Opinion on new release

[r_Micky30 4]

Hi,

 

So the new release is out and there are a lot of comments already about it.

 

First let me point to some differences of how developers and players might look at the result. If 99% of the hard work is done the developers have a solid reason to be proud, however players (customers) might focus on the 1%. This is not whining -- who would like a car that work 99% -- it means it will fail you in 4 days a year ..

 

Anyway, whats good

1. The new look is fresh and despite of more details the framerate has gone up so even on my laptop its not a problem any more and I can even switch on the skybox.

2. Tanks look like plastic toys -- very appropriate :lol:

 

Questionable:

3. Explosion when tanks is destroyed -- looks artificial and if I had a tuning option I'd switch it off.

4. Ricochet plasma balls look a lot like twins electric balls -- I cant imagine why that was changed.

 

Pit of jar in a honeybot

5. While the tracks are kinda moving, from a side tanks look still like monolithic boxes -- that looks really weird. In TO 2.0 preview the sides were animated too so it can be done. I will be looking forward to see that change too.

 

Again about DCC and moneymaking:

The updated tip says "visit us every day and you will be rewarded by a gift"

Since DCC is not a gift diving DCC instead of gift is cheap cheating on clients.

 

There are other ways to make money

 

Lieutenant_Me proposed "why not to sell billboards as advertising space?". Whats wrong with that idea -- absolutely nothing. Its brilliant.

 

If needed, DCC's could be offered additionally on random days -- come on, how much would TO loose, if they would give supplies every day. If this is really too much, just reduce the amount of the daily gift. Just don't fool customers.
