December 1st, 2015 Hotfix Update CHANGELOG

(Jan S.) #1

So there is an official changelog already posted on SD forums, so I’ve decided to post it here too for those who don’t visit them :slight_smile:

Thunder - Concussion Grenades

  • Removed ‘cooking’ from Concussion Grenades
  • Reduced fuse time to 1.6s (from 2.0s)
  • Reduced throw-cancel cooldown cost to 4s (from 8s)
  • Increased movement stun radius to 368u (from 240u)
  • Looking away from Concussion Grenades now dramatically reduces the duration of the blinding effect
  • Team-mates now receive a much shorter blinding-effect when Friendly Fire is Off
  • The duration of the blinding effect now correctly scales down over distance
  • The severity of the movement stun effect now correctly scales down over distance
  • The movement stun effect now gradually recovers over time
  • Removed the mouse sensitivity reduction from the stun effect
  • Dynamic objects like Secondary Objective doors now correctly block effects

Neat. Ty :smiley:

(Faraleth) #3

Whelp, you actually beat me to it as I had it ready to go… lol

(LifeupOmega) #4

Removed the mouse sensitivity reduction from the stun effect

THANK. GOD.

(titaniumCrouton) #5

First this…next the dev stream round ups…O_o you’ve got competition.

There was a way to cheat the stun effect. If your mouse had access to a sniper button you could boot up the DPI so you would at least have some sort of better aim. Surprised a lot of Thunders with that trick XD

This literally made anyone affected unable to do shit all.

Wow, I thought that was a feature, not a bug :slight_smile:

Again? SD, you are such teasers…

(SteelMailbox) #9

I beat you on the thunder merc role call and announcement and you just made your thread the superior one.
I am still salty cause of it…

EDIT: You got 7 likes for that! 7! WTF! I need 7 likes not you. :’(

I really do question why our forums are even a thing, especially pitched as the “official” forum, when the SD/Warchest forum is so much better for interaction with the people actually making the game. Case and point, the patch notes getting posted and already having a bunch of replies about the changes to Thunder, including a reply from Smooth assuring people that they’ll be monitoring the changes once they’re live. I mean… that’s a touch that this forum could really use at times - but it’s silly to have to dupe/cross-post.

The only reason I even stuck around here and kept posting is because I decided I like you guys before I realised what was going on. Now I’m just a serial lurker over there.

Anyhow! Interesting changes, will see how they play out in a bit!

Removed ‘cooking’ from Concussion Grenades

… Did somebody ask for this? Seriously.

Funny thing, SD forums were the ones publishing changelogs late few weeks back. Seems like they switched sides.
Jokes aside, I agree. It isn’t the first time this happened.

(triteCherry) #14

7 meters? That’s pretty damn big.

(extraordinaryEmperor) #15

They should really reduce the actual grenade’s CD instead to maybe 12sec. Removing aim sensitivity just means I’d still rather use a fragger nade than the concussion nade. Movement reduction doesn’t mean too much if an enemy can still easily fight back.

(Drcipres) #16

You might have super powers to efectively get an ace with a white screen

Must keep watching

I’ve been stunned without a white screen before,like COD4’s stun grenade, I could have easily killed an enemy medic who had just run in if I did not have reduced aim speed. And if you have a white screen, what difference does having a decreased aim speed have?
