2016 migh just be a good year! *Fingers Crossed*
And nice detail move here: Commander dropped equipment will be of the commander’s selected variant
I'm very against tournament win items, unless the game really jumps off with thousands of players. You're basically just choosing 20 people who might get the item then, and that's lame. There's no skill distribution between teams in the game at this point. Once the tournament is a real tournament I can see the value.
Tournament participation, such as watching the official NS2 twitch stream during a major event on the other hand, that's cool as hell! @Yaluzan make them do dis
During a discussion with @remi he has agree to make a paintball mode for us!
Lets cheer @remi on and get this fun game mode implemented for us! Awesome us to get the ball rolling
Haha, this is a lie. But I do love the brainstorming (and we could do paint decals...)!
We're still working on it. In the playtests we didn't see any issues with the addition of the Tundra pack but we are still close to that line. Definitely let us know if you run into any problems with it.
In terms of adding more: there are a lot of avenues we can pursue to free up memory and push more stuff in. Obby has been doing good work with texture optimizations which didn't go in on this patch, but would more than balance out the additional memory cost of the Tundra textures. There are also tons of items we could make which would be far less memory intensive than total model re-skins, as well as engine changes to ensure we're not using more memory than we need to be for the skins.
Eventually, if all else fails, we could work on switching the game to 64 bit... but that is likely a several month endeavor, not just a quick toggle of some build parameter.
If a bug is persistent enough, it becomes a feature
No one's paying for anything that other people aren't forced to look at.
I'll still prob buy this even though I hide view models. Enjoy my money!
1) I don't think pre-order black armor should be trade-able. If anything it should be upgraded to distinguish itself more from these new armors (shiny gold trim might be a nice touch).
Add an exo/rifle/shotgun skin just for pre-order black armors.
2) Give a discount for those that buy a skin pack at full price, so if they purchase a future set it will always be 50% off or something.
3) If this DLC skin test is successful, consider adding a few structure related skin packs for commanders. If a player buys the "commander pack" then his comm chair has a neat custom skin while he is in the chair. Apply the nanoshield vfx while it changes the skin. The same would go if he went for alien commander. Maybe the hive changes to a more red and menacing skin when he's inside it. Medpacks/ammo have a related skin, while drifters match the theme of the main hive.
I've been playing since the beginning of workshop with my black plated FPS viewmodels, however the world models are just the default ones T_T
I agree, this would be awesome!
Bling bling?
edit: hmm cant sell stuff older then 1 year, is that it?
New vent from garage to alley + offices
New vent from botany to plaza bridge
new los blocking object in turbines
some los blocking objects in alley to block window sniping
more cover in plaza
however these vents do not appear on the minimap as it as not updated
Is that all the derelict b277 changes?
That's pretty good but the color should be less yellow (a little more reddish in it), and maybe have a 'shiny' shader on it.
I'm thinking more of this color:

Also, do you actually receive some percentage from the market transactions? Because I usually buy cosmetic items to support game devs. If you had no benefit from market transactions, that would be good to know.
And lastly, is it possible to include multiple images for a single item in your item store? Because for example for rifle and shotgun skins, the artworks is nice, but I'd like to see how it looks inside the game, from player's POV. Could you add such screenshots?
