Will you ever add the portal weapons?
I don't believe Portal weapons will make their way into AOW (I remember the team saying they are completely different entities and there would be problems).
Would be sweet if we could get masteries and stuff with the old weapons though - they handle quite different now (at least it seems that way), but are still fun

IIRC it was mentioned in the unlisted video for S1, but here's a link to a screencap (I assume Straatford) confirming that they had announced plans to start bringing guns over.
Folks reasonably assumed that meant during S1 as no firm timetable beyond was given. Guess we just have to hope that DICE CM's are allowed to discuss this topic so they can tell us what the heck is going on with it. It sucks that it feels like DICE CM's aren't allowed to talk about anything in-development without going through 23 layers of internal approvals.Good looking notes overall now that I've had a chance to read through. Still work to do but lots of problem areas are being worked on and bugs are being fixed but...
What's going on with specialists? So we're getting some visual updates which is nice and all (Sundance is hard to tell, seems like her hair is a bit smaller? And don't ask me about Falck...wrinkles on her brow? No facial hair on either so it's less obvious), but...what's going on with specialists? Is it taking forever just to do some minor visual updates for them? Is this the extent of the "tone" changes after removing the cringe end of round lines?
What about the design of them, and the ill-fated "specialist feedback loop"? At this point I feel like we should just assume that these "Feedback loops" are done, that the rare email survey's are about all we're gonna get, and it feels like the big February "WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU TO IMPROVE THE GAME!" sentiment was a load of BS the studio never intended to deliver on, especially after realizing how badly it was going in the first map feedback loop thread.
Specialists are being given new voice lines before and during matches as well to give a more hardened feel. People were saying they were all too clean and stuff so visually, debris and other tweaks to reduce bugs were made.
A lot of it is pretty subtle, but something is better than nothing and we're getting there.
Can't really speak for the feedback loops - we are getting a drip feed but you're right - it's always nice to have more. I reckon we'll see an increase in frequency closer to S2
