It's obviously 16v16, 6v6 for demo purposes

You should probably know by now that we have plenty of ambition, just want to do the right things in the right order.

Double jump is enabled by a Gear called Jump Jets

Good to see you Rattatti o7

Love the priorities you peeps are showing, lots to say in support of that but time is short atm, so....

If i had to pick only one thing it would be that all of Project Nova be written with all the back-end groundwork for eventual integration with EVE in place. Integration is the eventual endgame, i presume, if we're ever going to sell that to CCP:EVE we want to have the innate ability to run trials and experiments at low cost and short notice.

Further to that, a flexible modular codebase that could adapt to any conceivable reworks of EVE would also be wise.

The class base is disappointing to me. Greatly disappointing.

This seems to imply that fittings are going away. Sure, that is easier to balance than the nigh limitless combination of DUST, but really no options is even easier to balance. Doesn't mean it is that great for the game.


My optimism isn't dead but this is disappointing.

m-muh classes

Thank you for the clarifications.

But I remain with three questions.

1. What should I play between 1 june and the release of Nova?
2. What are the system requirements of Nova? (will a gtx 950 be sufficient for high settings, ultra not required)
3. What will happen to the vehicles? no vehicles will make nova less interesting to me

and my gues for the 4 times 6 is 32 racial suit/roles would be the pilot suit and MTAC, but that may remain a suprise.

Goodluck

A couple of clarifications

It's a project, not a product. There are no guarantees that this is becomes a ccp game. Fanfest 2016 is a stepping stone for us like Valkyrie and Gunjack and prior Fanfests. That's a bit intimidating. Good that the response is quite positive in the Mission Debrief room where we have personally talked to the hundreds of players who tried it.

It's obviously 16v16, 6v6 for demo purposes

Obviously there is risk/reward, progression and customization, but no offense, not a carbon copy of the way it was in dust 514.

3 Classes (HEavy Support, Main Frontline, Light Recon) each of which branches into Vanguard/Sentinel, ASsault/Support, Sharpshooter/Infiltrator. Each of these 6 roles will branch into themed Faction Role Specializations (Amarr Sentinel = Templar) for a total of 32.

We are using feedback from 3 years of dust, fix the performance and the shooting mechanics. It's interesting to see the sentiment change over night. You should probably know by now that we have plenty of ambition, just want to do the right things in the right order.

An example of gameplay that we took the opportunity to fix on the way, basically just describing what we have at Fanfest, not what may come in the future.

There is now a Scan range circle on your minimap, its width is your scan range, and it's precision is a fall off curve, so ewar is no longer binary.

We also have dynamic scan profiles, crouching lowers, sprinting and firing raises

We also fixed all the FOV/tags/cloak overlaps, f.e.x there is no tag on your head, regardless of scanned status when cloaked

Double jump is enabled by a Gear called Jump Jets

In this build we have active infantry modules, but we will refer to them all as equipment. Plan is for way more play/counterplay with active reps/hardening/dmg mods so fights are less predictable. These mods will have cooldowns and icons on the HUD, familiar to vehicle users from dust

Grenades are equipment, you can toggle to them on the equipment to cook them or quick throw using G

Some VFX that may be lost in the frantic hands of players not familiar with dust

You can see the 5 states of shield on your glove, shield idle, shield shatter, shield starts to recharge, shield pulse and shield 100% filled, pretty nifty (also in third person)

Sniper has double zoom, and a delayed accuracy mode (no quick scoping)

Gatling Gun only has invert spread when zooming, making the two view modes completely different, allowing for pin point accuracy at mid to long range, full mayhem with hipfire at short to mid. Overheat bar circles the lower right quadrant of the reticule.

There is a 3d hit indication arrow replacing the red edge effect, so the shield/armor post process now works as a 2d indicator, for additional situational awareness.

Smart deploy now uses all Uplinks on the map /player, CRU, etc and tries to put you close to battle based on friends and enemies with the back as a last resort, it works quite well to put you near the action. You can also pick your location on the TacMAP

You see the role icon of the loadout you are aiming at (f.ex. if you are not sure if its a vanguard or a sentinel at long range)

There is probably some more stuff that I am forgetting. Gotta head back to Harpa.

What are you talking about?

So it will always be a lobby shooter.


Your skills of deduction are astounding. You probably knew whodunnit in all Holmes books from the preface alone.




Your predecessors had a lot of ambition as well. But since you are aiming to make a 16 v 16 lobby shooter, you aren't really that ambitious.


You typed nothing that changes what was said. 16v16 obviously 6v6 to demo. This isn't even a game and you sh!tposting so hard. Ambition is not your narrow definition.




Top sign you don't know what a hardcore shooter is, you want jump jets.


Who promised a hardcore shooter? And why do mods define a hardcore anything? Besides, a good portion of the player base likes and wanted jumpy jump. Tribes was fun. Nothing wrong with fun.


Anyway, best of luck making a cookie cutter lobby shooter. I'll be off looking for devs who want to make new games, not just respin a mashup of UT2003 and BF2142, with less players.

This post is Super Kami Chazz approved

In one of the interviews with the games executive producer, he mentioned that we would have 32 roles and the ability to swap weapons between different roles. This statement is bizzar because of how it was phrased. Shouldn't it be a given that we could use most weapons interchangeably with different suits? This then leads to the natural question of "why didn't he just say "we would have 32 roles and countless numbers of ways we could customize them" instead?"

So it will always be a lobby shooter.

I just have one question: Where's mah nova knives?

EXCELLENT QUESTION!

I want to see those Minmatar Prison Shivs in my hands.

I want a Gallente Glaive Thrower.

JUST DO IT!!! NOW!!!




4 races X 6 roles = 24
where the missing 8?

Please think again about to add back the fitting stuff
its not complicated for the medium PC player

So it will always be a lobby shooter.
