Update Speculation thread

I am dying for the limo.

 

Yeah fair, it's not the first thing you think about when you see BeamBot.

 

Since agentmooshroom5 mentioned it, do we think the hopper will be added to the traffic? Maybe the SBR4?

 

No one's seems to talk about the last teaser's caption that says : " Your brake lights are jealous now " ..

What does a brake light do ? It lights up , it glows ...

Brake glow confirmed !

 

Hmm will there be a teaser tomorrow on Friday ( Friday ) Aussie time, If so i wonder if it will be limo?
I think it Next week, BUT hope is a good thing

 

I dont think its the way you put it, rather my way:

 

What i believe is that we shouldn't put too much attention on the caption

 

If we ignore the brake glow. The teaser doesn't really tease anything.
If you tried to look really hard into it, you could theorize that they might update Traffic Ai, like adding road incidents, or adding trucks to the traffic, but I think thats really streching it as nothing hints at it.
If we also look at one of the previous teasers, the one with electric motor and a wheel on it. The caption hints at a hamster, and on other social media they use a hamster emoji.

I think it's important to not look too far into the teasers, as they are usually pretty straightforward and don't really have hidden deeper meanings, other than sometimes obstructing it to be less obvious.

 

Nope, it won't do that due to regulations. European cars like the modern ETKs, the Civetta Scintilla and the Cherrier FCVs do that, while modern American cars like the Bastion do not. Then again, we do have the Hirochi SBR4/ESBR, the USDM versions of the Scintilla and the modern ETKs which do it despite being some modern USDM variants for the US market. Really weird.

 

I think this update is just random awesome bs

 

One possible reason for USDM ETKs: the developer was a bit lazy

 

Speaking of lights, I'd really love to see the maps with the Utah and WCUSA Service Station Garage lighting systems. Meaning real automatic lighting inside buildings instead of placeholders that do nothing at night time. The WCUSA map, in particular, has plenty of other places this could be implemented in. Particularly interior parking lots, garages, gas stations, buildings like the WCUSA BCPD, the dealerships and the skyscrapers, the train stations, the bridge, the dockyards, the freeways... Plenty of places!

I wouldn't call it like that, it's rude. I'd say that the company chose to comply with this regulation so that its cars blend in a bit better. That's why the USDM Scintilla also has red taillights instead of the clear ones of the EUDM version. I like this, it shows some variation and enhances the lore!

 

Lighting up the world would be so laggy.

 

no mods today
thats a good sign

 

i'm not going to sleep at my usual bed time today

 

real cars in the american market do that
ive seen it
the brakelights flash rapidly to signify abs is being used and you should start either pumping the breaks if your car is old enough or start braking now if your car has abs
technically non abs cars have that feature since you have to pump your breaks

Shiver me timbers when would the update drop then?

 

Last teaser Thursday there were no mods released so teaser at the very least hopefully

 

There were multiple instances of inconsistent mod approvals the past weeks

 

As in, what time? Usually, the devs like dropping them early in the day. From 0.27 onwards (all times are UTC):

0.27: 12:58
0.28: 13:30
0.29: 12:23
0.30: 10:12
0.31: 14:02
0.32: 13:42
0.33: 16:20
0.34: 13:32
0.35: 13:50
0.36: 12:39

It's currently 15:53 UTC. So, we could still get the update today, but I think we're far more likely to see it next week (if not later).
