Remember, as always, unless specifically stated as confirmed, please take everything with a grain of salt.
News:
- We will receive news on the update by the end of today (3rd September, PST). Whether this will actually be the update, or just news about the delay on it, is unknown.
- The Phoenix update will be primarily new content and bug fixes. “I don’t believe there are any balance changes.”
- Report-a-player function should definitely be in the next update – but private servers might slip into the update after the Phoenix update.
- Friendly-fire servers are something that will be implemented soon. This will not be in regular public matches – but will definitely be in private servers. Based on feedback this might change.
- There are some unannounced “surprise” additions to the next update. Of course, no exact info on this.
- There is more loadout cards (like the Alienware ones) that are “ready to go” right now. However there is no ETA on when they will actually be given away/able to be used. (These may already be in the game… who knows.)
- There is some “fun community stuff coming soon”.
- REMINDER: Being kicked for a “Security Violation” is an issue with the anti-cheat crashing. This is still being looked into. (Sounds unlikely to be fixed in the next patch.)
Possible changes/updates:
- Execution has undergone plenty of changes since it was last seen. As Splash Damage said, we will likely see another “test weekend” before it is released so that people can comment on the various changes.
- Execution will have 2 maps upon release.
- Question: What is likely to come out first, Dome or Execution? – “We have an answer to that… but I can’t say.” (Please MissMurder :c </3)
- Question: Currently the BR and Stark are two of the strongest weapons in the game by far. Will we see any changes to these? – “We are always balancing things. If there’s a real issue, I’m sure we will do what the players feel is right.”
- Question: Currently, grenades and projectiles bounce off your team-mates. Will we ever see a change to this? – “It would be cool to see a change for it, but I believe it is intentional. I’m not sure.” I guess Splash Damage will have to comment on this one!
- Question: Will we get a colourblind mode soon? – No word on this being worked on (still). :c Pleeeeeeeeease Splash Damage! >.<
- No further news on a possible “trade down” or re-roll feature for cobalt cards. MissMurder said “I hope we will have it soon!”
- Question: Will we ever be able to buy credits with real money? – “No, no. Not directly. We do have credit boosters which you can buy, but we don’t plan to actually SELL credits.”
- Question: Will we ever be able to buy elite cases with credits? – “There is no plans for this, but I hope so! It would likely be quite a lot of credits though.”
- Question: Red-Eye’s smoke can be extinguished in pretty much one Nader or Fletcher grenade. Will this be improved so that it doesn’t extinguish so quickly, to such a weak explosion? – “No word on this, but it will be forwards to Splash Damage.”
Extra info:
- Guest: Radrodo – GM.
- They tried to impersonate merloc’s. It was quite amusing.
- The issue about being kicked for “security violation” and credit boosters ticking down, will be looked into. They apparently were unaware of this.
- MissMurder’s favourite movies are Lord Of The Rings.
- MissMurder does not play Pokemon… WHAT?! >.<
Enjoy… Until next time! #roundup
