Keshi 436 Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone! We are having a patch on Thursday 9/6/2018. The maintenance will start a bit earlier then usual, 7AM UTC for the PC. We will be having extended downtime for Jericho and Han, which will last for 6 hours. Citadel will have normal downtime and will be down for 4 hours. This patch will include the following fixes: • Fixed an issue with sniper rifles that caused them to do less damage at max range than intended. • Updated the Prototype A and B District select images to better communicate they are special Districts. PS4 and XBOX will be having regular maintanance schedule on Wednesday 9/5/2018. Edited September 5, 2018 by Keshi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't, but Little Orbit has only been making announcement threads for the patch notes but no discussion thread where we can discuss this update. That's what @Keshi provided for us and he wisely also linked the official post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what @Keshi provided for us and he wisely also linked the official post Most of the time i find someone else doing it, and players just end up discussing about it. Weirdly today no one did it yet so i decided to do it lol But i linked the original post as well while others didnt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kukki 27 Posted September 5, 2018 And nothing about shotguns? This is absurd. The least that should be done, while "shotgun balancing is in progress" is a revert. The issue of how they became the ntec of close range may not be apparent in mission districts, where mid and long range weapons are often required and preferred, but it's quite clearly seen in Asylum which is notorious as a CQC map. In majority of my games I've played there, the top 6 players of each team are all using shotguns. The ones on the lower half of the scoreboard- not all of them play shotguns, so it's not that they're not as good, it's that no semi nor auto close range weapon can reliably contend with shotguns. That to me is a big red flag. When the change was announced, I assumed it'd fix the issues of hitreg and ghost shooting with shotguns, but if this is the best outcome is this really what we want? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should note, that in, for example, item hold games, which go on with item being in a wide open space for most of the mission, other weapons become relevant and scoreboard is then more varied. But in all other games, where most of the action is happening in closed, tight spaces, shotguns dominate and that's not good. How that translates into mission districts- for cqc objectives, shotguns become the only reliable choice and all other options become niche/off picks. Same as N-tec is/was the only truly reliable choice out of all the available star's and far's and in some cases even obeya's and obir's. Do you see what I mean? You can still use STAR or FAR for mid range and now OCA and Carbine for cqc, but in most cases you wouldn't when you'd feel that with n-tec/ shotgun you'd have better chances of opposing your opponent.
