@chicHouse
Where are you from? I can tell you what time to expect it.

(chicHouse) #22

im from europe. not london. I think majority of players are europeans so why we dont have european time zone? its called CET. btw thanks, i googled it:)

ps. i think adding Berlin time would help lots of players.

(Mister__Wiggles) #23

Isn’t the time difference from Germany to the UK like one or two hours? I know the time zones in the US in relation to the UK so not that difficult to remember the difference bro. I will admit there should be another time though because Europe is pretty large continent with alot of countries so It can be hard to know what a certain time is for you.

(chicHouse) #24

I agree. Look, UK time use only 2 countries, UK and Ireland. Rest of the europe use central european time and thats over 22 countries. +1 hour (and this vary depending on summer/winter time ohh man I wish one global time only). Like today lots of players were confused, are the servers up? shouldn be they down this hour? Its confusing.

(GuiGuiiii) #25

UK time is for portugal too =) (I’m not portugese, but just to let you know)

Best patch so far. Also, AC.

@MissMurder
Best. Patch. Ever.

(Lumi) #29

Some good stuff, but I still don’t get why Nader and Rhino got some buffs? They already unbalance a game and easily hit the top of the table! Ridiculous…

(Reddeadcap) #30

This Patch is beautiful! Thank you Splash Damage.

Rhino is the slowest merc and a 10hp buff isn’t a great deal. Nader also got a speed nerf, again not a big nerf but still a good balancing choice. Bring them inline with fragger. Nader is quicker than fragger but less health and rhino is slower with more health. Pretty fair balancing.

(Reddeadcap) #32

Rhino’s movement speed in general was rather bad, maybe a small buff will make him less health station dependent, as for Nader as @Mister__Wiggles said, she got 10 more health and 10 less speed.

(the_true_joz) #33

Yeah, rhino was really slow, in start of match, all other mercs easely outrun him, and you usually end up arriving to positions when enemies are already waiting. That speed buff for him was sorely needed.
Also, a question, when is general chat (ie. in Main Menu of game) going to be introduced, if at all?

Before this patch and still now I believe that Rhino’s speed should be lower. One can’t be a steel wall that stops everyone from passing and still switch areas on the fly. Already before Rhino was way too mobile and now it’s just going to be worse.

Regarding Nader I don’t believe that with the high amount of DPS she has, she shouldn’t have that much resistance.

These changes just make me see what ends up happening with every work in progress game I’ve fell in love with. So much that I didn’t get a chance to get excited about the new AC system. DB is just going the road of the masses. It needs to be easy to kill and let’s remove all frustration for the newbie.

Oh your Rhino that has unlimited bullets with a cone of fire that almost instantly obliterates everyone without aiming is too slow? Here you go: more speed.

Oh your Nader which deals grenade damage proficiently and with little aim is too weak and gets killed to fast by experienced fraggers? Here you go: more health.

And all the aimpunch and recoil reduction just goes towards the same direction: to make the game easy. And to me, easy is synonym of boring, challenge-less.

Just like I don’t feel Sparks needed a buff as I managed to do quite well with her. Everything is heading to a lower skill cap and that sucks to me.

You people be happy for now. But don’t come crying later that Rhino and Nader are overpowered when I kick your ass with it. Now better and easier than before.

(MAOCUBO) #35

give this guy a cookie, this is exactly how i feel about the game, i loved the skill that was involved to play it, now you guys are just make it simpler to play, for whom? to the new noobs that will arise in this game? because of the easy handle weapons, no recoil, no spread so basically no aim require and OP mercs like nader and rhino receiving buffs turning them even more OP.

plz don’t become like star conflict, a game that in the beginning require skill to play and with the “fine tuning”, as you can also call it “fine noobing” destroyed the game completely!!! don’t became like this, the game was great before the update with still much to improve, but it is in a beta, so it ok and expected that there is a lot to improve, but pls don’t make it a game for noobs, this game goal should allways be about the skill. you still have time to take a step back and make a great FPS game that the gaming community needs and appreciate
