Elements of polish

(smartIsland) #1

Here is a list of things I would like to see polished up as this game continues to head towards release.

  1. There are a number of events that disrupt the reload animation but leave you with a full clip, perhaps these could be streamlined so that they either always occur or never occur, eventually people are going to abuse it

  2. Players should be added to the team with less people every time, never prioritizing attackers as it does at least in the lobby, idk what it does while in-game

  3. The game browser will sometimes prevent players from joining saying the server is full when it clearly isn’t, this occurs for example when a friend is trying to join my server and there is a space but it tells him/her it’s full. It will continue to say full for quite a while, usually till the match is over, so clearly no one is currently in the process of loading in.

  4. I feel that the automatic join function is either prioritizing EU servers or somehow EU servers are completely dominating the browser. Today there were no US servers for a period of several hours. Yet, the minute i get a US server going people start joining and it is full within 15 min. Why would the game not just automatically start you in a new US server to get one going if it is clear you are from the US

  5. If several people emote at the same time it sometimes skips some people and never plays their emote, this seems less polished than in prior ET games where this never seemed to happen

  6. I would like an announcers voice to call out 1 minute left and give some encouragement and to increase the intensity of the music that comes on at the 30 second mark, or even start it at one minute so it is actually noticeable and more exciting

These are all things that need to be looked at, but I hope that they have higher priority on making the game actually playable e.g. fixing the bug that makes you unable to switch weapons at times, or the numerous mounted MG related bugs, or the broken hit detection.

Optimizing the game to run better is another thing that needs heavy attention.

I’ve never seen it do the issue you brought up at # 2. I’ve always seen it place a new player on the team with less people. If both teams are even a new player will be put on Attackers because it’s the harder side.

100% read the thread title to mean Polish as in the nationality.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if the topic was full of incoherent gibberish about Polish raids on the servers.

They sure have a lot of work with new content, but here’s to hope there’s like two or three people actually able to spend some time on addressing the things Shoe collects in his notebook. Either way, those are all fixes that surely will be taken care of at some point, probably sooner rather than later, so don’t worry. I personally would love if they looked into weapons being inactive upon revival sometimes (I think it’s usually when your clip is empty, but it just doesn’t show on the screen nor start reloading on its own).
