That is it?????
Wow WTF.
Meh broke game is still broke game, lol.

Good try CCP.

September 17th can not come fast enough.

When will the patch go live?

These bugs were clientside bugs. Clientside can only be patched with a title update (AKA Uprising 1.3)

Well no shit. What do you expect from monthly updates.

This update was said to be small a while ago. 1.4 will be larger then this one.

Just like every other patch CCP does not put up every fix that's in a patch in the patch notes. The performance will very likely go up (Not by a huge margin but better)

I can shoot people just fine, what exactly do you want "fixing" with the aiming? What's wrong with throwing in a few little aesthetic alterations along with all the other internal changes?? You guys are just too f*cking picky and need to enjoy the game for what it is. The game's awesome and is only getting better all the time.
Thanks CCP, keep up the great work!!

This^^^ lmfao can't wait for that day either... And these patch notes really depress me, because they still aren't addressing anything remotely close to fixing the problems, only a slight nerf to the flaylock pistol, and still absolutely nothing done for vehicles at. all.

Yes because the flaylock was way too powerful. (It will still be better then the scrambler and SMG.... Well not the scrambler if you can use it right...)

an over 25% nerf across the board is "slight"?

Monthly update.

so, sorry for coming across as a noob but everyone keeps complaining about aiming. What exactly is wrong with aiming? Please tell me because 1) I don't see anything wrong with it and 2) I can't find a single thread that actually explains the issue rather than just complain.

P.S. I like the update.

Ok. I've moved the bug in to my lair where it will remain hidden for now :-)

You can blame the players who asked CCP to fix the core mechanics of the game. Also bringing more content will only add even more bugs. They NEED to iron out the core gameplay before they go all out on new content.

I would love new content too, but until CCP have made the core gameplay very good I think they shouldn't try to make too much content. They should still add little bits of new content but their main focus should be making this game balanced and making it run smoothly with at least near perfect aiming or this game will never make it as a FPS.

yes. :-)

CCP have stated that the 1.4 patch will be a vehicle balancing patch.

Hi guys,

I see a bunch of different things being mentioned here so I thought IGÇÖd quickly let you know whatGÇÖs going on with them.

Amount of stuff in 1.3 GÇô This was an intentionally short release to give us a trial run of the new processes we have put in place to be able to deliver updates to you faster. ThatGÇÖs why it might feel a bit GÇÿlightGÇÖ. 1.4 is the 'correct' length and consequently will have more stuff.

Aiming GÇô Aiming was worked on throughout 1.3 laying the foundations for the work me and Remnant are currently doing on it for 1.4. There simply wasnGÇÖt enough time to get it all ready and tested for 1.3. The pad and the mouse will be getting an update, testing is going well. IGÇÖll have a dev blog about this soon with more details.

Vehicle tuning and 1.4 GÇô work on this has started. However we donGÇÖt want to just make small patches and tweaks here and there as we have in the past. We need to take a full pass on vehicles/turrets/modules as a whole. This as you can imagine is a lot of work. It is a priority for us but donGÇÖt expect to see significant updates until 1.5. We need a good chunk of time to get through it all..

Murder Taxis GÇô For 1.4 weGÇÖve updated the vehicle/infantry collision and damage system. I retuned the damage completely the other day and so far in my small tests itGÇÖs feeling a lot better. WeGÇÖll be testing it in our internal playtests this week so we can see how it holds up with more players.

Other bits and bobs - There is also work underway on matchmaking, AFKing and red lining. IGÇÖm not working on the matchmaking so I canGÇÖt provide you with details there right now. IGÇÖll be involved with the redline and AFK stuff this week so IGÇÖll give more info on that soon.

Cheers

I'm not talking about just balance. I'm talking about the core gameplay meaning aiming, hit detection, physics of the game, solid 28 FPS (AT LEAST), fixing game breaking bugs, fixing the sticky terrain, improving on movement, optimizing the games code to help performance, and plenty of other things. Also adding new content takes quite of bit of time which means we would have to wait quite a while to fully balance the game. Also CCP are always going to add new stuff that they will need to balance. Waiting for all your content to be finished before balancing is just a horrible idea.


Also Game design is VERY different then having some programming experience. I would know since I'm in college ATM for game design.

The updated collision system will push infantry to the side of the vehicle rather than just pushing them along in front of it. The vehicle will be able to carry on going. Now you will have to be going very fast to do serious damage.

It's good enough for now in my opinion.

Three Questions Wolfman

This update seems a little relaxed when compared to 1.1 and 1.2, and Im not unhappy with the changes but I would like to know where some things stand.

Is there any work being done to rebalance or potentially add new variants to the Plasma Cannon and Laser Rifle? Theyre both under utilized and under performing atm.

Also, is there any changes being worked on for weapon skills, like what was done for the Flaylock, that are virtually useless?

A good example is Plasma Cannon Ammo Capacity, which at level four gives 10.8 rounds and level five which gives 11.25 rounds, both rounding off to two additional rounds. Issue with this is that itsabsolutely pointless to get that skill to level five and its just wasted SP. Another good example is Scrambler Pistol Fitting Optimization.

Last One thats important: Where are the ISK variants for the contact grenades?

Bonus question

Hows that Burst SMG coming along

CCP have stated that the 1.4 patch will be a vehicle balancing patch.

Ok then?

Wolfy,

could you go into detail about the aiming fixes

What did you change/ fix

You're my favorite dev now. Also will hit detection be improved as well?
