Developer Q&A - 04/23/2020
Hi Holotable Heroes, The team is getting ready for the Q&A at 12:30pm PT today. We've got a bunch of questions that we answering already from the survey so post your questions in the thread and we'll...
Forum Discussion
TOPIC: Quality of life
Q: Would it be possible to add some confirmation warning dialog for joining to grand arena? This is common issue that people joining accidentally but there is no rejoin button, so having such warning would be helpful.
Q: Is displaying in-game stats something within reach for the development team? Example if character 1 and 2 are granting character 3 potency up could CH create an in battle screen or pop up that would show the total potency character 3 has
Q: Why isn’t all gear available to make into salvage? For instance, Mk 12 armatek tactical data, which is a g12 piece would theoretically fit in well with creating electrium conductor salvage, but it’s not a choice to use. What is the point of having a game mode such as the salvager where we can trade old or unneeded gear for other needed equipment if you can’t even use some of the gear in that game mode?

- A: CG_Tophat - It is possible. I just wrote the ticket and put it into the backlog. No promises on when it shows up, but we'll try to get it figured out soon.

- A: CG_Coffee - We have a lot of interest in this and think it's a great idea, it comes down to implementing it. It's not a simple task to get in so needs a good chunk of time allocated to it. Getting the UI to work how we want, displaying information well, is a difficult task and would take away from building other new things for the game.

- A: CG_Cyanides - The answer is actually due to some technical limitations. When we originally designed the Scavenger, we set it up for all gear pieces to be included. Once we got further in the process however, we had to make decisions on which pieces of gear could be converted as we could not support having all gear pieces included.
