DirtyBird · 2013-02-07, 10:25 PM

Looks cool but I think I'm going to need a bigger screen!

Not bad. Might be nice to have arrows on either side of the 3D model to quickly cycle between available weapons for the slot.

Awesome then wait till another time and post constructively.

Everyone on the Internet is a professional

Nice. I'm guessing that those numbers mean that there is now more than 3 customisation options for each class now. Hopefully they also correspond to hotkeys so that we can grab out loadouts quicker.

Slowly, slowly... we will get back original Planetside elements ;p

I think it should be pointed out that professions do/should expect to be paid for their work, so really all should have around here are arm chair folks. I mean, I don't work for free, you don't work for free, so why would a professional designer spend more time here than to say, "that stinks, do better"?

Are you serious? Who wants to have discussions on that low level? In with Hamma here, if you criticize something you can't just say "that's shit, I hate it". you need to give reasons.

Looks like someone needs to spend some of those Infantry resources.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the class list. It looks to me that it was just quickly thrown together because it's probably not going to change. I mean, Infiltrator with the Combat Medic symbol? Nah.

If one actually is trained in the area, than like it or not that is their professional opinion and they're really not obligated to spend their time solving someone else's issue in their field for free. Now for the rest of we mere mortals, indeed it should be expected and encouraged that we wax figmental about all issues here, in the hopes that a nugget of usefulness can be formed around our collective, often colourful, creativity.

One comment - I would not have 2 tiers of alternate weapons graphics - just one but still scrollable. Makes the stuff on top i.e. the attachments more useful perhaps.

OR keep the 2 tiers with the option of having the same gun with savable locked in favorites
i.e. CARV-NV scope, CARV-SILENCER

rather than 1 gun per slot

Looks really great + I love statistics

Ya good call. I'm looking too close at the details

You are right, no professional is obligated to work for free, but this is the internet, nobody knows who you are. You could be Kim jong un and say you are a professional game artist. In an internet forum all that counts is what you post. It doesn't matter what profession you really have or claim to have because there is no way to know if it's true. And because of this, the quality of your posts is not determined by your claimed profession, but by the quality of your posts.

Btw, there are many people who are really terrible at their job, so just because someone is a game designer it does not mean he is a good game designer. Respect of one's opinion has to be earned and can not be given instantly just because some guy on the internet says he is a professional whatever.

Tldr: if you criticize something, give reasons, no matter who you are. If you can't do that, don't criticize.

I would actually love that you would walk the talk and post a 3 page improvement suggestion on the UI. That would help the devs and the community a lot. And who knows what might come out of it. You are aware that they recruit from within their own community right? Ask Malorn how he got his job.

ummm could we possible get a shot that's taken from the front so it's a bit more clear? tilting my screen isn't working
