All Points Bulletin: Reloaded V8 - when are they gonna nerf stun guns? - Games

Okay, but why did I then find that post from 2010 with the same guy? :v: They might have had him stored for later use, then injected him into the client only just now.

[QUOTE=Campin Carl;40969114]After some googling, Nocturnal isn't new at all. Nocturnal is part some UK hiphop band/group that seems like it was supposed to show off how good the music mixing in this game is.

I think it would be cooler if one of our contacts was like the brood, only instead of at the top of a parking garage, they're at the top of a skyscraper. And instead of being gangsters, they're all representatives of the weapons companies that deal to Enforcers, Obeya, Somatic, and Agrotech.

I think having common contacts would be a cool idea too, having both Enforcers and Crims working Joker

[QUOTE=Woovie;40950147][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OAvL0xa.png[/IMG] So. 4 golds against 8. Call for backup twice and we get 1 silver each time. Literally the worst backup system that's ever been made. I could code a better backup algorithm overnight. Really. It's not that fucking hard. I just gave up and started going for kills.[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter how good your matchmaking algorithm is, unless it rips gold players out of their own missions just to help you, or magically produces them from thin air it won't make a difference. You got what was available at the time. Tough luck.

[QUOTE=Campin Carl;40969030]Isn't Spygirl one of the old SPPD contacts that were scrapped? There was atleast in one of the old group shots a James Bond looking dude and matching girl standing close to eachother and they were apparently scrapped characters. On the other hand, having a spy character in either Financial or Asylum would be cool for enforcers I guess. Nocturnal and Sam are probably new Joker ticket vendors for Social. Sam is probably for a 4th of July event.[/QUOTE] Spygirl wasn't a scrapped contact, rather she was a marketing character alongside "Slick Spy" and the others [t]http://static.squarespace.com/static/518e2722e4b02aeff5d488b6/518e4d0fe4b0e86c5961a2e7/518e27f0e4b011835dc88f9b/1368270854312/marketing_v1_10males01.jpg[/t] [t]http://static.squarespace.com/static/518e2722e4b02aeff5d488b6/518e4d0fe4b0e86c5961a2e7/518e27f0e4b011835dc88f95/1368270853149/marketing_v1_10males02.jpg[/t] [t]http://static.squarespace.com/static/518e2722e4b02aeff5d488b6/518e4d0fe4b0e86c5961a2e7/518e27f0e4b011835dc88f9c/1368270853628/marketing_v1_10females01.jpg[/t] [t]http://static.squarespace.com/static/518e2722e4b02aeff5d488b6/518e4d0fe4b0e86c5961a2e7/518e27f0e4b011835dc88f93/1368270852168/marketing_v1_10females02.jpg[/t] Trick and Treat are also Escaped Convict and Old Cop, with pumpkin heads.

Patch coming tomorrow. It's not going to be 1.12 (Scaleform UI and that jazz) Also, more info about 1.12 and 1.12.1 [quote=Jotunblut] New front end, elective spawning are coming in 1.12.0. [/quote] [quote=Jotunblut] We've got a long standing feature request coming in for 1.12.1 that we've not spoken about so far. [/quote]

I can't comprehend what takes them so long to push patches. I help the devs of MTA:SA and we can push patches with major changes in what feels a much shorter amount of time. Then again, we have nightly builds and almost all features are testable without a large playerbase. It just feels like with how minor some of their changes are, it sure does take a long fucking time for patches to come out.

We're dealing with a sub-par team of developers who had their original game/ground work complete along with additional resources for them. I don't know what the hell their deal is, but to me it looks like there is some lack of direction with RP. They always announce something, forget about it for a few months and then release only half of what they originally talked about.

It's not about them being sub-par, but what they have to deal with. They are working on an extremely messy UE3 which has halfway been merged with another version at the time, patches take so excruciatingly long because they still have to deal with limitation from the 2007~ era [editline]12th June 2013[/editline] Patch notes [quote] Release Notes WEAPON: Balance tweak to the N-SSW that lowers it's hard damage very slightly. VISUAL: Fixed an issue that could cause graphical corruption on the small weapon crates. [/quote] The hard damage reduction seems to be completely negligible, apparently. We'll see

[B]INTRUDER ALERT! CRIMINAL SPY IS IN THE BASE![/B] Apparently the 1.12 OTW patch notes were leaked. There's so much tasty stuff in there. But after closer inspection it appears that they might be false. Investigations are ongoing

Post 'em anyways!

