Patch Notes 5/29


The following patch will go live at 3AM on May 29:


1) MAX armor sometimes got stuck in a situation where it could not reload ammunition. This is resolved.

2) Storm fronts are much larger now, increasing the chance that you'll actually see weather in-game.

3) Base experience for killing players has been increased from 50 points to 100 points. Other variables increase the values from there (type of armor, weapons carried, how long since last respawn), but the base value has been doubled. Battle Experience should increase correspondingly for kill situations.

4) A large optimization to the way we process objects has been made. This should significantly improve framerate when near facilities and large battles.

5) The Striker no longer has the "raytrace from your kneecap" issue and now does its raytrace from the muzzle of the weapon, thus preventing LOS issues that shouldn't occur.

6) If the gunner bails on a Magrider, the driver will no longer be left in a situation where he cannot drive the vehicle.

7) There is now a "Location" column on the Server Selection screen. This is used instead of the old parenthetical description in the server names so that you can easily sort servers by location. For instance, what was once "Markov (US West)" is now just "Markov" and there is a "US West" description in the Location column.

8) There should no longer be a way to get out of the Options screens without first encountering a "Do you wish to save these changes?" dialog box. This prevents players from thinking they've saved their options without them actually being saved.

9) The weather clouds now show up properly when a storm front moves into view.

10) First-time experience rewards are reenabled (without the exploit potential).

11) Several zone crash issues are resolved. Server stability has been increased dramatically.

Yeah, but now the nerf posts will really start coming in.

My suspension "should" be done today. I've got 13days before I have to be at my unit so I'm gonna take a little time and run some tests on the AV weapons. Gonna do hvy wpns too at some point.

At least you're around somewhere. Make a thread about it on PSU as well as the official boards if you do the tests please. Going to the official boards hurts my brain.

I love the weather things....WEATHER IS GREAT! Also, the Striker fix has been needed for a long time so I'm happy about that.

No worries there. I'm not posting on the SOE boards again. I'm afraid if I do they'll suspend me again. I'll be using this forum for all my work and someone else can put it on the SOE boards.

More weather

More XP per kill It is a start to the process anyway. Is that retroactive based on all our previous kills as well?

Yeah, it is a something in relation to exp. I still think the simplest thing would be to not divide the exp in a sqaud.


Weather sounds nice. I really like the rainstorms and the lightning is sweet.

Overall alot of good changes. Just that great big thing called exp pulling the gameplay down still.
