Brink Q&A

(tokamak) #1081

Jack of all trades can of course be called a specialisation by itself. But a ‘generic’ class is just a bloody awful idea.

(brbrbr) #1082

[QUOTE=spazski;217209]Not only that, but I think players will want to be more specialized. I don’t think “Jack of all trades, master of none” appeals to many people as they want to have a definite role in the combat, which is the whole premise of Brink.

To add to that, being able to change combat roles on the fly makes the concept of a “do-it-all” class kinda pointless and ruins one of the key features of the game.[/QUOTE]

yes and no.
if developers put ENOUGH drawbacks to this approach-addicted gamers, its not.
even for most hard-core players.
but some can try. in hope to help team, in will to save/free Ark/People,who knows ?

(spazski) #1083

I think “Generalist” is more like it. Either way, me no rikey.

(LyndonL) #1084

I would think to keep it balanced, there would be (as an example) 5 perks that you can utilise at any given time.

So you’ve unlocked, say, 13 perks through your gameplay, and at the start of your round you choose 5 of them to outfit your character with.

Just an idea…

That’s what they’re doing.

ghey ? who’s that ?
if you mean gays[i guess that, cause wikipedia redirect to it], of course they have equal right to be self ingame too.
i wonder how it would look visually, too.
purple guns ? blue t-shirts ? nvm.

(Voxie) #1089

Rainbow coloured t-shirts, obviously.

(H0RSE) #1090

If we can have gays, there better be a construction worker archetype…blue jeans, work boots, no shirt with suspenders and a hard-hat. We work hard, and play harder, grrrr.

(brbrbr) #1091

how about multi-coloured bullets tracers ? :slight_smile:

(LyndonL) #1092

Haha +1 Noice!

Another Q: In the brink teaser you hear at one point a yell “Civilians on the battlefield” could you guy specify on that? It’s something in the teaser after all. Is that the medic escort mission?

Good ear! Let’s just say that the medic can finally get in on the core objective action in Brink :slight_smile:

my only worry is whether communication will be good enough (particularly with VOIP off by default). There needs to be a very easy yet comprehensive ‘vsay’ system imho.

It’s a fair concern, and we’re working on it. But voip off is just the default, you can open chat lines with individual players, or just use the settings that turn it back on…

I dunno if this has been asked before, but how is the buddy system?
Is there something similar to what ETQW has?

It would be cool to also be able to check out your own clan win/loss ratio and stuff.

And is there autorecord? I know in ETQW it was bugged right? And g_banner, is that working this time? :stuck_out_tongue:

All excellent questions, which i can’t answer at the moment…

LOL. To quote Seinfeld: “NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!”

btw, hate to say it, but things are getting way too busy at work now for me to keep spending 3 or 4 hours every weekend replying and posting with you guys. I’m really sorry about it, but we’re on 6 day work week now to try to get Brink wrapped up (I’m sure you guys have heard all about gamedev crunch, so it’s no surprise that the time has come on Brink for it), and I just can’t quite keep up the pace (I’m not as young as I used to be :confused: ) But keep up the good topics. I’ll still be scanning the boards, reading up on everything and taking lots of notes, but that generally only takes me about an hour a week, which I can still afford to spend without my wife killing me! :smiley:

So talk to you all soon, and in the meantime, keep those bananas dancing!!!
:stroggbanana: :stroggbanana: :stroggbanana: :stroggbanana: :stroggbanana:

(hmm, apparently we have an animated icon limit! i was going to throw out 10 bananas, but you’ll have to make do with 5, I’m afraid)

(Dormamu) #1095

What are the pins for, on the sniper at 0:14-0:16 in the Cinematic Trailer?
Customization or achievements? It will be wicked to put your achievements on you char so all can see it.

(AnthonyDa) #1096

There is sniper rifle now ? Thought it was removed.

(spazski) #1097

There is a rifle with sniper properties, but it’s not labeled as a “sniper rifle”. At least that’s the impression I’m under. Rahdo talked about it pretty recently in one thread and said something along the lines of it being a light weapon.

And as he stated in an earlier post, no weapon can kill in one hit by default.

(AnthonyDa) #1099

Unless you are level 0 with light bodies and heavy with lol xp and leet upgrades hit you with knife, sth like that.

(brbrbr) #1100

and/or if this was deployables/equipment landing hits.
