Please bare in mind that these are all things that is from the fanfest build and things where missing, potentially everything could be different when the game hits. also there are things i could have forgotten so feel free to ask
Active Scanners:
This interesting piece of equiptment now does exactly what its supposed to do. when you fire, a little thing happens on the minimap, (videos to come) then things that could be scanned appear and stay on the tac net for 5 seconds. When i was using my sneaky nova knife dampened scout fit. this thing was invaluable.
Assault rifles
These have been brought in to be more like blasters that they where meant to be, the sights on the tactical has been changed to an interesting green telescopic sight.
Cycled small missile turret
instead of being a fast ROF turret, this one now shoots several shots in quick succession
Dropships and Assault Dropships.
The flight ceiling has pritty much been removed. there seems to be a soft one, but i was up damn high before i ever notised it. The handling of dropships has also changed, it seems a lot more responsive which was disorientating when i first played with it, all the modules, like all the other vehicles, are shown on the bottom left hand corner. Aiming the assault dropship was interesting, we has a few dog fights, most of them not going that well! but i did manage to master hovering over tanks and installations and blasting them with missiles which was very satisfying. The Assault dropship has 2 gunner slots and 2 passenger slots. They also have a white paint job on both variants. Another thing i am very happy to announce is that the collision damage was noticeably reduced, that being said if you fly at top speed right into a wall you will explode.
Flaylock Pistol
This little monster needs a quick nerf as its a mini mass driver that does more damage than a massdriver. Think of the pistol as a mass driver with less drop and a limited range before the explosion. There is also a varient of the pistol that will lock on to anything including infantry, however this was unavailable for testing at fanfest.
Grenades
Grenades now have a sound that increases in pitch that indicates how long the timer has left.
Plasma Cannon
This weapon felt a bit difficult to use, it also has a slow shooting shot, will need more testing.
Scrambler Rifle
The rifles, currently come with 2 variations, the standard and the assault. The Standard one is sort of like a tactical assault rifle except it fires when you release the fire button and the longer you hold down, the more powerful the shot. The assautl is a rapid fire fire version varient. Unlike the laser rifle, it doesnt have a battery, instead, like the scrambler pistol, each shot is a shot even on the standard version with a charged shot. it really strips away shields like butter.
Spawn Screen
The spawn screen has plenty of interesting info and now has done away with choosing a suit every time you choose a spawn loaction, instead you select one as your defaut and then just choose where you wish to spawn. each spawn point also indicates how long it takes to spawn there.
Starmap
This is something im going to have to accurately explain in the video when i get home as it really is quite awesome.
Nova Knives
Not only are Nova Knives a viable weapon now, but they are also quite scary. Instead of getting rid of the charge time, the knives now lunge regardless how charged they are when you release the button allowing you to very quickly slice and dice if you want, or do one big mega attack. the width of the attack area has also been increased.
Wallet
The corporation and players now have a wallet that shows transactions and descriptions similarly to eve online.
there are loads more things but im tired and have a plane to catch soon. ill also be uploading vids when i finish e |

Quote:How do the LAVs handle? How are the new control schemes for them?
They seem quite similar but a lot more snappy. whats interesting is that you can now press O to flip over a tiped over vehices, as such, the LAV doesnt self right while driving.
Quote:How were the small missile turrets? Do they hit what you are aiming at or do the still fly off at crazy angles while on the move?
I only tested a few but they do seem better
Quote:What was your biggest surprise about the build?
The end of game stats, all that statistic **** was awesome :P
Did you get a look on the skill tree? If yes, what was your impression of the changes?
its certainly more befitting a console. however i personally like the list view, luckly you can choose between the two
Quote:I heard mentioned somewhere that the weapons you guys were using were prototypes. Was that true or was that meant in the sense that they have not been added to the game?
Well they are undoubably going to change many things soon.
Did they nerf the hell out of the weapons ranges like everyone has been saying?
I didnt test everything but quite a few things have less range.

Rather then have people ask you random things try getting some of the big stuff out of the way. i.e dropsuits ad weapon stats
all the current ones it seemed plus the standard, flaylock, scrambler rifle and plasma cannon, assault scrambler, breach flaylock and their advanced and proto varients |

I bet people are just dying to find out the racial benefits for each dropsuit. oh yes is the FPS a stable 30? or do you notice a drop in FPS. basically how much has the netcode and FPS been improved alongside graphics? full stats soon, it would take me ages to post everything here. |

Is this true? yes going to add on more, can you call in vehicles you hacked or is it exclusivly what you called in? it would be nice since hacked vehicles could be called in and added to your assets but what if a blueberry steals your tank or DS? then that would suck but I`m sure CCP put time into it, especily with all the dumb blueberry threads when it comes to vehicles. Also Saber says you have vids, can`t wait to see, any vids that shows a chunk of DS gameplay? to me more Uprising info on the DS the better but thats becuse i`m a dedicated pilot =] you can only recall vehicles you have called in, at least that was what it was like in the build we played on.
and videos soon, i did recorded a little dropshipping i think. |

No look at the skill tree and new skills at all Quit your complaining, she's given us a whole lot of information. She's contributed far more than you have, where's your exclusive video of the Uprising build, and your thread answering direct questions about the next build, all the while putting up with comments from ingrates like you? Did i go to fanfest? no I wasnt picked for the CPM because i wasnt on IRC, so i never got my golden ticket But if i was to go i would have made sure to try and get as much info as i damn well could im doing the best i can. |

Talk about a kick in the balls We lose a slightly better overal tank for a new glass cannon This glass cannon better be good Then again maybe CCP are going to upgrade the Surya/Sagaris maybe into a proto tank (im wishing at this point) My HAV better be stronger that it is now against AV well i think the gallente one had a bonus to hybrids so with a railgun it will basically be a sniper tank |
