Community Kickstarter to fund Shields

Sep 24, 2012 TheRedSpy link
So the title is kind of a joke, shields = some in-game content vs the kind of work the devs are doing atm

Crowsourcing is cool, all the cool kids are doing it.. and we can be cool too!! It has been revealed by Incarnate and the developer team is receiving a lot of additional funding from tech demos and structural upgrades to the engine. While many of us understand this is a safe business decision to ensure the long term success of the title, there are many more of us that are frustrated at the lack of new content and are quickly getting bored with the status quo.

My suggestion is the devs do a little bit of math to come up with a few options or a tiered campaign on kickstarter to fund a bunch of major new content. At least give the gaming community the option of competing with the corporate funding offers that you're receiving so we can get some of the much needed features going.

Incarnate, help us to help you!!!

Because there's stuff that needs to be fixed before shields happen.

The android / tablet / whatever revenue source will dry up soon enough.

Yes it is. Says so right in the subject line. If that's not the case stop posting misleading forum topics!

"shields = some in-game content vs the kind of work the devs are doing atm"

As in ANYTHING that is visible playable content, what the devs offer will have to be up to them because the cost of implementing say, faction redux fixes will be obviously less than shields and what not.

Again, making semantic point is not a substitute for reading properly ARF

I would donate if it was something viable that the devs picked.
