Core Combat

[Aen]

It's kinda early for a expansion already, and Im sure there will be ppl leaving cause of it, but wtf, I'm getting it!!

I think that the expansion pack is great. Alien technology and underground caverns, this is going to be great. There is a slight problem though. What about the people who cant afford the expansion what happens to them? Not saying that i cant afford it but for the people who cant that just sucks. And will we have to start our characters over. Will we be able to go higher battle ranks? I sure as hell hope so. I think it will be great and im really looking forward to it. If u would like to discuss it directly with me E-mail me at [email protected].

I dont see why people would leave cuz of an expansion. it has everything we've been asking for. at least it gives us something to look foward to.

You dont NEED the pack, so I dont see why people would leave.. it is optional afterall

[Navaron]

I think the people saying that they're leaving aren't responding to the fact that there is a new exp pack, but rather the priorities and positioning of the dev team and soe.

Platoons? Not in Core Combat
Lodestar? Not in Core Combat
No Bugs? Not in Core Combat
Dancing strippers that will give you everything you want? Not in Core Combat

The whole concept has me intrigued, so I'll be getting it.

From what little I've read, there's still free additions and tweaks that will be made to the core game over the next few months. Just need to wait and see what happens.

What!!! No stripers in core combat!!! If your right about this then I'm quiting PS!!! J/k and hey we can still hope because you've been *cough* wrong! *wheeze* about the *cough* *cough* expansion. So we still have hope, well I still have hope...

Oh and sorry I was coughing a little there, allergies, and you would never be wrong about anything.

look, the thing is that they aint really giving us what we want. We want to fly in space not dig a hole in the ground. They should add all the things they promised us first then think about an expansion... it should be at least a year before they bring that out, now i know why platoons havent been put up, thev've been working on PS:CC while we wheep over what this game could have been. Im just playing it every now and then already, Markov aint got any people left and outfits are splitting up like crazy, i hope PS doesnt go the way for the gamecube, we can lose it this soon.

Personally i think they are coming out with an X-pack to early, but it does fill at least some of the requests players have had, for instance, urban combat, a reason to defend (after all your outfit isn't gonna give it's +5 damage crystal up easily) new maps and new weapons (artillery for instance). It still doesn't have alot of the other things people want, such as platoons, or the facility benifits, but lately i have been noticing little things that seem to hint that they are preping for those, but are simply to stupid to actually document any of the changes, although nothing for platoons.

Edit: or at least, effectively urban combat, it isn't house to house, but very heavy CQB with lots of terrain variability, and places to hide.

Edit again (i love that button): it could also drag fights more into the open, aside from the statement about objectives to draw fights into the open, if you know someone is trying to get that +5 damage crystal to there base, it might just be a good idea to take a few reavers, some combat engys and see if you can snag it while they're moving it.

Flying around in space is the second expansion that'll come out next summer.

What the story will be that giant Vanu orbital installations and ships will "phase" in after laying dormant somewhere in the folds of space-time. Obviously all 3 factions will flock to space to secure these installations.

You can mark those words. I think its a safe bet

Id say 3rd expansion... since water seems the next logical step and has been talked about extensivly, I see the next expansion beeing water combat, then followed by space

[Hamma]

There is a dev poll that asks what features you would like to see first.

[PrimeD]

personaly i think that the new cavens and urban areas will do either 1 of 2 things. 1 it will spread battles out way to much. or 2 the surface will look real empty. but thats just my opinion.

[kreeten]

I totally agree with the point that when the expansion comes out, except for those who wont purchase or can not afford which i see as not too many, The surface of Auraxis will be a ghost town for the near future.
