Here you go, the latest question of the week.
QOTW What do you See? (Invisibility) (http://forums.play-earthrise.com/index.php?topic=2777.0)
Hello everyone!
With the incredible interest in one of our most recent Questions of the Week, we decided to talk about the term 'invisibility' and what it means in an Earthrise context.
Invisibility will play an important role in Earthrise as players will have access to cloaking technology that can let light through from every angle and side and create the optical illusion. This technology will have severe limitations, requiring players to trade off the use of many power-hungry abilities of their suits and weapons in order to support the cloaking effect. We are currently beta testing internally the effects of invisibility both in active combat and as a great way to approach and ambush your opponents and coming up with neat ways to use it in your advantage without disrupting balance; keep in mind we will explain in detail the various aspects of using invisibility in exploration, PvP and even in siege battles. One thing you can know for certain - in Earthrise invisibility will be a tactical tool with serious tradeoffs that must be considered in advance.
Don't disappear on us - we want to hear your thoughts! Keep in mind there will be more information coming, so let's hear it - or join one of the current threads in progress. (Keep in mind duplicate postings in both threads will either be merged in to the proper thread or deleted in accordance with our continual efforts to keep threads on track.)
See you next Monday with another great topic.
