Und noch ein paar Info-Schnippsel zum CW ab 05:16 und ab 06:15 etwas mehr Details und zum neuen Matchmaking mit Pre-Lobby.

Sprechen die immer so künstlich tief? Klingt auch ziemlich nach auswendig gelernt und vorgetragen.
Ist dennoch sehr informativ. Danke für den Link

[Laserhupe]

hört sich schon spannend an, was denen so im kopf rumgeht...aber zu sehen ist davon leider bisher noch rein gar nichts. dh. für mich ist ein release 21.09.13 mehr als zweifelhaft.

und ich kann mir nicht helfen, aber Brian Ekman erinnert mich immer irgendwie an den hier

[EvangelionUnit]

hmmm lässt aber mehr fragen offen als es beantwortet, wenn man Davion spielt kann man nur Kurita oder Laio bekämpfen ? hat also zwei fronten, oder gibts nur eine wo es ne feindfront und ne heimatfront gibt ?? also Kurita VS Davion
Steiner VS Marik, Laio VS Laio ? XD

der nächste punkt: werden dann merc corps so wie die top kompanien bei WoT ? kämpfen um ein paar felsbrocken die ein paar MC oder ER PPC's und mechs abwerfen ?
und was hindert leute dann daran immer die seite zu joinen für die es in der woche am besten aussieht ?

Hier eine Zusammenfassung speziell zum CW (wer möchte kann es ja übersetzen)
http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__2191517

It's a much more revealing interview than the previous one.

Here is the summary of the CW information discussed in Brian's section of the interview:

Factions

• Fight for ownership of Fronts instead of specific planets.
  
  • Home Front
    
  • Opposing Front
    
  • Ownership flips back and forth through winning combat drops
    
  • House vs House
• Faction wide bonuses for winning/owning Fronts
  
  • Passive Benefits for ownership
    
    • EXP bonus
      
    • New item(s)
      
    • Access to new technology
• Membership in House or Famous Unit
  
• Work your way up the ranks of the Faction

Merc Corps (Guild Players)

• The group names it
  
• Create your own ranks
  
• Fights for a specific system (a single planet)
  
  • Schedules battles with other Merc Corps for planetary ownership
    
  • Occupation rights for winning/owning
    
    • Income benefits
      
    • Items
      
    • New Mechs
• Can form Companies and Lances

Und hier das komplette Video

TL;DNW summary for the lazy:

Russ does part 1:
+Been 6 months since Open Beta, have done a lot
-new mech, hero mech every month
-new map every few months
-new simplified mechlab that helps newbies through the complex BT rules
-new user experience greatly improved (testing grounds, new user controls, etc)
+Moving to 1.0 launch Late Summer 2013
+Three main features they are pushing in media now
+12v12 in next 60 days (after GDC - so 45 days or so now)
+User Interface 2.0
-achievements
-new user breadcrumbs
-complete revamp
+Community Warfare is coming for launch
-faction based gameplay - join a house, join a merc corps, play a lone wolf
-earn loyalty points in a house
-battle over possession of a planet, which gives in-game benefits
-will add new level of depth

Bryan does Part 2:
+CW will be the meta game over the match play
+Do play-now if a lone wolf (game as it is now essentially)
+Can join a faction - join a house without needing to worry about joining a guild, meet times, etc
-Gain passive boosts
-Your matches will help determine the game map
+Guilds
-your own ranks, your own name, companies, and lances
-fight for specific systems
-schedule matches against other merc corps for planet possession
-winning gives you occupation rights
-occupation rights give you access to income, items, mechs (and change the map)
+New Lobby system
-jump into a pre-lobby where they can bring up to 4 mechs
-customize the mech (camo spec, mech used)
-vote on the next map (cold, hot, etc)
-can tailor the mechs on your dropship before the map this way
-map will be available in the lobby (full screen), so you can pre-setup lances
+Will now have Lance Commanders (3) as well as Company Commander
+Commanders will be given rewards, and team members will be given rewards for following (XP + CBill)
+Factions fight for fronts, not specific systems
-House vs House
-Results will help flip a front
-Front control give passive bonus (tech, mech, xp)

