FINE TUNING - AUGUST UPDATE
Still no fix for the GSR iron sights, guess I’m not playing Red Eye for a couple more weeks.
Everything but the crotzni nerf looks good to me. I love that Auhnuld now has even more range, should make it more usable.
That removal of the Turn Speed Limiter on M1 Melee, awww yeeeaah!
An Anti-Cheat system, awww yeeeaah!
Still nothing on Fletcher stickies though. Why.
Nader buffed to 120 health? HELL YEA
Crotzni nerfed? Hmmmmm…I’ll have to mess around with it tonight, that starting hipfire accuracy change may not do that much to be honest. It’s just a damn good gun.
Plus, new anticheat and turn speed limit removed, YES
Didn’t even notice the aimpunch changes, VERY nice
Obviously have to play this first but “crotzni effectiveness based on player averages”
A lot of mercs have it (compared to say kek10 where only bushwhacker is a good merc that has it)
The better players tend to favour it, so how much is this adjusted by player ability. Seems easy to overrate it just based on averages.
Everything else seems reasonable.
If the problem does not subside within 4 hours please go to the hospital.
Uho.
Very interesting changes though, I wonder if this puts the TIMIK ahead or at least in competition with the M4 now? And another buff to the K-121, M4 might bite the dust for both classes.
Surprised the SMG-9 got buffed and the Crotzni got nerfed. As of the last smg changes it was already better than the Crotzni in my book, or they were at least neck and neck. Now there’s no question.
Max limit of 99,999 XP per match to help stop exploits? That’s a bit high isn’t it? 60k would be fine, 50k is probably fine.
HITPUNCH NERFS. YES. I WANT TO POST A VERY INAPPROPRIATE GIF RIGHT NOW.
I LOVE THIS PATCH.
Personally, I think the Crotzni shouldn’t be nerfed, but rather the SMG 9 and Hochfir buffed, maybe the Blishok and KEK as well if needed.
The Crotzni is just rock solid, SMG 9 feels pointless, and Hochfir feels like a bullet hose more so than the KEK.
The Blishok I felt was supposed to be the K 121 of SMGs.
Removed the turn speed limit from Primary Attacks (ie slashes) for all melee weapons.
Finally i can make a Beyblade mode again but on slashes. Thank you since using right
mouse on beyblade mode was too easy for me earlier.
Burst and semi-auto buffs?? Seems good for my burst friends. More hp for nader?? Yea.
Rhino speed increased by little?? Yea. Making shotgun differences?? Hell yes.
Nerfing Crotzni while buffing Smg-9 and Hochifir?? Seems normal.
Updated the way Player Skill is calculated in non-competitive games to improve team balance
Where is Oscar award for that??
Added an upper XP limit of 99,999XP per match to help protect against potential farming exploits
So,anti Aura exploit 2.0??
Updated 4-second Spawn Point invulnerability - If a player fires, they are dropped to a 50% damage shield rather than losing it entirely
So it is spawncamp reducing(or outpushing) strategy?? Seems little for a start.
Fixed bug where Smoke Grenade could block delivery of Carryable Objectives
I was waiting for this since i use Red Eye on Bridge and Terminal and this was a pain.
And i do not see Lock in perk FIX.
It will be very interesting to see how the M4A1 and Timik-47 compare now. Before I didn’t even consider the Timik as much of an option.
Oh wow ! So much changes. Buffs to all ARs ! Shotguns made better at longer ranges… Gotta try it tomorrow !
Very sad that Stickies are still not fixed though. How long will we have to wait ?
Oh and a small question to finish : SMG-9 and Blishlok were regarded by players as the worst SMGs. That update gave to SMG-9 an accuracy and recoil buff. Why Blishlok did not got buffed ? Has it something to do with those stats ? http://nxcache.nexon.net/umbraco/2734/crotznieffectivenessgraph-v2.jpg
Pretty glad to see these changes. I will be a little sad to see Nader getting a speed nerf (even if it is slight)
The patch notes look… fantastic!
As a burned in Kira fan I love the slight buffs of the burst rifles.
And… anticheat! Yey!
May anyone explain me what NGS is though? I get no real results when googling it…
Edit: Nevermind, it’s Nexon Game Security.
Awesome how the devs just kicked out Xigncode. Great job!
Reading all that made me super excited to start playing today! Really looking forward to a smoother gameplay experience and more reliable anti-cheat so that we can all just enjoy the game as it’s meant to be.
Yeah buddy!! Anti-cheat maybe now we can get to some legit competition games going…Great news!
Something is wrong with “press space to deploy now” functionality. I often get thrown into a free camera mode, and then can’t re-spawn.
