Nice update but too late, guys. The competition is already (as good as) dead. You should’ve just rushed out a patch that added spawntimer netvars, really.

[QUOTE=Fishbus;344149]You suggest that we make the bunch of idiots smarter, isn’t that just as annoying for the originally smart person?
Analogies suck, the carb-9 was nerfed because it was too overpowered and moving all other weapon damage up would definitely have been too risky.
The carb-9 is still good, it just has a more viable weakness.[/QUOTE]
Seeing quite a few devs finally speaking on here finally beside Badman, I guess you guys are able to talk now? lol.

[QUOTE=riptide;344139]No, all the people that want their fkn bullets to go where they aim are mad. The gun play is utter crap. I don’t care how much damage the guns do… I do not want or need random variables in a fps… I should be rewarded for aiming. It should be so reliable that I know they die before the latency catches up because the guns are that reliable and predictable.
I don’t mind spread… or recoil but it needs to be constant or at least allow us to have control over bursting. If I aim at the center of the head I should hit the head… no question. Good now that we agree do something about it. I shouldn’t have to aim upper body because your game can’t get it right.[/QUOTE]
+1 - Been playing everything but brink lately because of the poor gun play

@[b]adman we’ll have news on the DLC soon
@[b]adman how would every server running different timers attract more players?
@[b]adman more to the point, tons of people left because of a lack of “promod” of any kind
@[b]adman if players were to come again it would likely be because of that
@[b]adman so it’s not going to attract more players now? 
@[b]adman (we’re actively looking at stuff for the comp there btw)
@[b]adman (it just won’t be fully exposed timers for everything))
In simple terms they will alter spawn timers but wont let server admins alter them

[QUOTE=AnthonyDa;344171]And yet, VALVe is approving pathes before uploading them to STEAM.
Do you really think that they allow devs to upload anything like that? So if a dev upload a massive virus, it’s a total ass-rape for VALVe. So no, it’s ain’t validated automatically.[/QUOTE]
Umm no, Mr. I think I know everything.

Did you read the changelog? Spawn times have been added to the netvars - have patience, I’m sure it’s coming…
To all of you saying nail in the coffin etc, I think you made your mind up on this a long time ago, it’s probably best you walk away now before you hurt yourself
Nice Patch SD, roll on the DLC and roll on the tweaks

Nicely done Badman… Glad you’re content with watching the game fall flat on its face. Enjoy seeing 500 people PEAK playing your game this time next week once the euros are done with ESL.

So what if they’ve been added now? All 691 people left will get to enjoy them. They should have been there from the start and should have been changed weeks ago after every team was full holding the entire time.

Good patch SD, thanks! 
And good to get devmap back!
But noticed one thing after playing some matches - it seems that names on team mates sometimes disappear for a while, in some situations. I’m pretty sure this is after the patch - found myself hitting team mates a lot more than normal, and looked like others did the same.

Amen to this guy… This game will have a PEAK of 500 people by this time next week… Smart thinking SD… Implement a patch and put in there “we have added the ability to change the spawn times, but for the future…” SMART THINKING.

I’m rather impressed with this update, lots of good changes made. The chatbox and endgame chat are great. Love the weapon rebalances, the frkn3k is like a whole new gun to toy with. Well done.

You guys realize that you’re NOT playing as a NAVY SEAL right?
Thes guys you’re playing are WORKING PEOPLE or COPS. that’s right, police and civies,
NOT military.
How much training with fully automatic rifles do the avg. cop or civilian have?
Why do you think they should have the accuracy of a smite button?
Have YOU ever fired a fully automatic weapon? I have, let me just say,
THEY DONT HAVE LASER ACCURACY.
Like the guy says, “This morning I was feeding my kids breakfast and then I’m given this gun”.
How many rounds do you think that dude’s fired in his life?

[QUOTE=riptide;344181]By viable weakness you mean random and by random you mean unreliable and by unreliable you mean frustrating now take this and apply to all all guns and you’ve got Brink. I don’t care if the dmg was 2 per bullet I want my bullets to go where I aim or miss because I didn’t control it correctly. This game has been one of the few times I truly felt scammed. I guess I should stay away from all AAA titles.
Oh well here’s to hoping for an ETLive or something along those lines.
Oh ya… still getting the damn sound glitch.[/QUOTE]
It was always random, what the change is that the cone pattern is a little less central. The gun is as accuracte as it has always been (lying within the crosshair), it’s just not as likely to hit the central dot 9 times outta 10. SMGs have always been awesome close, mid range bullet dispensers and they still are. They’re still great when moving and jumping around. These changes only stop SMGs from being able to mow people down from 1km away, which was kinda the issue (since rifles were being outclassed).
That carb-9 weakness has always been the recoil, we just enhanced a little to bring it in line. the other changes are very negligible, even smaller than “slightly”.
I hope you guys can understand why the changes were brought in.

This comment makes so much sense. Also, the game is more like a sport than a real military operation. I’m loving it. But I haven’t played the new patch yet. *fingers crossed8

Am I the only one in desperate need of some end-game/end-match stats. I don’t really care about K/D ratio but I would like to see something for my effort. I keep telling myself this will change when the stats page goes up. But I am beginning to wonder if all the bad press, has made SD kill the construction of the stats site and/or the DLC.
At any rate I would love to see the XP I earned for a given match even if it doesn’t increase my maxed 300,000XP. Or tell me the # of objectives completed or SOMETHING.
And why is SD so silent on the stats pg and DLC, of which both have exactly a week to go to make it in the promised “JUNE” time frame.
And finally I would love a Record or Demo mode. TF2 managed to add this. I’m so surprised a game so heavy on stylistic parkour movement would miss something as obvious as record and play back features.
I’m still loving the game and still hopeful, my concerns will be addressed.
Thanks, SD!
