From the official thread in the new HOT-TOPIC HEATSINK!

This should answer all questions here--and you should all check out the new subforum.


FROM GARTH:
We are currently assessing the increase in LRM/SSRM/SRM damage currently on the live production servers. Expect an official response later today. A hot fix is likely this week.

UPDATE: We will be pushing through a hot fix tomorrow at 10am PDT. Changes will be posted tomorrow.

UPDATE 2: We worked late into the night last night testing out some new values. The test build is currently being pushed to the test servers and we plan to bring down servers at 16:00 PDT (23:00 UTC) for a hot fix. Estimated downtime - 30mins.

sorry I'm only accepting community info in the form of Jack Bauer 24 timeline posts

There had to be SOME QA nightmare for this to happen. I mean, given the thing that broke was the very thing the patch was addressing - and it doesn't take much testing to see the problem.

My guess is they might have tried running it from a clean build, while the actual patch build didn't properly replace a statistic or something, causing the issue. That way QA saw the right behavior, and we're seeing the wrong ones. Still, they should have been running from patch builds too, not clean, for that very reason.

Care to comment on the rumor you all hate us and hope to steal our bank accounts right before sending all the money you raised to North Korea to fund Nuclear ICBM's? Oh and that the remaining game assets will then be retasked as Duke Nukem Online or possibly Bass Hunter Online: Revenge of Billy the Bigmouth. This of course because Dennis Rodman just bought IGP secretly to give games to his new buddy as a birthday present.

Lulz to the Mods/Dev mockage.

Been a hard day with the LRM patch and the 3rd person/Twitter/wikileak. Couple margaritas at lunch and they become downright chatty.

Lets not get caught up with who said what to whom...

Alright! It's getting a bit silly in here!

...and I like that.

It's happened, you've now all been sucked into an unified void under the name of Garth so that we may complain freely and without restraint because, as we know, Garth is to blame for everything.

I like this idea. Raven hit boxes... THANKS GARTH

Wow. Everyone.

They are aware of the issue.
And they are fixing it.
And they are in constant communication about it.
And (god save their miserable souls) they are trying to have some fun with it.
And it's BETA.

For the love of all that is heat-inducing...

Not good enough. We want you coming to every singles persons house and explain...IN DETAIL, on why you guys allowed this to happen and made me have to not have so much fun for two days. TWO DAYS. And something about ECM. Because that always needs to be thrown into any discussion for whatever reason.

I haven't been able to have fun playing this game since about 1/5

And they've made no effort to fix my 80% crash rate, though I have gone above and beyond to document it for them.

Why would they stoop to giving you details for your mere 2 days?

(24 intro) boop... beep... boop... beep The following occurs between 2:50PM and 4PM on the day of a hotfix.

2:52PM - Patch is on track and will be ready for deployment ~ 4PM.

I have also decided to not cut any wires on the nuke device. I will be standing at distance when Bryan cuts the blue wire. I'm going to try and time my update on LRM/SRM around the same time so my explosion is dwarfed by his.

BTW: Garth has no clue who Harvey Dent is or where he is.

I ain't sayin' nothin'.
