Prior to being elected Breakin was foulmouthed and routinely said such things. CCP reviews a candidate's posting history and ejects CPM hopefuls who are deemed too toxic. And yet here Breakin sits. CCP does not care.

Your threats are empty.

Only the immediate history. Breakin did his best to clean up his image a few months before running. In fact, a lot of people did. It was pretty hilarious to watch and I regularly criticized my own people for doing it.

Then quit going on about it and do it. I doubt your claims. If Breakin isn't removed from CPM by end of May we will know you are impotent and routinely make false claims. If he is removed then you will have finally successfully cited something. Either way, I win.

Yep! That's my theory, anyhow. I imagine some vehicle models will be used for scripted, map-specific events more than anything.

If they got really creative you might see Titanfall levels of background interaction with dropships and the like, but I doubt we will ever see players in control of them again. CCP struggled incredibly hard with vehicle balance and when it comes right down to it, half the playerbase was pissed off at any given time.

Rattati's comments about getting away from planets could just mean he wants to see more EVE influence, but somehow I doubt it. It sounded more like he was trying to evade a more technical explanation of some of the failures with the game and dress it up as moving in a positive direction. The land generation in the game was really quite terrible and had all manner of issues (quicksand, janky hills you get stuck in, clipping problems with buildings, etc).

I believe they would pretty much have to scrap that system and get something new or it would be a new generation of the same old complaints. And that system was a pretty big deal to develop the first time around from what I recall. It never even realized its full potential as being completely randomly generated either.

At the moment I doubt they have the resources to fund building an entirely new system for that so they are likely going to just use sculpted terrain for smaller maps. Which means vehicles in all likelihood just wouldn't work anymore. If that turns out to be the case we will likely hear something akin to "This is how things are for now but we plan to change things later", but then nothing will ever change naturally.

And it looks a lot like Dust 514 in terms of assets.

They've had PC builds of Dust that looked and ran better long before it was ever on PS3. Doesn't mean anything.

You got it. Shot taken.

See, the issue I personally have is that CCP has a longstanding history of saying "we will start with this, and then it will be expanded". I feel they have no real development focus and things consistently get scrapped mid-production.

So things get part halfway out there and abandoned, then revisited years later but never to the extent that it was originally supposed to be done. Ambulation, atmospheric flight, modular POS, COSMOS, player-owned deadspace pockets, so on and so fourth...


So when CCP says something like this? I don't believe them. They have never in their history ever finished something that was half-released. Why start believing now?

Geometry/Socket engine was garbage and Shanghai is too broke to get a new one.

Also means they can completely scrap vehicles.

Discuss.
