First of all, thanks! @aminuseternal !

•thunders conc grenade was not fully blinding players, but is no longer full white, turned down slightly to prevent eye strain

OK, so it was a bug but they will intend this for preventing eye strain, yes,

Then how about the SPARE BUG?

Getting 1 more mag from ammo box or fire supports.

So is this bug or not. hmm.

nah they didn’t say anything on it, and I forgot to ask because I have maybe uh one loadout I use that has spares >_>

I was trying too busy trying to ask why they didn’t just remove healing falloff from the rev gun instead of buffing sparks’ medpacks <_<

(totally not biased in my priorities :3)

Well the bug is now you have spares in practically all of the loadouts even without the augment, if you resupply yourself from ammo crates or stations.

Still, shamed also I forgot to ask it as it was in my mind when I first saw Naxxus sitting there :<

(Chris Mullins) #5

Thanks for the post! We are aware of this issue and will fix it when possible :slight_smile:

Honestly @stayfreshshoe, I think it should stay (the extra clip) from ammo stations. It’s a nice extra for the station, I often find myself standing on them now instead of picking up ammo packs just for the extra ammo. Before this was happening I never touched ammo stations. I just saw no point since a pack gave you thje ammo instantly haha.

(Tanker_Ray) #7

Agreed. They nerfed the reclaim CD to 65% so that we can’t place stations for ourselves or place it for team often.

Gotta stock +1 more mag to prevent visiting station often.

(aminuseternal) #8

It would be nice to see some differentiation between the ammo packs and ammo stations besides people pretending to be turtle with the ammo stations :wink:

(ClemClem7) #9

Ammo stations are great for drop and forget like at spawn or in a choke point while packs are better for moving.
One idea was to have some increased reload speed when close to a station because packs have a decrease of cooldown which is almost useful.

Aaaaw man. I’ll miss that one!

My story:

Dirty Bomb addict --> Average time spent --> Very less time spent --> Stopped playing dirty bomb.

Seriously, for me, the performance gets worse on every update, YES, i have a shitty computer, so I am not completely blaming anyone, but what once was playable cannot be played anymore is definitely a issue, at least for me. My FPS gets hit every time there is an update. Once i would play at 60 fps at ultra LOW, but now I get a 10 at the same settings (fluctuations to be more exact) and I don’t even have to mention the random crashes.
