Well, what kind "testing" does PC even need? PC is just another game mode, except the stakes are higher, it's biggest impact will be on the economy, and it'll take far more than a week to see what kind of impact it actually makes. You're thinking too hard about this.

So we get our skills reset on the 6th, but we won't be able to play with the new guns until the 14th?
Basically then we'll have to reinvest in some core skills & whatever suit we fancy, but resist the urge to use a large chunk of SP until the new guns are out over a week later?

You like to taunt & test our will power, don't ya?!?

so we're going to have to do guesswork and save SP to the 15th for new weapons? that's unacceptable CCP, these new guns need to be put in for testing and balancing purposes before you fully release a buggy and unbalanced game.

This is really pointless :S
I would understand if May 6th is everything except PC, and then on May 14th after we got used to the game PC comes in.
Why split up weapons and such along with PC?
Its all ready, what's the point of doing it in two stages.
Especially since the 14th is release day, so that means if something fucks up, you release day.

They will be releasing new weapons and stuff over the next 10 years, they don't need to let us test anything. It would be nice if they let us, but they don't need to.

You're missing the point.
They don't need to, but its the most logical way to do it.
They have the weapons ready, people can play it at Fanfest, why wait another 8 days after 6th of May?

No, these weapons NEED to be tested before the full release, not doing so is a stupid oversight by developers, they're going to end up making something way too OP/UP, calling it now

Can you please avoid the usage of profanity language in your post?

Thank you for the cooperation.

What stops them from releasing some OP weapon 5 years from now? Nothing. It will get released, and people will complain, then it shall get fixed. Get used to the fact that you won't be able to test out every weapon before it's released, because you wont.

It happens to other games involving DLC all the time.

First impression sir.
14th of May is release day.
The game isn't releasing multiple times and opening the flood gates to reviews does it?

...Milita Noobs vs Protobears, the individual balance of weapons will mean squat to them.

there is no logical reason to not test the build before release.

The least amount of things that can go wrong the better.
You are defending CCP for the sake of defending them, there is no logical reason to not test the build before release.

getting DLC and getting a brand new game just released is a little bit different. there is NO reason we shouldn't be testing these weapons out before release.

What makes you think it hasn't been tested?

I agree, but clearly CCP has to have some reason for this.

Cat Merc, why don't you ask Jenza or Iron Wolf, you are in their corp right?

Okay, here's the deal as I understand it:


(I could be wrong here, but this is what I have heard from fanfest)


Uprising is coming out on may 6th. This should include everything from the new terrain, weapons, PC, domination mode, etc.

On may 14th, there will be an 'event' to mark the launch, called the "Templar Event." CCP announced this in a rountable that wasn't on the stream, and I don't want to spoil it before they make an official devpost. But with this event, there will be a few new gorgeous suit and weapon variants being made available, as well as (I /think/) an event specific map setting.


Like I said. I could be wrong here, but this is how I understand it. Wait for the devpost on the templar event, because it's completely bad-ass.

dude yes planetary conquest comes out on may 6 along with other few things , may 14th we dont know what is coming so just chill we are testing pc on may 6 unless you are confused about the uprising build...

Weren't the Amarr Templar suits n weapons n uplink an exclusive for the Collectors Edition box set ?

Edited: or maybe that's the BPOs, they could give some BPCs I guess.

Are they confirmed to be "exclusive" in the collector's edition?

And is it confirmed that they're the only new suit variants that will be coming?

Sometimes you just have to live on the edge.
