YOU ARE FREAKING OUT, MAN.

So what you're saying is if i pay i get less grief?

Can't put my finger on it, but it seems that this TR suit, just seems out of place. As if it didn't have the same art style and nit and grit like the others we've seen now. I remember the first TR rexo picture we got, I thought it was a WIP and not the final .

The spotting system in Enemy Territory was nice. More specifically, it was great to mark minefields that would then need an engineer to defuse.

The spotting system in PS1 was fine as is: if your squad saw something, it would get on your radar as long as anyone in the squad was looking at it.

Maybe "spotting" is meant to give a static "blip" on the map for friendlies.
e.g. spotting a lodestar would mark its location where it is spotted and not track its movement

No way, just talking about ways to make grief relevant deterrent when someone can easily and freely create new accounts to do stuff like TK everyone defending a base to make it easier for their real team to capture, etc. more punishing for younger characters, forgiveness when actively killing enemies, opt-in for the attacked player to actually assign grief, grief reports in sprees cause faster repercussions, that sort of thing.

I like your forward thinking on countering asshats.

one thing that annoyed me in PS1 was somebody could go jump on markov and emerald, go on a tking spree, then go back to werner, shit needs to be game wide.

What about you post a thread with your current design ideas and potential issues that could occur, and we have a community wide brainstorming about that stuff.
Worst case: we learn that community wide brainstorming doesn't work. More likely: we get a awesome and working grief system.

I really hope we'll not see this helmet on TR HA in the game. It looks like "helmet is not in his place". Isnt it from light assault?

Imo the whole "Hardcore" system from BF works well, i.e. names over friendlies, nothing over enemies, and if you spot it shows the enemy on the map/minimap instead of painting him for all to see directly on the HUD.

Looks so badass, excellent work on the camo!

I'm really loving the camo, can we get a higher quality pic soon? I'd also like a comparison shot of all of the TR, NC, VS side-by-side, if possible.

One question: will camo going to be a free customization option or something bought from the SOE store? Seems like one of those cosmetic options that would be seen in a store.

did highby just accidentally confirm, that the whole game will be a free download????

if assheads are able to just create a new account to cause mischief, that has to be the case!?!

if the game was sold boxed and only free to play after purchase, the grief should not be a problem because you can always punish the account associated with the key that was in the box of the game.

but if everybody can create free accounts without having to purchase a game-key these assheads will have to be adressed (along with the hackers of course, who cannot be banned without account-keys)

Indeed he did.

But i expected that anyway. Look at Free Realms and DCUO. Thats the way SOE goes from now on, and quite successfully it seems. Free Realms generates quite some cash, and DCUO just went crazy since its F2P

But yea, grief. I shall do a thread, brb.