Searched Pastebin for "Elective Spawning" aaaaaaand: [URL]http://pastebin.com/iemTKkEV[/URL] [QUOTE]1.11.3 --> 1.12.0 (current OTW notes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FEATURE: New elective spawning system. With this version we will introduce this new addition to the game. From now players can choose where they want to spawn after they died on an opposed mission. The system will let you choose between 5 different spawn points. After your death you have 10 seconds to choose your spawn. If you don't choose a spawnpoint and additional timer appears for 5 seconds. After additional 5 seconds you will be spawned. If you dont choose a spawn point, the system will randomly choose on for you. Furthermore all cars now have a special modification which will allow players to spawn in cars. PLEASE NOTE: In VIP missions the VIP will not be able to use the new system. FEATURE: New Fight Club map! With 1.12 we will introduce a new fight club district. It's called UIDistrict. (more information soon) FEATURE: New Contacts in Financial. Gumball for Criminals and Aletta Cadagan for the Enforcers. Contact Details and Rewards: Gumball • Located in (not chosen yet) in Financial • G-Kings contact (Criminal) Aletta Cadagan • Located in (not chosen yet) in Financial • Prentiss Tigers contact (Enforcer) Both take players Rank 235 to 255 Rewards per level (in order) • Field Supplier - Shielded: A field supplier which increases player health by 100% when deployed. • Epinephrine Injector: An Epinephrine Injector allows you to drastically increase your sprinting speed for a few seconds. It doesn't, however, come without some major sideaffects, and you are rendered much weaker for the duration. • Dolton Fresno D 400 • Mobile Supply Unit - On Move: this modification allow players to reload their ammo while on move with a car. • +2 Songs Inventory Space • Air Control: Increases air control by +400% • Charge Sentinel CS904 • Muffler: When you equip this vehicle modification your car will be invisible on the enemies radar. • +1 Outfit Slot • Dolton Montane D 430 • Detonation Pack: The ultimate nade for you all. Put this detonation pack on a car, spot or somewhere else and hit the fire button. Signal radius is 65m. detonation timer is set to 5 seconds. If you hit the fire button the enemy will hear a special sound to be informed, that there is a detonation pack out there. • +1 Themes Inventory Space • N-SSW NFCP 2 • Muzzle Break (Vertical): This recoil compensator takes gases produced by the weapon and directs them upwards, reducing vertical recoil at the expense of horizontal. • +1 Equipment Slot • Field Supplier - Fast Resupply: Reload your ammo faster with this charachter modification. • Guilt: This vehicle modification increases the ramming and collision damage of your car by +100%. The damage form Bullets and Explosions will ne increased by +20% • Bishada Rapier Sport S4 / Patriot V20 Super 4A • Bishada (Enforcer) / Jericho (Crimes) + Gear There we have it so far. We will update this patch notes as soon as we have more changes ready for you to test. [/QUOTE]

Three different resupply unit upgrades, none of which seem to have any downsides at all. Sounds too good to be true, or they just haven't decided on the downsides yet.

[quote]detonation pack[/quote] please no

These patch notes look fishy. There is no word about the Scaleform, new login screen and character screen. BUT these notes were submited to Pastebin on Jun 5th while the patch with the new login screen and UI was released at OTW on Jun 7th. So these notes might just be a bit outdated. [QUOTE]UIDistrict[/QUOTE]Really? Couldn't they come up with a better name? [QUOTE] Gumball Located in (not chosen yet) in Financial [/QUOTE]How are OTW testers supposted to test that contact if he isn't there yet? Maybe if they are R235, they could get auto pledged... I don't know. [QUOTE]sideaffects[/QUOTE]Is there such word? Fake or not? Hard to tell.

I'm pretty sure this is fake, I think I saw a similar fake/wishful patch note a long time a ago, but only they didn't use Gumball and Aletta,
