Crucible Dev Tracker

Hunters & Gameplay

General

Changes:

• We made a change to the way we draw projectile trails so you will now see the trails on the first frame of the shot even if the projectile hits a target on that frame. Developer's note: This should make projectiles easier to read and allow players to react to them.
• Updated various audio design and sound mixing for character abilities across the board. Developer's note: We've heard you (ha!) saying that you'd like weapons to feel bigger and more satisfying—this update should add to the improvements we've already made while providing additional clarity on the sounds and cues that are most important.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that allowed explosions to pass through nearby shields, like Shakirri's Holo-Shield. This fix should prevent Summer's Ignition Spark and Drakahl's Resonating Quake from passing through shields.

Thanks! For matches that end in surrender, at what point in the game are you typically seeing the surrender vote called?

Hear you on AFKs and we're actively discussing this. We removed most of the rewards that players could earn for AFK'ing in our last build, but we're still seeing a decent number of reports coming in. We're looking at automatic punishments as our next step.

RE: voice chat choppiness -> does it sound "laggy" or like transmissions are ending prematurely (missing the last bit of someone's sentence)? More info here would be helpful. :)

I hear you on the MOBA vs Hero Shooter point. Crucible has always been a bit hard to describe. I think the changes that Stephen, one of our design leads, laid out in a livestream last week will help clarify the game and its mechanics. In fact, the creature camps idea is already in the works. You can check out the details here, if you're interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/667956909

Hey everyone,

Welcome to our first official weekly feedback thread! We’d love to hear your thoughts on all things Crucible, and we have a few specific questions to get you started:

· Now that you’ve had the opportunity to play with voice chat for a week, how are you feeling about it? Are you seeing it used very often? What would you like to see added/changed with the feature?

· Is Crucible being played any differently now that voice chat is in? Are you noticing any new strategies/tactics?

· What is your top concern that you’d like to see the Crucible team to focus on addressing?

You’re not limited to the above. If you’d want to write a wall of text, we’ll read it!

Here’s some guidelines for giving great feedback:

· Give details and examples: Be specific, explain the issue fully. The more detail you provide, the better that your readers will understand the point you're trying to make.

· Suggest...

Hello. What you encountered wasn't a loss of rewards due to being reported AFK, but a visual bug. The bug caused *all* teammates to see the AFK penalty message, but it was only visual—you did actually receive your rewards as long as our system didn't detect you as being AFK. That bug was fixed in this patch.

We've put out a small update that fixes two bugs:

• Fixed a visual bug that caused an AFK penalty to display to everyone partied with an AFK player (although rewards were still granted appropriately to non-AFK players).
• Fixed a bug that caused bullet trails to display multiple times for a single shot.

Hey Abysmal, I think we played together earlier :) Thanks for the feedback!

There is a visual-only bug that causes an AFK penalty (forfeiture of match rewards) to display to everyone partied with an AFK player. This bug is visual only and as long as you were not AFK, you will receive match rewards as you should. We're working on a fix for this issue.

I believe!
