9/4 0130 Update

bgyoshi · 2017-09-04 08:55:10 UTC

I dunno what update y’all just pushed since there’s no patch notes but the scoreboard text is different and bigger and melee finish hitboxes are WRECKED.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Also it’s cute how server browser and CMM changed colors.

I’ve also been killed by airstrikes while underground and some text keeps showing up in the chat boxes whenever someone switches class and it’s HORRIBLY obnoxious. You can’t type text in the game review screen at the end either, it refuses to send when you push enter

What the hell happened in this update please god rewind it and try again

Are you able to play the game without downloading the latest patch?
Also I feel like some of the UI changes weren’t meant to be in this patch, as thats why they weren’t mentioned in the patch notes.

They tried to fix melee hitboxes in the last hotfix as far as I understand. Looks like it went horrible. You might want to consider that as a massive glitch.

Ok yea FIX MELEE HITBOXES, I played Javelin with axe and was not able to hit anything, tried to gib enemy and missed 10 times, you need to crouch to finish someone with AXE, didnt try any other melee weapons but damn!

brian770 · 2017-09-04 15:01:34 UTC

i just want them to fix the STATS.

whoa dude, last time seems they seemed finally fixed melee hitboxes and i can actually bat someone right, then they screw it up again?

i thought the last patch is pretty stable!

Some people last night were saying the hitboxes were fine for them so it’s possible that only Javelin’s axe was screwed up. I was having issues with it when I was complaining.

This patch was shit. Like it’s really bad. I don’t want to know every time some dumb kid switches mercs in the CHAT BAR. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? Please, undo this. The new font hurts my eyes.

Also why are they showing enemy team switches in chat?, It would ruin the ability to do surprise attacks.

Think there pts needs expansion

brian770 · 2017-09-05 00:52:41 UTC

it went from being a battle axe to a short camp hatchet.

Nail · 2017-09-05 03:42:08 UTC

Think something broke between testing and upload

Yeah…I was crouching and after 3 or 4 swipes a medic came out of nowhere and revived them.

Yup, private should turn into public at some point.
My view is, in most pts players hands, javelin is just a less efficient fragger. In the average player hand, javelin is just a cheap kill fragger.

Honestly I don’t see the reason the PTS shouldn’t be public. Things should be tested by a variety of people, not just the 20 or so people SD randomly invited.

I really don’t understand the level of secrecy associated with DB’s development. I mean, just look at other games that actually give a roadmap of what they’re doing, make the community feel involved, they’re so much more successful. Sure, generating hype is great, but talking about what you’re working on does the same.
There’s no reason a game like this needs to be secretive, to the point of threatening to ban people in the PTS over nothing.

@STARRYSOCK at one point https://dirtybombgame.tumblr.com/ gave ua the inside look now its just another youtube like channel for there dev vids. They seem to have stopped at dockyards dev vids.

And i have a feelimg those 20 people in the pts were carefully selected to make sure there feed back would always be the feed back they want to hear not what they need to hear.
