Permanent Unlocks are here to stay then?

[Evil Turnip]

then explain why those who pre-ordered the DDE will get day one unlocks of the mkb42, avt40 and both semi-auto sniper rifles?

Yea, there really needs to be a guide to this game laid out on the front page because it is all very confusing. I understand that some of it had only just been finalized recently because of the tweaking with the beta.

It is also confusing playing some of the game modes as there is no indication (unless I missed it) as to how many team points have accumulated until the end of the round.

So as I understand it then, the DDE owners will have access to those respective weapons, but only when they've been selected for a field promotion? I'd imagine they would also have access to them should they happen to select the marksman class?

I really hope it is like this as having a majority of players given access to scoped weapons would seem to ruined a lot of the game play (camp/snipe-fests)

 

[Altus]

can you get a scope for MG34?

 

[Cpt-Praxius]

Man it's like watching X-Files with all the half truths and cloak & dagger theroies around here.

No unlocks were available for most of the beta, and then people could start leveling up for the last few days, plus they gave everybody bayos. Those who could level up on a working ranked server, could start unlocking all other weapons like what all the regular version buyers have to do.

And from my understanding of things, after the game is released, those who bought the DDE, don't have to grind for the bayos, the mkb42, or the scoped semi-autos.... they're available to all DDE buyers.

At least that how I read things & understood it.... because if I was supposed to only get them in the beta, I'll be a little PO'd, because the only thing that I ever got was the bayo'rifles and my ranks always reset on me each map load.

And if you only get them unlocked in SP and maybe FireFight.... I'd sure like to see where that fine print was hiding when I bought the game through Steam .

I am fairly sure what Praxius said is correct. Now you won't have to grind for the bayonet, or semiautomatic sniper rifles in the multiplayer. Similiar to how it was in RO1 I guess. And I am fairly sure you can only use the AVT40 and Mkb42 in Firefight, where there are no limits. In territory game-mode I think there will be only one player on each team (the hero) to have those elite assault weapons. It will NOT mean that every assault trooper will be running around with those guns.

Tripwire is better than that!

Wrong, there's tiers of hero units per team.

16 Players - 2 Heroes (possible to go to 8)
32 Players - 4 Heroes (possible to go to 16)
64 Players - 6 Heroes (possible to go to 32)

What's the unlock for the Russian heavy MG?

It had better be good or someone's getting tk'd.

No, I am saying you will probably be able to use them ( avt-40 / mkb42 ) in FF and maybe single player without needing to be a veteran ( otherwise there is no point having them early ). The semi auto snipers I would imagine you will be able to use in any game mode as long as you are a sniper, unless you need to attain veteran status to use them in territory and countdown.

Yes, it would be nice to get some clarification.

 

[NinetyNine]

Other MG, not the Maxim. The Degtyaryov.

 

[Srinidhalaya]

Just because it's unlocked doesn't mean you have access to that class (in TE/CD/MP Campaign). If the only class left is Rifleman, don't expect to get an assult rifle just because you have it unlocked. Pretty simple, and self explainitory, for those who actually thought about it.

This is what I was trying to get across earlier, with little success

 

[Homuth]

Can you think of anything that a DP28 can unlock 99?

Perhaps a grenade launcher adapted to fit a katyusha rocket? A 12-pan-mag-tower with a periscope to look over?

 

[Das Bose]

None so far.

 

[FBOTheLiuetenant]

I think people missed something in the beta, that the MKb and AVT were located under the Veteran unlocks, not the Hero unlocks. Could be misunderstanding this, but they were not listed as Hero unlocks in the beta.

 

[Zoring]

Yup Hero unlocks were 'enemy loadouts...' :/ hopefully it's a mistake and the actual other way around.

 

[>< f4ct0r...13]

Imagine if TWI had gotten creative with the game instead of offering "unlocks".

All this talk would be moot, and we'd be talking about the possibilities of a unique new playing paradigm.

I'm scared, but will wait until the game is out for a few weeks to make the call: whether or not I will continue to play.

Five years of RO loyalty hang in the balance.

There has to be something wrong with it as it says as marksman you can unlock the mg 34 xD

 

[horror]

i think it should be to chose what weapon and attachment you want when you chose a role.
if unlocks feels like a disadvantage it makes no sense, and i would als prefer fighting without bayo instead.

just give me the option to chose my rifle pure or modified, thats not a big problem.

Implementing gimmicks was a better use of their time rather than keeping it true to the original.

But hey, I'm glad there's such awesome gimmicks as "XP" and "ranking up" to keep us occupied, as apparently we all have the attention span of the typical cod gamer.

I don't blame them for trying to make money. Developers of niche games are either very small teams with no production value or they die off quickly. Sad truth.
