Pure, CLEAN W.

This is hopefully a start of something much greater. Better, more open communication.

Asking your players for targeted feedback via surveys then publishing results alongside your further plans will break echo chambers / little community bubbles where speculation and lack of information is a major cause for negativity.

Bringing topics like these to light so everyone can see will clear all that up and make the players understand why something is changing - or not!

Personally I am not a fan of any vehicle hitbox changes as they mess with a lot of things gameplay wise and that's a slippery slope on the road to pay to win.

The character position in the vehicle is often changed as well as certain parts of a new vehicle could block incoming bullets better / more than the original vehicle.

- Character position change + vehicle hitbox change will cause you to have to adjust your aim and lead when shooting which means your built in muscle memory goes out the window as soon you face a player with a special vehicle skin.

- Driver seats are elevated, offering full protection from bullets which means it is IMPOSSIBLE to kill the player driving away from you if you are looking at the rear end of their car.

  • Due to player feedback, the release of Dragunov 7.62 DMR has been suspended
  • Devs acknowledge that its probabilistic damage system could deviate from the intended gameplay experience
  • Devs have also shared and announced a feedback survey in order to gather community sentiment on Dragunov & Aug
  • Outcome from this survey will be publicly shared and have an impact on changes for these two guns

Feedback survey: ...

I'm just praying that when you buy something with g-coin, g-coin is used in the order of when it will expire. Closest expiration date first and permanent g-coin last.

That does happen, yes.

I'd like to see a G-Coin breakdown added to the currency that would show the expiration date on G-Coin we own when we interact with the currency.

⚠ All G-Coin has an expiration date. Ones you buy from store have a 5 year expiration date and the ones you get from events can vary from 1 day to 30 days usually.

It would be nice to see how much G-Coin will expire and when.

They don't need to remove the ability to see heat through the smoke, but they could blur/distort the player model so you would see that they were there but not be able to headshot constantly it would be more of a qualified guess.

That and seeing through foliage is great enough imo.

A nerf to the drone would be welcome too, it's very tiring to run into guys who won't peak out of buildings cos they got drones 24/7, next lvl TPP ...

Can't say that I've noticed that too much. Maybe I need to look up more.

Fully agree, I really hope they come to their senses and don’t ruin what otherwise would be an awesome patch!

Still hoping they’ll remove the thermal (or make it not see through smokes) anytime soon. And maybe buff some of the nice 5.56 ARs we have (at the moment it’s really only m4 and aug sadly)

Yep, would love to see thermal stop seeing through smokes.

For context, here is my summary of the changes and additions that are coming with the Update #25.1 https://twitter.com/TheHappyWhale_/status/1686666033145241600?s=20

🏆 Overall a HUGE W of an update!

🏎️ Vehicle skin application system reversal is great news.

- Never take away existing, automated QoL and introduce extra steps to the same system.

🕹️ Arcade changes are amazing!

- Thanks for removing the Erangel map. Your core community is the one who will pla...

The thing is already pre-programmed to frustrate and it's not purely randomized.

I finished mine in a few days, like ridiculously fast. Got good rng with barely any dupes.

Not too drastic, but a much needed refresh! Thank goodness 🔥

I lile that the key POIs in the middle remain unchanged, they've been part of Miramar for years and should remain the same imo. I like that the outskirts are receiving changes as that will bring a little breath of fresh air, while maintaining the main POIs intact and just like the players liked them.

Not sure the point of the cable cars and sand storm. They are stupid additions. The rest of the changes to the map are interesting and will be good to see how it plays out.

Imo cable cars are a nice, optional means of automated transport that adds new content and hurts nobody in the process as it doesn't have any crazy impact on gameplay to those who do not want to engage with them.

As for the sandstorm, I can not say that something IS a stupid addition when it hasn't yet been added to the game. Sandstorm has been a popular suggestion over the years and I'm glad to see it added.

If it adds low dot, lowers visibility and replaces the rng instakill redzone, I'll be happy. If it works like the snowstorm it will be easily avoidable if you have a car (which most people on vikendi and miramar do because its a must for rotations).

It's understandable that skins, which modify the model of a vehicle, need an extra action to apply, but there should be no reason why the regular skins couldn't be auto applied, just as they used to be.

Weapon skins can be re-applied over others and removed with hotkeys so these systems already exist.

I rarely see players equip skins they paid money to get because of this QoL downgrade.

It is never good to introduce extra steps to a previously simple and easy to use system and call it an upgrade.
