Any details on "warping" and "walling"?

Warping - When players can see zeds seem to teleport in front of them
Walling - When players can block AI that is targeting somebody else with their body

Balance:
  • First pass of live player skill tracking system Game Conductor
    • Game Conductor is online watching live play - It does not make any gameplay changes at this time


    • I'm a lil confused here. By 'watching live' you mean it is a system that only observes/records/tracks online sessions - or you actually meant something similar to a spectate system?

Think of the Director from L4D. You don't see it, but it controls how infected spawn to make things easy/harder depending on player health, ammo, progress speed, etc.

Tripwire is doing the same thing, however right now it is only watching... 2spooky4me

Whats the plan with balancing Demo in general, really difficult to get into, what about the C4 damage reduction? What are your plans also on buffing the UP AK12?

Also, why is zed teleporting on minor zeds still a thing? I though it was removed, but only seems so for the major zeds (SC and FP) and bosses. Also, speaking of FPs, how are the plans going for balancing the mechanics on the raging?

For how long you will hold the Game Conductor on "study" mode? Are we going to see it live before the release of the Sharpshooter?

I haven't seen any improvements to pathing or zerk walling so far, although it sure does seem like Hans has been buffed... I used to be able to beat him solo on 6P HOE and now I can't beat him solo on suicidal with just a couple of teammates...

I'm only guessing, since this is completely new, that it's in to collect data to see how well it responds, what it responds to, and what it would do if given the power so that these things can be adjusted before being enabled.

UT99 had adaptive skill option for bots that worked but not very well. If your k/d ratio was too high or you had a lot of kills in a short time the bots would all turn godlike. A couple minutes of you getting destroyed they go down to beginner/noob. It was interesting but turned out being another system for players to dance around given how sensitive the metrics were and the severity of the response.

  • Gunslinger - changed how Uber Ammo skill works so dualies will not run out of ammo during Uber Ammo


General:

Any update on the broken Paris grass material for the SDK & custom maps?

If map designers redo the Material settings & re-build/release- will the grass material display properly again?

Address = 0x4074ec17 (filename not found)

Ye I get this appearing on my server with my gameinfo mod on it after v1023. I don't think it actually does anything (the mod still works fine and I can connect to the server just fine), but I was wondering what file it is that the server can't seem to find...

It looks like we currently have no plans to make any changes to camera shake at this time.

I would kindly like to ask you guys to reconsider. Balance is important absolutely, but a lot of people have talked about how bad the camera shake is. I don't claim to know how difficult it would be to remove but imo it would be a very nice quality of life change.

Also, thanks for all the communication.

Some people seem to be more sensitive to it than others - it's certainly there, though.

I barely noticed it until I read so many complaints about it... :D

ever played as zerker? hitting something makes it shake a lot, thus impossible to hit the enemy precisely.

I hope they gonna add an option to disable it ( every game has it ) or a mod that would remove it completly.

Zerk is the perk I play the most - it doesn't bother me at all.

I have no complaints regarding precision to speak of. I am acknowledging the shake is present, like I said in my previous post.

It just doesn't bother me.
