Farbon Ciber 65 Posted July 18, 2019 This may not be possible, but what if the focus was to get the map closest to completion done then release the Engine upgrade with the single map, which would allow us to start enjoying sooner, then LO would focus on the other maps, perhaps focusing on the maps with contacts first i realize you need both Financial and Waterfront to rank up, but perhaps that can be worked around somehow 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueB 35 Posted July 18, 2019 Crossmap pledge... coff coff... How long ive had this idea? Is not just now, its something necessary for the reasons i gave with my "first" acc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsb 6171 Posted July 18, 2019 yeah we just need to bribe one of the little orbit employees to push the "upgrade engine" button in mattscott's office in all seriousness i don't think the engine upgrade progress has much to do with either map, it seems to be more about the underlying systems - releasing earlier might mean that missions won't activate or that the UI doesnt work or any one of a million other things 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldtiger 133 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I don't really think rushing out the engine upgrade is a good idea.. If you're going to release something important you might as well get release it when it is 100% complete. You don't want people to come in, have a bad first impression, and then leave for an indefinite amount of time. I hate that they're taking this long to get this out (especially knowing that G1 allegedly made a lot of progress on the engine upgrade pre-LO) but I also don't want it to be rushed out. All we can really do right now is hope that the engine upgrade isn't given the Soon™ treatment and that it is completed before the game dies due to lack of content/improvement..

As for a new map with new contacts and rewards... do you have any idea how long that would of taken? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleOrbit spent more time with coding for Riot than actually altering the map. It's easy to say what people want and what people don't like, But when asked what people like, they tend to become unsure and disagree with others. I don't think making a new map is going to be any more quicker than the Unreal Engine upgrade to 3.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The EU is being done to fix and update the back end systems that the game runs on. The maps really don't have anything to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitne 724 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) You do realize engine is something other than just map? Before making such threads in future I propose undergoing basic course on how game development works. You got a lot of such videos online. TL:DR - Engine is heart of game, without it other "organs" of game can't work. It's totally impossible to "update engine" on one aspect of game. Engine affects whole game. Edited July 19, 2019 by Mitne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 22, 2019 Good ideas here BUT they make too much sense so.... Were not gonna do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UubeNubeh DaWog 136 Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Dont do this. Content is apart of the game. Even if it changed the whole game, its a bad idea to release unfinished products. Some companies have been trying to normalize this idea for ages, it shouldn't happen. Its bad. Edited July 22, 2019 by UubeNubeh DaWog 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
