It’s that time again! Your next dose of Dirty Bomb has arrived! :grin:

Thanks to a ton of great feedback from the Dirty Bomb community, we’ve made some key updates to the game’s setup (better matchmaking, and it uses Stopwatch!); and set fire to some annoying bugs (say bye-bye to the end of round crash!).

[url=“http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/1220/dirty-bomb-patch-notes-r14-5-weekend-test-2”]Check out the separate patch notes news item for full details.

Test Schedule
This weekend is the second of two sessions with a focus on matchmaking and our back-end infrastructure. Dirty Bomb will be online for all the multiplayer mayhem you can eat during the following timeframe:

• Friday, March 6th at 9AM PST/5PM GMT thru Monday, March 9th at 10AM PDT/5PM GMT

Limited Edition Loadout Card!
If you didn’t complete a match during last week’s test, this weekend is your last chance to earn a Limited Edition case containing one of five Obsidian Loadout Cards! You’ll be able to get your hands on it once Dirty Bomb returns.

Need more info? Check out the FAQ below! Otherwise, pack your Mercs and start matchmaking!

We hope you have a blast,
The Dirty Bomb Team

[u]FAQ[/u]
Does Dirty Bomb Feature a Server Browser?
• It does indeed. Veteran players have been using it extensively; however it will be disabled for the most part during these matchmaking tests as we want as many people matchmaking as possible!

Testing the infrastructure, what’s that all about?
• Basically, we’ll be pushing Dirty Bomb’s backend up to, and possibly past, its breaking point during these periods. We’re looking to stress the system to such an extent that we can see which areas need to be strengthened further. If something odd does happen, don’t worry, we’re somewhat expecting that. Be sure to report any issues on the forum though!

Obsidian Loadout Cards? What’re they all about?
• Loadout Cards will be receiving a visual upgrade as well as a new rarity structure that’ll make it much easier to understand rarity values. We’ll have more on that later, but as you can see, Obsidian cards look pretty badass!

Can I invite a friend to a match?
• Not quite yet. We are however developing a system that’ll allow you to easily invite friends to a party, before jumping in-game.

We are now switching Objective Matchmaking mode on now as well to level the playing field a bit :wink:

So, if I only played during last weekend’s test, I will still get the obsidian loadout right? I’m traveling and won’t be able to play this weekend =/.

I wish we were able to choose our beta loadout card :’(

(Todesbote) #6

Me to choose or get all :smiley:

(atomicSage) #7

Please allow us to pick which Obsidian card we get :frowning: It’ll make me super upset if I get anything other than that Vassili loadout :frowning: Since I don’t really play any of those other guys. It’s fair right?

I got one match in this weekend on sunday night when only objective server browser was up. Besides one guy that went 50-2 (he seemed to be a sniper) it was pretty well balanced.The match was close but we got the datebrain, uhhh, datacore delivered just in time.

I also appreciate that my settings didnt reset in the off time, though my aim seemed off. Not sure if it was some back end change or i was just not used to it.
