[Prototype] Dome Event Weekend 2

You've battled your way around our five Objective maps, and now we're giving you a sneak peek at the next in development! From 18:30 UTC, Friday, June 26th until 18:30 UTC, Monday, June 29th, certain servers will be set to be playing only Dome, in addition to the normal array of standard Objective and StopWatch servers. Be sure to look for them in the Server Browser if you want a sneak peek at the next map to come!

Event Duration:
Zürich (BST, UTC +2:00) : 20:30, Friday, June 26th - 20:30, Monday, June 29th
Los Angeles (PDT, UTC -7:00) : 11:30 AM, Friday, June 26th - 10:00 AM, Monday, June 29th
Sydney (AEST, UTC +10:00) : 4:30 AM, Saturday, June 27th - 4:30 AM, Tuesday, June 30th

About Dome
Dome is a large Objective/Stopwatch map featuring three objectives.

Objective 1 requires the Attackers to carry two Datacores from the helicopter near their spawn to a radar tower. Standing in their way, aside from the opposing team, are two gates that block direct routes to the Objective, and can be opened by blowing up nearby generators. As with other Delivery objectives, players carrying the object cannot use their abilities or weapons without dropping it, although it can be used as an improvised melee weapon if needed.

Objective 2 is made up of two bomb sites. The attackers must successfully plant on one of them, with the defenders trying to stop them. Attackers can also open up additional routes through the objective by raising a ramp towards a rooftop, or fixing a forklift to do much the same. Only one of the bomb sites must be destroyed in order to trigger the next objective.

Objective 3 is another Bomb objective, requiring the attackers to plant a bomb on an anti-aircraft gun. There's a few dozen paths through the area, and more can be activated by destroying two doors along the main path. Once the bomb is detonated, the Attackers have won the map.

PROTOTYPE SHOWCASE: CANAL EXECUTION

For this weekend, starting at 17:00 UTC, Friday, July 3rd and ending 17:00 UTC, Monday, July 6th, the prototype game mode Execution will be available for play in marked Dirty Bomb servers, featuring a brand new map, Canal. This mode is designed to be a good jumping on point for Dirty Bomb, bringing in a familiar style of gameplay, but maintaining Dirty Bomb's unique flair.

Event Duration
-Zürich (BST, UTC +2:00): 19:00, Friday, July 3rd - 19:00, Monday, July 6th


Map: Canal
The big change between this round and our previous Execution test is that we're unloading a new Execution map on you, Canal.

This map is much more heavily focused on close quarters combat and verticality, giving flanking and stealth. As hard as it can be to secure a bomb site, its going to be even harder to hold onto it and defend your plant. As with other Prototype maps, Canal is in Blockout State, meaning that it is completely untextured and lacking many other details, so the level geometry can be improved more easily, so don't expect a gorgeous map quite yet.

[Patch Notes] Phantom is here

Another update, another Merc! Phantom is here- well, he was here a moment ago at least, but in addition to the sneaky assassin, we've got an number of other tweaks and additions for you with this update. Read on for all the details!

New Merc: Phantom

Phantom is somewhere around here, but good luck finding him before he strikes! Willing to do anything to get rid of him, his Commanding Officer volunteered Phantom to take part in an experimental Refractive Armor test program. Returning the favor, Phantom promptly stole the suit and used it to plant incriminating evidence/livestock in his former Commanding Officer's quarters. Since then he has been a legend in his own mind. Never, ever lend him money, or your mobile phone.

Primary Ability: Refractive Armor
Phantom's pride and joy, his Refractive Armor, is the piece of technology that justifies his code name. He can activate this specialized suit of camouflage and, in only a few moments, fade from sight. The armor's power will drain for as long as he's invisible, although while he is moving the power will drain faster, as well as visually disrupting, making him easier to spot when chasing down the enemy.
Of course, this is armor, not some magic cloak! If Phantom is shot while Refractive Armor is enabled, that damage will instead deplete the Armor's remaining power, giving him enough time to close the gap and take advantage of his shiny new toy.

New Melee Weapon: The Katana
Phantom brings an entirely new melee weapon to the field: A razor-sharp Katana, ready and waiting to plunge into the back of an unsuspecting medic. It's slower and more unwieldy to use, but when it finds its target it hits for massive damage, carving foes up into nice little pieces.
Loadout Details

As with all Mercs, Phantom has a number of Loadout Cards that give him a variety of Weapons and Augments, helping him diversify his stealthy assassinations.