+Looking for a balance between players saying "its good" and "its bad" on weapons
+They look for topics that come up a lot for things to be addressed (though not necessarily how community wants)
+ECM is example
-they see the issue is that the mechs are invulnerable

+Working on joystick control
+E3 prototype was ambitious, still playing around with it

+Looking at Steam, and have discussed with them
+No official word, still evaluating

+Working on other regions/local servers
+Have not decided how it will work
+Trying to avoid IP Blocking, forced servers, sharding... but it may come to that - still working on it
+Look for final word in next few months

+Occulus Rift looks cool, nothing official - just started looking at it
+Taking their time with all peripherals before integration

Die Jungs ackern hart für ihr Geld. Und machen einen guten Job, das muss man ihnen lassen. Kenne Entwickler die ihr Spiel nicht so oft Patchen, Content nachreichen und Hotfixes raushauen.
Großes Lob von meiner Stelle. .

Hm aber interessant ist einges schon...

• andere GameModes erst in Zuge des CW
  
• Schade: Ein MercCorp kann nicht am CW Teil haben, also nix mit: habe gerade einen Planeten für Kurita von Davion erobert, Haus Liao was zahlt ihr dafür
  
• Public Test Server
  
• Durch das HSR zu hoher DPS - wird reduziert
  
• oh diese Daten zur Waffennutzung - ähnlich wie die Heatmaps auf den Karten - mist ich will die Zahlen haben
  
• na gut Poptarging is freilich nicht erst mit dem Highlander aufgetreten
  
• PPCs werden überarbeitet

Was soll dieser "Public Test Server" sein?
Ähnlich dem "Tribble" in STO? pre-released content server?

NGNG Podcast 0079 / Diskussion

Von Listless Nomad zusammengefasst


Just listened to the relevant portion of the podcast and want to share the highlights with those who aren't able to listen.

Russ states that it's possible clan mechs will be introduced similarly to the project Phoenix program "We've thought about it. We don't know for sure. There is a reasonable chance. We have a process now right? We did it with founders, we did it with Phoenix. It's a great way for the community to say 'we want a top notch mechwarrior product'...it's feasible. Right now, there is no plan cooking, brewing."

Clans will be worked on after all other major features are completed. "We've got our plates so full, to get this game launched. To get these major features that we are launching in 2013. Clans are not the priority. Once we get those major features done, clans are the next major thing.

The 1:1 timeline in the universe is dead as far as Russ is concerned in terms of setting deadlines for features to be done. "My opinion is, the timeline was interesting at first, was kind of cool, but it's not a driving factor anymore. Its not a very important aspect. Its more important to have a quality game"


Russ admitted that CW can't be worked on fully until UI 2.0 is finished "Community warfare is heavily reliant on UI 2.0. If you think about all the things we are going to be doing with factions, and everything else - it's one thing to spend all the time building those into a user interface that we have currently that is going to be completely rewritten or is incapable of doing it properly...so it's added some extra time before we can get these features into people's hands. But we are just trying to do everything the right way."

12v12 should be out within 30 days "All I can say for sure is it looks like 12v12 will hit in July. We are within a week of public testing. We should be testing it internally tomorrow. ...We are within 30 days or so, maximum, of getting that into public hands.

UI 2.0 hopefully before launch (Late August, Early September) "Really trying to get that out before our late summer launch."

CW will come out in phases and more depth will be added as they go along "Community Warfare is definitely going to come out in phases. It would be best to let Bryan speak to it, because I can't speak to it as well as he can. It's going to come out in several phases so you will have stuff this fall for sure, and then more depth will be added."

Danke dir Fanatic.

Clans are not priority", was hab ich gelacht (den Abbuchungsbeleg fürs OVerlordpaket streichelt)

[DLFReporter]

Klingt immernoch alles ganz vernünftig.

Da ich selber im IT-Projekten unterwegs bin, kenne ich die Ankunft des Projekte in der Realität zu genüge und freue mich drüber, dass die Jungs dies nun endlich einmal erkannt haben
