Watching the Twitch now, can't believe Overload didn't know about Decoy's swapping ability. LOL, it's not only players then...

That was incredibly embarrassing. It's true that I haven't used Decoy since release instead favoring Cloak and more recently Overkill. Still though. I should have known! Shame deserved.

The links works but it gets stuck at begin for a long time.
BTW why Trion dont upload the videos to youtube? Twitch is sooo slow loading the videos... Takes me half hour to watch a 15 mins video on twitch...

Edited: In 60 minutes i was able to watch 25 mins of the video...

and more recently Overkill.

New ability Overkill??? You mean overcharge?

I think Twitch runs surprisingly well on my cell phone. Yesterday produced one of their better webcasts, IMHO.

Twitch was being weird - we're going to be highlighting out the three different segments but it wasn't working at home or work yesterday. Sometimes is does that.

From the live stream:

Sound issues

There has been a lot of discussion of the sound issues inside of arkfalls, you guys make a lot of noise. From a technical perspective there are only so many channels they can do. They have been definitely working on the priotization of those sounds, but in the face of lag and performance issues the sound is not the highest on our priority.

Frankly, it needs to be a priority, at least for the PS3 headset issues. Every time we use our headsets it increases lag, and makes the sound go out, not just just at arkfalls. It negatively impacts the gaming experience and is just plain frustrating.

Switch grenades easily?

We're not making a change to the loadout system just yet, because anything in your inventory can be smart loot dropping you will be able to run up to any dropped grenade and hold the pickup button and immediately swap to the grenade.

What happens if you run out of the grenades you have equiped and none have dropped? You go into your loadout screen, LAG, you try to change your grenade, LAG. All the while you're getting shot up by your enemies because Trion wants us to buy more scrip bonuses from them.

The rewards for emergencies are rather weak?

If you grind emergencies and the minor arkfalls, you should actually end up with higher scrip value than any other kind of content. Right now I am getting metrics to find out people who play in particular ways their profit margin.

If after we crunch the numbers that emergencies are still under performing we will bump those up, but for right now they should be scrip ones, salvage from arkfalls and xp from everything. You can actually get a suprising number of ark keys from completing the conflict sites (Events), the locations you fight in during the missions.

One of the things I rather liked about this game was that it didn't feel like a grind. Past tense there, because now apparently they want it to be a boring grind.
