Uber fast gamershell patchy watchy Ta for the notice though Pia.

 

[Nanor]

Emm, Diablo, what's the scoop with this and our friendly?

 

[elDiablo]

Patches all the way I assume. I'm installing now, but I'll check!

- Debriefing End of Round screen displays player stats

This "fix" I find hilarious given that so far the game has crashed to desktop after EVERY round I played tonight. It happenned to F1-Predator too. We tried about six or seven different servers and it happened on each one.

P.S. Pia, the AR is the Assault Rifle.

Yeah, this is a big worry with the friendly tomorrow. I was going to test it, but hearing 2 people say it is happening does not fill me with hope...

The heavy assault rifle... i hope, is the one they sorted, cus when i unlocked it on a different account (AsasaNinja) , its accuracy for the same as the G3... before patch, it sucked so so so bad

So i might be going down the old medic tree again, and expand into heavy assault tree again, wish u could reset your unlocks...

, wish u could reset your unlocks...

thats what field upgrades are for, test out those unlocks before committing.

- Titan no longer moveable by the Commander once Titan shields are down

Now that's very interesting, because I remember HotStuff telling us that Psi suggested that exact feature.

Psisoilder had a good idea to remove this. If the shield is down this should somehow disable the the engines, so the titan would not move.

Excellent, maybe Psi is really, truly ... Psi-chic?

 

[Wraith]

Well which assualt rifle?! The Scar? The Voss? The Baur? The Krylov?

Teeeellll meee!!!

Presumably all of the ones you mentioned have been adjusted. They're all assault rifles so it's likely that they've all been changed. If it was just one of them I'd have expected them to specify which.

I.e.

- Revised Voss deviation per bullet

 

[thatbloke]

Now that's very interesting, because I remember HotStuff telling us that Psi suggested that exact feature.

I think the reason for this "feature" is that there is a known bug out there that causes the game (or was it server?) to crash when titans are moving without their shields up.

Though it may stay after they fix that initial problem...
