Im not gonna bother if it stays a 24 hour thing. I want permanent.

I think with the present iteration of the Implants, most people will not bother. And therefore, I think it will get reworked. Beta will bring good things :-)

looks good...
Depending on how expensive 25 Ax is, this could be good....
if 25 Ax is an easy 15 mins play (for eg), then this is good...it gives the player some Micro to do , and removes Ax from the economy (which is important, else hyper inflation)...

If 25 Ax is expensive then (say, an hour of good play), then I hope the boost is game time not real time

I expect it is option 1 though (cheap / realtime) , which I'm ok with....

Is a bit like Darklight retribution gun rental...cheap, and only slight boost..but enough to customize yourself, and give you a bit of Micro to do between spawns..

two thumbs up

Ah my bad, I thought unlocks and certs were the same thing. In that case, I have absolutely zero information on unlocks

Among other things. Auraxium is only one of the resource types.

Back to our previous points, what would you consider good and bad examples from MW? Cause I have a lot of friends that play it, and the perks are pretty ridiculous.

I just feel that as it stands, the benefit is almost non-existent and the potential for cost is high. Implants (unless you drive a vehicle) are going to be all but worthless. And personally, I'm not fond of cash sinks that are designed to be repetitive.

To be honest, you wouldn't need them if you didn't have Auraxium to begin with. Vehicle resources are just fine, Auraxium kinda feels like a weak add-on that won't go very far.

If you want it permanent, prepare for a daily 50/100/200 Ax cost.

Hey, that could be an idea. You could ask the game to automatically rebuy implants and shit after they run out.

Blackwolf · 2012-08-07, 03:01 PM

At this point, why bother merging?

Harasus · 2012-08-07, 03:04 PM

Surrender your arms immediately and follow these gentlemen in black costumes for interrogation.

Well that merge made no sense..

I take it that implants cannot be stacked? Say like 3 reflex implants at 1 time for 24 hrs?

Envenom · 2012-08-07, 03:45 PM

I'd prefer something like 72 hours, but then again, until we've all tried it who knows

SFJake · 2012-08-07, 04:15 PM

Was flabbergasted when he said there was a resource booster.

Really?

Complete P2W there, no? Plus the durations of anything, if real time, can turn out to be quite kick in the nuts for players who don't play enough. You buy them for 30 minutes instead of hours and you end up out of Auraxium because you don't make up for it. While someone who just has more free time in one day doesn't have that problem.

I know we don't have more details but these are my worries as of this video.

EDIT: Furthermore, what is the purpose of that -anyway-? Apparently that same resource is used for unlocks. Really? So I guess I'll have to just keep it for everything else until I have everything in 2-3 years? Are we punishing unlock speed just by having implants?

I mean, tell me i got it wrong. Tell me I'm missing something there.

No.

Bring back surge and audio amp

I'm not that into having these implants for just a day. It Reminds me of Blacklight Retribution which has 24hr rentals and it's annoying to have to keep track of it all the time.

I'd rather it was for a week at least than have to keep going back and renting it again every time I play.
