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 currently in “final checks”, so we could possibly see it as early as tomorrow. No confirmed ETA currently though – but it will definitely be this week.
- Going forward they will try and be more transparent with information, due to the recent feedback from various Reddit posts concerning this matter.
- There are more plans for other maps, past Dome’s release.
- “We plan to introduce new game-modes.” – This sounded plural. Possibly we could see other game-modes in the future, past Execution’s release? (Note: Not confirmed, and may just be a slip of the tongue, but it’s certainly note-worthy)
- The new streaming schedule is: Monday & Wednesday 11am PDT/6pm UTC, and Friday 4pm PST/11pm UTC. It will always be on the DirtyBomb channel.
- There are reports of Mumble crosshairs interfering with the NGS anti-cheat, however this varies on a user-to-user basis. Some are reporting it as an issue, while others say it runs fine. Current advice: If you use a Mumble crosshair overlay and notice an NGS kick increase, stop using it.
Possible changes/updates:
- Casual PARTY match-making is being worked on currently. No ETA for release, but it’s definitely in the near-future pipeline.
- UI optimisation is coming in the next update.
- Matchmaking changes are also coming in. (Likely in the next update too)
- There will be some “nice little tweaks to Proxy coming soon”.
- The Proxy bug where you can throw multiple proxy mines at once won’t be fixed in this update, but likely in the next one.
- Question: Can we get some more mercs with the Timik, please? – “We can do that. We can definitely do that…” Shoe had a smug grin on his face when he said this. (Possible Stoker, soon?)
- The spectator bug from Execution that shows the ability UI on screen is on the “fix list” for the next iteration of Execution.
- Question: Could we get a visual/audio indicator for medics that don’t use revives, or Skyhammer’s don’t throw ammo, etc? – “I like the idea for that. I’ll note it down.”
- There are currently a few people working specifically on optimisation for the game, due to it being a key issue.
Extra info:

- Shoe would get a tomtato plant for his desk… Apparently it is a legitimate plant that grows potato’s for a root, and tomato’s on the vines. To Google…
- Avril Lavigne may have been killed off and replaced with an actress. The things you learn on Shoe’s dev streams…
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

EDIT: Wow, I missed out the word “party” on one of the points. It’s amended and correct now. Whoops!