Each of his Bronze Loadout Cards can be purchased directly for 17,500 Credits or $3.49 USD, or all of them in a bundle for 100,000 Credits or $19.99 USD. As with all Mercs, every current combination of weapons and augments available for Phantom is available as a Bronze Card. Phantom himself can be purchased from the Barracks for 50,000 Credits, or $9.99 USD.

New XP Reward: Human Shield
It's about time we reward the loyal, valuable tanks that protect the weaker characters from getting turned into chunky salsa! The Human Shield XP reward gives players 1 XP per point of damage they take for a teammate, be it blocking a bullet or shielding them from an explosion. Just don't think its worth the XP bonus to shield Rhino's delicate frame with Aura's body.

Other Changes
Balance Changes
Stilnotto Stiletto Knife
-Secondary attack damage reduced to 85 (from 90)
Revive Changes
-Reduced the invulnerability window Incapped players have after dying to 366ms (from 800ms)
This exists so gibbing a player is a separate distinct action, rather than just continuing to fire while a body is collapsing to the ground
-Revive Invulnerability now begins once the player has stood up and can move
This allows players a final chance to Finish the revived player, just before they get-up
Players now spend 0.7s getting up after a revive (from 1s)
Other Balance Changes
-Adjusted view kick so the kick speed also scales up with the amount of incoming damage received
Bug Fixes and Game Improvements
User Interface
-Improved server browser performance
-Added server region to the server browser
-Updated the in-game voting UI to make it more obvious when a vote is triggered, and how close the vote is to passing
-Added player rankings to the scoreboard at the end of a Ranked game
-Removed 5v5 as option from Quick Join searching screen as the minimum sever size is 6v6
-Added a queue timer to Party Matchmaking
-Added more obvious notifications when players received a new item
-Sped up several lobby and warm-up times
-Fixed server filtering box to allow quoted strings
-Added functionality where servers will disconnect all players at the end of a match if a new build version is available
-Updated the audio when getting a Cobalt Loadout Card from a case
Levels
-Updated lighting and post-processing on Bridge to make it more consistent across all graphics settings
-Fixed broken roof on the train station in Terminal, should get damaged by all bullets and explosives now
-Updated the audio mix on Terminal and Chapel
Notable Bug Fixes
-Fix for REVIVR occasionally not reviving an incapped player
-Fixed an issue where rebinding keys could cause some functionality not to work whilst incapped
-Fixed an issue where players below level five could be invited to ranked matchmaking parties
-Fixed an issue where players could not Quick Join into servers that were in the "Lobby" state
-Fixed a bug where carryable objective indicator "friend or foe" would show for all players

[Event] Double Credits Weekend

von Freitag, 10 Juli, 19:00 bis Montag, 13. Juli,19:00
(zählt nur für die Standartentlöhnung, nicht Missionen o.ä.)

Phantom's snuck his way into London and, like any true American, hiring his services is going to cost you. We here at Team Dirty Bomb felt it's only fair to give you a boost this weekend so that you have a fighting chance at claiming him. After all, you're also going to need his deadly Loadout Cards... so it's time for another Double Credits weekend!

Starting at 18:30 UTC on Friday, July 10th and ending at 17:00 UTC on Monday, July 13th, all matches in Dirty Bomb will reward an additional 100% Credits. Even better, this will stack with any Credit Boosters in effect, giving you a grand total of 4x the normal Credit reward!

Event Details:
+100% Credits Earn Rate

Note:
The Credit boost only applies to Match Rewards. Bonus Credits from ranking up and from completing Daily Missions are unaffected.
Stacks with Credit Boosters, giving a total of 4x the normal Credit rewards.

Grosse News von Dirty Bomb. Nexon ist nicht mehr länger Publisher von DB, SplashDamage nimmt es selbst in die Hand!
Dies gibt Ihnen nun endlich die Freiheit selber zu Entscheiden in welche Richtung das Spiel sich entwickeln soll etc. Hoffe Sie versauen es nicht.

In einem Reddit Kommentar vom SD CEO habe ich gelesen, dass sie extrem Eingeschränkt waren, in Entscheidungen, welche das Spiel und den Inhalt anbelangen.

However! What I can say is it's not quite true that's it's our game and we can do what we want right now, but we have something big to announce very shortly that will change all that.

We've been waiting till we're able to do DB properly, and it feels like we're days away.

Hier das Video von SD:
