[RO.Player]

nice article

it kind of eases my fears about the gamey-ness of the recon plane, and explains the hero system a bit.
but the article makes it sound like you will need x amount of exp to become a hero, and that heroes give morale boosts. I'm worried that 5 years down the line each team will be full of "heroes" so these rare weapons will be overused and the morale boost is useless as everyone gets it
IMO there sould be a dynamic ranking system where the top 1% of players are heroes at any given time, and recent scores are weighted more than scores from a year ago, with all scores from over a year ago ignored

 

[The Masta]

You have to reach certain ranks to get access to all classes, which means the sniper is no longer the guy with the fastest computer.

 

[Alexander Ostmann]

Yeah, I'm a little less worried about reconnaissance planes as well. The medals and ranks sound nice as well.

Nice find!

 

[Stormer]

it may sound nice to you but in practice it will be abused to hell, you will see people just running around, raking up kills, dying and not caring for anything else just for the sake of getting a rank, medal or some other useless ****

this is one of the major things that will kill the ro gameplay in hos

 

[doomis]

Don't forget that following sl/commander orders will give points too, so it might not be that bad

I'm pretty sure you'll get more points for doing the objectives than for frags.

Oh really?

 

[FlyXwire]

Not if it's based on K/D ratio. :IS2:

I thought it was stated that doing objectives gets you exp, rather than killing. Or at least significantly more. At least in RO:Ost you got more points from capturing objectives rather than just killing people.

"The tank in the background is not just decoration but can be controlled by you, too"

Hmm, are they just guessing or did they actually ask TWI, or is that just one ****ed up google translation ?

Considering the "enemy tank spotted" on the objectives map that is probably true.

But I love being that guy!

Correct translation.

 

[The Masta]

But I want to play the marksman too from time to time.

 

[Extension7]

Entire Germans is babies.

I'm always that sniper guy too

 

[-[SiN]-bswearer]

"The tank in the background is not just decoration but can be controlled by you, too"

Correct translation.

so either the writers are just trolling us, or TW told em that tanks are in.

of course, we'll end up waiting at least another half a year to see or hear any official statements
