It feels a little like Quake Wars all over again. Lots of things not addressed that they said would be addressed. Sadly (for QW), those things came around 4-5 months after release when the competitive community had dwindled away to nothing (compared to the amount of teams in beta/at launch).

Ongoing service = Many major and minor things won’t be addressed at release but might be addressed down the road.

Panic!

We often have dates in mind that we’re aiming for but don’t commit to them because we know there are outstanding issues that could derail them. Many times they do get derailed, sometimes things fall into place bang on schedule, other times things actually come in quicker than expected. Regardless there is always a point we eventually get to where we can commit to stuff reliably, until we hit those points we don’t, we just plan with it in mind.

That goes for patches, features, development, announcements, anything really.

I understand that. But what I dont understand is, that yesterday badman posted that you aim for october for CBT. Today, you say it starts october 1st. Why dont tell us yesterday already?

Anyways, it’s a useless discussion, let’s hope for the best.

Yeah I am really suprised that game companies still run alpha/betas even if they are pay to get in. I feel like sometimes the community backlash can be so much that it’s almost like “whats the point?”

(FireWater) #106

I actually agree with TB on the players being a bit spongy. I felt that was a major problem with brink is that you would unload a mag on to somebody and their health drops to around 60%.

I think that body shots should be increased but not to the point where it makes headshots not worth it. That might mean maybe headshots need an increase as well.

Publisher makes these announcements not the developer

(Protekt1) #108

Not necessarily… every publisher + developer relationship is different.

(Nail) #109

in this (and most) case(s) it’s the way, they’re hosting the Beta and Launch servers, plus supplying the transaction backend, it’s kinda their game now, they’ll do the announcing methinks

Please clarify, you want body shot damage to increase?

(Nail) #111

“That might mean maybe headshots need an increase as well.”

beyond 1 shot = kill ?

So as per scrim organisation, from the examples, only really 2 ‘comp’ fps games have it and one of them is apparently terrible at doing the job… I don’t really think having built in scrim management is as important as is being made out and more than likely clans still do it the old fashioned way via direct communication instead of relying on an in-game system to hopefully match them up with a similar skilled team on the same side of the planet.

(jRAD) #113

Because the final decision was made today? :slight_smile:

(.FROST.) #114

Maybe I’ve missed something, but I haven’t really got why it’s so important for some people to know in advance when XT is going CB. Really, no sarcasm, I just don’t get it.
As for me, I’m genuinely looking forward to it. CB = more peeps = more fun; but maybe not, maybe MP stands for “Minimum amount of Players”

(rennagade) #115

Two weeks to CB, eh?

Hopefully the switch goes well… Nexon players are not known for their courtesy or patience.

Also just got an email from Nexon specifically stating October 1st, so…

[QUOTE=prophett;471127]The game isn’t fun for me in it’s current state.

There is that 1 in 20 ‘magical’ round that is fun, but other than that I usually lose interest after 2-3 rounds. It needs a lot of work to capture my attention long term.[/QUOTE]

Can you go more in dept on why? Or link me to a post that gives your feedback onto why?

If it weren’t for the people posting the news on the forums I wouldn’t even know about it! While it’s not that important it’s just funny that we’re “so close” to the source, but still get information from a third party.

(acutepuppy) #118

It would be nice to see some good patch notes.

VoIP by OBT, I hope…

Some invites would be awesome.

(.FROST.) #119

Lol, that’s basically the exact same I said about their “screenshot policy”:wink: But even though stuff like that is really a bit strange, the reactions in this regard are not least as strange.

i simply think that many players will leave if they have to play the current game .people take a look maybe they dont like it or the first 2 maps they play and leave.there is so much missing . but maybe the next patcj will be great idk we are at the right road since last patch :slight_smile:
