well, had a spawn point spawn me deep under the world, just floating... not being able to move or anything, lots of other people were there, then someone tossed a grenade to kill everyone present, so they could respawn elsewhere.

I am extremely glad to hear about resources being implemented in march. Extremely. On the other hand, teleportation will not help matters on that front.  Rather hard to have fuck all in the way of tactics with teleportation implemented, to be honest, outside of relying almost completely on feints  and subterfuge. I suggest they give us the ability to create new ones.

Guess they decided to do what I heard happened with PS1: Improve it gradually. Mayby they didn't use what they learned from PS1 to adapt to a different audience? After all, subscription-based and F2P is quite a difference.

Well, it's official, Duuvian has gone off the deep end. Some strange form of PTS disorder? E-PTS?

It's glorious, too.

I fell through the world once climbing up the wall to TI Alloys from the Crown.  There's a nice hard splatty surface eventually!

I had that happen by standing under the barrel of a lightning.

Is it just me, or has it suddenly become instant death to stand on top of a vehicle? I accidentally brush the turret of a Lightning while skimming over it with C4-bam, instantly dead. I drop two meters onto my own deployed Sundie, feathering my jets as I land-bam, instantly dead. What.

I jumped down onto a Lightning last night to repair it and it ate me.

Really? Outside of the one paid expansion they released and a few times they did bugfixes and absolutely crucial balancing issues, they never really seemed to improve PS1 at all. It's like after they realized they weren't going to get any new subscribers they just let it stagnate and did the bare minimum to keep it running and pull in those sweet subscription dollars.

I am extremely glad to hear about resources being implemented in march. Extremely. On the other hand, teleportation will not help matters on that front.  Rather hard to have fuck all in the way of tactics with teleportation implemented, to be honest, outside of relying almost completely on feints  and subterfuge. I suggest they give us the ability to create new ones.

I don't feel like teleportation, implemented properly, hurts tactics. In the original you had a teleportation rig you could set up but it was a pain in the ass to do and fragile as hell if the enemy found it. I believe it also had a range limit on it. You rarely saw one more than a 2 minute walk outside of a base.

It's certainly no more hurtful to the game than deployable AMS's already are.

well, the crown is quite hard to take... I wonder how some tunnels in the mountain it is located on will help with that fact? or even a teleporter.

and, what resources are you talking about novel?
