Brink PC Feedback

(tokamak) #201

‘The apologetic map pack’ would be a great name. I’m serious, people would appreciate such personal relation to the developer.

(legend123) #202

Perhaps. But I think its better for the person to decide than the server owner.
For example allow some option that lets you disable it in game.
The one or two commands that are there atm arent good enough.

[QUOTE=legend123;324739]Oh god so I have been looking at the PC numbers for this game…

First 3 days (NA release) 10,000 people peak
EU release 17,000 peak
then 9,000
then 6,000
last few days 5,000
today 4,500

Now I know some of you think with improvements the population will somehow magically increase
but I am having my doubts. Sure a few may rejoin but it wont be nothing on the big scale.

Im really hoping some of these issues mentioned in this thread get fixed asap.[/QUOTE]

Some won’t like it after trying it, that’s natural, happens for all games. Lots of people play a game when it comes out, then after that they still play but not every day. Those numbers aren’t necessarily a sign of “75% of those who liked Brink are disgruntled and gone”.

(tokamak) #204

Indeed, people could just start to play less frequent rather than not at all.

Also, only a marginal percentage of gamers purchase in the first month after release, maybe even less nowadays.

So looking at the first month of server stats doesn’t paint the full picture.

I have a feeling this game will become more popular overtime.

Where did you get this wisdom?

(AnthonyDa) #207

ET:QW server browser : Only bots enable and/or minimum players filters weren’t saved.

BRINK : Nothing is saved!

Add a sound for when you trip a mine. I feel I just randomly die when I trip a mine.

I would also like a different sound for when I get hit by a grenade from a launcher. Hey, it’s cool that I died from a grenade launcher, I just want to know why I died. Usually I just end up on the ground in 1 shot and I’m thinking WTF?

(tokamak) #209

An on-screen indicator, like a quick desaturation of the screen as you realise in horror that you’re standing on a mine would be good as well.

lol the mines actually beep… but its subtle

(MorsTua) #211

my opinion?

i will uninstall it soon cause the game is not fun at all.
too many bugs, shaky game, unplayable
Doesnt need patches, it needs a miracle.

SD should stay in the modding area.
Actually, coding doesn’t seem their job.

30 euros wasted

(xTriXxy) #212

best update for brink is to uninstall it.

(TONSCHUH) #213

[QUOTE=kozzy;323860]Im personally loving the game, even more since the latest patch (:

Thanks Splash Damage for releasing a good team oriented objective game!
Hope to see some new levels and an editor for pc version at some point!
keep up the good work, this game is a breath of fresh air in a stale genre.[/QUOTE]

… I agree … it’s not a bad game … :wink:

:stroggtapir:

(Herandar) #214

Change of heart, huh? How’s your forum working out?

(light_sh4v0r) #215

Do keep this on topic please, it’s a sticky and I’d rather keep it that way.

(xdc) #216

Skip movies after objectives, & before/after game: the movie clips only get in the way for teamplay, or from chatting with other players, you should atleast be able to chat while movie clip is being played. Servers should have the option to permanently skip all movies

End game scoreboard with chatbox: After level 20 players its useless to see your XP bar. You should’t have to navigate to chat to talk, it should never be disabled, and should just be at the end of the interface at the end game limbo menu, so players can talk to each other better, etc

customizations/cvars:
this one is a biggie, i already mentioned it before, doesn’t need explaining, their are endless possibilities for cvars, and customizations

Other:
You killed messages
hitbeeps/headshot beep
cg_gunxyz (left,middle,right)
first person spec
specs shouldnt take up a slot, or allow spec slots
server filter for no-bots

(Ark_peasant) #217

Hm, just one question :

What is the opinion of Splash Damage on these reported problems/requests ?

Where is Splash Damage ?

What are they doing right now ?

Drinking cocktails at the poolside ?

I would love to see a stickied topic from badman (Community Relations Manager) or Crispy (Lead Production Tester) on what SD is working on right now.

By “working on”, I mean “it’s going to be fixed in the next (or the next next) update, or in the next 6 months”.

=> We’re all building castles in the air, fighting each others, but we still don’t know what SD is doing.

We really need a list like this :
“[ul][li] Network latency improvement - under investigation[/li][li] Carb-9 nerf - testing new stats, fix going live soon[/li][li] Objective-wheel improvement - testing new prototypes, no release date planned[/li][li] Manual voice chat - not planned (at least for this month)[/li][li] Demo recording - beta feature coming soon, no release date confirmed[/li][li] Better server browser - more filters planned in the next 3 months, still sorting out bugs[/li]=> Hang on fellow players, we’re working on it ! :wink:[/ul]”

A) We understand SD can’t promise something they may have to delay or cancel later.

B) We understand SD can’t say when a feature/fix will be ready.

However we still need some feedback regarding our feedback, this is a two-way communication.

Are we talking to a dead puppet, or the real developers ?

(Herandar) #218

Since when? This is Splash Damage’s forum, not “Direct Discussion with Splash Damage”.

If you think that they aren’t working on the game, you need to have your head examined.

If you think that they aren’t working on the game, you need to have your head examined.[/QUOTE]This is NOT “Direct Discussion”, this is communicating with Splash Damage through Crispy or badman (like I said earlier).

Crispy or badman needs to put on some shoes, go to the studio in Bromley, and communicate a list of concerns/requests/problems to the devteam.
And come again the next day for the latest estimation and priorities.
And sum it up for us, the users (and customers).

=> We need to know what’s going to be fixed soon, and what is NOT going to be fixed soon.

Of course they’re working, my question is working on WHAT ?

Game design tweaking (like weapon nerfing or manual voice command) may NEVER appear simply because SD doesn’t want to add them ever/now (or think there is more important things to do, like new maps/weapons/abilities/etc).

What’s the point in asking for such features if they ALREADY DECIDED to not add them ??

They don’t say anything, and we’re all repeating the same things over and over again, because we simply don’t and CAN’T know if SD heard the message or not, and what they think of it.

=> You really want thousands of players posting the same “F system is buggy”, “too much lag…” and “still crashing” posts ??
If SD tells us “we’re working on THAT problem”, we can sit and wait for a week or two for updates on THAT problem.
