Micro payments make me nervous, don't get me wrong i'm perfectly willing to pay for a game but so many of the MP game si've tried havn't even tried to disguise the money sink aspects. On the other hand I'm a huge JA fan so i'm sure i'll get a taste for your take on the business model before SR comes out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll be especially interested in potential mutliplayer aspects as there are a lot of folks I've played SR with who are scattered around the country so even that bit of connection would be cool. |

Country? Man, try the planet! So many folks I'd be really happy gaming with.
Might have to dust off the ol' IRC and try chat before this MMO comes out. |

QUOTE (primetide @ Jul 4 2011, 03:41 PM)  sorry to have gone silent- we are knee deep in jagged alliance online currently, so the rest of the stuff takes a bit of a backseat Unless you plan to release updates to the game engine that edit bugs back in ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I was just curious, but best of luck with JAO. Hey, if there's any news on that you can maybe just post it here too? Pretty sure many here would be interested. I, for one. QUOTE Might have to dust off the ol' IRC and try chat before this MMO comes out. irc.dumpshock.com ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Yeah, I'll double the JAO love as well. I really enjoyed the Jagged Alliance universe, and not just for the Canadian References. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
And I haven't had IRC working on the last two computers I've had, so I got to re-learn how to use the bloody thing. |

Jagged alliance online looks pretty cool but I do have one question; from what I've read there are going to be 60 different Mercs in the game, since this is going to be multiplayer does this mean that player might find them selves in a bidding war with others for a mercenary's services. Or will every one's campaign be separate with PvP battles possibly having the same guy on opposing sides?

First off, thank you for taking a very loyal approach to both the game system and setting.
Looking forward to Jagged Alliance Online as well! |

Wouldn't have spammed this with JAO, but on popular demand- first pre-Alpha Previews
http://www.tentonhammer.com/jagged-allianc...eviews/pre-beta Regarding the Mercs Question...this is surely off topic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - we discuss JAO at Bear's Pit (toughest Jagged Alliance site on the planet) or on Facebook or in our own Forums (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE Wouldn't have spammed this with JAO, but on popular demand- first pre-Alpha Previews http://www.tentonhammer.com/jagged-allianc...eviews/pre-beta Thanks. Not only does this take lots of us back to the good old days, so to speak, it's also a similar game as the SR Online game will be, right? So we can make guesses as to what you look to do with SRO from what you do with JAO. Looks pretty slick. And it's turn based with limited time per turn, did I get that right? |

Its getting better and better. The city overview map with Action Points to spend on contacts, locations, mr johnsons, gear, missions info, etc. is awesome. Could I suggest the hiring/missions gathering aspect to be based around different "Mr Jonhsons", each with different profiles leading to different kinds of jobs (gang busting, industrial espionage, government jobs, matrix/hacking, criminal underworld, etc), and different payment levels ? Another suggestion would be to have a matrix overview map analogous to the city one, where you could visit sites and nodes to acquire info or make online deals. (you could even make Shadowland the central hub for "shadow-info" collecting and dealing). Oh, do you guys think in having just one city, or various ones ? If just one, I vote for Seattle, as its the most "classical" shadow hub of the series. If various, I vote for adding, and detailing, Denver to the pack, as it can be considered the second more "classical" shadowhub on the series. |

London and Berlin would also be good cities, fleshed out (Although Germany is best done in German). Chicago would be nice for the "Rough Missions" that require an "In and out" long-term mission thread.

We are definitely going for several cities, exact number is to be confirmed. Seattle, Berlin, Londomn, Paris and perhaps Chicago may be a good mix to start with...

Hopefully see some Canadian cities finally fleshed out.
Toronto is a den of scum and villainy already, and that's just in the boardrooms! And Winnipeg is a bordertown now (In Shadowrun), and is fighting to get the Murder Capital and Car Theft Capital Of Canada back... |
