PTE This Weekend

[Tosha.SP]

thank you thank you thank you finally
thank you a lot

hmm er... and what about the guns Op with the boosters in their guns? Like some machine guns of medics and assault

Or u do it realistic with all weapons or not... just few weaposn like the shotguns and those with boosters make it very unbalanced

[CropedFrag]

What about other Automatic Shotguns, like saiga, are they going to be nerfed, or just the USAS?

[road-runn3r]

Good job on the Usas but the pistol nerf is bigger than it should. I hope they check the feedback on the PTE and make the necessary adjustments before the update goes live.

How is the m9?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!! I love it because the USAS is getting worse )))))

[~PipooH~]

Agree nice update PTE server looks promising, I still don't get why they keep the Elite / Veterans ingame, they removed all of those from the primairy... why not remove them from the secundairy too, this way there is less to tweak and gets the game more balanced overall. Now there is still PaytoWin with the elite and veteran weapons, this is not what play for free stands for...

now get rid of all those boosters, and tweak the basic claymore / granades / Mortar, a damage increase of 25% on them is fine, the blast raduis/splash damage must not be touched or max increase of 5%.

they are still getting feedback from players, this means Saiga will eventually being changed too.
they still got 6 days untill the release on public server(if they keep there promis).

[ColossalObelisk]

I really hope that the 870 Combat is still usable for medium range.

Why do they have to tone down the damage for pump-action shotguns?

@ USAS-12 Users you will now need to learn how to properly play a FPS game. Deal with it. The USAS-12 was a game breaking mistake, perpetuated by strong sales. If you didn't see the nerf coming your not very perceptive.

There are still differences between the versions however I do think they should remove the different versions, it's a crappy system anyways (in my opinion).

- Pump Shotguns

o Cluster deviation improved from 2.6 to 2.3

They are even a tiny bit better so don't worry.

However, aren't the long-range damage for Shotguns reduced? Even if it is a pump-action Shotgun?

I didn't understand from the beginning why they made 3 defrent versions of 1 weapon... this only ask for unbalance and make the game more PayToWin instead of PlayForFree. One of the reasons i decided to play other FPS game, game is no longer a PlayForFree game its all about who got the most money, and i don't like that in a game(if its free or not).

Nope, no damage reduction on pumps.

Sounds like you're leaving the SAIGA-12 the way it is, and it's more OP then the USAS atm -.-

Starting this Friday (3/31) we will host the latest weapon tuning patch on our PTE servers. This release features balance changes to the pistol and shotgun weapons and incorporates the feedback from those excellent players who joined in on our PTE test last weekend. Based on your feedback we have done the following changes:

Shotguns
Long Range Damage reduced

Cluster-Spread increased for all USAS versions

Increased USAS recoil

Reduced USAS Ammo

Normal: 6 round mag

Veterans: 8 Round mag

Elite: 10 round mag


Pistols
Long range damage significantly reduced

Shots To Kill at long range – 25+ meters

Head Shot: 3+

Body Shot: 8+


The purpose for this latest PTE play session is to let all of you have a chance to try the new weapon balance before it goes live next week. We will also collect any additional feedback on weapons for use over the next series of gameplay balance releases.

Cheers,
-HATE

I hoped the recoil on the USAS would be more wobbly, but this one goes upwards, being more rewarding as you can hit 2 bodyshots and one headshot, which has no big difference from before.

It is, however, weaker when it comes to range.

Currently, the most powerful are Spas-12 and M1911 (once again).
