Klar, aber es erinnert mich an die Zeiten in denen alle meine Freunde (ich natürlich nie) so Cracks verwendet haben. Fehlt nur ein fescher Techno Track im Keygenerator
sind halt Cracks am Werk :v:
reverse the verse:
QA folks this week have been doing lots of 2.0 testing. Making sure it's ready to go out. There are still severe issues, but they're working through and logging them, getting them fixed as quick as possible.
Basically this weeks' been a lot of prep for 2.0, some prep for the Anniversary livestream (November 19th)
[What does the QA team do?] It's definitely not playing the game every day. As new features and new builds come on, doing a lot of performance testing, functionality testing, etc... for anything that comes online.
[contact list doesn't display properly?] They're working on it? There are a lot of bugs. They'd have to go look at it and pull it up.
[Emery's new lighting doesn't look that great in the hangar?] There's a known issue right now where Cryengine has a default time of day setting for the levels, and it's showing the wrong one for the hangars right now. Once that's fixed, the hangars will look even better. Should be fixed super soon.
[Bug-fixing patch between now and 2.0?] That's really up to production. Right now they're basically focusing on 2.0, really going to try to focus on getting that out. If that comes out, any fixes would just be rolled into it.
Apparently the 0g ragdoll physics are epic.
[Land on a planet in 2.0?] If you try to land on a planet, first you get a message saying you're entering the gravitational field, and if you continue for a while, you'll eventually die.
The concept phase of the crucible is locked down, they're working on what they need to show people when it goes up for sale. Ben and Sandi come up with a list of things: concept image, show it working with a capital ship, show it picking up a smaller ship, blueprints, what to include on the design post for repair, etc...
The QA team have a mix of AMD and Nvidia GPU's, and AMD and Intel processors. Good variety of machines to test everything. Also a good selection of HOTAS and controls.
[Can friends visit each others hangars in 2.0?] No. That comes with persistence.
[Deadzone settings on joysticks?] It's on everyone's radar, hopefully fixed for 2.0, but it's on the list to get fixed asap.
[890 jump for sale again?] Probably.
[Update on Morrow tour?] They've made good progress. There were some issues that they wanted to fix. It still won't be full release, but we'll see it soon.
The Archimedes is close. Probably see that soon-ish.
They need to finalize the list of loaners for 2.0 after the show. If you don't have a Retaliator or a Constellation, but you have a larger ship, there will be a loaner.
[Auto tracking gimbals?] They've been discussing it. There are ideas being thrown around. It won't be free, there will be a direct cost for using them. Could happen, but won't have the same potency.
[More controller options in the future?] Yes. First they have to get what all the controls will be sorted, for scanning, mining, salvage, etc... Once they have that action map built out, they can start working on customization and parity between controllers.
[New mini-games in the works?] None at the moment. They usually pair those with sales that have new concepts, but they're pretty good for the rest of the year at least.
The Connie when 2.0 drops will be the Andromeda. It'll be the only version available for some time.
[Freelancer concept?] When it's approved, we'll see it. Can't get something shown before it's approved, cause if you show it before the direction is solid, you might be misleading people.
[ETA on next profession update?] Repair will come with the Crucible, so that'll likely be the next one.
As much as they want to get the design deep dives out, they have to make sure they're saying the right information first; to make sure that they're going to be able to implement the stuff in game. They can't only tell you want the want to do anymore, they have to tell us what they CAN do.
They're working on something for the Cutlass. John Crewe is putting together a Q&A.
[Able to mine in 2.0?] Not in the first drop. The features for 2.0 at launch are what you saw at Cit Con, with a few surprises, but it's the bed they can expand on, and we'll be able to test them in there eventually.
[Rear turret for Connie?] No update on that from last week. They've been hashing some things out, cause they're working on the Merlin and stuff as the connie gets ready. Highly unlikely. You might be able to swap out some other things with it, but probably won't be able to swap the Merlin dock for a turret.
[Can we buy / earn ships in 2.0?] No, not yet.
[Which studio will work on the Banu Merchantman?] Ben thinks Santa Monica, but he's not 100% sure. UK is the Vanduul and possibly the Xi'An.
[Will 2.0 have currency?] yes-no (coy looks between Ben and Lando)
[Prowler?] Nothing yet. They're waiting for some resources to clear up. Once the Reliant variants are done, Prowler will start.
[Currency for 2.0] - they're not ready to talk about it yet. They're leaning towards using REC for now, using it to prototype economy and missions and such, but they have to get 2.0 out and stable first.
There is no persistence in 2.0. If you lose your ship, you don't actually lose your ship. There's no reputation system either. This is not the kickoff of the PU, this is a great big playpen to break over and over again.
They haven't started working on the other Connie variants yet. They need to get the Andromeda right first, then they can move onto the others.
Getting the base connie built with systems in place and modules, that takes a long time. Going from there to the other connie variants is much faster once everything's locked down.
A lot of 2.0 is simplified from how it'll be finished. The repair mechanic to individually repair things isn't in yet, but they'll talk through that as they get closer. Quest system is very simplified quests, not indicative of what'll be in the PU.
[Referral program?] Going pretty well. Lots of people are getting into it. 1 millionth Citizen was a member of the Referral program. Some more tiers will be announced eventually.
You will not be able to create a private instance of 2.0, at least not in the first drop. But you should be able to see which instance your friends are in and join them.
Not going to tell when 2.0 comes. It'll be when it's ready. And it's not cause they know. They just don't know yet. It could be 10 minutes from now, could be 3 weeks from now. It's got to be in a position where it's a value for the community to test it. Can't rush.
Pretty much content complete, just doing bug fixing and internal testing before it goes to the PTU. Once they know it's going to happen, they'll let us know.
[Battlefield Upgrade Kits for the Connies?] No. Different ships, different processes.
[Dragonfly?] It's in the plans, but it's not a sure thing. It lost the vote, the Reliant won, so they'll look at it after they finish the ships they already promised.
also Zeitplan für AC 2.0: zwischen 10 Minuten und 3 Wochen :v:
