Twitchy Questioning 7: Questions Are Forever

S weapons were introduced to give people something to look forward to when spamming Premium packs (paraphrasing Bastiaan). Also wanted to make viable versions of the starter weapons.

Packs first roll on which rarity you get, if you roll UR, you get it. But onc eyou arein the Rare pool you could get an S weapon.

Zalkin redesign, now 3-shot burst fire, not as unique but more viable and easy to use.

They will update patch notes with numbers.

Tech Combo boost helps the Exemplar (new char) b/c he is tech heavy.

Actively looking at Annihilation not priming right away.

Rage got completely changed. No longer needs to be specifically melee, etc... see other thread.

Ready Up bar got a large evolution. Lots of feedback around 4th player not readying up. Purposfully didn't do that, was inconsistently working in 3 or 2 player lobbies. But person who is last to ready up will now know it. More states:
every time ready bar changes, it will flash
if you are the last person, your bar turns orange and has audio queue in background to alert you

Fernando notes more advanced players want to get thru matches quickly. (So, they are aware of different playstyles!)

Negative is XP booster only starts working once it is consumed. If you drop on wave 3, won't do anything.

Packs

Best slot of that pack will try to drop weapon in Arsenal pack, character in Reserves pack. But you could get anhything in any pack b/c other slots have chances to drop those.

Bastiaan describes buying mods in MF store as "another sink for your Mission Funds". LOL! So honest!

Re-ordered the list of packs to put Premiums at top (so be careful you don't accidentally buy wrong one thru muscle memory - JR)

Also focus remains on pack when you buy over and over

Fernando: MF really is an engagement thing. No cash. For players playing ever day to stay engaged.
