MNC Live Update System changes

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2026

Our first update using MNC Live Update System include the following changes:

-Time between Crossfire matches changed from 60 to 45 seconds
-minimum number of players needed to start Crossfire changed from 8 to 6
-custom bot spawner timer changed from 5 to 10 seconds.
-changed message of the day.

To reiterate, the MNC Live Update System is a way for us to tune values at will without having to go through a patch process. We are working on a patch that will address known bugs and exploits.

Awesome! All changes that i wanted to see. Cant wait to see that patch you guys are going to release.

nice! keep up the good work

All these changes were done because of feedback from you guys on the forum!

Forums FTW!!!

So I have to ask... by changing the minimum number of players to 6, will it split a party of 6 into 3v3 if there are no other players?

EDIT: I know that my party would rather wait for new players because if we wanted to play 3v3 or get split we would host a private match.

It's nice to see developers actually listening to the people paying buying their game and paying their checks.

That's great guys! Keep up the good work!

Once that first patch is out you can all go home and see your families again!

Until then, keep slaving away at those computers to make a bunch of unpleasable, assholes happy that you'll never meet in person!

:lol:

Thanks Uber! This MNC Live Update thing is seriously revolutionary or something. At least, convenient.

Yes, it will potentially split parties like that.

I'm working on a fix for the first TU to try and make this work better though.

So changing the bot timer from 5 to 10 seconds means there will be half as many random bots spawned per round. Am I understanding that right?

It means you can only spend money to spawn bots every 10 seconds instead of 5. It slows down the gap shot spam from money rich support guys.

I still think 45 secs is too long. Please drop it to 30 secs!

And rich assassin's that spawn nothing but gremlins... the ENTIRE MATCH.

In the TU hope you guys fix the ability to shoot down the moneyball.

Ahhhh I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I like that fix. Thank you for the quick reply as well.

Already fixed locally.

Great news! Any time off the waiting time (and thus playing more MNC) is welcome.

Not sure how much i'm going to like the bot spawn time reduction but i guess it's for the best.

oof, I actually wish that it would wait until a full 6v6 for quick match.

1. Games in progress feel slow to fill the rest of the way up. This means that you can have fairly long periods of time where one team has 1 more player than the other. Starting with full teams would help alleviate this.

2. Starting games non-full probably means there's more chance of joining a game in progress. When you join a game in progress, you'll go to the team with the least people, which means that you'll be joining the already-losing team more often than the winning team. Joining a team that's already losing *usually* sucks.

Hoo hoo, top notch! I love love love all the fan/Uber interaction, it's great.

I fully endorse all of these changes and would like to sign up to any newsletter or blog these new changes may have.
