b200 - anything special planned?

weezl

<div class="IPBDescription">it's like it was waiting for the year 2000</div>A big, nice, round number is coming up, will there be anything grand?
Like DI or exo? *hoping!!!*
Would be anticlimactic if it had to be a hotfix 199 :P

PsiWarp

We'll be getting more Hive 2-3 abilities soon (like Fade Shadow-Step?). To be fair, B194 was Gorilla, not a nice round number but still awesome :D

zastels

I'd be cool if we could get some keys to invite friends to the beta. I think the game is very fun to play right now, I would like to invite a few people. I still think it should be closed beta however.

Racer1

An official siege map...
<ducks>

Solitario

it's heavy armor aka exoskeleton .. calling it here right now! I got a good feeling about this

Wavesonics

Man, exo would be killer. I think that's what is missing to make Arcs useful. You really need to be able to stand around and soak of damaged to protect those little buggers...

On the same topic, Arcs need range and damage buffs I think. I've seen 4 of them firing into a base and not accomplishing much :/

That's because their targeting is glitched at the moment; ARCs target eggs as buildings, so they tend to have trouble hitting anything vital when you point them at a hive.

The fade shadow step might be the double tap dash/quick blink which was discussed in the previous twitter thread that was accidentally deleted. If there was one ability I'd love to see a return of, it'd be acid rockets.

Yotopia

I wish big performance improvements for b200 !

For exo i read somewhere that they will release it very close before version 1.0

Electr0

Maps and mods via server downloads is my big wish, its about time we got to try something a bit different.

Soylent_green

I'd settle for a sound system/sound occlusion system that isn't terribly broken.

Sampson

highly doubt exo. don't get ur hopes or other peoples' hopes up.

that's awfully pessimistic, Sampson.
-maybe it's teh BUS :P

no, but seriously, it can very possibly be reworked alien commander...!

sebu

I wish they WOULD take a look of my freezing problem for b200. Performance aint issue but right now game is unplayable whit those freezings :(

That I'd like to see, but it's good that he's getting some goodies next patch.

Xostean

i wish it was exo suits

weezl

is there anything from UWE at GDC?

Quovatis

200 is just a number with no special meaning

Daphisto

Any chance of a 200 release today?

peregrinus

197 was kinda the special patch, it's a bit much to expect another one so soon :P

Argathor

I hope it comes out soon and recovers the damage of b199, so we can start playing gathers and matches again.

PsiWarp

Darn you GDC, darn you and the nerdgasms you garner!

But yeah, more time on 200 = more bugs squashed (usually). Can't wait for new Alien Vision :)

crypt

According to the progess-log we might see the new goo-wall!

Skie

Probably gonna be a HUGH release, if you know what I mean.

With that sexy voice, gladly.

weezl

thought of something i REALLY want: bulletholes (decals), preferably both on environment AND characters! (swipe/bite -marks on the marines)
something i want even MORE: Overgrowth style bleeding!!! THAT would be INSANELY cool!
