Imperial Victus/Imperial Delta difference ?

I'd make a mod to replace such a thing with a clean white box.
Original work, please.

There is no such thing as a original work. Besides that I meant it as a joke.

yeah everything is in someway inspired -_- ....

Oh "original" this "original" that. BAH!

what's truely original today?

how is this : original ? how is that: ?

they're not.

inspirations are all tied together. they've all got something to do with one another.

now the only things that stands out, is how you can exploit the best angles and curves to come up with a cocktail that'll redefine badassness and kickassery!

Also, I will have to commend you brad for at least keeping the dialogue with people open about this issue.

You really are the best guy for the job.

And my post is an extension of that joke, if you couldn't tell.

Au contraire, a clean white box is completely uninspired!
That's one of the nuances about inspiration. It is more than simply copying old ideas. It has to be original, in some way.

I could not tell that it was a joke.

Exit: whoops

but why white box? why not blue or grey with a star on it why even a box? how bout a dodecahedron ... clearly you had an inspiration of white and boxes in your subconcious mind

... yeah i better stop derailing the thread like this ...

Where is that video of the flaps opening and closing? I will have to go find it once I have broadband access again in a few days.

Yay! Now we don't have to squint really hard to tell the the difference in commanders.
The community not only demands quality in the models, but also quality in the amount of uniqueness of exclusive commanders (and commanders and units in general).




Yet...

Please, please, oh god please never make us squint to be able to tell the difference in commanders. --> Each aspect of a commander should be unique: body, legs, feet, arms, the armor on the arms, the head, the chest, the elbows, the left front tow, the right front middle tow, everything, even the groin should be unique.

No commander that is to be 100% unique should have any rehashed or reused parts from other commanders.

I don't understand why they have to be 100% unique anyway.

not possible since many commanders use the same weapon and the same fabricator arm ... so that´s like
roughly 20% out of the way already ...

In Monday Night Combat, they released Cardboard Tube Samurai skin for Assassin Character...

...As a PAX attendee, you could get personally from them a code for a "battle damaged cardboard tube samurai" skin. Same skin, with "battle damage" such as tears and scorches.

It is fine in my opinion to be subtlely different as a reward for backers, so the slight difference is seen and shows prostege, yet the model itself is available for everyone because it is a good model. This applies to the delta. They did a fairly smart move. Usually, I am good at coming up with strategic decisions a company could do like this, but this one suprised me, in the best of ways.

ALSO, come to think of it, think Planetside 2, and the NS44 Commisioner, and the variants for prestige earning, such as NS44P and NS44G Commisioners for advertizement giveaway and contest giveaway, respectively.

That could have been the original plan, but now there are only going to be 4 main animation rigs and 3 uber weapons.
As a result, no Commander is going to be 100% unique.

I think the intent was in terms of the visuals, not so much the construction.

Mike

Was that what Uber intended, or what we wanted them to intend?

In regards to?

Mike

? Or am I asking crazy questions that make no sense?

Well originally I think they had planned for something more open ended, but with the Custom Commanders involved it turned out to not really be feasible. The different Uber Weapons seem to mostly just be an offshoot of Jon's original idaes for Commander Abilities/attributes and such, which if I had to guess got cut due in part to the negative knee-jerk reactions and the added complexity.

Mike

The possibility that knee-jerk reactions is effecting the games development was a sad thought.......

Of the two I'm assuming the complexity played a bigger role.
