Can we get rid of the ridiculous teal racing stripe running down the side of every Vanu vehicle? At least let vehicle camo cover it if applied.

I think the vanu heavy assault looks BA, but the rest of our classes need some tuning to make them look more awesome. Also I don't think the colors are the problem I think more ppl tend to like to 2 shot ppl with NC shotguns or mow down ppl with lots of bullets then just shoot teal lasers, maybe if they made our guns shoot cooler looking projectiles. Or gave us more original guns like the lasher.

I actually yell "shut the fuck up" every time I hear him go "Permission to lose this fight is denied!"

What's he doing to help the war effort other than yelling condescending crap over the open mic?

Meanwhile:

I don't think VS being purple is the root cause of them not being ultra super popular. Spyro the Dragon is purple, and he is reasonably popular.

ALSO: The teal racing stripes stay or they get replaced with purple ones. It is a requirement that your faction color be SOMEWHERE on your vehicles. For VS that means purple or teal. For NC that means blue or yellow. For TR that means red, because black is too basic to use as our racing stripe.

What happened with the NC Female Player Voice?
She went from have the same actress as the TR one to a squeaky pre-teen...
Since the Male Voice is some Surfer Dude, are we suppose to conclude the NC make use of barely legal, barely pubescent soldiers?

...In fact I think the VS and the TR still have the same actress, she just uses different style and inflections of speech.

I'd pay for that

Hopefully we'll get some model changes too; the MAX in particular looks stupid.

But I like fighting giant enemy crabs

True NC right here

oh wait

Like seriously, if I could have one alteration to the game it would be to either mute the "faction commander" voice-overs or just get that one line deleted. It is the stupidest line in the entire game and the most unprofessional statement from an otherwise very professional-sounding faction.

And I could never stand the NC because of their voice macros. Sound like a motley crew of unprofessional dimwits.

"I think I broke it!" ...I think you did too.

We got some updates!

Here are the before and after pics of the Vanu classes with the colour changes (more grey, less teal basically)

And here are the new camo coverages for each class.

And here is the reddit discussion about this.

A successful badassification in my opinion!

Ok, buff the night vision sights and the flashlight ASAP!

Who want to bet that new look will almost be impossible to see at night?

I seriously doubt Ray would remove our purple and teal colours, all he's doing is just adding a bit more bad ass dark grey on our suits to make us more appeling to the new players.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks, it should come out very soon since it's just a few new grey textures.
I'm also wondering how the new character models for all three sides will look like in the future.

Ghoest9 · 2013-04-17, 01:15 PM

Well getting rid of men i tights can only help.

But as long as the team color is purple, that is going to keep a significant number of players away when your player base is primarily western young men.

Twasta · 2013-04-17, 01:31 PM

I just hope that the VS infil stays the same. I love the way camouflage is applied there.

Selerox · 2013-04-17, 01:40 PM

Looking forward to this a lot, although I'd like to see some model tweaks to really give Vanu an "edge" that they've been sorely lacking.

As for the voiceover, it always kinda reminded me of Donald Sutherland...
