Patch Notes Discussion - Patch 1.010

[Sanguinesun]

Area voice chat on by default? Wait.. what.. I never.. I mean... can I have whatever they are smoking, I want to see pink unicorns as well! So we are to hear breathing, crying children, couples fighting, parents aggroing.. like.. EVERYWHERE? The first damn thing Im gonna do after the patch is to turn off voice chat and I hope it saves between logins..

Also, no mention of fixing the whispers, among other chat related bugfixes?

It is obvious the developers 100% want chat to be forced on players first to then opt out otherwise because in their grand scheme of thinking that they think this should be the best thing since digital watches.

I've one simple cure:

Put sledge, dahanse, and oveur in an area with people's voip on and with:

1. A screaming baby in the background.
2. 6 perverts, 2 to a Trion-er, one of each gender, teasing and talking to them provocatively.
3. 10 raging players cussing and screaming into their mics over things
4. 1 loud version of each of the following songs all overlapping each other: Orinoco Flow by Enya, Mississipi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens, any random justin beiber song, and Monty Python's "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me".
5. 2 religious nuts not only prostelyzing but also debating with each other.
6. 1 preteen arguing with his mother.
7. 1 30 something basement dweller arguing with his mother.
8. One overweight female gamer rambling on about her steampunk cosplay convention plans.
9. One gamer asking over and over "can anyone hear me?"
10. 20 odd gamers mouth breathing heavily, munching on snacks, burping the the wizard of oz "Oh wee oh! OooOooh! And just having conversations of any other thing.


Force Oveur, Sledge, and Dahanse to endure this for 12 hours: non stop.

We'll have chat off by default in miliseconds after they're done and most other bugs fixed most likely too. :P

It seems that this voice chat always on decision was made with consoles in mind, so the simple solution would be to make it always on for consoles, and always off for PC's. Would consoles even be using text chat in the first place?

The fact is that for consoles, their default mode of communication is voice, but for pc its text, and this should be reflected in the game. They can't just pump out the same game for all three platforms and expect it to work.

They should really, really stop pushing the VOIP on the PC. NO ONE wants an in-game VOIP, ever, anywhere, in any circumstances. Those that want to talk and hear people use TS/Vent/Mumble. It's a waste of dev time to do anything to it on the PC, just effin get rid of it and make the chat be always up. Sheesh, when will devs realize that no one on the PC CARES at all about in-game VOIP.

Completely agree with you. I can't understand this at all and means that turning it off is another step to go through before being able to play.

Leveling up vehicles now provides ego points.





What about all the people who already leveled up there vehicles? Is that just lost ego points?

+1 for me . I would like to know as my atv is almost maxed out

At this point I still reading the blog post enjoying the complete absence of the words "our fans" "entitlement" and "vocal minority".

Not trying to hijack a thread, but, post your VOIP vids and horror stories here.

All seems good to me. Could have added a loot drop from bosses in co-op mode but apart from that sounds like they are listening to the general concerns of the players.

pondering if those updates on Ego from cars will be retroactive for people who already leveled up their cars quite a bit like me with level 11 on my rollers.

Sawed off Shotguns had their damage reduced, which takes away their only positive. one shot, then a long reload time, means it should have higher dmg than other shotguns.

I dunno if this has already been answered, but is this huge patch, the one Nathan talks about in his blogs, the one that were meant to be getting Monday or Tuesday?
