Ishki88 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I BEGGED for this request a long time ago. And DE actually told me to chill...soon Ishki...soon. Did they finally commit to my (ours) request? I think I was the ONLY one who asked honestly My topic is so old I couldn't resurrect it. But maybe one of the Members from DE remembers because he replied to my topic. Edit: It doesn't look exactly the same but looks like it favors the original proto-type...I still LOVE the prototype..but if it looks similar I'm down Edited March 17, 2015 by Ishki88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So, normally the teaser sites give us lists of new features, and occasionally have a weapon included to space it out. However, the current one has THREE weapons(based on the outline of tomorrow's reveal), and one "this was designed to punish people for not using rhino" enemy. Was kind of expecting lots of new features, particularly since this has been a legendarily long wait. Instead, by the teaser site, this is looking more like update 15.17 than update 16. Do you think they're holding out on us for some reason, or that the marketing department just wasn't confident about what would make the release, or are we really getting something as spartan as the teaser site suggests?

WERElektro Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 TotalBiscuit. Actually not sure if he calls himself the Cynical Brit anymore, might be an older name. Ah okay. I'm not much of a youtube person. I mainly use it to listen to songs ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Rumour has it that U16 actually has more content than just 3 weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDoge Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Manic was made to punish people who are stationary. And i like how there is lack of hype created by DE in this update. Everything feels relaxed and easy going, no manchildren screaming and wetting their pants because of few shiny pixels. What is happening is that DE wont show us too much, so we can discover new additions once update goes live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it will be a cheap KO no matter the frame you are using. They love energy neutralizing units now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Lube Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It might be that they are just putting as much in the teaser site as possible to extend it's duration. Which might mean a longer wait for U16. Just a thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they're holding out on us for some reason, or that the marketing department just wasn't confident about what would make the release, or are we really getting something as spartan as the teaser site suggests? They weren't able to make a deadline, most likely, with other features, so they decided not to include them in U16. I don't think they're holding out with information. I think the update is more spartan than the community initially believed. I mean, many expected to see Sentients in this update, as well as the new tileset. Neither of those are coming with this update. I don't think this update is as big as it was initially going to be, and we'll probably end up waiting until U17 to see the other hyped stuff. All I can say is that I am so glad that I didn't get hyped for this update (as I really wasn't looking forward to much in it, anyway).

Nitresco Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Maybe the teaser site has more than weapons in store. We'll see. There's still a few days if the update doesn't come tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydian Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just a note, from what I've dug up... the "third weapon" is not a new entry in the weapon list, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unless they radically altered the design, all it does is KD you and then use attacks on you while you're down. Ergo, having iron skin up(thus being unable to be knocked down) negates what threat it poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faustias Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You just said what I was afraid to say. I kinda expected more - ofc, I should not expect anything as a non paying player... but.. Well... who knows... with that lack of hype, maybe they manage to surprise me. with half of players disappointed on Chroma, Vay Hek is the raid boss if he is, add the so-much-for-upgrade Panthera (regarding on the chainsaws), U16 hype died a bit. but that's just me.

No, not just you. The only thing I am - not really looking forward to, but curious about - is the Pvp2.0. I generally would welcome pvp... but without dedicated servers this whole pvp 2.0 thing might as well be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circle_of_Psi Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I still can't see any real excitement for a reskin, its just the old weapon from before, its nothing new, Well guess will have to wait for the next Reveal to maybe Chorma, New Glavie, PvP, Riot Moa or the other weapons that are missing Edited March 17, 2015 by LegionCynex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicTroublermaker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You missed the fact that were getting 2 new factions, Raids, and revamped PVP. Thats significantly big stuff to shove into a minor update opposed to a major update that gives A BUNCH of goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ognj Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think people realized how hyping can impact negatively, just look at chroma's reveal.I just always say, keep the low expectation and you might get surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
