Concerns with The AWSOME Black Armor

<div class="IPBDescription">^ Read above</div>just one concern here with the awsome black armor

its for those who payed more to show who has the speical edition and those who supported more

i was jsut thinking, will people who didnt get the speical edition, be able to download skins(black armor) on their own servers, cause if they could it would ruin it just a bit

bit unfair for those who were able to preorder 1st for the love support of the game

should there be some kind of counter messure to stop people from doin that

i believe those who got the speical edition are the only ones who should be able 2 wear black armor (seeing how its LIMITED)


(btw do the aliens get black armor too?)

    In the final game you will be able to tell which servers are "vanilla" and which are modified (though we won't have this in the alpha).

    Deep down it doesn't matter if they have a mod to change armour colours.
    At least you will know you donated to support awesome devs.

    You guys should make it so servers cannot block the black armor or give it server side.

    I do like the unable to block black armor guys, but I don't know about the giving it out server side... that could have the effect of no custom armor period and that wouldn't be cool!

    I am a man of my word, so I will not mention it here, instead I'll leave you to the obvious conclusion.

    And while we've got Max on the line, segue into the important question: <!--coloro:orange--><span style="color:orange"><!--/coloro-->will black armor be toggle-able serverside to enforce model consistency without penalty to the server (i.e. showing up as non-vanilla or modded)?<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    From my understanding they mentioned that black armor is something you can receive from an armory... wouldn't this essentially be the same as a jetpack or heavy armor in such a case consistency wouldn't matter as its a unique model - like going from a skulk to a fade.

    No, it's a cosmetic upgrade and not intended to be "like going from a skulk to a fade". Selecting it at the armoury is no different than selecting a hat at the character screen in TF2, and even TF2 has well-recognized the need for "serious" servers to disable this option without being penalized.

    The black armor for marines applies. What about black armor for aliens?
    Instead of the white, replace with black model. That would be nice and you get the "black armor" for both races and not just marines.

    If you wanted to show off your "black armor" you would have to go marine... going as alien doesn't give you that extra feel of being "cool" :P

    Agree, do we get anything special when we are aliens - I play aliens far more then I do rines.

    Aliens should get glowing eyes with the cool effect the demoman gets when he reaches 3 heads with the eyelander.

    Its subtle, small, but badass.

    (i hope people know what im talking about)

    Different eye color sounds like a good idea

    Maybe they should have just done the constellation icon on the scoreboard as they did with NS1 instead of having black armor.... I really don't understand why everyone is hung up on the armor.

    This is good news. I look forward to joining modded servers and running any client side mods like i do right now with NS1.

    I mostly just care about custom props for all assets in the game, like NS arms lab back in the day. but i wouldn't mind playing some NS:Kart racing, or the NS:Wiremod physics sandbox mod that's practically guaranteed to show up (like it did for gmod, and apparently like it will in unreal tournament 4 or something).

    How about no? They said it's for those ordering SE before Alpha release and that's what it should be. Everyone had an equal chance, SE has been available for a long, long time. Typical WoW mentality, if everyone cannot have/do it, then make changes so we're all uniform. :)

    NS1 does not need mods, it's not like CS with "spiderman" mods and "space jetpacks candy gun" mods.

    Ya that'll stop the mod makers. And way to tell the devs that all the work they put into making the game extremely easy to mod was for nothing (including custom tool creation for scripting, mapping, etc). Btw it's not NS "the game", it's NS the lua-MOD on whatever they named the engine, so ya expect change.
