Topic: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

Here are my predictions.

1. December 17th, destroyers will come in! They will, I'm not being optimistic about this at all big_smile

2. Axe won't survive for much longer, that much is a given. Once all of the competent members have joined other corps, the rest will probably declare themselves as serfs to another alliance. Maybe the French alliance.

3. Q2 2011: Joke's alliance will still be largely irrelevant. Norhoop will sink into the sea as the devs realize how pointless it is.

1) I doubt it. I bet something terrible will happen. R-r-r-roll back anyone?

2) I thought AXE was doing well? We'll see.

3) Enclave will join Joke and help us kill them all again. smile

I just want to see collision detection, even though it has been said that it is unlikely.

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

On Dec 17th, they will release the Carebear mech. It will come standard with tier 4 Hug-a-bot arms and light green fur; by farming 4,000 tier 1 kernels you will be able to change the fur to pink.

Also:

Deleting cargo will be removed from the game.
Effect of skills on the Arkhe will be limited to basic skills only and capped at level 4 (no more nav 10).
Heavy haulers will be released with a capacity of 120U (triggering a QQ heard around the world).
Players will be able to delete 1 alt at no charge, and an escalted EP fee for each addtional deletion.
There will be no ability to respec.
The range of the landmark system will increase to 1200 meters.

M2S will embrace the new Carebear mech and require all members to own and operate said mech at all times.

No, I die too quickly to recognize the mech model type... but I did see a flash of pink once.

Edit: Crush-a-bunny mech was the previous model that had a bug in the Hug strength detection module, but I though all those were recalled.

I predict the next patch will be delayed until... the 22nd. But don't quote me on that.

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

On the 17th, I predict... nothing will happen.

On the 22nd, I predict...

1) A mech and heavy mech cargo bot at 160U and 240U

2) Updated corporation features such as a shared transaction history, more assignable roles, and a better bulletin board

3) More options and filters added to the market window

4) Some kind of stealth module and/or a solution to the visible range issue

5) Visual updates to the terrain (more colors, eye candy, etc.)

6) Updated server reliability and lag reduction

7) Terraforming module introduced for removing those useless impassible rocks

8) Targeting system updated



[...Well I can hope, right?]

Speaking of Perpetuum's future, is there a roadmap somewhere, a stuff-to-do list ? I'm new here and didn't see any.

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

i. Next patch will only have server&client stability and issues fixing.

ii. Next BIG patch (or 1st expansion) will bring terraforming and P.O.S (and just that is fine)

iii. During December and January we'll see more advertising and, I do hope that we don't loose people in the beginning of the 2nd month.

iv. final, we need to have more rewards (of some kind) in the beta/gamma/delta... islands.

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

My predictions on some matters being discussed recently:

EP cost for character deletion will be dropped within 2 months
Attribute respec won't happen at all
Farming of starter bots depriving n00bs of the spawns will be "fixed" within 2 months
Ewar will be nerfed a bit within 2 months
Overhaul of the radar system within 9months (what it will be I can't predict)
Overhaul of beta islands within 9 months (also can't predict what it will be)

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

My prediction:

M2S ends up owning all of the outposts, and anyone who wants to get on any beta island is swarmed by 50 of us in heavy mechs.  The game grinds to a halt as our advantage over everyone else is so vast that it is impossible to catch us.  The devs are then forced to reset the server and perma-ban every M2S member.

Re: In this topic make your predictions for the future of Perpetuum!

I predict world domination of Nia by Russians.

Edit: Also, the devs will release 36 new islands of the exact size and shape of the current islands, thus continuing their strange preoccupation with symmetrical geography. The new influx of this real estate will lead to vast swathes of...land... being claimed in the following manner:

"Yes, yes...this is a fertile land and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land and we will call it...ThisLand."
--"I think we should call it your graave."
"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
