vsb 6171 Posted July 10, 2019 OVERVIEW Focused on additional fixes to RIOT with emphasis on improving the overall experience based on player feedback CHANGES/FIXES Added in 5 more contact levels for RIOT BETA with the new �Dragon� weapon skin as the reward for getting to Rank 10 Players now appear on the radar of the final zone of RIOT Players can no longer see opposing player names through a RIOT gas emitter or RIOT van Updated max survival revive cost in RIOT to $5,000 instead of $4,000 RIOT now always plays in peak daylight hours Arming a gas emitter in RIOT will not get interrupted when starting to arm during the last remaining seconds of having the arming code Fixed a bug related to arming a bomb during missions Minimum amount of players for RIOT is now 8 players RIOT now require 16 participating player in order to maintain pre-made teams Gas Masks equipped on respawn in RIOT now last 45 seconds (instead of 30) and have no cooldown when they expire (only on respawn) Arrests now correctly count as a single death in RIOT Improved HUD Messages for RIOT Spectating players are now reminded that their teammates can revive them in RIOT The message for when you are spectating in RIOT should now always be shown Players will now see their bribe amount, even if they are not leading Now correctly updates the winning bribe amount when a team that was leading the bribe is eliminated Added the title "Firecracker" The following guns now have permanent unlocks in the Joker Store Colby .45 AP now sells for 6,000 JT and 60,000 APB$ AR-97 'Misery' JT1 now sells for 6,000 JT and 60,000 APB$ AR-97 'Misery' JT3 now sells for 10,000 JT and 100,000 APB$ KNOWN ISSUES Dragon Weapon Skin does apply correctly to the N-TEC 5 weapon model Yakuza Weapon Skin does apply correctly to theISSR-a PR3 'Artemis' weapon model discuss? ---- my thoughts on these changes Quote Added in 5 more contact levels for RIOT BETA with the new �Dragon� weapon skin as the reward for getting to Rank 10 adding 5 more levels for one extra reward is just doubling a problem riot already had, especially if contact standing continues to increase every level Quote Players now appear on the radar of the final zone of RIOT this will certainly force people to actually play the final round, but i worry that it will further enhance the skill gap - no more sneaking up on players for surprise attacks Quote RIOT now always plays in peak daylight hours im curious why this was added, was there some issue with night matches that im not aware of? Quote Minimum amount of players for RIOT is now 8 players RIOT now require 16 participating player in order to maintain pre-made teams both good changes i remain skeptical of allowing premade groups at all tho Quote Gas Masks equipped on respawn in RIOT now last 45 seconds (instead of 30) and have no cooldown when they expire (only on respawn) good change, altho i think i would have preferred some work on the spawns themselves this will at least help Quote The following guns now have permanent unlocks in the Joker Store Colby .45 AP now sells for 6,000 JT and 60,000 APB$ AR-97 'Misery' JT1 now sells for 6,000 JT and 60,000 APB$ AR-97 'Misery' JT3 now sells for 10,000 JT and 100,000 APB$ nice to see the joker store changes getting such a quick follow up any eta/news on the new ways to gain JT? overall its good to see steady work being put into riot, but i have to wonder at what point does it stop being worth the time? we've already been told that the mode was mainly created as a practice run for the devs, does this still hold true when the systems created are already in place? im willing to try it (assuming riot doesnt remain dead on jericho) but i think the final zone radar change is for the worse - hide and seek may have been annoying but with the way that standing is rewarded (and i see no mention of changes to that) players are now forced to risk dying before the match ends and getting almost no standing, a problem only made worse by the addition of 5 more contact levels assumedly with higher and higher standing requirements 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zolerox 564 Posted July 10, 2019 " KNOWN ISSUES Dragon Weapon Skin does apply correctly to the N-TEC 5 weapon model Yakuza Weapon Skin does apply correctly to theISSR-a PR3 'Artemis' weapon model " Yep that is an issue. "does apply correctly" My favorite part is "RIOT now always plays in peak daylight hours" does that mean what i think it does? does it start by itself?

I think we decoded that it means there is not going to be a day/night cycle in the RIOT instances anymore Edited July 10, 2019 by Acornie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flaws 1033 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Good pick to add the Colby .45 AP. The rest is just... more riot? Really? It's already pretty exhausted no matter how much you polish and fix it. Players will flood it for the reward (if even) and then leave again back to missions and fight club. It's a lot more like a chore than a game mode to most of us (at least to me) and I think that focusing on the missions game mode has much higher potential success rates for bringing players back. Then again, it's what comes after 3.5 comes out that matters most, not any of this. Edited July 10, 2019 by Flaws 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelinux 51 Posted July 10, 2019 .45 for 6k JT seems like a great deal, I spent like 30€ on that thing... But let me guess, riot kills still don't count towards weapon roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurboBRCrim 29 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) JT Weapons added to the Joker Store: Keep them coming Fun fact is that people are playing more FC than RIOT because of the rewards. Also RIOT is still boring, some ideas: - increase the rewards with more JT, otherwise people will just join FC - Tweak it so that you have more action between the fights. Get rid of the arming device thing, make it automatically, more dynamic. Maybe some mines? Running around arming devices is not fun at all. - Buying your custom loadout is not good. The BR is supposed to be random. Don't have to mention that there are NTEC and OCA gods out there. I suggest you guys remove the custom loadout. Wanna play it? Go FC then.

GhosT 1301 Posted July 10, 2019 One reward for 5 contact levels is quite ridiculous if you ask me. All the previous contacts unlock 1 or even more items per level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
