What type of events will be hosted? From what I understand there will be streams and videos which is really nice by the way . But will we have in game events as well? In the old MA some people hosted events but they would have to pay out of their own pocket and there was very little events done by the old publishers (or none at all) and everything was done by the players. This got expensive fast but it was really fun . Some events for example would be: PVP battles with only grenades, Tourneys, and Fanart contest just to name a few.Also who will these events be hosted by if they are hosted?
We're certainly planning to hold events throughout the service of Metal Assault. The types will be determined based on what we're able to support and what the community enjoys. I'm sure we'll try a few different things here and there, to see what the response and affects are from the start.
Will there be possibilities for Players that have a good idea for event to post on the forums and if it gets enough positive feedback become an event that comes out?
I know I've supported many community events before, so I see no reason it can't be done. How its gone down before is, whoever wants to run an event, the event details need to get ran by me for a green light. Usually all I'm looking for is to make sure it's a fair event anyone can participate in, and we confirm times, how it'll operate and what the rewards might be and we go from there.
In Case Friends with Benefits douse not come out for Metal Assault I was wondering if there could be an alternative? Such as once the player reaches certain lvl's you get reward/s. This is Strictly assuming that FWB doesn't come out for MA or won't be out for awhile.(I'd love if a Ladder boost was a reward but that's just me )
Well the entire Friends with benefits was under review, last I heard. So putting up an alternative, might end up being as much effort as just finishing out whatever alterations we want to put in to the Friends with Benefits program to make it available. I'm still waiting to hear back on the overall status of the program with Metal Assault.
Will the Item mall be out soon after release?
Very likely it will be available at launch.
Will MA be getting anyone else to help out such as somebody in game or on the forums specifically for MA?
That is yet to be determined. We have a history of recruiting volunteers within the community to help on the forums and be points of contact for us to keep involved and informed within the community. I'm sure we'll make the effort to continue this successful involvement and path so Metal Assault thrives on for this community.
Will the game be getting updates as the developers make them? Such as how the old MA was *Months* behind the other versions.
Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the timeline we'll have for updates, but I do know the development team has been helpful and responsive to every report and all communications we've had with them. If a schedule of any kind becomes available, I'll be sure to share it with the community so everyone can look forward to future content.
