PR v0.86 Stress Test - General Thread

[[R-MOD]Jigsaw]

Yuhp completely serious...

Needs some tweaking.

As for the server I think we had it full for a decent amount of time and at the very least it was around the 55ish mark whenever I managed to get on.

And yeah its a lot of cool stuff for just a patch, really nice work although a couple things clearly still need tweaking (im looking at you "spawnable limited kits" )

[Robbi]

sssssh jiggy, it will be sorted in time

Like 4 builds time

I heard some mixed explanations about the U.S.M.C. Officer Kit getting an M4 Carbine as opposed to the M16 Assault Rifle. Anyone able to elaborate why? I was surprised at first after I had requested my kit and I was handed the M4 and I was slightly befuddled.

^remember ironcomatose is a US Marine now.

Sounds good to me. That'll do.

To be honest, I've been on and off the forums and it was somewhat short notice for myself. I actually had a 4 day weekend from Saturday to Tuesday which was coincidentally when the stress test was being announced. I could have helped test for bugs in the build sooner (assuming that the files were available), but I was simply unaware.

It wasn't until Thursday that I took a browse (in the usually inactive) stress tester forum. That's when I noticed what was taking place. Personally, I think a simple PM message should have been distributed to known public testers, especially when some people are not anticipating a new release of PR.

Anyways. Usually people who have left their regular forum settings unchanged will naturally get an email sent to their normal address as a notification to receiving a Personal Message on the PR forums. I personally think this would be the prudent method to summon an adequate number of testers. Otherwise most people go about their daily routine and may overlook what is taking place.

It would have been easier too if the Stress Test occurred on the weekend as opposed to Wednesday and Thursday during the week.

Having played this new version for several days now, I can agree that this automatic sniper is spoiling the gameplay - it's way to powerful a weapon and can make things very one sided. 1 guy pined my squad down for nearly the whole match at one point and was beginning to get very annoying and almost made me quit the game after 6 deaths in a row with little chance of getting him down.

Please please please do something about this new addition.....

With out getting into the issues about it, that right there's kinda cool.

[Rudd]

The problem is recoil, I deployed the LMG scoped in while crouched or standing and I could just hold down click without any compensation and the weapon did not move from where I had clicked first time.

If PR is going down that route the Rifles etc should surely have access to this manipulation of the rules of physics

Pop smoke maybe? Anyways I have mixed feelings on the new AR. On one hand if you encounter an AR you should probably change your route. He should be able to cover out to 200m without much trouble. But the ability to unload an entire clip into a target the size of a SOCCER ball at 400m is a bit excessive. I think firing in bursts needs to be encouraged somehow, recoil might be the solution.

I do agree on that count, I'm fiddling with the recoil settings and animation..

[Jagular]

no overheat for so powerful weapon ?

oops got overheat in normal & deployed mode after 1.5mags out

[-=TB=-Tobakfromcuba]

remind aswell currently you can fire until overheat in undeployed mode-> change into deployed ->continue firing even with the sound of the overheated barrrel
