21st September Dev Stream Round-Up


(Faraleth) #1

Remember, as always, unless specifically stated as confirmed, please take everything with a grain of salt.

Got a burning question that’s missing? Was I blinded and missed something that you’re turtley dying to ask? Check out the FAQ here: http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/17544/dev-nexon-stream-faq

UPDATE: I should clarify that the update is now TODAY! For information, go to: http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/comment/84911

News:

  • The update is still being finished off. It’s unlikely to be tomorrow by the sounds of it, so we are looking at a Wednesday or Thursday update!
  • They are aware of the BR-16 mouse-wheel exploit and the devs have taken note of it. Some sort of fix should be coming in the near future.
  • Confirmed: NO “trade-down” feature is coming or being worked on. However there are “other things” in the works that relate to the useless cobalt cards issue (sounds like they might be very soon)…
  • They know that game votes are not passing in some conditions when they should. This is being investigated and will be improved soon.
  • Question: Can you give us any hints as to what kind of things we can expect in the upcoming update? – “We can’t confirm anything until we have the build nailed down… In case something has to be taken out because it’s not up to the standard we want it to be – or if it’s not as PRETTY as we want it to be.”
  • This weekend Splash Damage will be taking part in Tough Mudder! This is a fund-raiser for the charity Just Giving, which Splash Damage are partnered with. If you are interested, you can find out more on the fund-raising page: https://www.justgiving.com/Splash-Mudder

Possible changes/updates:

  • The hit-boxes for deployables (such as healing stations and turrets) were “being worked on recently”. Whether we will see improvements in the NEXT update or not is unconfirmed, however there is definitely something in the pipe-line.
  • Question: Could you increase the time between matches to switch mercs and things like that? – “In the next update there is something along those lines which should help you, so keep an eye out for the patch notes.”
  • Question: Is there any chance we will get the option to pick A, B or C case type upon actually OPENING a case, in the future? – “That’s an interesting idea, and that would definitely make it much easier. I’ll note that down and forward it to the devs.”
  • Muzzle flash will NOT be allowed to be disabled, due to turning it off gives a direct advantage.
  • Question: Will you ever allow badges to scroll in the match summary screen? – “Good suggestion, I’ll have that brought up.”
  • Question: Will you give us the option to buy more than one case in one go? – Shoe hinted heavily that this might be a feature coming soon.
  • Question: Could Red-Eye receive a buff in the near future? – Sounded like there was nothing being worked on for him, but he said they will “look into it”.
  • Toomic said the Underground door bug was “fixed” today, however it still needs to be confirmed by QA, as to whether it’s completely fixed.
  • Toomic also submitted a report regarding Sparks’ REVIVR hit-detection to be looked into. (Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future!)

Extra info:

  • Guest: ElectricSheep – Environment Artist
  • ElectricSheep’s current work mainly includes the map, Dome.
  • Shoe’s brother told him “whenever someone says ‘Free Willy’ you have to pull your trousers down”. So when he was little, he pulled down his trousers in an art gallery when his brother said ‘Free Willy’.

If you asked a question on my question request thread this Sunday and don’t see it here, fear not! These are only the points covered tonight; there are more streams this week.

Enjoy… Until next time! #roundup

So that’s why the BR 16 seemed more potent lately.

I’ve been dealing with people who literally never hit headshots on me with it but seemed to kill me awfully fast at long range.

Or maybe it just seems that way due the aim punch changes and server lag.


(Faraleth) #3

@Watsyurdeal Yep, they can pretty much turn it into a full-auto weapon with the “exploit”. I’m sure as Mister__Wiggles and Feley will tell you, I was getting a little annoyed playing Sparks earlier, getting sprayed down by a Skyhammer abusing the gun in this way (because he was pretty much 2-3 shotting me, with insane fire-rate and no loss of accuracy)… lol. Hoping for a fix really soon. >.<


(LifeupOmega) #4

Now I have to go try that BR-16 thing out, I’ve already got the timing down on the gun though so I wonder if it’ll actually be worth it?

Toomic also submitted a report regarding Sparks’ REVIVR hit-detection to be looked into. (Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future!)

God I hope so, been playing a ton of Sparks lately and I can murder with that thing but taking several shots to revive someone usually leads to my death.


(cornJester) #5

No trade down planned… I swear to God if they just add another tier of cards I will rage! It will severely rustle my jimmies.


(Faraleth) #6

Not gonna lie - so will I. >.< My jimmies will be rustled.


(Lissxy) #7

FFF why do I always miss these?! Do they stream at certain times or is it randomly?


(FilterDecay) #8

another tier would be cool. Does it matter? Its all cosmetic anyhow.


(cornJester) #9

When you work hard to get a cobalt either through grinding or by working and spending money on it you deserve the ability to at least get one that is usable for you. Some people hate certain loadouts and can’t play as well with them as well as duplicates which are useless and a waste of time and or money.

Adding another tier with no option to reroll or trade down or anything like that will just make the problems plague the next tier and solve nothing. It’s just cosmetics is no excuse, these cosmetics take a lot of time and or money to get, we deserve to have ones we are happy with.


(Nexx) #10

Not really related to the stream roundupp but still. i joined the server not knowing it was the stream one, must’ve sounded so stupid when i asked “are you the real shoe?” ingame XD

also very interested in what they mean with the " or if it’s not as PRETTY as we want it to be.”"

TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS


(pumpkinmeerkat) #11

Hopefully the REVIVR gets some attention before the next fine tuning update is approved. The hit detection issue is very apparent when reviving from certain angles and trying to make precise shots. I hadn’t noticed before the Phoenix update.


(N8o) #12

I have been complaining about this for months now. >.>


(JesseKomm) #13

Thank you for another round-up @Faraleth <3 I’m excited to see what the solution for useless Cobalt loadouts really is if they are not working on trade down, if it’s a new tier then it’ll be even worse, other than that I feel like a “Reroll” option on the card for a sum of credits is a perfect compromise. Actually I’m gunna say this is my question for the next stream because this will undoubtedly be a huge concern for most people… especially Faraleth, you’ll get your 383 soon!!!

Also glad to see something being done about the mouse wheel exploit and that Splash Damage are able to see it is in fact an issue, whereas most games they seem to ignore it since only a few weapons have the ability to be exploited. I thank you for being above those other developers in understanding when something, despite being capable with the bindings, is a serious exploitation. <3


(Mister__Wiggles) #14

@Faraleth yeah that br-16 exploit is pretty cheap and I did record the guy using it as well. I wasn’t even aware of it existing until you mentioned it but glad they are on top of it.
Also, no trade down sucks. I really need to get rid of my br skyhammer :(. ‘not as PRETTY’ sounds an awful lot like cosmetic stuff coming, ability skins maybe?


(Yes) #15

Pretty? Now I’m excited.


(GhostEntity) #16

As always, thanks :slight_smile:


(SteelMailbox) #17

Hey I was there too, you know what we no fwends no more.


(god1) #18

:smiley: using :smiley: custom :smiley: keybinds :smiley: is :smiley: exploiting :smiley:

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Fun fact: normal people with normally functioning hands have always been able to get max RoF out of the burst rifles with just a little practice in timing, this is nothing new.


(MilkyBear) #19

New video settings? New graphic? xD


(LifeupOmega) #20

I swear if they cripple the BR and Stark because of this I’m going to be so salty. I’ve had a difference of about half to a quarter of a second between the wheel and mouse clicks when I tried it earlier.
