Mercs: Friend Appreciation Weekend

(Silvanoshi) #41

Well hello everyone!

Friendly Fire is something that we’re looking into for sure, although it isn’t quite a top priority at this moment in time. While it may appear to be a fairly straightforward flick of a switch to set some public servers up with FF on, we need to do quite a bit of testing in order to ensure that we don’t get any crazy calculations taking place as a result.

As for my hope of getting more info to you about the Merc mystery this week…it seems the plot has thickened and will now slowly roll over to next week. We’ll get more info to you as and when it becomes available :).

Well, again a disappointing answer regarding FF. It’s a game changer like I said, it does affect gameplay a lot but I guess it can’t be helped.

Now for something I have had on my mind for a while: what’s with all the hush hush and that foggy style of communication?
It’s nothing personal Silvanoshi, you most likely do with what you have but I don’t understand why you use riddles, thow hints sugarcoated in mystery and overall build hype when we’re still in beta, testing stuff and trying to understand where the game is going.

I might be the only one but please keep that sort of stuff for the live/release version, even if you don’t have solid and fixed dates for patches I still want concrete info, I want to know what you’re working on and what’s coming in the future, NOT play the “have a guess” game.

There are indie devs out there that release info & share progress weekly or even on an almost daily basis.

In a way, you’ve answered your own question.

(Exedore) #49

I’d seen the video. It paints a far more shocking picture than one Mr Dance.

I cannot help but imagine what would have happened if I was there when they were filming… I think I would have died…

(spookify) #51

Hows the patch coming?

(tokamak) #52

Clans that get to share in a common merc-pool?

(FireWorks) #53

Friends appreciated enough. They can be locked away now! (If that means a cool patch inc :P)

(FireWorks) #54

Pretty long weekend… any news on a comming patch?

(Smooth) #55

The next update is still in the testing phase (which is can take several days) so until we get the all clear we’re not going to commit to a date as any issues found may push this further back.

Sad panda :o

(BomBaKlaK) #57

I hope this is a big one !

(prophett) #58

So you’re saying it’s Friday?

(Silvanoshi) #59

The delays are down to niggling little bugs rather than more content being added.
We’ll crush those little critters!

A Friday release is highly unlikely. We like to try and have at least a day in the office following the release to evaluate the update and where we stand.

some maps update ? cause if we only have some bugs correction it’s clearly not enough to make people play again …
Maps are horrible … Can’t play anymore on those maps …
