sick6 newb's feedback post. Is it that time again?

Must have been a bug or a second airstrike.

Also, I hate you. You literally just made me try everything imaginable for 40+ minutes on a local server to see if I could reproduce that “bug”, if it even exists. :frowning:


(Szakalot) #62

yup; once the marker goes ‘poop’ the direction of the airstrike is fixed

I am a little against owned servers.

They are great, don’t get me wrong. But I was banned from mostly every server in ET:QW EU because I was “cheating”. I ended up purchasing my own server because of it.

Maybe there is a way around horrid admins…

I saw it happen 2 times on the same server 1 game after the other!

hahaha, kudos!

It’s like anything really…there will be good and bad and you just have to sort of deal with it. Since you bring up ETQW(an all time fav btw) I will say that in those days I only ever played on clan servers and as a result I only got banned once that I can recall. It was because I noobtubed the admin a couple times and he got really mad about it. So I did it again and teabagged him…ban. In my defense though, he had it coming.
Anyway, other than that I never got banned, so most of those servers were good in my experience. I think if we get the same kind of servers for DB(and tbh I have serious doubts that we will) it will probably be the same deal. If you’re a good player you’re going to want to stick with clan servers and the like where the admins have more of a presence and won’t get butthurt(most of the time) just because you outplayed them.

Nader is fine the way she is. If anything she needs one less Grenade or a second or two longer cool down on her restock per grenade. Giving her more power is ridiculous. If you use the Fragger is better argument then also realise his Grenades are too strong and he needs a fix of his own. Right now he can compete with Vassili’s insta-gib which isn’t right.

Aura doesn’t need an SMG unless you want to sparks her and give her a machine pistol primary or limit her to a Hochfir/Blishlok. Sawbonez has access to a Crotzini which is an excellent SMG, probably second best to the Kek-10. The Blishlok is a really handy weapon if you get the first shot off and can actually hit headshots but that’s where it’s problem is. It’s a gun where hitting the first shot is necessary to compete which is a problem no other SMG has.

Arty is a pretty useless character. Kira outshines him in every aspect so I’d just like to add to this and say Arty needs a rework as much as Phantom does. Although with the new way weapon kick works most of the guns Kira and Arty have access to are terrible choices.

That’s just it, I don’t know if you’re from the EU or not, forgive my ignorance!

But in the EU, most servers were ‘clan’ servers, the servers I didn’t get banned from, was only the ones where admins weren’t around most of the time.
The only fair playing admins I saw really was, TAW and JESUS… obviously, my own server. Guess we will just have to wait and see!

Another thing: Please fix character model heights. It feels absolutely ridiculous and weird switching between regular sized characters to smaller ones (ie kira and sparks) and having to aim UP to get the crosshair onto head height. Right now in default position the crosshair of Kira barely reaches the nipples of a Sawbonez.

Where as the Sawbonez is aiming WAY above the Kira but is not affected by it because she has a ridiculously large head hitbox that goes far beyond her actual model.

The light character model’s collision box is also a bit wider than the normal sized ones.

Dont understand at all how you being potentially banned from private servers is an argument against that system. You would still be able to play MM and official servers (which is all you have now and not in danger by any additions) and if people decide they dont like you or you outperform their community too significantly then they have the liberty tp exclude you from playing in a community they run.
We need private servers to practise as teams (and play scrims properly) and it has nothing to do with the experience for the average public player as we are not discussing an either/or scenario.

My post didn’t concern private servers, my post concerned public owned servers.


(mti_) #74

Same logic applies. If there is still an automated MM system and a quick match function to let you play on official public servers there is only things to be gained from privately owned public and/or passworded servers.


(h2o) #75

when will we be able to choose spawnpoint ?


(k0k0nat) #76

Wheres the “friendly fire” bullet point?


(fubar) #77

We have friendly fire on cup/private servers. This is not an issue. The functionality and support for it is there, it’s merely a switch that needs to be flipped.


(Volcano) #78

[ShooterGame.SGServerConfig]
FriendlyFire=1/0


(k0k0nat) #79

Ofc it is not an issue when u look at it from this point of view.
“Normal” players can not have matches with FF on since SD decided to turn it off as a standard setting.

Covering the own team with an airstrike/arty has become daily business now. <.<
It feels like SD has surrendered and the guys gave up the idea of playing this game with friendly fire on.


(Volcano) #80

i’m okay with it being off in pub but it really does need to be on in MM games as that is a introduction to competitive games
