2nd November 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 next update is a “fine tuning” update.
  • The issue for “useless” CW loadout cards is definitely noted and is being looked into. Keep an eye out for updates on this later in the week.
  • There will definitely be more merc released AFTER the current announced ones, however they will likely slow down to less than every month, due to work on other game content.
  • “There’s Aimee, Thunder… Turtle. And then – someone who’s being made.” – Sounds like Javelin is actually in the works right now!
  • We will “soon find out” how to get the Humble Bundle skins/loadouts found in the game files.
  • The Humble Bundle skins/loadouts will “be different” to the Alienware or Logitech skins – this most likely refers to the way in which they will be given away. My guess is that they would be part of a bundle.
  • Splash Damage and Nexon skins are likely to remain as planned, for staff only.
  • There may be a contest in the future to win an amazing Dirty Bomb themed Alienware laptop!
  • There ARE events planned (such as double credits or elite case weekends), however there is no details on this right now… Stay tuned!
  • They understand the drop-rate is perhaps a little low for the Containment War event cases (0.3%) and a higher drop-rate is up for consideration on possible future events.

Possible changes/updates:

  • Loadout card trading is NOT in the works right now, it is simply an idea on the roadmap. However, this is because of other priorities which include “public matchmaking and another map”.
  • The Fletcher bug (slowed animations) will be fixed in the next update!
  • A BUTTON TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE CASES AT ONCE IS BEING WORKED ON!!!
  • Profile stats are NOT final and there may be more stats to come in the future. (This possibly includes headshot count, among others)
  • The ability weapons stats should be coming in a very soon/future update, as these don’t currently show up on the profile stats page.
  • They “want to make levelling more desirable”, so we may see some improvements to this in the future. Sounds like the levelling system is definitely here to stay, too.

Extra info:

  • Guest: Psykosis – QA
  • EXP exploiters are being looked into – data such as EXP gain is monitored, so if you find someone EXP farming, don’t forget to report them too! It is definitely against the rules.

Enjoy… Until next time! #roundup

Already ?! Wow, great job

(InfernoKun) #3

Lot of great info in the stream today xP Nice job as always Faraleth.

(B_Montiel) #4

As usual, great job !

By the way, any news about servers ? I vaguely hoped for minimal server stuff after the last update. I noticed less server crashes, but warps and roll backs still happen way too often. But more worrying is that I noticed that the hit detection is becoming wayyyy too tolerant now. I recorded a couple of situation where I am the attacker client and hit after my target passed a wall. This never happened before. I know I’m probably obsessed with this very specific topic, but I’m still thinking that it could improve the game feeling greatly, and we still never had the opportunity to even have a couple of testing servers with narrow anti-lag, improved tickrate etc.

Well done again, Faraleth.

(Faraleth) #6

@“B. Montiel” MissMurder did in fact ask if anyone had any server issues (because their server crashes on stream), but nothing really came of it, so I didn’t note it down. I’ll see what I can find out for you though :slight_smile: I’ve have a few server troubles too, so it would be nice to know more >.<

#7

Yay! Finally.
However, that also means I’ll be buying even more cases than I’m doing now…

Nice round-up as usual. :slight_smile:

(HoopleDoople) #8

Any plans to simply make useless loadouts less useless? Too many augments provide such an insignificant boost that they are all but irrelevant. Another problem is weapons that are clearly winners or losers relative to the competition. I’m not sure why I’d ever want the Blishlok if another SMG was available and I’m not sure why I’d ever NOT use the M4. Finally, there is the issue of mandatory augments. For example, Fletcher with lock-on outclasses Fletcher without lock-on by a mile.

(MisterMurder) #9

@Farelth Thank you!!!

(IcySkyz) #10

multiple case opening button would be nice too in my opinion

(3N1GM4) #11

I wish I could get a useless CW loadout… that would mean I at least got one :frowning:

That’s some solid detective work :trollface: :tongue:

(Lumi) #13

So this means no changes for this one… Sucks ass.

Who’s Farelth? I only know Faraleth…

And yeah, no changes to the case drop-rate this time around I don’t link @Lumi :frowning: As much as the drop-rate sucks, I don’t think it’s fair to change those kind of things half way through an event, as much as I personally too want them changed! Because as soon as you do that, you have to deal with a bunch of customer complaints, compensation issues and all sorts… it just simply isn’t worth it. At least there’s hope for future ones though :slight_smile:

It would be possible though to change the drop cases only to have let’s say 3% instead of the 0.3. Those being some in-between rarity cases. And it could start at the 15 day mark. This way, previous buyers wouldn’t be upset, since one can’t buy droping cases, and there would be a clear delimitation during which people would have a higher chance at getting the CW loadouts. And as it would be through drops, everyone would be dependent on the RNG.

(DMaster2) #17

I would like to know about the mission refill bug and the ghost player bug, are they going to get fixed anytime soon?

(DB Genome editor) #18

If you’ve seen the HB loadout cards currently in the game files, they are already very different from the Alienware and Logitech ones since they have unique new skins for the merc models as opposed to the previous sets that used the regular Bronze Woodland skins for the mercs and only reskined the weapons.

It would nonetheless make sense if they were given as a bonus to those purchasing an upcoming Humble Bundle.

(Lumi) #19

I’m betting they’re coming with the new humble monthly. Just to make people regret to not have subscribed…

(SereneFlight) #20

They understand but won’t do anything about it for now even tho they would have time to change the drop rates.

A BUTTON TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE CASES AT ONCE IS BEING WORKED ON!!!

About time… well, I’ll sure use it when it comes out… which will probably be Q3 2016 because having an option to buy multiple equipment cases was too hard to make in the first place even tho elite cases have it.
