Unknown Worlds - A huge "Thank you!"

InvictvsInvictvs Join Date: 2012-06-18 Member: 153390Members
I just wanted to thank your small group of dedicated game developers for putting together an amazing sequel to an amazing game! 6 of you. 6, have done what mega corporations like Blizzard strive to complete, and you have only done it with 6 people. You guys are in constant contact with your player base, you have made some of the most memorable games that I have played, your feedback to us as a community has been amazing, and you have done it with only 6 people.

I was curious, if you were to give some of the biggest game developing company a word of advice or some sort of constructive criticism, what would it be?

See you in the trenches,
- Invictvs

    It's funny how a positive thread makes you feel awkward. How dare you post a praise, do you not see the ARC trains? DO YOU NOT SEE HOW MANY ARCS THERE ARE? THEY'RE NANOSHIELDED FOR GOD'S SAKE!

    The issues with ARCs can be easily fixed. In fact, if that is all you have to complain about, I would warrant it to be a non-issue. Besides, this game is still in beta right? The beta version of this game towers over the quality of games produced by companies which are exponentially larger in size and capitol to invest in projects.

    Now I got it!!

    We need non-skippable starting-screens that say 'This is a Beta, it doesn't represent the final product'. And 'Experience may vary during online play'. And 'Don't copy and sell on your own'.


    I always thought these screens would be unnecessary and annoying, but actually the internet-community forces companies to try that kind of stuff.

    So, guys: stay calm, if you don't want this.

    Edit: Yeah OP, yesterday I played the game and thought "I've never seen such an immense atmosphere and unbelievable artwork in any (multiplayer) game".
    Plus, NS is the only game that manages to combine RTS and FPS in a fun way.

    What; no, 'If you experience head trauma, blurriness, or blinding light changes you may have epilepsy and should stop playing this game and see a doctor immediately!'
    You never know when Unknown might get sued because the lights shut off in a room and slowly fade to a sickly red as the marines are toggling their flashlights rapidly.

    Oh god, can't believe people are trying to turn this into a balance thread. This thread is heart-warming, let's not ruin it.

    Been enjoying NS2 quite a bit in the last few builds. By far my most played game. I'm also really encouraged that you guys are being so accommodating to modders. I've never modded a game, but I am a programmer, and I've started to play a bit with the included tools. Definitely going to continue doing so more in the future.

    Omg q1 brings back memory's. I wish there were some Aussie servers still. And q2 and a few with mods running. Wonder what it would take to set up a box these days and run a few old school game dedicated servers. And spread the word.

    I do like the comment at the end in the old days we used to rocket jump up hill and back on our way to school. Through lava. So true. These talks were the high light of the morning.

    Last night I rocket jumped all three lvls in q2dm1 did a 180 gl'ed the guy following me with a mini gun. 180ed back to rail gun a guy in the face. Grappling hooked through his corpse to steal his hyper blaster before it fell down the elevator shaft. Epic. Ah those were the days. When a vampirism ruin ment the difference between a pawn and a god.

    They don't make them like they used to. I'd lost it's arcadieness
