The Removal of IO's and the addition of RTO's

[Fortelian]

I like playing as survivor (and to a greater extent survivor synth) too. But being IO is a different experience as mentioned before, and the chances of survival as compared to a survivor is much higher

Fair enough, survivor is more fast paced action, IO is more support while not wanting to get lurkered.

They will remove headsets from marines and the only way to talk to ship is via RTO, this is done to fix lag and many of it comes from chat and as such radio as well

Sounds interesting but there would be an outrcy among marine players if they'd really do remove the headsets, still it would encourage marines to communicate more and stick together as a squad more which seems nice to me

[ManoftheMountain]

Also, did the devs say what rank the RTO would hold?

UPD: Also, happy birthday! (if this forum doesn't lie about it)

Thanks! Sometimes I even forget my own birthday.

If they do remove headsets, this RTO addition will make sense. I still don't totally agree with the whole removal of DEFCON, but I do agree that RTO's will be necessary if such change should happen. It might spice up gameplay/roleplay.

Corporal. The RTO would be part of the squad on the same level as the SG.

i didnt knew, i started playing 1 and a half year ago and io was well implented, i taught it was much older.
but yhea, it still dumb to remoove good content that dont need to be remooved.

the removal of the radio to emplent the new radio guy (to remove lag) seem like an interesting idea and
the adding of objective in game seems interesting since both those things ADD to the game.

but thats not a reason to REMOOVE fonctional good features.
couldnt they make their new stuff witout remooving io and defcon?...

the ONLY thing that should be remooved is lag. never game content / features / gameplay options / rp opportunity.

They're not removing defcon, it's being changed to techweb which will probably be similar

[Fortelian]

But we're all fine with DEFCON, why do ya gotta come here and stir up things, we don't need updates, just work on the lag man.

[Stan_albatross]

It's probably more fun to work on a new role for Marines with new equipment etc than work on reducing lag
