Similar to the Monthly Dev Update that has gone unanswered this month, I (and others) want this particular question answered.

Quote

Banditman: In the current build, when you set your advanced options to low, you gain a significant tactical advantage over those who set them to maximum, outside of the FPS increase at lower settings. To wit: with lower settings, you can see opposing mechs at much greater distances due to the way your CryEngine implementation chooses to cull distant assets.
This seems completely contrary to common sense. It seems to me that greater image fidelity should yield a tactical advantage if anything does. As it stands now, you are encouraging your most competitive players to lower their image fidelity in order to maintain equal footing with their opponents.
What does PGI intend to do to address this issue?
A: I’ll have to ask Matt to do a write up.


The question is important in competitive play and to an extent, balance. So, I would like this writeup to appear soon within reason.

Ever wonder why people seem to be able to see you through buildings? Well its mainly because of this exploit.

FYI, the AtD was posted a month ago. I sincerely hope it doesn't require me to actually ask in the next AtD to get a response that was missing that much longer. I don't expect this response to be immediate... I'm only saying that there was a month difference that should kinda be accounted for in terms of a timely response.

That means you have at lease another month + to wait on that write-up maybe a little more.

Since I know my question isn't going to be answered in the upcoming AtD... it's worthy of putting some pressure on this issue, that has yet to be addressed.

This thread has not been answered UNTIL a command chair post, or equivalent post (an actual dev post) has been made in response to this issue.

I would think, at the low end settings, that the overall clip plane would be reduced, for both actor (PC/NPC) and general clip plane.

Imagine if he never asked him. That would be on par of the communication PGI has with the July CTD....

Lol yeah. I know what Niko's statement is about. I cover my back like that in parts department all the time when I forget to order parts, then get questioned about them a couple days later. My response: "Uhh yeah, they said a week delivery, so next week." - Whew, good thing parts are actually only 1-2 days away! Better make out that PO# now...

Hopefully Niko reminds Bryan to ask Matt about that write up soon... Or Santa's naughty list is ganna get 3 names bigger.. :P lol.



So the part department translation of Niko's response is..

I really hope Bryan told Matt.... I really hope Matt didn't forget.
*quickly types up a memo for Matt's inbox.* It reads: "Hey Matt, did Bryan get a hold of you about that follow up question in ATD40? The community just built a Blacksmith , working on a Tannery, and already have upgraded their axes to pickaxes to mine ore... We don't have much time."

lol. I'm kidding PGI.... but i know you're scared with how well I know you... *maniacal laugh*

Is this writeup even confirmed to be written in the first place?

I was ninja hoping that this would get answered in the AtD (but, clearly I didn't get enough votes)... passing this along does not mean a confirmed "we will have a response soon".

Bump.

I did see the original poster of the question repost their same question in AtD44, only to not get revoted enough to receive the Dev's attention.

Again, this is a serious issue, that did not originally get an answer to... so, this isn't resolved by any stretch of the imagination.
