Waste of time IMO. The last one was cool, but obviously took a long time to put together and pull off. Methinks we have bigger fish to fry.
More quests?
Bravo. Rare does more with less than anybody living outside of a third-world country. Those people pull off miracles everyday.
Improved new player experience? I don't know how many of these we're actually getting these days, but anything that cuts down on the learning curve is great, because it's kinda steep right now.
Fanfaire shirt? Are we just going to get level-scaling, crap-buffed shirts for everything now?
MKT rebalance? I'm skeptical, as this sounds like a code-word for nerf. I know Fu does excellent work, but I would ask does this rebalance focus only on MKT, or fixing the Spy tree? The tree as a whole is rather dysfunctional as it received next to no testing time on the External Playtest Server. Those who were there will remember that there was no spy tree until maybe 2 or 3 weeks (read: 2 or 3 updates) before CR2 went live. As a consequence, the tree is sort of uneven, and MKT may perhaps be the easiest tree to use in the game. If changes are to be made, I ask that the tree be evaluated as a whole, not only the MKT branch, because the strength of MKT is the only thing right now that makes the deficiencies of the other two branches acceptable.
Coding revamp? Brilliant and long overdue. I'd say that with the latest content infusion from the uber-hotfix, we'll be okay on that front for a while. If we focus on crushing a few long-standing known issues first, (non-dynamic buffs/clothing stacking and NPC sploits among others) I'd say this thing takes Dev priority number one, no matter how long it takes.
New Archive rewards? I'm tempted to be really cheeky and quote myself from above here, but I won't. All I'll say is that it'd be nice to see some archive rewards with usable buffs. Not earth-shattering, but useful to a level 50. Also Zion deserves something REALLY cool here. That Red Eye Beret is agreed on by all to totally blow. I mean seriously, do you EVER see anyone wear that thing?
New concert?
- There are plans in the works to hold another Ingame Concert. Using the same venue as before. The band this time round is thought to be "American Rejects". this would mean a big download etc when the time comes. The video would play for 30mins and loop.
- Rarebit has ideas in place to make up more quests, like the Patcher quest, but for other ability trees like MA.
- Plans to make the new player tutorial stretch further around the areas, and also show more details about things like RSI Pills. the idea is to take it from Uraih SW and move it to Mars industrial and then onto tabor West. It would also include new clothes and NPC's in the dungeons of Mars etc.
- Update 54 will include the Fanfaire shirt for those who pre-registered.
- 9mmFU apparently wants to try and redo the MKT nd rebalance it - Dont quote me on that one though
- This next one will be awesome if it could be implemented. Though they said it would take A HUGE amount of time as it would be a huge task. Thats EVEN if it is feasible to do. Dracomet has the idea to try and make it possible for players to recolour their clothes and also add buffs and remove them. So listen out for information in the future.
- Chapter 9ish will bring in 3 new archive clothing rewards.
