Hey Christine, Will we be able to swap around the positions of our Character Slots, Loadouts ? This has always been a pet-peeve of mine since the days of Ultima Online and World of Warcraft (It took WoW 3+ expansions to deal with this) .
Christine, When we will be able to see name (nameplate) on enemy player in battle? You are working on it, right? (Its mandatory for the immersion's sake). So just curious, is it still planned and if yes - any status on it? Thanks in advance!
Troma- Today at 5:17 PM @Christine, will we see the enemy name on nameplate, and the guilds? i think it's very important for the PvP emulation TESO lacked of this, and it was really bad nameplate allow to create rivalities, between people in 1v1 or between guilds Christine- Today at 5:27 PM @Troma we dont see the enemy name on the name plate.. but when you kill them you see it in the kill list. Troma- Today at 5:29 PM oh... we won't see it on release @Christine ? Christine- Today at 5:31 PM well the code is already there.. as far as I understand, since we see the names on the name plates for friendlies. Its just a matter of showing it for enemies... its more of a game design decision Troma- Today at 5:31 PM i think it's -very- important Christine- Today at 5:32 PM im asking brent Saros- Today at 5:32 PM Yeah, just give players the option to do it. MindEmPtY- Today at 5:32 PM i agree with troma here Redthirst- Today at 5:32 PM Yeah, it can be nice Michael Chan- Today at 5:33 PM I wish I could make certain people's lives hell by going after them every time I see them. Be rivals for life. Fresh from the EC Discord. Asked it because it's very important @Valaron yup !
Why is it so important? I would rather have it like it is and not being able to see my opponents name? Why should it be lore friendly? Do SM know all of their foes by name? especially Eldar and Orks? I think not. If they know the names of their enemies its because the enemy made himself known to the opponent or by intelligence. Both can be done if the game design decision allows it without showing all enemy names. If any name should be given than the one from the Warlord in charge of the battle. (I honestly also don't see the benefit in that other than taking advantage of knowing who you are up against at...in my opinion, if that is important for the game, it is too e-sport like for me rather contrary to immersion and lore) my 2 cents on that topic
Well, if you dont like it, you toggle it off. I personally would like to know, who I am engaging - its more thrill like that, more personal vendetas and adenaline. Its fun to change tactic according to the enemy which you see incoming. Its up for personal taste.
Hi there! First off I want to say the work and thought put into this game is truly remarkable and at this stage of it design, it is probably one of the best Alphas I have ever been apart of. The question I have is what are your thoughts about allowing the player to have the ability to set different control layouts for the different classes? With the current set up there is only one control configuration and it applies to the different classes, for me this can be a little tedious as I have to change up a decent number of keys if I want to switch from a melee oriented class to a ranged class or to a support class. If this could be implemented that would be fantastic and certainly make switching between classes convenient for some players. Cheers
Holy shit mate! Are they still not sure about this?? Just write them there could be option to turn it on/off. Lets at least have posibility to see only name of your target, like you can see on friendlies who arent on your squad.. Holy Emperor, I fight and bleed in your name, Holy Emperor, I do everything to spread your fame, Holy Emperor, protect the devs from blindness, Holy Emperor, dont fill my heart with sadness!
Well we clearly have opposite positions on that topic ^^ I would be ok with it, if when I toggle it off the enemy cannot see who I am, so that the optional information is bidirectional. I would be fine if they identify me by my armor (obviously only at a certain rank which allows customization combinations to be more or less unique) or I would be able to issue a challenge to make myself known. But certainly not during a normal engagement where the knowledge of my identity would position me into a probable disadvantage cause my tactics, flanking routes, hide outs might be known. I clearly only see the negative side of it but again if an option would allow for be anonymous I would not complain and be happy (and would try to convince my squad to be incognito at important engagements).
