This is what I wrote down for those who did not watch the stream.
[QUOTE=nomad1;50139605]This is what I wrote down for those who did not watch the stream.[/QUOTE]
They also mentioned melon payouts will be unlocked again in Ball Race (next patch? can't remember)
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50139467]This please and then add all of the people that are hosting to it and include their server details.[/QUOTE]
On it.

If anyone here is good at setting groups up. it would be nice for you to step in.
Listening to the soundtrack on bandcamp makes me glad I got the audiophile tier and I can't wait to loop the minigolf menu theme.
Figured I'd set up a Discord while we were at it, as we were also talking about it when we played the other day:

Aslong as no one beat me to the punch that is.

I hope they plan to add dedicated servers for Ball Race, Planet Panic and Virus. They're unplayable with the pings I get right now
[QUOTE=ThatSprite;50142721]I hope they plan to add dedicated servers for Ball Race, Planet Panic and Virus. They're unplayable with the pings I get right now[/QUOTE]
Right now their priority is to make it better by letting the host with the best ping be the host instead of the first one joining.
So, no you won't see dedicated gameworld server setup like it was on GMT with Lobby -> Gamemode servers.
Before we grab our pitchforks however, the dev team is very busy right now so I could see why they rather deprioritize this.
However, do realize the dev team listen they work very hard to implement things that WE want. Make your voices heard if this is an issue that should be adressed!

Actually on pixeltail's forums it was confirmed that the host of the game world is the one with the best ping to the server already. Issue I'm seeing is they may have a great ping but not great hosting capabilities.

Home connections work terrible as game servers.
As a person who exclusively played PVP and Virus, I think a few things need to be fixed / changed for Virus in a pretty near future.
[b]Bugs[/b]
Somehow people are running around post round end, this allows them to infect people or kill infected as the score screen updates.
This has actually cost me two rounds as survivor so far, it's pretty annoying and it does effect the end payout.
[b]Annoyances[/b]
After using the hotkey for adrenaline, you need to press last weapon used to go back to the weapon you were previously using. Using the last weapon hotkey again just brings up the now useless adrenaline. (It used to be that after using the hotkey for adrenaline, it would auto-swap to your last used weapon.)
You need to wait to fully draw a weapon before you can quick select to another weapon. Please make it so you can switch while the animation is playing like in GMT.
Have an option to remove weapon movement. Static weapon placement is much easier in terms of motion sickness.

Bring back the Sniper Rifle please.

This is easy to replicate: when the round ends, hit escape to go to the menu and then go back in-game.
You can now move around freely and shoot/infect people to your heart's desire.
I just jumped on this game there now. Bit of a shame. It's already a ghost town.

There's not much to really do right now. It really was released way too early.
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;50145583]There's not much to really do right now. It really was released way too early.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Not going to throw in for a refund because of this reason, and hoping it has a future. There is potential but they've wasted their biggest way to bring an audience into the game (that being the release).
Two more things.
1. Rage infected needs to return, right now you either camp an area as the initial infected to infect others or the human team runs you down until you get lucky with a spawn or something.
2. I would suggest the next map to be Sewage, this is due to the unique playstyle Sewage had compared to Deserted or Hospital.
So this is the first game that ran on unreal engine 4 that i had to reduce the graphical settings to medium. it stressed my gpu to the point of freezing.
[U]Anyway. I'll be at the US facepunch server. if we want to gather up and play games or something.[/U]
Maybe not.

thats just because the only thing to do in lobbies is go to the theater and buy condo cosmetics. Everyone just goes straight to the games from the main menu
[QUOTE=ThatSprite;50146170]thats just because the only thing to do in lobbies is go to the theater and buy condo cosmetics. [B]Everyone just goes straight to the games from the main menu[/B][/QUOTE]
This is what scares me. The game is currently in a state where the lobby doesn't need to exist besides buying items for either yourself or your condo. Right now it's just a game with mini-games and the lobby part is a sub-thing.
In yesterdays Q&A stream someone asked if the games will be hosted by the dedicated server, they responded saying that they didn't have any plans to implement that because they plan to save the lobby you were previously connected to and have that as the lobby you will rejoin after the mini-game is done. It wasn't clear they will remove the ability to connect to mini-games via the main menu, but with what they're planning to do it seems the ability to do so will stay.
I'm probably thinking to much into this and it's probably too early to make judgments but I really don't like the direction the game is going in. It's kind of scaring me that a good game like this will turn into a dead game.
Eventually the lobby will have activities like fishing and bowling
Would have been better if the game hit steam with a few more features in the lobby in my opinion
Is increased payout based on how few strokes to the hole you do no longer happening in solo minigolf matches?
[QUOTE=nomad1;50146542]Is increased payout based on how few strokes to the hole you do no longer happening in solo minigolf matches?[/QUOTE]
I had that happen as well this morning, so it's not just you. Probably a bug.
EDIT: [URL="http://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/only-getting-paid-25-per-hole-minigolf/7419/9"]Getting mixed messages whether this is a bug or implemented to prevent farming.[/URL]
Looks like it's an error and will be fixed next update, which i'm glad because minigolf games are a hit or miss due to the ping counter not working so I end up joining random peoples games and ending up with 3 second input delay.
I love how quickly the devs are patching this game
I hope sheet music for Pianos will be in a near-future update i like messing around on it while i watch streams or something on my 2nd monitor
Quick tip to those of you struggling with Planet Panic, aim a little higher than your target and using space to jump over projectiles should help a lot.
