Squad Leader Archive

hi thi and dliune!

how are things going around here? (me = too lazy to read all the posts)

Same old stuff really. Coasting along til the revamp comes along. Pub 10 will be, if they keep the schedule, three months from now. Pub 8 hasn't hit TC yet. Once it does its usually 2 weeks to live, two weeks to the next pub to hit TC. Figure they code more than those two weeks in between...We need to get our stuff really cranking by mid April for certain.

One shot. Once they code it they are highly unlikely to rip it apart and restart. So lets get it right the first time...there won't be a second.

A revamp isn't simply a bug hunting expedition. Its a re-coding of the profession basically. SL post-revamp likely won't look very similar to it pre-revamp. Those in Beta 3 remember the BH and how drastically it changed just before release. That's the same kind of thing we are looking at here. We have to weed out what we want to keep and what we want to have. New abilities that give us better leadership tools would be the goal I believe. New combat abilities also. There are those who want to be support and those who want to be combat. I take that to mean the profession should be a blend of both to support both playstyles. If you don't want to be support then you still have the tools to be combat. If you don't want to be primary combat then you have sufficient support tools.
