CERTIFICATION SYSTEM!!!! OH DAMN YEEEE!

[Infektion]

The way they are mentioning the certs, kinda has me on alert... "if not thousands"? Dude... how many certs could you have? And after that, how many certs are you adding that are completely idiotic... I mean, certs that lower the cone of fire? I'm assuming that's just an accuracy advancement. I find that cheap, CHEAP, EXTREMELY CHEAP. This is an FPS in it's core, not fucking preschool. If I wanted all these skills and trinkets that lower cool downs or make my accuracy better, i'd play an MMORPG. It just sounds like they are honestly looking too deep into it, trying to make this game really in-depth to character development, but I see the bad, what might and most likely will happen... I don't like it very much.


A better idea would be to add things as such as "merits", BUT unlike the merit system in PS1, depending on the merit, the bonus. Being so you don't just pick it up, hell no, you gotta go for it, a marksman merit for [Insert weapon name] granting tighter COF achieved by killing said number of enemies, provides [%] tighter COF depending on difficulty rating of said achievement.

Now, then we start feeling like we achieved our bonuses, not just picked them from a litter. SMED, you asshole, I hope you read this fuck ass response to your fuck ass cert system! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:



That's my rant....

Uh oh.

Yup, judge and dismiss it before you even know what it is, let alone played with it.

Speculation is one thing, but getting angry over that speculation is just silly.

Edit: And that bit at the end just makes you sound childish. Come on, you should be beyond that sort of tantrum.

Haters gonna hate (somebody had to say it).

On a less stupid note, Im quite happy to wait until I see it INGAME before I start any whining. Higby (iirc) said that they would be happy to change things if they find out that they dont work in beta anyway.

oh, i'm sorry, did I give you guys the impression of me seriously raging? No no no, i'm just making a funny. You guys are silly, silly goose. :rofl:

I don't want certs tied to merit at all. You'd just end up with people farming a certain type of kill and not bothering to play the game. It'd get stupid.

And besides I don't think they intend you to earn ALL of the certs, just the certs you want to focus in. So if you want armor you focus on armor certs, if you want to be a pilot you focus in piloting certs. As you go on they get more specific and longer to train. So you go from general flying certs to Mossie specific certs or Reaver specific certs.

Personally I think it's great, you'll be able to really customize your character to your own play style and really excel in your chosen class instead of everything feeling so generalized like in PS where a pilot is a pilot is a pilot pretty much. So if you want to really pimp out your skills with a Reaver and sacrifice other area's to do so, you can do that.

I'll wither the storm and see how it plays out before establishing any sentiment on it.

.... as should any logical being..

I can't quite figure out the point of this thread so I am doing the only logical thing.

Please don't create threads of this nature that have no value at all.
