24th August Dev Stream Round-Up

I’m too hesitant about buying Stoker. Especially since I re-discovered Nader today and had a pretty fun time. :confused:

People, convince me !

(watsyurdeal) #22

Unlike Nader, he’ll likely have the M4, and ammo station so he can resupply himself.

And like Nader his nades explode on contact…but there’s fire! :smiley:

50k credits plus fragger, how?

It says: “…in this month’s issue of the UK PC Gamer. (Please note: This is the September issue.)” So, if you live in the UK, you buy a copy of PC Gamer (the magazine), and I assume inside will be a code for it. Nice to get rewarded for living in the UK for once! Can’t even count how many times I’ve not been able to participate due to not being in the US.

@GildedDark It comes ‘free’ in the September issue of the UK PC Gamer (note: This is UK only as far as we are aware). It must also be a physical copy - the digital version from GooglePlay or other sources does NOT come with the usual ‘free’ additions.

@Faraleth leth Ok thanks for clearing it up :smiley:

But I don’t like the ammo station. I prefer the so versatile ammo packs. :frowning:

Stoker is indeed very needed right now. There are many camping spots that will lose ton of interests once he’ll get released.

And for Phoenix… Much hype around it, but no matter when he’ll get released, he’s one of the most average merc of the game with poor abilities. So better not expect something he’ll never be.

(misspo) #31

Well pheonix suck… His ability would be interesting for sparks. Because she is reviving from distance and often when you kill her, you can’t finich her because she is far away/body not visible.

It’s just a gadjet thing. It would be interesting if the auto revive was 50% faster.
But actually he is pretty useless. I will not wast my money like i did with red eye :slight_smile:

Speaking of red eye, he is a competitive merk. Great for tactics with a team but in ffa? better play fragger. For me pheonix is a FFA merk too and will not be play in MM.

(Faraleth) #32

I personally really want Phoenix… :3 I like Sparks, but I dislike Aura and Sawbonez as medics.

Phoenix is a nice middle ground. Can heal on the fly, and self revive when he’s down, and is slightly faster than Sawbonez. Looks like he will be a lot of fun - for me, personally. ^.^

(spectrrrrrre) #33

I really feel like people are underestimating Phoenix’s ability. When you die you are not always in the position to get gibbed. Sometimes you die at range and are by yourself, or you clipped a proxy mine that you could long jump away quick enough from. Or other explosives that weren’t close enough to gib you. Sometimes you’re in a big fire fight and they dont have time to gib you as they’re trying to down the other teammates fighting. The self revive will let you pick yourself back up in those situations, and let you keep healing/reviving the rest of your team. This is very strong.

His weapon selection is also incredible. IIRC, he has access to the Kek10, Crotzni, and Hochfir. He straight up has solid killing power, maybe slightly more than Sawbonez. Phoenix is going to be a very solid medic.

Except the fact that his heal is solid junk shit even below sparks half medpacks which makes him a sitting duck medic on top of everything else. I agree, played solely he was/will be great. But played with team mates, better get any other medic or simply play an assault if you want to rambo :D…

(SirFrancelot) #35

@Faraleth I also asked shoe about the possibility of having taunts added to the game (I suggested Skyhammer playing his bagpipes :smiley: ) and shoe added it to his document for considered additions

(Yes) #36

:scream: Actual information from a dev stream instead of the same stuff every time?

(Faraleth) #37

@SirFrancelot Yeah, I saw that question ^.^ I don’t tend to add the things like that to the round-up though, because if Shoe is only adding them to a notes document now, it means no designers have looked over the suggestion, meaning there is no chance for them to appear in the game any time soon :3

(Reddeadcap) #38

Also remember Phoenix would get his whole 100 health back after using his self revive ability and his default being the Hochfir is no slouch.

Would only be better for him if the way he revived himself was like how it was before

Every stream is basically:
