The soundwork in this game reaches borderline-DICE levels of masterful engineering, sometimes arguably surpassing that. Sound occlusion tends to be pretty barebones and crappy in most games, especially for footstep sounds, but the amount of effort they put into it here gives a sense of dread kinda akin to hearing someone actually scurrying around a floor above you. That's a real difficult thing to do in the wild world of game sound design.

Granted, none of it's HYPER REAL and actual voices still carry a bit too far, but the reverb lends them enough credibility and honestly i'm surprised at how much VO the AI alone has for everything. I mean, it's not uncharacteristic for these games, but with how little they needed to care about that stuff they definitely put some effort in.

Any idea why sometimes thermite starts cutting through plate and then just ... doesn't? The wall gets all scorch-marked but it doesn't break through.

I think it can happen with regular breaching charges against non-reinforced drywall as well.

If you're using it on a none reinforced wall, chances are someone shot it through the wall ?

Also maybe they had mute and he deployed a jamming device as you were breaching but thats a bit far fetched.

So some bullshit happened last night. Every round in setup some guy on the opposite team would call out everyone we picked in all chat. Like, every round. Turns out if you alt/enter out and back in on the setup screen you can see everything the opposite team picked. It's super frustrating and hopefully it gets fixed soon. Will be even more bullshit in ranked when people actually care about counter-picking and not just " pick the dudes that look cool"

It's fixed in the next patch :ssh:

A PC client hotfix just got deployed. It isn't compatible with unpatched clients and it won't download if you're already ingame.

You will matchmake but won't merge / start game.

Restart client to get the patch or never stop playing i guess.

I was playing with Keshik, jamesray and a few other guys i'm unfamiliar with yesterday and someone said he could see this game go competitive.

If you're looking for competitive-R6 (i'm aware these 2 words sound weird at the moment) it�s not very easy to know where to look at the moment - Most of the player base have only about 2 months of game experience and most of it is being played in custom games, under the radar however last week the finals of G4G was recorded @ http://www.twitch.tv/speedpenguin/v/33971039 **Warning, contain lot's of sacre-bleu. :france:

The stream is like 4 hours long so i haven't watched the whole thing but theres some good plays in there.

The streamer is Kryp, a Spanish player who�s known in CSGO. He�s playing with AERA, a French team, and they face another French team (REVOLT, who happens to be a team where 2 players were accused of hacking in Ranked matches and in the first ESL cup).

It�s a small cup with nothing at stake but pride i guess, but hey the level is good!

OkPlanB fix your loving game -ROBOBALBOA :frogsiren:

For the xth time we got that no sound bug for the whole squad in bank where you could only hear the sprinkler/drone.. Is it me or it's always bank when we're messing around in basement/garage/vault? Also i haven't had a clear idea whether the other team is affected or not.
Gaga, Kramersrant, ROBO, Wolfy..Anyone?

If you think you have specifics steps to repro this poo poo or even if you guys can remember where you were/doing when it happened it could help us isolate it because right now the cause seems to be lost deep in a clusterfuck of code.

You can poke me here, PM, uplay, steam etc.. I'm not hard to reach.

edit: ^^
Yeah it fixes itself in between round transition, at least theres that.

BadLlama posted:

I've played a lot of hours of this and have never had this happen on any map or bank. Not sure if that helps at all.

If anything it enforces the fact that it's not 100% and hard to repro :/

wolffenstein posted:

i asked the other team and they said they lost audio too. the other thing i can think of was gaga's drone was lodged between a shelf and a wall in the garage and seemed to keep bouncing off whatever boundries involved.

Ah i don't remember them replying. Thanks, and yeah that drone was doing an awful lot of noise.

ex2: VVV That was exactly it yeah. Drone stuck basically spammed the same sound over and over eventually busting out the allocated memory :ms:

Can we just go ahead and flat out turn on the insta kill defenders outside the map in prep phase? These asshats need to die.

Just need to make sure theres no nasty side effect like instagibbing any DEF going out during the action phase or killing them while they're reinforcing a garage door and then we're all set to deploy.

Castle shield is also getting a well deserved punch in the dick soon. :ssh:

That's why I'm interested/confused.

Welp, there is a current exploit where Castle can deploy a shield that cannot be vaulted over. It kinda sucks if placed in a simple doorway especially when you're out of explosives. This will be fixed soon.

this is likely still processing, but I gotta go to bed and I told planB I'd upload it so he can watch my ~shenanigans~

The 1.04 patch hit PS4 today. Is it the one the ups the tick rate?

Yup.

e: In fact, tickrate improvement is one of the few things consoles get today. Rest of the content will be available on the 20th according to the patchnote.

Uh what?

I doubt anyone ever said "man I wish they nerfed castle barricades" in this game. You guys have been doing good with the game so far please refrain from loving it up destiny style with unnecessary buffs/nerfs.

I like your enthusiasm

I didn't meant to be that vague on purpose.

I was talking about fixing the exploit specific to Castle deploying a.. deployable shield that can't be vaulted over. Nothing related to balance. Unless we consider fixing exploits balancing.

True a lot of DEF have deployable shields but given the repro steps it has to be castle that deploys his own, hence why i called it Castle's shield. :colbert:

Foehammer posted:

I don't think this is true

Castle removing one of his own barricade will refund it into his inventory.

Great to hear that is getting fixed.

By the way, are we still going to get the campus map added to mp rotation if you can talk about it? I thought that was supposed to happen in December but I might be wrong , can't remember where I read that.

Yeah can't talk about the specifics on that sorry. Right now it is only available in Terrohunt defuse bomb.

Because OkPlanB asked us to put our requests here, my request is to make uncancelable actions like placing breaching charges or climb over a barrier from repelling able to be cancelled. It's aggrivating to be stuck in those kind of animations when someone's shooting at you, and you can't do anything.

No i just wanted to play without acting as a secretary <3

Nalesh posted:

Speaking of requests, PLEASE let us be able to choose which animation we use when prone(legs forward, legs behind), it would be a huge bandaid for the getting shot when your leg clips through a wall thing. (Though I would prefer if you guys did it like counterstrike and culled parts of models that get clipped through walls)

The more plausible option is to fix the locations where the limbs can go through collision in certain stances. Fixed a bunch but there is still some to go obviously.

lohli posted:

It seems to me that a system that culls clipping parts would be best, because as it is now it seems like body parts can clip through any sufficiently thin wall, and if you're going around fixing these one surface at a time I imagine it would be both labour/time intensive while still leaving it open to reoccurring in future maps.

Also here's my UI suggestion from last night.

The UI/HUD elements as they are now can be pretty obtrusive, and while it's good that we can turn pretty much every individual part of it off, the huge downside is that there is no middleground.

The main gripe I have is that HUD elements like team-mate outlines, names, objective markers, etc, because of being drawn over everything else(as they should be) can obscure things you're trying to pay attention to. For example if you've got an enemy of a point of interest right between you and a team-mate or objective, your vision can be pretty heavily obscured.

So an additional option to have those HUD elements fade-out(not necessarily completely, but that could be an option, too) when they're near the middle of the screen would fix what I consider to be a pretty big(but mostly an edge case)downside to an otherwise serviceable HUD.

Generally speaking here, its easier (and safer) to fix level design over messing around with interactions/animations mostly because if you modify an object in the engine, the change can ( if you want it to) affect said object anywhere its replicated in the game. Say i decide to make the cameras purple its one change to affect them all. No need to individually change them all.

As for the HUD/outlines you mentioned BF4 right? I haven't played this for so long i completely forgot how it looks. Guess i'll reinstall it to see what you meant.
