it would be nice if you guys would start making public what you are currently working on, in the game, instead of just this blanket of nothingness coming out of you guys its only further helping to move the player base onto other games because there is no information about whats getting fixed, or about SDK or about DLC… even if it doesnt include dates any info at all is better than nothing

Well, there are upsides and downsides to that approach. We generally only release fix lists when those items have been implemented and passed verification by Bethesda’s testing department. If we just threw everything out there that we’re looking at, we’d risk promising things that may not actually end up in the update.

As frustrating as this current approach may be, that particular situation would be even worse for you guys (and that’s not even touching on the potential amount of misinformation and false expectations that goes hand in hand with that).

considering how much you guys promised pre-release and all the things you said would be in the game and all these features and numerous other things and where never in the game, at first with alot of things you guys were saying about the game i was like wow they actually learnt from their mistakes in ETQW, then the game gets released and it looks like you didnt learn from any of those mistakes at all… extremely disappointing considering you were touting it as if it was the next big competitive title

to say i felt extremely let down is an understatement, perhaps some of the blame should be put on Bethesda’s shoulders though, if they rushed you or not to speed up the release is anyones guess… but considering you did bring the release forward a week implying the game was polished then to get released the way it did…

edit: and as for Bethesdas testing department perhaps you guys should bin them considering the poor effort they put into testing Brink for PC

so you are considering removing the particles entirely from sec tower then? and all the other crap that destroys the fps on the map l0l

I totally agree with this, Im using Nvidia and in Sec Tower my fps is freaking horrible whenever the particles are present. Why do we have to keep them on as they kill our fps? unfair advantage for users without em?

Brink is just incredibly unoptimized, thats all I can say.

the sad thing is they dont add anything to the map other than being annoying and destroying fps apparently, they have no use at all

Yeh generally this happens when you state that Brink has as much tactical depth as etqw, in an interview.

IMO…this game shouldn’t be running as poorly as it is… there is no valid reason to lock the graphic tweaks that we’re all use to in this engine… modified or not. I could run any idtech4 game at max better than I can Brink on low and it’s not like Brink looks remotely good on low other than the actual art.

In the end smooth gameplay > graphics. It’s simple… unlock them and put it in the patch notes and everyone knows. Besides it’s not like you cant ask anybody who put in any time into quake what picmip did…word quickly gets around for performance tweaks.

Please do whatever you can to bring back the player base that played etqw or any game for that matter.
