One of my mates just got minecraft and I might show him around the server tomorrow if you guys don't mind. |
Man you guys have been building tons of shit on there. I need to get back on the server. I've been doing my own thing with voxelsniper and world edit lately. |
Noun said on the main CoH forums that there *should* be news about the migration today. Don't know what that news is, of course. |
CoH2 beta was originally planned for the end of January, but obviously THQ went under and Relic is now owned by Sega. They have to sort out the logistics and get the go ahead from sega before the beta can be released. It's only been a week after all. |
I think the bulletins are fine given certain conditions:
1: There are no "tiers." There is no bulletin that is inherently better than another one (say infantry have an extra 10% health as opposed to 5% health)
2: If they are included in automatch games, no player should be matched against a player with more bulletins than themselves. This could obviously be fixed by giving the player a number of bulletins to start with on a new account
3. There is an option to allow players to select any existing bulletin in custom games so that tournament players have access to everything. |
I suppose we can't discuss specifics here since Alpha is under NDA. It's very difficult to judge if there should be mirror matches based on an Alpha build of the game. Obviously, there are other points that are not dependent upon how the game is built, but there are some game-specific features that do lend themselves one way or the other. I'd suggest broad discussion of mirror matches wait until we are no longer under NDA, or remain confined to the testing forums. |
