start of quest and after shrine, but who knows when/if that'll ever happen.

Does JUMP skill get recalculated when you swap gear that effects JUMP? Yes. Does it lag. No.

Does HEAL skill get recalculated when you swap gear that effects HEAL? Yes. Does it lag. No.

I could go on and on. And there is all the time in the world for devs to make new things and fix (some) other bugs, but this is just not a priority.

I can say one thing, it makes any kind of in the line of fire UMD gear swap risky. Ah, maybe that's a welcome "balancing" side effect. What other reason would it not be a priority over fixing broken barrels in Whisperdoom's spawn?

Still UMD lag on lam.
