SD, can you please shed some light on Brink's future?

(Fasimba) #21

coz many of us (idiots) were waiting for new SD game for years (after great ET and awesome ETQW), and it turned out to be such a piece of unfinished s**t

What the hell?

(pinksocking) #23

The main reason I didn’t want to post news like this is because of a response like this.

Should be happy about getting something, no?

It’s more creditable when you post your sources.

(Smokeskin) #25

So you have no gripes about it other than some bugs and balance stuff, that has been or will soon be patched?

Very happy here.

(Fasimba) #28

i wouldnt put it that way.
there are many things which they most probably won’t be fixing, i.e. ‘F’ button, cvars unlock, etc.
because it’s not a bug, it’s by design

hate mode off:
[B]SD, what the hell? why keep so silently? let us know you’re fixing the game.

you need to learn a little about customer orientation.
set customer expectations, try to be honest and not give unrealistic promises.
provide a schedule on what (and what not) you’re going to do.

start with this - announce what’s going to be in next patch.
otherwise people would expect you to keep playing with these chat fonts sizes for next couple of months[/B]

hate to be a hater, really

Interesting thing (I, too have no trouble breaching the gate as a soldier planting the bomb) is that no one but a few of the cats I’ve played with/against seems to do what a friend showed me to do: switch to Operative and hack-breach the door leading to the Resistance side, just left of the Security side of the gate. This is a perfect flanking opportunity, affording many kills as cats keep trying to mount/use the stationary gun opposite the Security side (everytime I’ve mowed them down).

Anyway, interesting feedback inquiries, save the splitscreen. I just don’t get the need for this, but that’s just me.

I’m pretty sure most thing you rage about ar up to Bethesda amigo…

(Fasimba) #31

well i dont know much about all this stuff, ok?
if it so, then someone from SD would confirm it, right?

smth like:
guys, really, we made a great game, and ready to improve it the way you want, but due to NDA with Bethesda we are not supposed to talk about it, so don’t ask us - ask them! <link>
[eom] and stick it to the top. so people know how who is responsible of what.

a lil bit more of communication, thats all.

but no, instead of doing this, they just keep on closing ‘hate topics’ :slight_smile:

(kamikazee) #32

First rule of a non-disclosure-agreement: you don’t talk about the NDA.
Second rule of a NDA: you DO NOT talk about the NDA.

Besides, I don’t know if they have a NDA or just employees (by being a daughter-company) of Bethesda. If it’s the latter, you don’t say bad things about your boss on a public forum.

wtf, split screen?

(Rhadamant) #34

[QUOTE=Shinigami;323940]I am making this thread to politely ask the people of SD to tell us about the future of Brink. More specifically, I am going to list some things that I would like to know about what is to come. To be more clear, I am NOT looking for when , I am looking for if this things are being considered for adjustments/implementation in the future.

1. Lobby system/matchmaking system. Number one in list for a reason

[B]2. Switching characters and size between matches, NOT in-game.

  1. Split screen.

  2. Map adjustments- [/B]Including but not limited to container city. I have seen spawn camping in resort too.[B]

  3. Weapon adjustments

  4. New objectives/missions for already existing maps[/B]- seems easier than new maps (dont mean we dont want them), and something where both teams are on offense. Seems more dynamic.

7. Clan system/support.

If anyone else has anything they would like to ask about this is probably the time to do so. And if you feel that this are things you would like to hear SD talk about please comment on it so SD will notice it.[/QUOTE]

I couldn’t agree more, in fact I made my own post about it.

Sure, but you’d think they’d at least make a news post on their own forums linking to it…

(RaKeD) #36

OMG what the Dev’s said is great :smiley:

All those questions from the OP were floating through my mind too.And i was so hoping that SD will patch them and now they do it :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

(Up&Down) #37

^^ yeah seriosly ?!

(Brink Lags) #38

ON consoles its been killed by a pitiful broken launch. I’d love to know what the player count has dropped to.

Day 1 I had tons of friends on Brink. Already completely dead. I’m waiting for the lag patch to see if it works, then trading it in. I’m not keeping a team based game when all my friends have traded the game in.

(PiMD360) #39

How about some f$^%&$#& subtitles or captions?

(Schwarzeis) #40

I just want them to fix the sound (loading-screen briefing, cutscene talk), add subtitles, lobbies and improve the net-code so it doesn’t lagg as bad. These are the biggest issues I have now, that some weapnos and some stuff being useless I can live with, but improving them would be nice too… :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, it sure as balls would be nice to get a little update from the guys at Splash about the DLC/fixing and the future of BRINK support
