GU06 Info and Feature Preview

It's already been confirmed that they are tweaking shotguns in GU06

Good god... Please pay attention. These aren't the patch notes. Those will come just before the update drops.

Another request already covered on the Roadmap: May - Loadout Screen Revamp. The third bullet point:

Also, premium members are getting 3 extra character slots, not 3 extra loadout slots.

Seems like cert inflation. I assume there are plans to increase the cert cost on items. What do the devs think?

I earn 12 cert points in 3 minutes on double EXP weekend

So 3000 exp for something I can do in six minutes of gametime

GEE WHAT AN INCENTIVE

*looks for his "WOW! ITS FXXXING NOTHING!" picture

Okay, so what about the optimization and performance improvements?

These are patch highlights... there'll likely be some bug fixes and other minor improvements...

It's smart business.

By increasing XP gain, you make it easier for newer players to catch up. But since XYZ still costs 1000 certs to purchase, you don't tick off anyone who bought it for 1000 certs and now you lowered the price to 500 certs. So you don't owe anyone refunds.

You get bonus XP for the objective as well.

The bonus is to encourage last minute hard pushes and blitzkrieg effects (which would also end the event and hopefully trigger another)

i know, I want to know how

Only problem i forsee (other than tweaks) is if this is an April Fool's day joke.

so basically world events and achievements?
nothing wrong with this as long as you guys are working on fixing the metagame, (and optimisation, i havnt been able to play ps2 for some time now D: )

Sounds great! Only one question:

If you are a member, use the extra character slots, and then your membership expires... what happens to those extra characters?

No idea, but if they follow LOTRO's example, the three slots will be locked and you'll get to pick which ones those will be.

Whats about Alert System Times ??
I guess that your "Alert System" is based on PST, so when you want to get the XP Goal in Europe, pls feel free to play at 1 am - 5 am under the week ??

then i got a question... will the map reset upon the start of an Alert? since its easier to defend when you already own 80% of a continent unless they start zerging in

This is the first big patch I am not looking forward to. It's not bad, really, but none of it gets me excited. I'd rather see any of the other april stuff on the road map, eg:
Battle flow improvements, Class revamp: MAX, Improvements to strategic communication, MAX flamethrowers

Tons of Bug Fixes please

we want TONS OF BUG FIXES!

FINALLY MORE CHARACTERS!!! Thank you Mister Higby, thats really something I wanted

Now recertification Item with GU07??

I would suggest the goal to be "CAPTURE A CONTINENT"
Rewards = 20 % xp bonus to players on the continent that your faction own most of during the alert .
= Total xp of all major bases on the continent added together and awarded to the players that contribute to the capture or ................defence of at least 2 of the major bases and awarded on completion of the alert .

THE GOALS :-
To get the faction to work as a team .(will tr,nc and vs use intelligence and chose different continents or will all three fight for INDAR lol.)
To reward players that participate and not those that jump to the continent just before the alert is complete .
Have the Ultimate reward be worth the effort .(3000xp lol)
Making the goal achievable . ( To take one continent would be impossible since it would mean all players would be on there fighting for the bonus while the intelligent players would be capping the other 2 continents easily and being rewarded with vastly more resources and xp ,so even though the bonus would be 3000xp for indar the average IQ players would get at least 10 times that in normal xp and resources for ghost capping esamir and amerish .)

I forsee a big rise of ************* griefing from players that will squabble over those daily achievements. Not to mention people useing alts to sabotage continent capture efforts from within.

(Could you please check for medal bugs again while you are at it? My SKEP doesn't show the purple one as the 'next medal' for two updates straight).

Also, please more non-Indar alerts during prime time. There are some very good places on Indar to fight in, yes, but we need more consistent - and even - populations on the other two more often than once in a blue moon.
