Patch Notes Discussion

  • Headline of the Splitter, Splitter Pack.
    Sparx has not seen any JCVD movies. CombatGlue really like Street Fighters 2 and Bloodsport.
    The mission is different to the usual ET formula. Lots of ground, lots of targets.
    Devs had an internal competition with the ET.
    The community, and response from the public was hype. It is seen and appreciated.
    The forum “home of the hardcore players, the long timers” was surprised by the amount of work put in it.

  • The Twitch Drops
    (CombatGlue: ICA19 is not pronounced IKA, it’s a soft C.)
    CombatGlue asked what chat wanted as future unlocks. Chat talked of Vampire Magician, Ducky Baller… It’s a twitch chat.

  • New Challenge - Staying Warm
    The lights of the snowdrop blink. It is rather neat.

  • Two Batches of Featured Contracts
    Combat salute the community and every one he interacted with for them. Thinks they’re wonderful.
    Quartz one came early, but is still an highlight of the notes.
    It’s also why the order in the FC menu of the two are a bit strange/reversed.
    @Switcher, you are “lovely” to quote.
    Combat is looking forward for more of them next year.

  • Elusive Targets
    No remarks.

  • Fixes
    The Coin is here. A long time ask from the community. Combat asked once, kinda forgot. And then remembered and asked over and over again.
    For the record, since you asked Combat. It was asked since Freelancer release in January 2023, for two years, a year before your arrival. (by the way: to nitpick: the in-game description of it is a placeholder that might need to be updated).
    Combat wants the community to remember that they are always listening, but priorities is given to game breaking bugs.
    He was responding to some in the community and awake late the day before.

Miscellenous ask

Favourite maps:

  • Sparx’s are Haven Island for getting away from everything and Dartmoor for the atmosheres, the story beats, and the
  • CombatGlue is Dartmoor, but he thinks Hokkaido will grow on him when played in WoA. He played it in H2016, and not really since.
