That's good stuff. Before, the 500MC just sort of magically appeared, but with a scheme such as this, it's highlighted and shown how to use it. I like it.
In terms of how much effort it should be to implement, it shouldn't be too bad, given the mechanics involved are already existing with previous phases of the tutorial. I can guarantee you this has gone into the backlog ;)
I agree. Jeff is awesome.
To the rest of the conversation (let's not do physics again either cause I'll make videos...) I know that there are things that have to happen behind the scenes. My recommendation is to save it all for a patch and release patch notes, or to release a little news post on the front page of the client as changes are made.
I know this change shouldn't effect us at all, but you have to remember, a lot of us stuck it out through the dark times. A lot of us have supported this game with our wallets even when there was no hope. We want to feel supported too. That our investment remains intact and informed. We love HAWKEN, I have a storied history with ReLoaded. I want both of these things to succeed, but I want to be in the know and for the most part that has been the case.
With that in mind, @Iaredave, this is all of our game. Without us and without ReLoaded, this game fails. They make the rules, but we give the game value. Period. HAWKEN isn't a one-off release. It is purpose built to continually be in development. In order to continue to develop, it needs us as much as it needs ReLoaded. This isn't arguable. This is a fact. HAWKEN won't make it because APB or Fallen Earth is successful. It will make it because HAWKEN is successful and I promise you, it will become ReLoaded-s premier product. We just have to get from here to there with careful, mindful, and informed decisions.
