Closed Beta Update V43239 (20th Feb 2015)


(QuiteChilly) #21

So I never uninstalled after the previous beta, therefore I didn’t need to put a new key in. However, I received not one, but two keys. It looked as if I wasn’t able to share them with anyone, but is that the case? I’d love to let a friend in with them.

If I’m not supposed to share that’s fine too, just want to know if I can or not.

Also why did I get two keys?

Good job so far, I really noticed a strong framerate improvement on my rig. Keep up the good work :slight_smile: !

[quote=“Meat;4278”][quote=“Copper Kid;4277”]DirtyBomb appeared to me on steam again. im from south america so i cant play it. why you tease like that?
im updating right now, but for sure i cant play.

thanks for wasting my bandwidth… again.[/quote]

you know it is region locked, but you download it anyway, and then complain about it.

what did you really think you were going to be special, and could get around the region block?

You need to get a grip on the fact that SD made more than 1 licensing agreement and you will have to play on servers run by the south America publisher. Whining about it isn’t going to change things.

First : the SA licencing , axeso5, is not showing the game in their own website anymore.
Second: i didnt downloaded it, steam auto started the download while i was AFK. why authorize SA region to download a game we dont have access?
Third: DB was MIA from my gamelist just two days ago and now is there again. We, the SA players, deserve some kind of an announcement about this, a twitter post, anything, to know at least what’s going on with the game in this region, like i said in at the begining, the publisher doesnt even have DB in his game list, or any info in their website.

[quote=“Kroad;4360”][quote=“kaze;4355”]So this update nerfed the fair smgs, you put spread/recoil on it (I didn’t even have to check the patchnote to notice the change) but you buffed the shotgun’s damage? I played 5 mins, the feeling of the game is not the same anymore. No idea what was the idea behind these changes but as an avid quake/ETplayer I can tell you that:

1 - If there is competition on this game in the near future, shotgun will probably be disabled
2 - With the changes to the recoil/spread, you are now forced to use the ironsight more (which I personally dislike, it slows the game way too much)
3 - Weapon differences is good but too much variety makes the game very hard to balance (proof is you already nerfed/buffed weapons plenty of times)

I personally uninstalled.[/quote]

1- Doubt it, shotguns aren’t much more powerful than other guns. Are they more powerful in close range? Yes, as they should. But beyond very close range, you will consistently beat shotguns with any other gun if you just aim well enough.
2- Recoil doesn’t really matter, just pull down. Spread hasn’t increased that much, just ADS from long distances and hipfire from mid to close.

I feel like “shotguns do too much damage” is only a problem if your aim isn’t good enough.[/quote]

I didn’t say shotguns does too much damage, I compared the nerfs/buffs that made no sense. I see the shotgun being disabled in a promod because it could easily be abused to hold a corridor/short range way

Recoil doesn’t really matter? Right… Maybe for you, I just don’t find it skillful to learn a patern and if I would want to do so, I’d go play a Point & Click like CS:GO/BF99 or shit like that but I don’t.

I thought Dirty Bomb would reproduce a feeling of fast spaced combats. Our definitions of competitive games/playable are different, for sure. No need to argue about that but I still believe adding recoil/spread was not a good move.

A weapon being removed for what it is supposed to do ? Wait a second, is this logical ?

Shotguns are pretty balanced as they are. Their rate of fire precisely won’t let you holding small place so easily. And shotguns damage is not that high, you generally need 2 quite accurate hits to kill somebody (except -100hp mercs).

In my opinion, shotguns are the best newcomer meatgrinders there is in this game. Once people get good enough aiming skills, the story is WAY different, and has always been in the past beta releases.

@“Copper Kid” There was an announcement about this. http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/614/dirty-bomb-region-restrictions#latest Sorry for the inconvenience

Well that certainly sucks for the people in South America. Maybe they will get lucky and get a new or existing partner.


(Meat) #28

@Copper KId you should try posting in the SD forums these forums are actually for players in the Nexon serviced areas.

They should be able to give you some info as to the status of DB in South America.

I have nothing against shotguns, read my poste, I don’t care actually. I’m just pointing out that it might be considered lame and easily abused but it’s my opinion. I am more pointing out the recent changes in the buffs/nerfs that doesn’t really relate. You seem to be missing the point of my post; recoil sucks in games like Dirty Bomb.

This is a new install on new install of OS too and Steam and no Steam is the problem. It will not activate the key. It sees it as no good. There is either a problem with the key and does not say it has been used it just says something along the line of enter the correct 16 digit code. The instructions point to the key as being this code.

If its not the key or Steam its something with windows 8 ent.
