Just want to comment on 2 things from a recent article.

http://www.usgamer.n...-about-the-game

First off is how detailed they plan on making mechs and mechwarriors. I am glad that they are not afraid to adding complexity.

Secondly, I am curious how Permadeath will figure in the game, especially one that may involve hundreds of hours of gametime. Is Permadeath only for the campaign, or will it always be a threat?

What exactly looks like it comes across for babies?

[Mumuharra]

Lets see if they handle it better than MWO and dont create another very expansive free-to-pay game.
If yes I wait and see how steep the pay-wall and the play-wall will be on this game before I invest a cent.
Rumors are it will not become a FTP game but I think I still prefer to wait and see and buy after release.
But good luck and all the best from heart for your fund raising campaign.

It's not a rumour. They've downright said its not a free to play game.

PvP is the 4M stretch goal. The base game is single player.

yes but the SP campaign does not even get made until the 1 mill dollar mark , i would pay for the Mercenary Campaign the 1.85 mill mark but i have little interest in a random Skirmish mode etc

Really hoping for it though.

Just ignore him, it's a shitposter. Occasionally dumps a one liner and leaves the thread.

I agree, I want more than a skirmish mode as well. By pledging though, I'm hoping to help push it past that 1.85 mark within 35 days. Its just the gamble i'm taking, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I've been watching too much Trailer Park Boys lately. I thought of Mr. Laney when I read "sh*tposter". Lol.

look how ridiculously dumbed down customization is. like I said its for babies...

Spoiler

Umm. looks like the same thing as MWO, just a different base UI.

Although, MWO doesn't have the different types on weapons that are being displayed in the picture. Defiance 'Mech Hunter Autocannon. Defiance B3M Medium lasers. So, does that mean MWO is for babies?

It's called a concept art. You'll literally be able to modify actuators in this game. It will also be following TT rules provided by Catalyst Game Labs. If anything, this game will make customization of MWO feel like for babies.

and? I think that's a good idea, that way we don't get people complaining that it takes X number of clicks to do x function and such.

[orcrist86]

Well, you just won my goober of the day award. The picture is a mockup, not the actual intent. In the live q and a they discussed branded weapons and the ability to customize actuator types and change loadouts; but you would have had to actually be interested in the product to know that.

[Lootee]

I hope customization is very limited. Maybe only allow removing a couple weapons and adding heatsinks or jump jets. The last thing the new game needs is unlimited customization resulting in munchkinass degenerate mechs.

Don't think that'll happen with them.

They're pretty good at making games, and I'd seriously doubt they'd make the same mistake as IGP did.

Supremo. I knew it wouldn't be F2P, that's not what HBS does - they've made maximally viable premium games.

So glad its not f2p though, which is a blight. That is all.

It is actually Stage 4: $2.5M not $4M.

which gives me a thought:

I might do a giveaway involving it
