Patch Notes 12.12.2017

[JoesOs 2]

Thanks @ShiftySamurai and these all sound like high quality QOL updates and fixes. I also like the extra bit of info in the pre-patch notes. Always good to generally know what to expect. Transparency is good.

@ShiftySamurai will the patch be this week? Or next week? Or is the release date a surprise. Even though in the last update it said you guys would have a release date "soon".

Where are the dedicated servers for consoles that were supposed to come late september mid-october? The last update about the matter was mid-august nothing since then.

Pretty sure they’re not coming. 

 

Meh, I'm willing to throw them a bone and see if they come. Apparently there are non-disclosure agreements preventing them from discussing details. This kind of change involves working with Sony and Microsoft etc so it's not just the guys over at Gun involved. Every time they create a new patch, it has to get verified by Sony and MS before it's allowed to be uploaded. I'm as pissed off as other people at the high rate of rage-quitters but I'm not giving up. I think people saying "they're not coming" are a little mistaken if they think it's a quick fix.

And every time you make a change you open the door to new bugs. So overhauling the way the game networks its users is opening a floodgate of potential problems they will address like any other developer. This is far from a quick patch like some people seem to think.

• Reduced the effectiveness of the Heavy Hitter perk

What's the point of this? Did I miss something? I have an epic heavy hitter and it doesn't stun that much longer than a regular stun. Now the perk is even more useless?

• Added additional item spawns to campsites
• Lowered the maximum amount of Medical Sprays that are able to spawn in drawers

The bold words in each sentence mean different things. Item spawns is different from maximum amount. I can add more item spawns but not change the item total count at all. I can reduce item spawns but not change the maximum item total.

Do you see the confusion here?

As I understand it: The repair part icons on the map will no longer be hidden by the standard (house, campsite) icons.

Thank you!

The release date is also "soon".

[DinosaurusCuteness 6]

I hope it is soon like this week lol

 

 

[kitcat 473]

I think we may get the new update on thursday or next week. 

[ShiftySamurai 1,826]

"Soon" is always better than me passing off incorrect information about the date.

randy said yes about the 4k stuff but they need to address the masses first. I asked him when i ran with him last friday . I have the pro.

[Rycornog 4]

Really excited for this update! How soon can we expect for the update to come?

[lHeartBreakerl 2,759]

Cool. All looks good. Hopefully we can get a more balance oriented patch next time around.

[BeepBeepRichie 40]

Will Chad, Jenny, Tommy, and Vanessa get back the ability to destroy two of Jason's Traps now that he can multi-trap objectives again?

Hey all, we're going to do this a little differently and show you the upcoming patch notes a bit before launch. This is not all-inclusive, as we have quite a bit of content coming with the next patch as well, and we don't want to spoil the surprise in patch notes. After release we will update this post to be all inclusive. 

 

 

Sound

• Reduced the volume of Part 9 Jason’s music
•  

Jarvis House

• Added more variation to the possible cabin types and cabin spawn locations
• Added additional item spawns and environmental kills in the Jarvis House and Vacation House
• Adjusted repair item spawn locations to no longer spawn at inaccessible locations
• Corrected various collision issues that were blocking player movement 

• 
   

1st) finally!   The blaring part 9 music is being fixed!   No more ear drum rape.  Gooooood.   

2nd) for the Jarvis map, will the phone box have more spawn locations now?  I'm not sure that this patch note cover it.   The Jarvis or party houses would also be good phone locations.  

Thanks for the early notes.  Hopefully the patch will be "soon™".    

[Frighteningicon 103]

I'm starting to suspect that Jason  might be permanently nerfed

[LoveSimon 3]

The completion/unlocking all of the achievements bug isn't listed. Please tell me that it will be in the upcoming patch!

[ThePunkPirate 168]

Hopefully multi-heal spray nerf will be enough to make people go back to either actually using their knives on traps, or at least decrease the amount people can get away with tanking damage. I mean we still have the combo of Thick Skin with Medic which is a little crazy but meh

[BLOODYFISHTACO 25]

But then net neutrality died two days later and completely destroyed all the users and server services this game has. RIP update.

[Frighteningicon 103]

Sure hope that's not the case

[TiffanyCox 136]

Thank god for Hope!!! @ShiftySamurai Could we expect new kill pack DLC in this upcoming patch/update? I have really been craving some new kills to be honest!

[AldermachXI 2,787]

Cool...I guess.

Still getting the boat / 2-seater combo on Jarvis House (just happened)...phone still only ever spawns at the bottom of the map. Wasn't this supposed to be fixed by now?

Small fixes here. Nothing addressing the major issues with the game. I guess we'll see how it plays when this drops.
