Twitch Dev Stream Highlights

(jubilantManatee) #1

I noticed that yesterday there was supposed to be a twitch stream, where “insights” into upcoming game additions were shared- any recap as to what was discussed?

Turtle? Javelin? New Mercs in development?

I cannot find any information anywhere.

You can watch it yourself and find all information there.

The bloke who used to do the stream roundups doesn’t seem to post them anymore.

Didn’t know that, sorry if I offended.

I’m waiting to collect someone, and have time to kill.

I attempted to watch the twitch stream, though it’s just stopping every few seconds.

By continuing to refresh the page, I got to the point in the video where the host was exclaiming there are things coming- but it’s just too much stopping and restarting to attempt watching.

Anyone actually watch the stream, who can outline whay is in store for the next update?

So basically,

Merc selection keys are now bindable (default F1,F2,F3)
Vote keys are now bindable (default PgUp, PgDn)
Double time fix.
Ranked is not returning YET - Although they’ve made progress.
Fixed a bug with server performance degrading throughout a match.
Fixed a bug with Phantom EMP / Proxy mines.
Fixed a bug where some gun / ability trails were missing.

Thank you sir.

No probs m8

Woah. Does this mean I can sprint cancel with Double Time now?

(MisterBadmin) #10

@KUST__LunarTM
No. It does not.
It ISN’T a Double Time fix, but shoe. tried to sell it that way. (Still <3 shoe.)
The ACTUAL feature is “Reload cancels Reload,” which means you can hit reload to cancel your reload animation. I’ll try to find the timestamp in the stream.
EDIT: [url =https://www.twitch.tv/dirtybomb/v/72236630]Here at around 16 minutes.

Pleased to hear they made the right choice on that. There is nothing wrong with the augment in the first place, and the people who want to use those cards still have an option for their reload cancel besides switching weapons.

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree on that point.
The old version of Double Time worked without breaking sprint canceling, which was fine.
The change screwed up all of my muscle memory for my favorite loadout, BL41 Aura. (I don’t use DT on anything else.) I’ve gotten used to swap-canceling, but it’s so much slower.
R-canceling (because reload-canceling could be confused for the others) is a nice option, but I will turn it off instantly. I could learn to use R-canceling and disable sprint-canceling, but as long as it’s in the game I see no reason to try to relearn muscle memory, especially because I always have my pinky on Shift.

If there was a little more advance warning to the streams, I would participate.

I turned on a pal to the game, and he turned on his pal to the game - I really enjoy the game, and would contribute more if I had a solid idea of where the game is headed.

Is there any sort of road map regarding what will be added- or potentially how much more could be added to the game over time?

I have heard of Turtle and Javelin. I’m curious if there are definately more mercs that will be added over time. That would be solidify my interest in the game, and I would promote it more, and buy more items from the store.

Any plans for a larger roster of mercs?

(MisterBadmin) #15

The streams are always Monday (dev), Wednesday (community), and Friday (Nexon) at whatever time is listed, unless canceled.
Closest thing to a roadmap is this, although it’s old.
The closest ongoing roadmap-ish thing would be this. That is their devblog that was started awhile ago, but tends to just tease rather than properly show off.
As far as anybody knows, the roster will continue to grow as long as the game is supported. We may eventually hit Dota/League levels of playable characters.

(jubilantManatee) #16

I would love if it kept expanding.

I would continue to support, if it could expand merc selection for its duration.

It’s a very fun game.

Why can’t they just let us choose between the old Double Time and the new one? This is not a fix at all. It slightly improves the situation since it’s not slower anymore to cancel the reload, but we still have to change the way we play to use this augment. It’s still better than it was before, but seriously is it that hard to put an option to switch between the old and the new Double Time?..

(arcaneCanvas) #19

i thought they have the on off button for the reload cancel reload.

Yes but I’m talking about the old version of Double Time when you could cancel reload by sprinting. It was way better (at least for me).
