Hear the news on Ask The Devs!? RACE TRACKS, DUEL ARENAS AND MORE ON THE SANCTUARY!!!

[KeviN]

Exotic weapons? Wow, that brings up a few weird images.

[Lartnev]

Fear the exotic weapon of doom!

The night they include these features the continents will be empty, novelty factor will wear off soon after and they'll get casual use

[Breed]

Yeah, like when the introduced Lodestars =)
We had more Lodestars than we had infantry that night lol.

The main advantage for the "scrimmage" arenas is that outfits can actually take these players who don't understand "squad combat" and teach them group coordination. That's currently only possible on the battlefield, where you can't go "Damnit...he messed up his assignment, ok people...back to the beginning of the battle and lets try that again."

I don't know for a fact that it'll change anything, but if it builds up more squads acting like real squads...I'll be quite happy.

This was my main concern, and if it doesn't happen, then this will be great.

If this does get implemented, we will have many people in the sanc broadcasting to fight someone constantly and wanting to duel. IMO.

Own them and move on...

[SilverLord]

I'm saying it'll be a spam fest and worse than it already is now.

[Baneblade]

Well to be honest, I only worry when I can hear crickets in sanc...

[oddfish]

i'm starting to worry that we may have more guys in the sanc then on the battlefields.. that's all.. i didn't think it was possible at first, but now i'm starting to wonder.. i mean, as with the lodestar thing: when the first came out they were everywhere. i'm concerned that since this is a new thing that people are all going to crowd into it and leave the continents dry for weeks.. that's all. it's probably pretty damned absurd, but hey, you never know.

[Lartnev]

I've always been concerned about deathmatch areas in the sanctuary (that's how this sort of idea started out anyway) that people would just fight in there instead of having to go out, fight pop lock and find the battle.

Perhaps exp could give you arena credits that you can use in the sanctuary, perhaps even use outfit credits to book your own arena.

[Electrofreak]

Actually Dharkbayne, Sporkfire mentioned aerial obstacle courses as a possibility as well in the ask the Devs...

[oddfish]

yeah, i think the new areas should be both a privaledge and a thing you have to schedule to use. like a party room or something, .. that way people won't just spend all their time in there.

The night of the Liberator patch was so very good. Everyone getting nuked, not knowing what was going on exactly....ahh...PS was great :'(
