N-tec bloom changes?

Recommended Posts

It is just me or does the N-tec's bloom seem a bit more than it use to?

Since when? If you're talking in like the last month then no. There have been no tweaks made the n-tec for quite some time now.

The bloom curve was disabled. It handles like it did before G1 went full retard with the curve system. This was changed months ago, but I can't find it in the patch notes. It was intended. It was part of the weapon balance district changes that got pushed to live.

Feel free to check for yourselves...

https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_AssaultRifle_NTEC

 

All data is pulled directly from the game files. 

Didn't they stop updating the DB because they could not access the files? How recently were these changed?

The old site http://apbdb.com/ stopped updating due to G1 slimming down the PC client. The new site https://db.apbvault.net has had the latest changes for the last 2 years.

They don't display the bloom curve mechanic on the site, which is probably why the change wasn't listed.

If the n-tec was changed, you would see a significant flux of threads most likely complaining about how it didn't need a change

Speed has access to all the current files.

(I guess I should say "vault" instead of DB maybe... cuz yeah apbdb is terribly out of date)

First page has multiple users complaining, and this was only the test districts: https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/3600-otw-817-balance-changes/

 

The accuracy adjustment made it to live from Test A.

those patch notes indicate that the accuracy over shots would remain the same, and the ntec at that time had a curve mechanic on the bloom

Like others I do not think there has been any change to the ntec bloom curve, but it looks like we will have to wait for @LO_Beastie to have a chance to weigh in before we can be sure.

Maybe it's the old IR3 that you are no longer used to "- Increases maximum reticle bloom substantially"

Probably. I just know one of those patches removed the bloom curve.
