Guten Abend,
HeadBreaker hat am 31.10 im offiziellen Forum einen Einspruch zum Patch gepostet und uns aus der Seele gesprochen.
Wir haben Überstunden gemacht ("jetzt erst recht") und noch viel mehr Ungereimtheiten am Patch gefunden, bzgl. kosmetischer (switch ingame position for next round or m4 instead of m16 bug) aber auch spielerischer Natur:
Wir hatten es bei uns im Forum auf Englisch gepostet aber hier sicherheitshalber ein Auszug (damit die AA3 DEVs auch mitlesen können), wenn das nicht ok ist, bitte den Eintrag markieren!
Petition to Devs to Rollback (downgrade) because AA3 3.0.8.1 offers:
1) The Revive Bug: yesterday on SOF server 4 guys (all practised in reviving) failed on the same incapped mate in reviving
Straightforward explaination: To eliminate the gunface bug the DEVs just dont let the incapped player getting alive
2) Useless (empty) weapon bug:
New: you cannot fire and switch fire mode at once
Drawback: Switch single fire/burst mode (m16 tested) in certain running and/or nade switching situations you still can, but it will make your gun useless at all
3) Lag improvement:
Minimap update thread has now lower priority
4) Bullet lag, Beam bug, Server crash we dont know what is the reason for this, but it occures more often
5) Lean : new bug, you are nearly invisible for all players
6) good timed you can switch to nades immediately after round start and run (is it a feature?)
7) melee bug, in certain situations it is nearly impossible to melee an enemy
Since these improvements tackle the gameplay, why not make the 3.0.8.1 "improvements" as a server option, so the server admins can make their rules of its own.
Aiming experience report:
Yesterday (16 players, ping mean 110, sd 20)
Engagin one enemy from behind (taking a deep breath before shooting) failed, he noticed that someone shot him like 20 times and turned around and gave me an headshot. On next round I was spraying with the saw just by random in front of four enemies for an easy hawkeye (the last was engaging me with bad luck later). What a random bullet lag/luck fortune. Nowadays I will not try to aim at all in close distance, just running around him and then pump the bullets into the enemy if he is empty - seems enough.
Putting it all together: Where logic ends begins 3.0.8.1^^
I appreciate the Devs work, but imho they should give us some new maps instead of a new and even worse gameplay. AA3 has one of the best communities and the responsibility to the US Army to enforce tactical gaming and could lose both at once.
Proposal: Bring back the 3.0.8.0 It does reflect the opinion of some players in our clan, the FG (from France), the HT (Heat), the ToRo (Spain), the IFF (NL)...
Or shall we prepare for another game like COD7???
Best
