It was nice knowing that implants will only last for 24 hours, not too long, not too short. Of course it would also be nice having them on at all times but this makes it easier for new players. Makes everyone more equal.

Huh, wasn't expecting this. Nice!

Nice one mate

[MacTruckuLes]

alot of these implants remind me of COD and tribes:Acesend perks.

[Broadside]

looks cool, thanks.

I actually don't like the 24 hour thing. Especially considering how weak they are. Probably wont bother with them unless there is nothing else to spend Auraxium on. PS1 implants were a lot cooler.

I'd prolly get the faster reload considering I suffer from Reloadititis.

Given this demonstration, I'm confident that they will make the implants stronger during beta, or no one will EVER buy them. Level 3 is barely noticeable. It's ok; beta will bring good changes :-)

Are the boosters going to last 24 hours as well? TB didn't mention them in the video. I'm sure the boosters will be cost effective and not overly costly with a wimpy duration, but I hope they're at least monthly. Something like an XP boost would be equivalent to a monthly fee, $15 a month or so.

Nice.
I really like the fact the implants give you just slight advantage that doesnt make a dramatic difference in combat.
I only think it would be better if they make it so you can buy implants permanently.
The problem with them lasting for only 24 hours,is that people who would play the game every day for 4+ hours and maybe even get boosters will be able to get them no problem,but people who play occasionaly or play actively for a week and than stop for a week,will strugle with the implants.

Beeing able to buy 1-2 implants should be accessable for anyone.
This way players will be at equal footing since the implants would simply be trade offs compared to each other.

The vehicle timer ones seemed relatively cheap (25 each, 50 for the combos), while the advanced infantry ones are the expensive ones (200 for the level 3 stuff). If you want to play as a dedicated infantry guy, you aren't going to be spending a lot of your resources on vehicles, so this does give you something to spend them on to improve that particular playstyle. Very nice!

As to being weak, sure they're not Personal Shield or Second Wind, but in a fast-paced shooter that split second faster reload time or weapon swapping can make a difference.
