I heard they were adding an an adjustable shower nozzle to guns ... (for rock paper scissors type interaction vs certain types of armor).
Then they say specials will cost time not HAM ... well they already do cost time unless you are speedcapped. So the main thingI want to know is how will rifle speed mod play out in the CU.
wish I could tell you but it is NDA material

it's more like deadly serious - we can't even state the terms of the NDA cause that is under NDA (a minor violation to even tell you that ) FORGIVE ME TIGGS T_T

So there's an NDA on the NDA?
Is there any apparent threat/reason for such secrecy?

Here'sa question which may or may not be under the NDA.
I've heard everyone will have a change to chage combat professions if they wish once it's published. Well, can anyone tell me how this helps? Because how will you know which profession to choose if you've never tried them before?
Until the devs say this is true or not no one under the NDA can say.
Actually to expand on that. When under the NDA we have to be very careful to only repeat what the devs say (of course we can highlight I think) in their public posts. If this is true and if the post on it we can confirm or deny based on what they say.

That isn't the reason for the NDA. One thing to remember is that the info right now is only preliminary. It is subject to change based on how it works out in testing. So there is a good chance that a fair amount of the information, if they were to release it now, would be changed as the testing goes on.
The other thing is that the NDA helps the free flow of ideas between those involved.
Hmm, there has to be more to it than that (thinks: paranoid lawyers), but it's not worth us debating is it

So far nobody "official" has responded to this, which bothers me (I'm either benig ignored/overlooked or I'm hitting on an unresolved issue which they hence won't talk about because they don't know how to fix).

Currently we do know of things that mitgate this... but as it is NDA I could not reply in a meaningful manner

Thanks for saying that much. I look forwards to hearing more. In fact, is there anyway I can get in on the combat revamp testing at this late stage?
all I can say is apply for CURB beta
