Patch thoughts

(O2.iceman) #1

Was nice to get an official patch, but only half the job was done imo.

  • What happened to increasing the amount of damage required to gib? It’s still only 3 bullets to gib, and I read that SD were going to set it to 113 or 125 :frowning:

  • What happened to fixing the hitboxes? Still have a crouching size prone hitbox.

  • What happened to a detailed changelog about what was fixed/included? I only just read that kick votes can now only be voted on by that team. No mention of that in the release notes.

  • Weapon switching after being revived is still broken afaict

I’m just disappointed that we need to rely on mods to fix core aspects of the game that should’ve easily been addressed in the 3 months it’s taken to get this patch out.

/me anxiously awaits the updated ETPro and shrub mods.

It was my understanding that there were to be no further patches for ET. I think the general concensus of the community was that there were not going to be any more patches.

In my opinion, the fact that we are getting any support at all for this FREE game speaks volumes about how much Splash Damage respects their gaming community and I have a LOT of respect for them for this.

I knew as soon as I saw a patch available that it would start a shit storm of people bitching about more things that they are unhappy with. Good god, if I were Splash Damage I’d be thinking “What a bunch of ungrateful bastards!”.

That said, I do think all of your points are valid and I would like to see them implemented (especially the hitboxes), but come on, they gave us this game for nothing. Can’t you just accept it for what it is and be glad that they are still willing to invest any time at all into it?

I won’t be using the patch until leagues require it, but it looks like a nice update. Most of the fixes in it are already fixed by mods, and I hope they don’t come into conflict.

I think we should all be thankfull we can play this game at all. Sure there are still same minor options missing but fact is that ET is more complete than most other titles on the market where you got to pay for. Solid gameplay experience with great graphics.

Lets not forget to give props to Activision/iD. Without their continued support SD would not be working on this project, we would not be playing ET, and there would certainly be no patches!
