hey MissMurder i just want to point out will dirty bomb ever add a auto kick for AFK ppl i fine them annoying not helping the team thanks

(Ardez1) #4

Afk players are kicked. Try being afk sometime. The problem is they have a script that keeps them ‘active’. A bit harder to detect(well not that hard, but it can cause some suffering for players who are mistaken as afk.

Game update meaning…content patch? Hot fixes for maybe the Underground door glitch? What are we looking at here?

(Ardez1) #6

Patch notes are normally released during/after downtime. Nothing is showing that this pattern will change as of yet.

And yes, game update means something within the game is being updated. :wink:

This is a scheduled fine tuning patch, which means do not expect new content. Fine tuning patches are known to be a combination of balancing and bugfixes. While this isn’t written in stone, don’t get your hopes up. The cycle is Content Patch -> Fine Tuning Patch -> Content Patch -> Fine Tuning Patch and so on. The last update was Phoenix, so this is a fine tuning patch.

@Harlot we will get notes out tomorrow. It’s fine tuning so it’s bug fixes etc…not a new Merc.

I understand how they do it. I’m just badgering them for details since literally every other development team can provide notes prior to patching.

The TIMIK is already pretty good when you learn it’s recoil and when to ADS. Been using it as a replacement to the M4 and definitely loving the increased DPS.

But Timik and M4 fight is like old battle in Counter Strike.

they did a few times, but there was so much whine about changes that nobody even got to test, that I imagine they decided to post them afterwards to spare themselves the cry.
