Question gets answered, not surprised. One of the few serious questions.

Question gets answered...feels special =P

hey ben, will u pleast change my tag to Beast

Did Ben like my idea of the sights and reloading anim?

Will do.

Someone go beg for an answer to registration in my absence, please. Particularly worded like this.

Oh but it is, the whole forum has been a lie set up for you >:D

And yes, a live Q/A session would be much more efficient than this. I'll try to be there.

It is not a conspiracy I promise

Bahahaha.... The day I leave. That's hilarious.

A live chat with Ben in #AoS is scheduled for August 1, 2011 6pm East Coast USA time zone.

Fucking awesome (especially RTS elements)

Ben, i think that in combat defending position should be more easy, than attacking (now it is almost same things). Maybe, accuracy should be less for moving players (at least, not absolute) - as example. Itll give players more direction - like building and defending lines of trenchs (and hard&organising capturing of enemy trenches).

That about a point in survey about it?

Sorry my broken english

@Anomalous, it would be like MAG. Have you ever played that? Squad commanders can put down waypoints for the squad to go to and stuff, it's pretty cool.

My post was used, I am now happy.

The RTS element sounds weird to me. I'm a fan of RTS games, but I don't know about RTS elements being added to this game. But, I won't dismiss it before I try it.

Ahh, i was hoping for a good answer like that =P

gold for the honey,
green for the money.

Blue oblivion, largely lit, smiled and smiled at me.

really don't see how adding more guns fixes the problem when the same sniper rifle effect can be had with one gun and the cone's changes he was talking about.

New cone idea is awesome. Basically you could hit further targets with SMG using single or burst shots.

also, if you need inpiration from an RTS game then take it from battalion wars.

the new cone idea sounds even worse.
ben, please fix the cone back to normal, if you decide to not listen to the pleas of many distressed players then at the least could you water down the semi so that it's like a propper assault rifle and then implement a balanced (BUT WITH NO CONE) sniper rifle?
*waits for a verbal attack from noobs*

I think he should really give us more updates about the game though, or a weekly update.

Definitely agree with this. Ben has stated himself that he is a lurker, I'm sure he logs onto the forums at least once a day. It would be nice if he would give us some updates along the way, not just making us wait a month for each little scrap of information.

EDIT: Fix this fucking cone. I am sick of this bullshit.

I'm with Nowa on that one. But being a counterstrike player i am pretty biased to the cone's staying.

I'm actually glad about the first bullet being 100 accurate and what not. Sniping would return, and the smg would become a bit better on long range and you couldget some headshots with it, or atleast not waste a clip per enemy (exageration)

@Khan: But first, we need to clean up the online community. (Cleanse! Purge! KILL! >:U)

As for the accuracy issue, at least the first shot being dead on is better than the whole thing being randomized.

Yeah I'm a bit upset that only a few were answered. Then again, most of the questions were just dumb/attention seeking/troll attempts/etc.

:'(
We waited so long for only 3? I demand an answer to every one! :P

Also, from what Ben is saying about the RTS element, capture rewards, and improved accuracy, AoS can only get better.

Oh. Well I like camping. It's a tactic.

By setting up a tent I meant camping...

Yeah, but then again, builders gonna build. What do they care if their team isn't winning?
