Operation White Noise - Mid-Season Reinforcements Patch Notes 4.2 PATCH NOTES Patch 4.2 will be deployed to the TTS on Thursday, January 11th. As with most Mid-Season Reinforcements, we have a collection of Operator changes that are coming, particularly for a couple of fan favorites (or nemeses). Deployment on the live servers will come after we have had a chance to review the feedback from the TTS. BALANCE CHANGES Ela’s SMG will have a reduced magazine size We have decided to lower the magazine size of her SMG from 50 to 40 bullets. Game Designer notes: Ela overpowers her competition. Players select her almost every round, and for a good reason. All of the data we have on her (such as win ratio, K/D ratio, and Kills per round) shows that she needs to be nerfed. We have found this to be primarily because of her SMG and to a lesser extent her concussion mines. The recoil of her SMG was already nerfed slightly with Y2S3.2, but this did not have the impact that we hoped. For now, we’re trying to balance her while keeping her SMG’s uniqueness, which lets her fight several opponents at a time better than other defenders. We will consider other ways of nerfing this weapon if this is not enough. In addition to the reduced magazine size, we will be reducing the overall strength of concussion effects across the board. Reduction in Concussion effects With Y2S4.2 patch, concussion effects will no longer disable sprinting. It will still reduce movement speed and camera rotation speed, but affected targets will recuperate much faster (4 sec, instead of 7 sec). The effect on sight and hearing will still last a total of 7 sec. Game Designer notes: This change will affect both Ela and Zofia. We believe this will most heavily impact Ela, as Zofia also has impact grenades to rely on for increased effectiveness. Compared to other gadgets of this nature, the concussion effect is superior in almost every way: it greatly affects movement speed, massively slows down rotation speed, and also reduces a player’s ability to hear and see. Ash’s R4-C nerf We reduced the damage of the R4-C to 39 (from 41). Weapon Damage R4C V2 Game Designer notes: Ash is still a pick that is too attractive when compared to other attackers. We’ve compared her most popular weapon (R4-C) to other assault rifles stats and given the R4-C’s very high rate of fire (860), its damage is a bit too high. *We are aware of a visual issue with Suppressed damage not displaying properly in the Menu. The values in-game are true to the table above. Capitao’s Para-308 buff We increased the Para-308’s raw damage is to 48 (from 43). We also slightly reduced the intensity of the random components of its recoil. Weapon Damage Para V2 Game Designer notes: Capitao right now is not attractive enough. His gadget suffers from a few issues that will need long-term solutions, but in the meantime, it’s clear that his main assault rifle is too weak. *We are aware of a visual issue with Suppressed damage not displaying properly in the Menu. The values in-game are true to the table above. Twitch’s Shock Drone Ammo We reduced the max ammo for each Shock Drone to 5 (from 15). Game Designer notes: Twitch right now is too strong. There are several possible reasons, one of them being that her drones have the potential to deny an unreasonable amount of electronics from defenders. We feel that this change will force players to start making choices about when to shoot or to save their ammo, and which Defender gadgets to destroy. Bandit’s barbed wire Bandit will now have two barbed wire (down from 3). Game Designer notes: Even if Ela has eclipsed Bandit’s pick rate, players still pick him too often. Reducing the number of barbed wires he has should bring him more in line with other Defenders. Lesion’s Gu Mine refill timer We lowered Lesion’s Gu Mine refill timer to 30 sec (from 35). Game Designer notes: Lesion is in an OK place right now, but could use a slight buff. By reducing the refill timer, it will encourage his specific playstyle of staying alive as long as possible to increase the strength of his defensive gadget. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Temporal Filtering The T-AA has been fully implemented. As part of this, the Resolution Scaling and Sharpness Factor slide bars are in the Options menu. With render scaling, you will be able to customize the ratio between render resolution and display resolution, which will allow you to maintain your target framerate. For example: Table More details about Temporal Filtering and Anti-Aliasing can be found here. Bomb UI Changes We changed the player markers for players that are interacting with the Defuser. When a teammate is interacting with the Defuser, a new animation icon appears on the player. If your teammate is in the process of disabling the Defuser, you will also notice a new animated icon on that player. The new animated icon should make it easier to identify which teammate is currently interacting with the Defuser. Additionally, once the teammate plants the Defuser, the progress of the Defuser replaces the round timer. These are the first steps we are taking towards improving the Bomb game mode, and we will have more information about our next steps at the Six Invitational! Caster Camera improvements We will be making some adjustments to the Caster Camera. These adjustments will improve the viewer experience for those watching the spectator camera, but also provide them with more information in a more digestible format. You can see a screenshot of the new UI here: CasterCamera BUG FIXES GAMEPLAY FIXED – Shield exploit that involves Deployable Shields being held in front of an Operator.

[MENTION=507]manigamer[/MENTION] its not hard to unlock operators but if ur ply time is one game a week than its a different story.
I'm on transworld, and even though when connected to seas it says 98Ping on the top right, in-game i get 220 =/So that's why shifted to WEU. Its a routing issue, but couldn't traceroute to Azure's servers, so can't complain properly to Transworld. =/
[MENTION=23398]humayunh[/MENTION] These days same case is with me... well almost same.. I get like 80-90 ms ping in data center but in game ping fluctuates to 150ms. But I think this is due to internet problem in Pakistan. Packet loss is too much. Also I used to play on weu on 180ms average. But now it goes up to 400ms, but thats after ubisoft update few months ago.
[MENTION=5405]its Me[/MENTION] yeah reducing taser i guess no biggie.. unless her shotgun or some weapon is nerfed... taser is i guess fine. though i do annoy ppl with it like three shots and ur down 50percent health damnyeah 25k for new operators im like 6k renown lol i want caviela

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
