Next RO Patch?

[Roman Elite]

Can we actually expect another RO patch? I heard that we were to have support until the end of this year, so mabye that means that there will be a final patch this winter perhaps?

I mean ffs they still haven't added the Maus and the IS-3.

Maybe.........since TW is working on their next project, our next update is likely to come a little late.

They can't give up on this game yet, there is still much to be done.

anyone knows what the next project will be?

Nobody has a clue, it could be RO on the UE3 engine or an entirely new game all together.

 

[Roman Elite]

Ah well, as long as the community is as good as it is we can make our own stuff.

I hope this part is a joke

Whilst the strength of the community will always help to overcome certain things, like missing maps, mods, skins, vehicles and such, there are certain things that development crew alone need to attend to. This is partly because they better than anyone else will understand the base code and partly because of legal reasons.
Unless a situation like "Savage" arises, where a player, clan or community purchases the rights to the game, then TWI and TWI authorised trustees will be the only people able to tend certain issues, like bugs and general patching.

For those who don't know "Savage" it was a hybrid RTS/3rd person hack'n'slash-come-shooter. One person was the "commander" who played the game as an RTS and built the base and researched weapons for the other players to use. One very influential player, Jeebus, ended up buying enough shares or something that he gained a casting vote in the majority decisions concerning the game, at least that's what i heard from way back when anyway.

I just hope that the next patch is more like a patch than just adding new stuff to RO.

P.S. pls "fix" the 3d sounds.

 

[Shadow_Man]

We asked for 3D Voice Command since 1941, I hope the last patch will include that. The number of players of RO:OST haven't increase so much since the last patch, I believe that the number of players will keep dropping since there will be more and more new FPS coming out in the near future, I hope STEAM will give people another free week when the Darkest Hour mode is done so that the game will live longer...

Yeah tanks and maps are now in my opinion totally up to the community. Their last map was met with a certain amount of critisism on these forums and I doubt they'll do another. Their latest tank was an adaptation, and there's so much already in the pipeline from the community so i doubt they'l add another clean sheet design- its hard work.
If we get a final update - and I doubt we're due much- i just hope they take the most telling issues that attract the most opinion and finally put them to bed. For example the pick up system and local chat would be a good bet.
Adding full 3d positional audio would be awesome but that might be pushing it.

 

[{8.SS}Bottcher]

I never seem to have that many problems with 3d sounds, aside from the odd bug where someone next to me sounds like their 500 yards away, but then again i've got a Medusa 5.1 headset so maybe that's part of it.

 

[Ermac]

The primary things I want to see in RO before they stop updating it is
- PTRS (Semi auto version of the PTRD)
- Nagant Revolver
- German PPK maybe?
- Mauser C96 maybe?
- Panzerschreck
- Hip shooting the MG42
- bullet penetration please

 

[murderous_eagle]

The Nagant revolver, c96, and bullet penetration were in the mod but not here. Just say NO to mg42 hipping.

 

[{8.SS}Bottcher]

If we're allowed to hip-shoot the MG42, i want to have full-auto SVT's, they did exist, and tactical scope for my MP44, wait, don't forget having russian trip mines too.

 

[PUTZ]

and by bullet penetration eagle means that bullets could pass through people and hit subsequence passer-bys.

 

[dogbadger]

yeah all these weapons would be nice but again like vehicles and maps I think it's up to the community to provide them.

I still say better the devs tie up any niggley loose ends of the gameplay, which should be consistant accross the board and be part of the final package - rather than add items that motivated people with a bit of effort could do themselves anyway.

 

[Major von Mauser]

Since there probably is going to only be one more update I have a feeling that it will be a last huraah, a big one.

All I hope for is the Nagant revolver.

 

[smokeythebear]

Tell me if I'm wrong, but do Ostfront bullets also do not penetrate hands/arms when hitting a single person?

eg. A shot heading towards someones chest can be "blocked" by thier hand. I notice this because I get a lot of shots dead on but instead of killing them it just pops out thier gun.

SAY YES TO MG42 HIPPING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN0dzAI_WsE

But in all seriousness it has been done before but not with the amount of accuracy the guy has in the MOH video.
