(Kekler) #1

EVERYTHING THEY TOLD SO FAR SUMMARISED
Training parcour (Assault Course):

[center]-tailored for skyhammer

  • teaches aiming, trickjumping and droping ammo
  • punishes crouchind and aiming downsightes
  • parcours for other mercs/specific loadouts planned
  • timed
  • seems fairly easy
  • you recieve a rating as feedback (bronze, silver, gold, cobalt)
    [/center]
    Fletcher changes:

[center]-reduced AoE damage on stickies

  • buffed damage for stucks with stickies
    => skillfull Fletcher players get rewarded, spammers punished, great change imo[/center]

Public Matchmaking:

[center]-smaller serverbrowser

  • maybe longer loading times for skilled players
  • more balanced matches => more credits(?)
  • less quiters[/center]

Arsenal Cases:

[center]- dropped for level ups

  • you get a closed one when leveling up and can unlock it when you reach the next level
  • contains stuff from credit boosters, several standard cases, expert case or even elit cases[/center]

Case a day may:

[center]- “new smaller” event WHOOP WHOOP

  • everyday in may you get a combined expert case for logging in
  • combined elite case (combines all mercs in one pool, basically an “expert standard case”)[/center]

favourite loadouts:

[center]

  • you can set favourite loadouts for faster loadout picking
  • blocks them for accidental trade ups[/center]

already knownn Thunder and Phantom changes
(Edit: Update will also include the already known 2nd Generation Loadoutcards)

-reduced AoE damage on stickies

  • buffed damage for stucks with stickies

Those changes will trigger much more whine from non-Fletcher users than the current state of Fletcher, I’m calling it.

Oh. My. God. If skilled players experience longer loading times then this forum will go up in flames. I personally only have a 430 SPM (100 in game hours ago it was 300 though), but higher skilled players will tear this apart on this website. Again, this could be no big deal, this could be minor, and I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but if this turns out to be an issue, it’s gonna get ugly.

I can’t watch the VoD until I get home in a couple of hours, and I don’t know what “smaller server browser” means, but I still plan to use that. I’m glad they’re not removing it, and I feel better about CMM now.

Everything else sounds great.

Level cases not retroactive confirmed. Sigh.

I really do like the changes for Fletcher, more or less solves my issues with him depending on how much damage is lost from a non stick.

Makes perfect sense to me

Also, Public Matchmaking is a God damn joke…like all I could think of was “um, so Ranked?” “um hello, Ranked”, “OH MY GOD WE HAVE RANKED WHAT ARE YOU DOING???”

(Freezer_Boss) #7

Make arsenal cases retroactive SD , it was great since now

(Cuck) #8

server browser still valid tho?

(Kekler) #9

@Eox as a Fletcher main i can´t wait for that change, it´s a buff for skilled players which is perfect
@els @Freezer_Boss sadly not
@buffMonorail yes

(watsyurdeal) #10

That’s a terrible idea, cause then people like me would get like 40+ of them.

rank is pretty dead, it´s just not fun, to less player which leads to awfull waiting times and unbalanced matches due to small player selection

(Freezer_Boss) #12

@Watsyurdeal but it contains cool @$#!

(Amerika) #13

I was just talking with @LifeupOmega about doing “crowdsourced” stream update threads like this. Somebody, anybody, could start one and then others could contribute with more information or clarification on points. I am at work during the dev streams and can only half listen to them. This also removes a lot of the burden from @Faraleth who has a pretty busy life these days.

So, IMO, I’d like to encourage these threads in threads in the future.

Kind of sad, but it beats equipment cases. I’m fine w/ the new level cases for now (won’t have a solid opinion until I open one tbh)

(Brain_of_Britain) #16

(FerfyDerf) #17

And I would got something like 50+ of them. I’d rather have them. =P

But an alternative could be to just look at the level, and throw some extra stuff based on it, the higher the level, the more stuff you get.

(NetflixandKill) #19

Welp, now I have to debate if I should drop DB until these cases come out because I’m about to hit level 25 (less than 50k xp) but I really want to credit farm for 2nd Gen cases

I fail to see the “terrible” aspect of that.
