Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

Idk, they haven't fixed everything they broke.  Why does a patch that's supposed to implement missions break so much other stuff.

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

it's the code.  They have to tinker with the code, have you ever noticed how small the perpetuum game itself is?  Like in terms of MBs? or Gigs?  This is what this team excels at small files big works, they have some graphics they have done that's embedded on the website to an external link, actually quite amazing considering what it is versus how big it is.

We're trying to get them on the test server by the end of the week, maybe early next week.

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

We still need a few days, alpha2s take a bit longer than expected because they have the most teleports and connections/highways of all zones. (14-16 teleports compared to the current 7 or so)

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

do you still draw highways with the ingame-editor?

Yes.

Hersh/Shinjalar are pretty much done now, still working on Tellesis.

Wow such Green Bias.

I am Perpetuum.

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

Zoom, while you are seeding all the islands with generic "question mark npcs" , or "field terminals" how you call them.

can you explain the reasoning behind that system, instead of giving agents the equivalent of "smartphones" to request new missions while on terrain,
or the equivalent to like firefalls dynamic missions that you can simply join in ad-hoc ?

This has been announced for; I don't know, maybe half a year or is it a year or more.  Why do you ask this question now?  The only question should be when is the next update happening.

BTW: When is the next patch gonna hit the test server and/or live??

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

I like it because some missions end next to another terminal.  Two things annoy me, always leaving squads and picking up tokens at field terminals when I'm on the over side of the island

sure, this has been announced for quite some time now.
but as it always is - there is quite a difference between expectations and whats beeing delivered.

with the words from some disappointed Firefall players two years ago: DEVs often promise a Cake, but deliver cookies.

in other words: IMHO the saturation of field terminals on alpha 1 is to high, the average mission length to short.
Given the announcement that alpha2 islands will get each 14!!! teleports, for me it sounds like a little bit of overkill.
Kinda expect that the current alpha1-alpha2-beta1 teleports will be split into "a1-a2" and "a2-b1" teleports with a few meters highway inbetween.

Re: Eta till alpha 2s?

Don't care what it is, if it just finally comes. It has been said to come "in 1-2 weeks" and then _after someone asked_ it was revealed that the next content batch was delayed and nobody knows how long.

I just came back to the game and thought "hell yeah active development and community contact, picked the right time" now after 1,5 months everything is gone and I return to browse the forum of a dead game for the next X months until a2 update finally comes and then? Who knows when the beta1 update will be released if a2 already takes this long.
