Fine-Tuning-Update coming up

(irishrOy) #1

It hasn’t been posted here somewhere, so I’ll go for it.
(Sry if it has, but I haven’t seen it)

A little heads up for everyone!

We’ve been listening to the feedback that’s been provided over the last few weeks, particularly regarding the state of Phantom and changes made to View-Kick.

While we can’t confirm any details about the nature of the changes yet, because QA is ongoing and we live in constant fear of their wrath, we’re aiming to release a smaller update, centered around balance improvements and bug fixes. This will include changes to Phantom, View-Kick, Sparks, weapons and augments, all to improve the balance of Dirty Bomb.

There’s also other changes - Bug fixes for augments, improvements to the Daily Missions, enhancements for the Spectator mode and more coming your way.

As excited as we are about getting new content and new features into Dirty Bomb, we also need to make sure that everything already in Dirty Bomb remains a high quality. As we move forward, many patches will be focused on future improvements to the existing game, keeping Dirty Bomb as fair, sturdy and competitive as possible.

We hope you enjoy the changes to come, and the new Mercs, Maps and more in the pipeline. Thanks again for being such a passionate bunch - Keep on playing Dirty!

Overall:

Augment-changes? Yes, please! Fletcha-playas r happy. Hopefully the useless Lock-on-augment is being fixed

Balance- and Weapon-changes? Yes, please!

But I still somehow feel like this is the kind of “fine”-tuning Phantom needs. I really dunno how “fine-tuning” will bring Phantom more in line, since it’s the super-duper-awesome-combo of cloak, a cloak that is also armor, one of the best SMGs and the best melee-attack, makes him kinda “unbalanced”.

Hi, what i liked the most is this part:
“we also need to make sure that everything already in Dirty Bomb remains a high quality. As we move forward, many patches will be focused on future improvements to the existing game”. It’s exactly what i say. The game is good ATM! It just need fix, balance and optimisation with one merc once in a while.

@MissMurder I’m guessing there’s no ETA yet on this patch?

Stop stealing my lines you ding dong dinga ling

(Nail) #13

didn’t steal anything I borrowed it from every game dev in the universe except id Software, they own “when it’s done”

(Kroad) #14

why is it called “fine tuning”, no fine tuning is needed to aimpunch, people are asking for it to be removed

(Nail) #15

fortunately Splash Damage does what it wants, it’s fine tuning just like Phantom, no big nerf, just a couple tweaks

(Kroad) #16

nice, are they the ones paying their own salaries?

(Nail) #17

why yes they are, this isn’t the only game they have

and this one is free, not a huge income

(Kroad) #18

[quote=“Nail;50151”]why yes they are, this isn’t the only game they have

point is, they’re not making the game for themselves lol, even if they have other games, they want this one to bring in money (do you think they’re doing it as their gift to gaming? they’re a business, they want money) .

Reason you say “fortunately” is that you’re part of the 15% that likes aimpunch for whatever reason. They claim to listen to the community, and the community was fairly clear about what it wants- complete removal

(Backuplight) #19

Did you know that 63% of all statistics are made up?

At least wait and see what they’re doing first before pulling out the “we pay the devs, you’re not doing what I want” lines, which are frankly ridiculous regardless. They will likely continue to do what is in the best interest for the game from their point of view - just because some of the vocal portion of the player base have had a knee jerk “aim punch must be removed outright” reaction doesn’t mean that is the solution. Outright removing things is almost never the answer.
