Unit 13 wants your questions!

(Nail) #41

at least no one here is asking “what kind of hats are available” and “can I make my gun pink”

(tokamak) #42

I’m sure the questions wouldn’t make Paul run off crying, but people are usually more willing to share their thoughts when you don’t push them into the defensive.

(Ragoo) #43

Wow, that’s actually something I really want to know. Can I make my gun pink? Please ask that question!

As for my tone, yes it was harsh but in my opinion it reads harsher than it was intended.[/QUOTE]

Don’t forget that this interview is done by a third party (Unit 13), and as such, your unnecessary tone is moot and wrongly directed. If you want to whine about this or that, it’s fine and you can voice that opinion, but that thread is hardly the place to do so.

If I were you I’d start a new thread and voice my concerns for public digestion and argument. If your points are well-constructed and valid I am certain SD people would reply to it. They certainly won’t hijack this thread to answer your criticism.

Sorry for the OT.

I guess I’m not getting all the subtilities here… But his tone wasnt so insultant IMO, you guyz can also stop being sissies and make a big deal out of nothing.

At least he’s almost the only one expressing real concern in an argumented and constructed post, he apparently knows what he’s talking about being here from ages, and he has all the right to be pissed at some stuff.

And I thought english talkers were like the most ironical guyz around, I guess I was wrong…

Peace

On-topic:

  • Customisable HUD? (everyone customise his and remove what seems to be “unnecessary”, just make it easier to create a custom HUD, it would be a good addition IMO)

  • Will the game be cvar “locked” or cvar “free” ? By that I mean : will we be able to tweak many things or not (like in recent games)

  • Do you already plan on DLC for maps / customisation / sub-faction / sub-campaign etc? ie : will the Brink world be expendable or is it pretty much all locked down?

Well, nothing really new anyway.

Rather things already answered :slight_smile:
About DLC/new ****, they said that there are currently busy doing the game. Once the game will be released, they’ll start thinking about doing new content. (And BTW Bethesda doesn’t do free DLC for PC, so fu-ck it).

About cvar customization, is has been said that it should be close to what previous SD game offers.

(tokamak) #47

Bethesda doesn’t seem to have produced many multiplayer games though. A singleplayer can afford to charge for free-DLC much easier as it doesn’t fracture the playerbase.

How did those MW2 packs work out? I’m curious.

(LyndonL) #48

The MW2 packs worked out well unfortunately… :frowning:

(H0RSE) #49

  1. If you unlock things by completing challenges with one character, will they still be unlocked for any new characters you create, or will you have to re-unlock them for all characters?

  2. will game options like VOIP on/off, FF on/off, Player ranks restricted/open, High level abilities allowed/disallowed, be available for all platforms or just PC?

(tokamak) #50

Alright, if it doesn’t fracture a playerbase then I’d be willing to pay more for DLC (as in actual content and not patches like balance-fixes).

(Apples) #51

Well the BF2 + BF2 SF stuff worked also well, cuz its just a choice you can make, either you buy the upgrade and can play on SF servers, either you dont and can only play on “vanilla” servers… Its wasnt a problem in BF2 cuz of the huuuge playerbase.

But yes, I agree that with a smaller playerbase the more you fractionate the community the less the game become atractive and dynamic.

I would defiantly like to know about meele, and also abilities.

(TJskwared) #53

my question: so brinks about bribing the individual to play as a team with xp, more xp for the more you help your team right, so what about when people level cap? will you be collecting xp for some other reason after your capped or will you just presteige or something?

(H0RSE) #54

will you be collecting xp for some other reason after your capped or will you just presteige or something?

They said you can transfer XP between characters, so this may be a reason to continue to get XP after you hit the cap.

(Jamieson) #55

Swapping XP between characters? wow that just like power leverling in MMO’s. You don’t want your new charcter to suck? just get loads of xp on your super strong max lvl charter and swap it over to make your new character super strong.

(DarkangelUK) #56

It’s to stop all the body whiners whinging that they need to start a new bodytype from scratch cos they can’t swap.

Seeing as this isn’t an MMO, and leveling up your guy doesn’t make him “super strong,” I just see it as a solution to help eliminate the grind.

(maxtalent) #58

Well, though probably not really worth the money, the maps were meh cept for some of the ones from CoD 4

(LyndonL) #59

It’s been discussed that changing your loadout once everything is unlocked will cost XP too. I can’t remember if that was a suggestion, or fact though…

<Regarding MW2 Map packs>
Yes it’s been long since established that the packs were crap. Basically only one or two new maps and then rehashed old ones… But that doesn’t stop the masses from forking over the $$$ for them. And while people keep doing that, it sure as hell isn’t going to dissuade the publishers from charging for it.
