8th September Nexon Stream Round-Up

(Faraleth) #1

Remember, as always, unless specifically stated as confirmed, please take everything with a grain of salt.

News:

  • Confirmed: Next update (the Phoenix update) we will have a feature to “inspect” weapons in first-person view. – Some of the skins from the weapon trailer looked new too.
  • There were some easter-eggs in the “inspect weapon” trailer. UPDATE: Apparently no easter eggs.
  • It looked like Stoker’s gloves were shown in the trailer – like the one’s Shoe showed before a couple of weeks ago on the Splash Damage stream. This wasn’t completely certain. UPDATE: Image removed. Likely Skyhammer’s gloves.
  • Inspect weapon trailer will be up on social media (YouTube) today!
  • Confirmed: Definitely NO balance changes in the next update.
  • Still NO confirmed or exact date for Phoenix’s release. However, we can expect him “definitely THIS week”.
  • MissMurder hinted heavily that private matches are to be expected for the next update. Likely the extra time has allowed them to squeeze them in. :smiley:
  • Due to the delay with the Phoenix update, the entire schedule has been pushed back a week. (For example, the next “fine tuning” update was due around the 15th-17th, however due to the delay it will now be a week later.)
    [quote=“MissMurder;78563”]This just in… Fine Tuning may still be on schedule BUT this is not a promise! Just wanted to correct myself since I said “definitely not” on the stream. [/quote]
  • The “Don’t Be A D*ck” contest rules have changed. (The minimum time for a video is now 15 seconds) There will now be 10 winners – 5 winners from a pool of people who make videos OVER 1 minute, and 5 winners from a pool of people who make a video 15-59 seconds long.
  • Execution will have another test weekend before release – however Dome will not. (Possibly, we will see Dome before Execution?)

Possible changes/updates:

  • In the future, mercs with special weapons (such as the Minigun and Grenade Launcher) will have skins that work for those weapons too.
  • Servers “scale due to population needs” and this may explain the apparent disappearing South American servers. If there is a need for more servers, they will be added again.
  • They have NO plans to ever add controller support to the game again.
  • They are ALWAYS working on optimisation fixes – so whether there will be any optimisation fixes in the next update, is unconfirmed.
  • NO plans to lower aim-punch any further.
  • There are new skins ready to go, right now. They are completed and ready to be used, or implemented for promotions or regular skins. No news on how they will be used.
  • Likely no new weapons for mercs “soon”, however there will be in the near-future.

Extra info:

  • Guest: Tekonos – ?? (It was his final stream today).
  • While they only ship the Don’t Be A Dck shirts to NA for the giveaways on stream, the Don’t Be A Dck competition, they can ship world-wide.
  • They may begin a once-a-month stream for Australia on a Friday, which will be at a more appropriate time for Australia.

Enjoy… Until next time! #roundup

Aim punch should just be a visual thing…what is so hard about that?

(Amerika) #3

You mean a grain of Tekonos? Kappa

(watsyurdeal) #4

Getting real tired of your shit Amerika

(LifeupOmega) #5

I’m so glad I asked about the ability skins. Hype for Cobalt Nade Launcher!

(Lissxy) #6

The new update seems nice and I’m super excited for new skins aaaaah.

(Resine) #7

If only we could get rid of the aim-punch… Make all of it gone, i would literally love this game much more.

(Jan S.) #8

No plans doesnt mean never. I think they will return to it eventually in the future :slight_smile:

(Amerika) #9

Is somebody who isn’t you on your account @Watsyurdeal?

(watsyurdeal) #10

Nope, just getting real tired of your puns :smiley:

(Faraleth) #11

Could we stay on topic and keep social opinions to yourself, or deal with them outside of my thread? Thanks.

Regardless - made a couple of updates to the post. Apparently I got a few things wrong in the original post, mainly regarding the new “inspect weapon” trailer. Whoops.

(Jan S.) #12

Is it only me or nexon streams are having more interesting stuff compared to dev streams lately?

(Runeforce) #13

Heh, speculation, speculation! Love it!
I’m actually impressed that the patch notes, which has been available to the VIP’s for over a week (which is unusual, normal it’s announced a day before, under NDA,) have not been leaked yet.

(watsyurdeal) #14

They probably have a lot more to show

From what I can tell it seems like they’ve spent a lot of time testing and scrapping a lot of ideas and are only now starting to solidify their vision of the perfect shooter.

For the most part, I agree, but there’s still some things to be worked on to make it perfect.

Predictable recoil patterns, visual only aimpunch, map balancing, merc balancing, there’s certain things that need to be looked at to make the game fun to play in a serious setting.

Another fantastic round-up! Thank you once again for your invaluable service to the comminity @Faraleth! Very excited for Phoenix and private matches will be a blessing if they come out along with him; weapon inspection is… neat, but I doubt I’ll ever use it(Not a streamer). All in all some very insightful information as usual!! <3

My grenaten needs more Hello Kitty.

(Amerika) #17

Haha, fair enough. It was a lame attempt at a joke from a specific part of the stream that most everyone won’t get.

I was just wondering since your last few posts consisted of a couple of words + expletive and I was all, “that really doesn’t sound like him…he’s usually quite a bit more articulate” :slight_smile:

(watsyurdeal) #18

I’m pretty random, my friends have a hard time predicting what I’ll say.

Plus, I’m at work and bored, makes me grouchy.

Inspecting weapons? Obligatory Dirty Bomb:GO comment. But I really can’t wait for this, the weapon models are so cool and stuff.

And no balance changes at all? Unusual. Would’ve expected at least something.

And what’s happening to Tekonos? R.I.P?

As far as I’ve seen, Competitive mode is pretty well balanced. Could use a few tweaks but nothing major nor urgent.

Just note that the game is made for 5v5.
