22nd September Nexon 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

News:

  • The dev team are trying to stay on schedule to release the next merc around the 30th September, however please remember that as always, these things can change.
  • Halloween “surprises” are planned, for both in-game AND out-of-game! We will just have to wait and see… COSTUME CONTEST CONFIRMED!!
  • Reminder: Merc rotation changes tomorrow! (23rd September)
  • They are looking into level up rewards, to give more incentive to levelling, rather than just “X level” on your account, and an equipment case.
  • The devs are aware of the community’s thoughts on the “Competitive Missions” and “Secondary Objective Missions”, so it’s very possible we will see some changes/revamps to these in the future.
  • The mission refresh glitch is being looked into. They are still unaware exactly what causes the bug/glitch, however they are definitely investigating.
  • Looks like a certain card type may have accidentally been confirmed… (Credits go to reddit user “hozias” for this one)

Possible changes/updates:

  • There are discussions in place regarding possible changes to the private lobbies, to allow 5 people minimum into the game. No confirmation on this though – but they are aware of the community’s concern.
  • Question: Could Red-Eye get a buff in the near future? – “We will see, but I’d say it’s very possible that Red-Eye will get a buff in the future.”
  • Question: Will you ever add a revive counter to the summary screen? – “I love this idea, I’m sure it’s something that will be added at some point. It would be nice to see medics credited and rewarded.” (Note: This does NOT mean it’s being worked on or even discussed, it’s just the opinion from on stream.)
  • Question: Could we ever choose case type A, B or C upon actually opening a case? – “I think the way we have them now means if you want a card for Nader, for example, you buy a stack of them in a hope for a Nader card in the case type you chose. So that’s why they are, the way they are. However, it’s certainly something to mention as a suggestion.” (Hmm, not sounding promising… :c)
  • The devs agree a party mode in casual/pubs is needed – so it may be possible we will be seeing this in the future!
  • They love the idea of a “shooting range” to test out weapons and items. However, this is “a long term plan”.

Extra info:

  • Guest: JordyGamerGirl – QA Tester
  • OneLetter would ship Sparks and Rhino (I disagree with this grealty.) -grumpy face-
  • Grats to @Feley who RUDDY WON, today!
  • There will be a wallpaper creation competition coming in the near future!

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

But when are the dev/nexon streams?!

(Lissxy) #2

I love missing it once again… not. Thank god for these threads.

(cornJester) #3

Sparks and Rhino? That poor tiny girl would be crushed.

(Feley) #4

Thanks :smiley:

But I am @Feley without 1 here :tongue:

Also, as always nice round-up :smile:

(sirjj) #5

I always miss these. i followed the channel and ticked the email me button when live. W

What time do they usually stream?

(JesseKomm) #6

Thank you @Faraleth for another round-up! <3 Now, to discuss the matters at hand. Public parties are definitely needed, especially with the new lobby changes since they restrict team switching in Objective mode now.

Would be nice to see what they have in store for Competitive and Secondary missions, since they are the most tedious to complete, I’d almost like to see mission preference options, but when you prefer a mission it becomes more difficult to do(i.e. the experience amount is higher for it’s tier).

[EDIT]: I forgot to add a heart, I felt bad about it… I had to remedy that immediately… and again here <3

(PeneTraitor) #7

Will level up rewards be retroactive?

(JesseKomm) #8

I can only assume so, wouldn’t want people complaining about no compensation when they are level 50+.

(Yes) #9

I’m really disappointed in this answer. Currently the way it is, it is anti-consumer set up to appear pro-consumer. The only reason not to change it to when you open it instead of when you buy it is because they make more money if someone wants loadouts for mercs in different pools, since buying 5 of each is more expensive (and it’s even more expensive if you want to split it up 6-4, 7-3, 8-2 or 9-1).

(LifeupOmega) #10

I wonder if we’ll get these rewards added if this happens for all the levels we’ve already got. :smiley:

(Faraleth) #11

Yeah, I completely agree @Clown. I thought it was a really good suggestion and it’s something I would too personally like.

The cases are over-priced alone, so I would certainly think something like this to improve user satisfaction and convenience wouldn’t harm them in terms of cost - in fact it might even encourage more people to buy them, considering it would some-what decrease the RNG factor just a little bit more by getting to pick and choose between case types.

Perhaps with a more vocal response, they may reconsider… :wink:

(watsyurdeal) #12

Personally I want merc specific cases, I’d be more inclined to open cases that are merc specific than the current. But that’s all we have for now.

(MarsRover) #13

Agree. This whole split into A and B is just bad design, like if no one sat down to look at the full picture. It was pretty obvious that split A/B + bulk discounts = players wanting to buy 5 each, or any other ratio. So now they either have to throw some work into the trash or have less income and less happy players.

(neverplayseriou) #14

Oh boy I wanna dislike your post, rigging that giveaway @Feley xD

#15

Assuming the Logitech cards follow the suit, this is what our options will be:

Why don’t they just skin all 3 available weapons for each merc and make it so you could get ANY of the cards, instead of offering up garbage nobody wants?

(Mister__Wiggles) #17

Logitech skins for aura and skyhammer. Seem too similar to the alienware ones and they were underwhelming. A bit disappointed :confused:

(K1X455) #18

@MissMurder @Faraleth Please extend my gratitude to the Devs for implementing a functional “merc/loadout” change in the lobby.

(Yes) #19

All they have to do is change it so you select which pool you want when you open the case, instead of when you buy it. They won’t have to throw any work away and they would increase their income whilst being consumer friendly.

(Potato_Ladder) #20

Disappoint that they still don’t utter a word on fixes for throwables so far :frowning:
