Hey all,
Welcome to FAQ-ing Fridays number 5!
If you didn’t know, what we’re doing every Friday is combining all of the juicy dev replies we’ve done during the week into one central space so no-one will be out of the loop with anything we say. As always all feedback is welcome and if you can think of a way to improve this further let us know.
We also saw after last weeks FAQ-ing Friday that you guys posted a LOT of questions in the comments, so we’ll see what we can do to get back to you on those (and the new ones we expect on this post too).
So here we go:
Dirty Bomb Forums
Cam2g - Is the maximum Concussion Blind time working properly? It seems a lot longer than two seconds
The timings are correct, however once the full blind time has finished, there is another time for the blind to leave your screen completely which makes it seem longer.
Setzaroth - In every game I’ve played since I started, each match has at least one major lag spike that lasts a few seconds which causes me to teleport
This spike could be caused by players loading into the match. If this happens again, have a look and see if someone has recently joined the server. It could be spiking as you’re loading their assets in.
MaceyKeys - I keep getting the sticky bomb bug at key moments during my matches. Anyone else experiencing this?
This is a part of a bigger issue with the weapon switching system. We want to re-work it to fix that and other issues, but for now it’s about seeing when the work could be done.
boerhae - Does giving ammo provide reduction to ability cooldown?
Yes they do when direct hit! Also, if you direct hit with medpacks the receiver gets an extra and instant 10hp
TheOmniscient - Can we get Pineapple Juggler buffed?
We won’t be making any changes to Gen 1 Augments. We removed/updated them for Gen 2 and will continue to see what we can improve or update in a bigger way to give more variety in gameplay.
376E1AE459B1 - Ranked Sucks. For my last 10 matches I was put on a terrible team
As you know we’re making a load of improvements to Ranked for Season 3 (check out this video for extra info check out our previous dev video. When that goes live, we’re gonna be keeping a very close eye on it so we can then make a list of updates for Season 4.
izeastfishz - I saw a red clan tag [SD] Assembly in red, anything special?
These tags are for developers only. So if you see them, say hello (and do your best to stay alive)
Vadervanhetjaar - Why is it sdo heard to get a Ranked match?
Evening EU time is the best time to search!
Snlperx - We need community admins to ban cheaters
We’re doing many things to improve this. Check out our latest dev video where we chat a bit about anti-cheat and what’s going on. There’s not a lot of details, but we do need to protect what we’re doing so we stay ahead of the curve. As for community admins, we will not be putting those in place. That is too much power for anyone and would need to be heavily monitored. Remember to use the in-game reporting system if you come across someone you’re suspicious of. Instant action isn’t taken, however those reports are reviewed and appropriate action will be taken if necessary.
VonDinky - How do I call a Shuffle Vote
Press F5 and then press the number for Shuffle Vote
Frottage - I’ve just earned 50k Credits. Which Merc should I buy
As I always say, Nader is bae
Eskeli - Could we get a notification for when a player swaps Merc?
This is a great idea. And has been passed on to the team.
Thanks,
shoe.
