[QUOTE=DarkangelUK;511670]Can’t find any anywhere! I found the screenshot below from Hannes QW movie, it uses jitter to capture the scene. It looks great.

I always hoped that we’d get a full length of that little clip. Was always a trailer to me :frowning:

CamTrace for ETQW was very good as well, I wrote a user guide for Hannes to put on his website.

Actually come to think of it I remember reading that guide… not to make any movies though, just out of curiosity.
I downloaded camtrace back then as well just to play around… i dont remember how that went, it was probably a futile attempt. : D


(Humate) #103

soz anti for the offtopic post…
This is basically my first attempt at camming DA…

u need to set it as unlisted not private


(spookify) #105

Next Week is 3 weeks from an update!

We have a big one coming out? Or a game play polish? What we got bring me back! Movement, Jump Balance, performance, animation— ANYTHING!

The servers are desperately empty … it’s a sign.


(xdc) #107

hopefully next update includes all mercs (aimee, Sparks, phantom, kira … etc ) map tweaks, and merc tweaks, otherwise empty servers again. minus well xp reset while they are at it

Dear level designers,

Could you stop putting 3 MGs on the same chokepoint ?

Best Regards,
Bored Raste


(tokamak) #109

“Welcome to a new developer diary. We’ve been running Echo on Whitechapel for weeks and after the glaring red spot on the heatmap caused by the three mg’s aimed at a single choke burned out the pixels in our screen we decided to do something about it”


(RasteRayzeR) #110

If only…

I mean it’s so damn simple to rectify this situation: remove MG next to the car, make the bridge to the top MG a construction and remove the attacker MG, replace with actual cover.


(Glottis-3D) #111

lol no monthes-long echo is needed to see that mg fail.


(tokamak) #112

Well to be fair, that point could be a really interesting engagement. I wouldn’t like to see it smoothed out. It’s just that the attackers need a better way to secure a vantage point over that area.


(spookify) #113

No news is good news? SD working hard to pump out a major update?

The low population isn’t great for those of us looking to quickly find games, that’s for sure.
However, it is to be expected when there hasn’t been a large scale key release for over 3 months. As has been mentioned before, we’ve got a list of functionality that we want to get in place before inviting larger swathes of the community into the CB.

We hugely appreciate those of you who continue to help test DB in the meantime. I look forward to getting pummelled by you lot whenever I manage to get time to play at lunch or in the evening (should hopefully be getting cable internet installed soon, so you’ll see more of me in-game later in the day :)).

to be honest, i often find myself asking what i am supposed to test. (beside from german localization :stuck_out_tongue: )

  1. Open Feedback thread
  2. Patch comes
  3. Open the same Feedback thread again.

This is what I see in the forums ^^

Have you not even considered closing down the closed alpha and only opening at set times?
I am in a number of other Alphas and Betas that do this with much lower number of players that manage to remain active…

Saying that most other games are being patched every couple of day and according to their developers we are on the same build as what they are. Makes it more interesting than this “semi released” structure we have going on in here. Was in a game the other day with the devs and they found a bug/exploit in the map. They closed down the server and patched it there and then (took around 3 hours) and we was back playing with the bug fixed.

Yea, I am frustrated…
The more poor patches I see with more bugs than fixes and silly design choices that break things to the next patch, I have really started wondering why we do not have access to a broken dev build if we want it?

People like me would run around empty maps for hours each week and play with a couple of other people from time to time. Even if it is “unplayable” some of us in here can see past that and actually provide valuable feedback. Even if it was just brought up to the current dev build once a week.

I don’t know guys… I have just started recording for my “top 10 most anticipated PC games of 2015” and during this time I have looked and played lots of the games on the lists and it really starts to hit home how dated DB is going to look this time next year. I honestly want you guys to smash it out of the park. After all the talk we had about communication we had recently, it would be nice if it actually started to happen. It would not surpise me if you guys regretted letting anyone play the game already and that you wish we would just all leave and let you get on with it. If that is the case just tell us…

Whilst Dirty Bomb is one of my most anticipated games going forward. I would be lying if I said anything other than its got to be one of the worst handled Beta/Alphas I am currently part of.

Don’t really know why I bother -.- lol

Will be nice to see you in-game and pubbing it up. I will be back next patch. :smiley:

Silvanoshi, you know what would be really cool is a short 1 or 2 minute YouTube video of you going around the office and describing or partially showing how DB is being made…

Example:
Like over here Anti and tweaking the something something
or
Right now we are heading out with Smooth so shoot some guns and get some audio or ROF.
or
Some dude is tweaking a part of a map
or
Some dude is eatting one of the 1000 cakes you seem to have floating around
or
Here’s Toomic carving a pumpkin…

:cool:

We havent seen a video update in forever… We are just sitting here with 1000 ideas going through our heads and sometime flaming/trolling because we really dont have anything better to do… Updates, put us to work or shock and awe us :wink:
