Why didnt you show up in stream? :(
I'm based in the Austin, TX studio. Long trip!
I like what I saw (minus the bitching in twitch chat about various things that aren't the case). It seems there was a misconception about the double team alert style thing. As I understood it the double team would happen to the more powerful faction, no? They stated in the stream they didn't like the weaker faction getting ganged up on, so I don't know how this couldn't be that case.
Correct. The strongest team who kicked off the alert will defend itself from the other two. Definitely something we'll be watching to see how it plays on test and in the wild.
/u/Mepps_ will the PC performance fix be included in the Critical Mass update? It was asked about many times in Twitch chat during the stream, but only performance and Construction on PS4 were addressed.
Performance is constantly being worked on. It's not the core focus of this update, but it's always a focus.
I am a bit concerned that this will make construction much less important.
Yes granted, construction is necessary to lock the continent, but once those 2 VPs are generated and you hit the cap construction is effectively pointless.
You're not generating anymore VPs so there is nothing to encourage the enemy to attack you, I think what will end up happening is one or 2 hives will generate the construction VPs needed with little or no contest and then they get ignored.
Before if I wanted to build a base I could and it would add to my factions effort, now if I'm not the first to do it, my effort means nothing
Any comment on this? /u/wrel
More strategic and, as noted, necessary, but it shouldn't automagically win the continent and interrupt battles with that surprise lock.
getting his red mohawk ready?
It must be done.
