Thread: Combat Upgrade Closed Beta

Everything is still under a NDA.

But I will say this: The Combat Upgrade is dealing with combat only. New features will be done during the profession revamp stage. So for example. Smugglers, while being in the CU, are not going to be recieving the smuggling revamp. But thats already been stated anyway.

So, once I get some information I can release, I will post it. Don't expect anything until after the holidays though.

Ahh, so can I take it that they give you guys a blanket "You can't say anything" instead of a more specific ban on specifics? Oh well. I guess I won't get the only Christmas present that I really wanted--information. I guess I'll just have to *sniff* try and enjoy a *sniff* Christmas without it. I don't think it's possible, and I'll probably end up cold and alone currled up on the couch without any freinds or family, what with being deprived the one thing that would bring a glimmer of light to this otherwise bleak and dreadfull holiday. Don't cry for me, I'll be doing enough of that for the *sniff* both of us.

Another few.


Will we have any class-specific equiptment/gear?

Will the effect of any of our abilities,passive or active,be based off of the size of the group (besides HAM costs, like that of /steadyaim)?

Will any titles be changed?

Will anything be changed with the orginizational structure of groups?

They spoke of, some months ago,a change in the way that HAM is used. Are they still headed in that direction?


General (yes/no) answers would be sufficient. If you can't answer at this time, please keep these questions in mind for when you can answer.



P.S.

I'm asking in regaurd to both the CU and our own revamp.

Ooo, here's one!


Can you post (copy/paste) the NDA?

I wouldn't mind reading just what it says.

Oh sounds interesting, so we can wait for that in the Squad leader revamp?



Lol ok thats a joke anyway the nda will be out only when the CU will be in test server or we can have some hope to get info before that?

For MOD's sake, tell us something! LIE! I won't know the difference!


Convince me to wait around for this, and not scoot off to WoW. I don't want to sit here because "It's gonna be great." I don't have that much faith. Give me some evidence, man!





if we could we would... but if we did... we would be kicked, banned and then sued.... so not much we can say


but I can point this out to you as the devs have stated the following publicly:



copied from Gordon Walton's message






Comments which will be addressed by Combat Upgrade



"New faction armour"


"Balance out classes"


"more armor types"


"Have combat more immersive, more interactive"


"Increased reasons for teamwork in combat"


"every movie and book I've read has had primarily ranged combat"


"give us something to do that doesn't require clone combat templates in the same armor with the same weapons in the same place"


"make factional armor worth wearing"


"the thing that really ruins the game is the Buffs and food stuff in PvP it all counts on being Buffed and ready"


"More types of weaponry"


"I should not be able to solo Gnarled Rancors by myself"


"I hate needing to buff in order to hunt"


"it would be fine if the game got back to group playing again no more soloing high lvl mobs"


"Moving away from "Melee-Centrism"


"Get rid of titanic BUFFs and uber weapons"




There is much more than this that Combat Upgrade addresses but I thought it was important to show that we are working on the things you want in combat with this major effort. We will start rolling out the detailed information on Combat Upgrade as it exits the alpha test early this year, and enters closed beta. Please sign up for the Combat Upgrade closed beta here if you are interested in helping us test and tune it before it hits the Test Center.
