Topic: Insider's Perception
The long awaited blog is out, and it screams volumes.
Sap changes.
At this point were just trying things for the sake of trying things as it takes very little "time" to change this one. I cant really blame the Dev team, it does little to affect us at all, if not it benefits us even more! All we have to do now, is just do the sap, the quick ones, get the loot and go do something else.
I will hold off on general, this is destroying the game, for now. For Now!
Reading between the lines.
The blog brought along the new lines of gamma is still in beta, and everything will not be changed until more people go out and *** it up again. Insanity and the Dev Team together forever.
More striking is the promising of new "stuff", new balancing of old "stuff". Where are the examples of said "stuff". We are still waiting on artillery, still waiting on new things to buy in the Syndicate Supplies shop. STILL waiting on new things to spend RL money on...
And you come at us with this Blog and expect us to Believe you?
Nervous laughter.
All this new stuff is awesome, I have to say. I fear little change on the power projection front, in fact I expect it to get worse. Why care when your on the winning team (join PHM and deal with our Bullshit and make Nic). But even this made me laugh.
Yes, a new engine is in the works, both for the GUI and the 3D graphics. As you might guess this is a rather large project so at this point I can't really say a solid timeframe for it.
Cool new rework, that's actually AWESOME news, if your past track record was exceptional.
Here is where the laughter/nervousness comes into play.
It's a complete rewrite, basically a Perpetuum 2.0. But this is about the client, doesn't have to do anything with server constraints or similar stuff, like your examples.
Perp 2.0? Awesome, Cool, this is great. Wait, I feel like I'm being trolled. News to come, you will pay for this awesome new, content related, content massive, GUI fix, in cash! I cant throw money at my screen fast enough.
I cant help to feel a small, yes small hit of a full server wipe, and re-launch. Would be in their best business interests I feel.
So 4 Years out? Breath
