I bet that the content (racial variants of dropsuits, weapons, and vehicles) promised at Fanfest 2013 will not arrive on schedule. They said it would come in the near future (near future was defined as 12 months or less); this means by next Fanfest basically, so we should have the racial weapons (rifles, knives, pistols), racial vehicles (LAVs, HAVs, dropships), and racial dropsuits (missing light and heavy frames) around early May.
How many of you think we will actually have all that stuff by then?
I am almost certain it will be just another big disappointment, like the promise of PVE by 2012 (didn't happen), MTAC mechs by early 2013 (not happening), MCC commanders + deployable installations + 64 player battles promised in 2009 (4 years later, still not here), the 48 player battles promised in 2012 (not happening despite the game is still advertised as 48 player) and EVE players hiring Dust players to fight over their stuff (pretty much the premise of the game, still not happening anytime soon). Prepare yourself for imminent disappointment.
I'm calling it. |

I'm calling it. 1.6 all racial varients are suppose to be released.. thats what they said... it wont happen though just for the fact that its CCP. Can you link the source that claims all racial variants are suppose to be out then? |

I can't give you that goal date for obvious reasons...
But I think I can get away with saying we should have the racial lineup of existing suit types long before next fanfest :)
(Please don't shoot me, IA) That is good.
I noticed only dropsuits are mentioned though, excluding weapons and vehicles... perhaps it means there is uncertainty regarding if these will also be out by the promised date. |

I'm calling it. Keep in mind that the man who directed Battlefield 2142 was hired to CCP about a month ago, and appears to be occupying CCP Jian's position. Look at what they've done for 1.4, and what they have planned for 1.5. I think the time for pessimism may finally be at an end. None of that is a promised racial variant. I'll stop being pessimistic when i see new weapon, dropsuit, or vehicle models. |

Still betting on it. Almost half a year, and no new racial variants. Nothing coming in 1.5, and nothing coming in 1.6 either. |

I would have expected a CPM member to better keep track of this stuff. I know but promised when? there is no month assigned to it. Near future defined as 6-12 months. That video was made at Fanfest 2013, which I believe was around April or May (you should know better than me). EDIT: Here is a link to remind you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKYglEoJyNc |

I'm calling it. Do you think they will add racial variants for vehicles in 1.7? Would that be the most logically thing to do? I really really hope so, but I really don't see it happening since they're not even done handling the vehicles that we currently have now. The vehicle rebalancing won't happen until 1.7 (confirmed not coming in 1.5, or 1.6), it would seem too good to be true AND also get racial variant vehicles. |

The vehicle rebalancing won't happen until 1.7 (confirmed not coming in 1.5, or 1.6), it would seem too good to be true AND also get racial variant vehicles. Yeah but wouldn't that be a good chance to add the other variants and not have more problems down the line? I don't know how long it will take but having more vehicle variants will surely bring more people in. J can imagine all the EvE players that are strictly RP (I think that's the term) would only play if they had the missing variants; not just the vehicles but the infantry too. But if I confused you, my question was. Would adding vehicle variants in 1.7 will be yo hard to balance now then later, when they are completely starting from "scratch." (Pretend CCP gets **** done on time lol) I think it would be logical to add them after 1.7 assuming 1.7 does bring the vehicle changes. After 1.7 they can fix whatever problem there is with the rebalancing, then they should add the racial vehicles. |
