The new add on obs ability "fire" is f****** ridiculous the whole place is getting spammed with the lines of obs rifle and everyone isrunning around not knowing what is happening!

With the fast regenerate of abilities this thing gets reallllyy op. This mod is already hard for newbies that might start the mod now.

70% don't know what is a stance ot even hace a stance special key and NOW they are dying without knowing what's happening with results just ragequiting and they are right! i had 5deaths and 3 of them were from fire.

+ I wont waste my third perk because the obs just stay away spamming fires.

+There is no help in the menu for stances and the new stuff.

Either remove or realllyyy nerf it. This was the worst update.

*ps wtf is the obs pistol?

If you actually play the mod on the TEST server, you will realise that it has already been changed to balance it a lot better.

If they don't know what a stance is, point them to the website stance guide or explain it to them. Until the help page is updated this is all you can do. For the 1 millionth time, 2.99d is not officially released, therefore the help guide information will not be updated until this time. Do what we do and actually help others out.

The tracking pistol tracks, can be used to shoot explosives and allows silent knifing at a highly reduced damage.

Rather than be rude, understand that we have been making this for almost 3 years, and we do actually know when something is unbalanced and needs changing. So be patient, stop your unconstructive sooking, and wait for the official, balanced 2.99d release if you are not happy with the 'TEST' server version (OC1).

We take no responsibility if other servers wish to jump the gun and run the test versions. Test versions are updated very regularly which is why we only release them on OC1.

Sorry snake aboutbeing rude, but yesterday i was so mad to the mod.

Also about test servers... it's either snakelet server which is in australia and many just can't play because of lag (like me) or...if am i right RTX server that actually get some ppl in it... so we (chucky actually) have to get the new releases as there is a test server for australia and usa i guess (dunno really) and one for europe.

Hence, it is a test server and until an official release is out, it is just that. Chucky does grab new versions on occasion, but we take no responsibility for unbalanced or unstable gameplay. When 2.99d does get released feel free to express your opinions about the update, but until then its all in testing phase.

The only test server is OC1 Snakelet's Obscurity. If the others want stable, but fairly outdated official releases, they should stick to 2.99c until we provide links on our website to 2.99d files.

I don't mind you expressing your opinions about the test versions, but do so in a more mature manner next time and take into account that if something is unbalanced, we will nearly always fix it very quickly.

As of now, the fire has been balanced as per the following:

• Fireproof perk means that when on fire it will not spread across your body, and you cannot catch on fire from other friendlies.

• Firebug stance now functions on all stabbing, not just the pistol silent stabbing. Stab to light a guy and then tap stance special to ignite him and those near to him.

• Flame shot has been removed to help remove flame spamming and unbalanced gameplay.

• Fire is now a little bit easier to put out, but because flame shot is removed the amount of fire spam is greatly reduced and is no longer an issue.

• Fire does not spread when out in the rain, making it easier to douse if you are out and about in a storm.

One other thing is that you can stab multiple enemies using firebug and then detonate them all at once by tapping the stance special key.

"+There is no help in the menu for stances and the new stuff."

because the version you're on isn't properly released for the public, you guys are just too impatient.

"Either remove or realllyyy nerf it. This was the worst update."

again - don't whinge over something that isn't even released yet. if it's sooo bad put on the last release or don't play it at all?

I think that overall, people need to just sit back and understand that if the game isn't fun for Falcar and myself, we fix it until it is. Imbalances are generally fixed quickly, and it is extremely difficult to cater to everybodies individual needs so there may be some things that you do not initially like.

not trying to create any problems at all. Just expressing my opinion and no i don't want this or any other thread to turn into a flame match. I mean lets face it, forum fighting is only done by little girls. We could sort this out on the obs court..... Lol
