Topic: so you hated the T5 idea...

What about the robots?

Using the same 3d models while giving them different role bonuses and names?  Like ewar assault class or ewar hmech?  Autocannon bot?

Thoughts?

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

I'd be happy if they literally used a cube model to denote a new class as long as it added a new class

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

Any content TBH is all we are asking for, show us something that proves you are continuing to develop the game, ie long term goals and ~completion times etc.....

Again no. From tree years of this game i want see NEW content (this mean new modules, new robots, with brand new models and images). Not recycled content.

Perpetuum logic lesson:
All or Nothing = nothing;

I am sure everyone wants new bots with new images and new animation and new sound and new smell, but with the limit DEV team and the slow development cycles. be happy with a compromise. Lets recycle some apsects to gain new partial content.

Get this in your head. You are not going to see new robots or guns because they have noone who does art.

Given that fact retasking unused models, modules and bots is an easy way to make a game more diverse and fun. Eve manages to get close to 10 different ships out of one model. Perpetuum gets 3 only 2 of which are used that all fill the same purpose.. Think how much more fun perpetuum would be if each model had five variations filling specific roles.

Get this in your head that i am still belive. And i know that this no 3d/2d model specialist in dev team right now.

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

I'm afraid that sooner or later it will end up in Mesmer Mk10 fitted with T20 guns.

Better to wait for really new stuff.

Have a productive day, runner!

The shtick behind recycled robots is to avoid the MK1-MK2 pattern of MK2 just flat-out being a better MK1 and nothing else, otherwise it's the stepped progression that turns lower tiers garbage. New types need to be good in some aspects and bad in others.

Cherry on top would be if the new bots required a new type of cortex only found on Beta/Gamma NPCs.

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

Even if cortex will need conquer Zeta islands i wish NEW content, new types of robots with new models and icons.

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

I play in low detailed robots so it doesn't matter to me.

But wouldn't you like to see a new low-detailed robot?

New robot :

The Cube was Nias way of dealing with the constant incoming hijacks of its creations.  Its mysterious levitation and no means of attacking left the first human group confused and recovering from their losses when they locked a unit in the area and were targeted on The Cube itself.  They are still haunted by the 'waht waht' noise it made when it began to call for all friendlies to help it.

It appears to have a target locking interception program that disables (usually) the targeting of friendly units within 500m around it and forcing enemies to lock it instead.  While boasting a tremendous amount of armour and a very slow speed, this 'tank' is a force to be reconed with. 

-Ensi

Ill edit and add more story when im not doing this on my phone at biolife.  ;D

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

I strangely agree with Burial for once, a non MK2 only variant bot would be a nice side step into balance. However I think more simple but yet more likely to give higher dynamic of additional content would be some love to the modules and new types/effects from said new modules.

My 2 cents

Re: so you hated the T5 idea...

Large sized stuff...
Isn't it obvious?

actually, they can offer a floating sphere of Doom with 6 missile launcher (i should have a screenshot of that on my old HDD),
and well, a red glowing, transluent cube is the default for missing geometry, so they can offer that one as well big_smile
