As for your 3rd takeaway: They deliberately said that they won't be showing us more skills to keep them as a surprise for A2. The fact that they only showed 3 to us doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have 10 more already done.
The cooldowns might have already gotten a pass, but they always disable them for showcases. I assume there is a command to remove all cooldown timers, just like the one Steven used to be friendly with the minotaurs to show off their models.
Looks at the multiple empty hopium tanks under his desk.
Respectfully, i disagree. If they showed more abilities of the Ranger, then the emphasis would go towards the abilities. Currently the emphasis is on the ranged combat, and to some extend weapons and weapon skills. Showing to much dilutes the feedback
I know they said they weren't gonna show us the all the ranger abilities but I'm with you when you say they seem further behind on archetype and class design than we think. Obviously we don't know what they have going on behind the scenes, but 8 archetypes with full kits, 64 classes with HOPEFULLY independent identity, and the entire augment system. This is like building a game within itself. I need to find a time machine!
What are your biggest takeaways from the Sept Livestream?
I really hope Alpha 2 will be March 2023..
When I was in Narc's watch party when I saw the airstrike my immediate response was, "I wonder if you can use that to get over a wall."
The excited responses in the stream of that possibility was really good.
