Inverse Kinematic Animations. Some sort of a phyisical correct animation especially for the legs when moving up or down a slope. Disappointment of the day: a f*cking IS light? ANOTHER ONE? My wallet was ready for a collector edition of either Locust IIC, Piranha or Fire Moth. Aren't there enough IS Lights available already? Other than that the roadmap is full of vague information and postponements. They better deliver some awesome January & February patches including a sufficient time to test the new skill tree system on the PTS. I am curious about the future mech pack system. I bet they'll do something like this: 1. Release a new chassis' hero mech first (like they did back in the day for MCs) 2. Following this - probably in the next patch after the hero - they offer the standard variants (for $$ of course). Special benefits like early adopter might still be applicable to this system.
Very cool! Perhaps this can pave the way to crouching animations or other sorts of animations or actions
Timeline advance. I wonder how far forward we're going, since they are including 3060+ 'Mechs. Rotary Autocannons? Medium Range Missiles? Light Engines? Light Gauss? Heavy PPC? IS ER Lasers? IS Streaks? Hyper-Assault Gauss? Heavy Lasers? Light Machine Gun? Heavy Machine Gun? (Seriously, did Clan really get much of anything after 3050?) What all are we going to get? Are they going to include "Advanced" and "Experimental" equipment? Also, Hauptmann or GTFO.
#bringbackrandommaps Hardly ever play maps like terra therma, caustic, forest colony. I miss the days of random maps...
As far as IKs are concerned, I don't understand why they have had problems in the past. IK riggs are there to make the animationation process easier for the Animators. In a ga.e setting it works with the physics system to allow for interCton with objects in the virtual world... Setup is all in Cryengine... In reality the statement should have went. We don't really know how to animate in a game setting correctly, so in the mean time we are going to do it wrong, while we learn how to design games.... We estimate.ate that will happen around the time hell freezes over, so it will be very soon... By the way, I've ripped the models and bone rigs from their files. While the models are great, the bone Riggs are messy, inefficient and sometimes just dumb. Whatever. Skidog out
By the way, sorry I haven't been on in a while guys, the site is blocked at work, so no posting on my lunch any more unless I'm on my phone, and I have posting from my phone.
Fansites usually last longer than official sites, and it's not like MWO is as popular as LoL, WoW, or Call of Duty.
