Any reason why the update PC and show more support for it than consoles?

[ZionDelhamorte]

I cant wrap my head around it…PC just gets further and further out there while the consoles are dieing…players leaving everyday and with the boredom and issues im getting after leveling characters for the “i lost count time” Im about ready to join them…

I see what badman is saying but all im seing is were getting stuff pc will have already had…We cant even seem to get any kind of attention on the consoles for competetive play or for brink tv lol but seriously what is going on? Should i sell my copy and count my losses or keep hoping for a brighter day?

Have you been here since day one? It has been nothing but PC players complaining about the opposite! Wow! Hang in there. The DLC seems to be imminent. We have stat site and PC players don’t! Be patient! Everybody is waiting for stuff like new weapons and maps. PC weapon tweaks don’t have to pass through MS certification, like the ones for console. Hence the delay on that!

Well, the major overhaul/update is coming with the DLC so hopefully by the end of the month (or sooner) we will get the major fixes that the PC got. As for the stat site, Id be happier about it if I could actually log into it. I don’t even have a code for it.

You do realize that competitive support on PC has been so incredibly dire that the scene already died out, right?

Fire up Brink. Scroll down to near the bottom of the menu. You will see “Downloadable Content” or some blinking marker. Click on that. It will give you a code. Go to the stat site and follow the direction for putting in the code. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply and i know we have stat site and all but it needs to be fixed… alot of the stuff i have done was not there or incorrect.would have liked that time to go into making the game better for all… Im patient thats why i just joined this forum today and never said anything until now lmao. Im just waiting for improved weapon stats. tired of getting blown away as light body type…we have worst weps and no defense lol. Running on the wall dont save you from a heavy chaingun ot a mediums AR or undersling giving instant grenade blast…oh well…if i could find more to play it with i would keep the game but ps3 is falling apart

Yeah Steam gets stuff out faster. SONY and MS make every update go through some troubleshooting process. That’s why PC players get the update first.

Also most PC players will argue that BRINK is a port to PC from console. If they feel that way maybe SD should be giving them updates FIRST. I’m an xbox guy but if STEAM isn’t retarded like the console services why should PC players have to suffer? The DLC is ready for them already but because of people complaining about the very thing you’re complaining about they won’t get it til we get it so give it a rest.

Whaaaaaaat? OMG! Are you serious? Now I know you must be yanking my chain! LOL! Epic!

Is this a console thing? Cause on PC light body is the most deadly body type. SMGs and Sniper rifles are FAR better then ARs and Chainguns.

PC - create an update, release it
Console - create an update, submit to Sony/MS for clearance, need to wait for them before it can be released. If they deem it not fit for release, make changes, resubmit… rinse/repeat until it’s good to go.

It’s not difficult to understand.

Hold up…Who the hell are you again?? I come here and ask a few questions about what i see going on and you jump on me like one of these troll jerks roaming the forums complaining just to complain. I came here seeking answers since they seem to have given up on The Official Site now…

So we can either discuss this as the forum should be or you can come at me like that again and we can do this…

I understand that all too well.Not an idiot…just curious and it seems so many people are fired up from yelling at trolls you can’t ask anything without them acting like an azz

Sorry then I’m not understanding the point of your question. You know why PC get the updates quicker than console, but you’re asking why the PC get the updates quicker than console? Do you feel that updates should be held back for PC to make it fair for everyone? SD are at the mercy of Sony and MS, they can only release as fast as they allow them. Please clarify the point you’re trying to make.

No. If he thinks lights are weak, he’s doin it wrong.

Ty for being a sane individual. I mean i understand why but i mean there are 2 consoles and one pc… i just figured more people would play on 2 systems over 1 but maybe im stupid for that assumption.Since they seem to follow the pc so much with things like brink tv why not do things like that for console? send out console specific updates for us as well since we need them too. Was just thinking if what we all think is true on updates being released did they send out that update pc got for heavies already for the consoles and we just got it held back until they released agents of change? Im just asking questions because i have been out of the community loop for a while.

sorry for double post but no i don’t think they are weak just think they could use some stat improvements. cant take much on the damage side of things and thats what you need when the heavy fire fights start. and we cant swap to a med or heavy on the fly:penguin:

Also we may run a bit faster but when someone knows how to aim you cant outrun a bullet…

Just for clarification, Brink.tv isn’t an official service, it’s fans of Brink that created this and run purely by them, SD and Bethesda have nothing to do with this.

It’s a reasonable assumption that both consoles have more players than the PC, but again PC updates are far easier to implement and far quicker to release. I have no idea if all 3 are worked on at the same time or individually, but I’m guessing there’s so much that can all be done at once, then small subsequent coding required for each platform. I have no idea if there’s a rule for how many submissions can be made for one game at Sony/MS, so it had to be coupled with the DLC. I don’t believe the consoles were left behind while the patches were being made, I do believe it’s the submission process holding it all back.
