26th October 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

News:

  • Shoe recommend owning Phoenix by “the end of the day, tomorrow” if you want the Obsidian Phoenix card. – Possible confirmation of the update coming around the 28th?
  • There is a brand new HUD for Execution mode, in case anyone missed it before.
  • Stoker’s role-call was shown on stream. It will likely be uploaded to YouTube later today.

  • If you are standing in a healing station AoE, as well as a Molotov, you will take damage FASTER than you can be healed. However, due to the heal you will die slower, but none-the-less you will still take more damage.
  • Molotov damages for 40DPS.
  • Stoker has ONE Molotov with a 40 second cooldown.
  • Fire lasts for 10 seconds on the ground, unless dispersed.
  • Stoker’s Molotov will in fact catch walls/ceilings on fire, HOWEVER due to the physics on the fire it will drop to the floor, rather than stick to the wall.
  • They DO want to add trading for loadout cards, however it takes a lot of back-end work to implement something like this. It is definitely “on the radar”, but not the very near future.

Possible changes/updates:

  • They have considered making higher “max level” servers, but instead they decided they simply want to make match-making and lobbies a lot better. So more focus is going into this from here-on-out.
  • Confirmed: There are NO changes to the “trade in” system in the next update. They are still “examining data” to make sure everything is correct in the next iteration of the system.
  • There are definitely some balance changes in the next update!
  • Some “significant” changes are coming to the burst-fire rifles.
  • The respawn bug is definitely fixed in the next update.
  • There is “something” about the sound on the minigun recurring being fixed in the next update. Rostrum couldn’t remember exactly what this was, due to “seeing a lot of bug fixes”.

Extra info:

  • Guest: Rostrum – Production Testing
  • Rostrum has been spending a lot of his time “being on top of people”. Yes, it’s as it sounds.
  • Rostrum tried the “Ruddy won” thing today… he failed almost as much as Radrodo.

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

Faraleth, the speed with which you produce these write-ups is absolutely amazing! You’re a rockstar.

Some “significant” changes are coming to the burst-fire rifles.

Well, bye bye mouse wheel shooty shoot bang bang :confused:

(Jan S.) #4

I was still hoping for Tuesday but nevermind, IT’S COMING!

About time

(BananaSlug) #6

Stoker Roll Call Video

(LifeupOmega) #8

They’ll nerf them instead of fixing the issue with oversampling won’t they?

(gg2ez) #9

All the Stoker news!

(InfernoKun) #10

Confirmed: There are NO changes to the “trade in” system in the next update. They are still “examining data” to make sure everything is correct in the next iteration of the system.

Ahhhh was trying to resist trading in some gold cards til they updated it :’(

#11

Prays that it won’t be a nerf

(DMaster2) #12

Well they hinted at a Stark buff so i wouldn’t be surprised.

(Telzen) #13

I love the stark. But I’m afraid that when they try to buff it they will ruin it for me instead. I’d assume “significant” means more than just changing numbers around. Has me worried.

(Sucrose) #14

guessing they are going to nerf burst fire weapons like they always do with everything :frowning:

Hopefully it won’t require you to be friends with the person you’re trading with.[quote=“Faraleth;19228”][list][*] Some “significant” changes are coming to the burst-fire rifles.[/list][/quote]And by burst-fire rifles I hope they just mean the Au–er–Stark.

I also hope for some minor, stat related, changes to Phantom. I feel his 110 HP is a little low, even when running away with the dagger.

The BR-16 is absolutely fine right now, except for that mousewheel bug.

The Stark is absolutely terrible. Seriously. Buff it SD, please.

Also 40 DPS is insane, I really think Stoker is gonna be top tier Support Specialist.

Don’t spend more than 1 second in the flames and the fire. From the video though it doesn’t seem to be as big as it was before. Only covers about the size of Arty’s support power.

(Kirel) #18

I’m not sure who really spread this bug but it’s a bug that doesn’t even matter that much. Many of the higher skilled players and I have been playing since CBT and we agreed that the difference between timing it with LMB and mousewheel is near null. It’s also really ineffective to suddenly have to switch firing styles just because you think you fire a bit faster with the BR16.

(Mister__Wiggles) #19

Wasn’t the driess full auto in an early version of the game? I’m expecting yet more buffs to it since the burst rifles are going to get one. I personally think that they are fine they way they are. I love the stark, it looks cool as shit and if you master it then it’s an incredible weapon. I hope it’s just ‘paper’ changes more than full rewrites. Also the stoker video mentioned the timik as the ‘better range and much harder hitting’ when compared to the m4, I hope that means they’ll stop trying to make it more like the m4 and make it unique. High damage, medium-high recoil and slower rate if fire and maybe a magazine nerf to 30 would be welcomed if the damage was upped to say, 3-5 dps more than the m4. One can hope, as always @Faraleth thank you!

(Potato_Ladder) #20

Top tier “indoor” support specialist.
