Skirmish Content Kickstarter ?

<< < (3/3)

Helios.:
is there a date for alliance then? even a rough release would be fine if it means more skirmish content....

Helios.:
hoooly crap it says FALL 2016, that means no new skirmish stuff for a WHILE!

Hoja Lateralus:
I heard rumours Howard said 2016 but not very confidently.

To be fair, Matthew said that there are people working on VIP mode and something else. But yeah, no significant additions to the Skirmish will be made for a while (maybe that's why they deal with balance stuff now? it doesn't require much specialised work but it's something I guess?).

It is the real main game, and why people keep playing. PvE just does not suit how the game plays. It wears out fast. I dropped $10 on the coop expansion. I would pay at least double if Skirmish had an update as large as what is currently in Alliance.

This.  +100.  Just a single round of Alliance in Normal mode feels like running a marathon; it's sufficiently un-fun (especially with the constant and somewhat ridicuolous airplane attacks) that I've only completed a handful of matches (and actually won somehow, so it's not so much a question of ability as just it not being an enjoyable experience at all).  When you win a particularly difficult Skirmish 6 - 7 against captains your level, you feel somewhat drained but still energized from actually pulling that off at the last second against real players (or on the other side, for coming so close).  Alliance just leaves you feeling drained.

We loose more players to noobs giving up before things get good than Vets giving up when they run out of content.

Heh.  Pushing new players into Alliance would be like airdropping a fresh recruit that hasn't even gone through boot camp behind enemy lines with no weapons.  Not exactly a good idea. ;)
