FAF Press release - I need your help.

Postby Ze_PilOt » 02 Oct 2013, 11:08

I want, when GW is out, send a press release to all press&web gaming sites (along other stuff that I will explain later).

This is the kind of things that need work, so I want to start it as soon as possible.
And for that I need you, mainly because english is not my primary language, and also because I lack of time.

First thing that need to be done is to go through all the patch notes on the wiki and the news and count :
- How many bug fixes/exploits. (note the most important ones for you).
- How many enhancements, and what they are (through bug fixes or just new, like the new shaders, particle effects, split attack,..).

Take the Steam version as reference.

(Balance stuff & FAF related features will come later).

You can send your notes to me for grammar revision if you wish. I have a C2 certificate in english so it shouldn't be too hard. Unless you want a native speaker....
Peace through superior firepower.

Basicly you need to compare what were before (gpg/steam) and what is now (or say what work has been done)
and highlight FAF "advatages", Right?

This is not a "what need to be done" thread, this is "I did it, here is what I've done" thread :)

I don't want you to waste time on it. I would prefer that we gather essentials data first, then determine all the key points from that, and finally write something in english from the raw data :)

The others change log are on the website : http://www.faforever.com//?s=patch#.Ukv4sNPh4XI
What about enhancements ? (I think we did quite a lot before 3623, like navy wrecks).
I can think of nuke pings ,auto-share on death, no share on death, chat saved in replays,.... We need a complete list.
