Ah [edited]i knew it! I saw Flamu playing on PTS lately, and i saw the Bloom staying on max despite him being undetected. stupid WG... that was a GREAT change... (pic from Flamus stream, concealment is max despite him being not detected, he was undeteced for some time already at that point, thats why i spotted it) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only 3 seconds if unspotted was the best change they made to mechanics in a long time. Not only is 8.0 a broken patch but it will actively be regressing the game as well 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] Mr_Tayto Players 1,099 posts 10,119 battles Report post #13084 Posted January 2, 2019 Drat, I also think that was a great change. I got Insurgency: Sandstorm the other day, and it's ace. I guess I'll see how the rework is in practice and if it ends up being as bad as everyone fears, that's the end for me too. It's been a fun three years, though.

[CHEFT] ForlornSailor Players 7,374 posts 11,735 battles Report post #13086 Posted January 2, 2019 Why? WHY? Why do you reverse from that 3-sec-rule? Where is the explanation for that? Why you keep changing such vital elements of the game back and forth? Why do you reverse it, when the community took it positive and obviously thought, it was a good change? I dont understand these kind of decisions? Can you give us any details, why this has been done, because I cant figure it out? @MrConway @Crysantos please? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goodbye RN DDs, it was fun while it lasted. I dont think (hope?) they mean it like that. Gunbloom only stays on maxmimum (if you sit in smoke then its what 2,xkm?) if you are spotted by the time you are shooting. Up till a couple of patches ago, the gunbloom always stayed on max for 20 secs even when noone was spotting you anymore. If you never were spotted, the gunbloom always returns to normal detection after 1-2 secs. But the change made it possible, f.e. you shot while moving behind an island, and even if you got spotted, the gunbloom would get canceled after noone could spot you anymore. Imo it was a reasonable and good change. By the same logic, why does gunbloom ever reset if noone is spotting you? Then it could be at max all the time even if noone ded see you shoot. That would basicly be what you fear whats gonna happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
