Will there be a score tracking system in the website? In your profile will it give information of K/D ratio, medals and other info as well? Could it have information, besides K/D ratio, points and such, info like most used weapon/class, most effective weapon/class, how many bullets fired, accuracy, how many times you've been squad leader and your effectiveness doing it?

As well, will the servers and teamspeak/mumble information be available on the site so that we can launch it directly from the site?

One last thing, and sorry for asking this, I don't want it to seem like I'm insisting, it's just out of curiosity really. If you need more man power to finish the game, and many of them ask for payment, why don't you use the website Kickstarter to raise some money and help pay for everything you need to do? Just like Squad is doing? Did you already consider it but said no?

Whilst we intend to keep track of various statistics, we've certainly not finalised which ones will be available in-game or post-game. I quite like the idea of displaying some on the website though, so it's something to consider and add to the todo list - thanks!

I've no idea about server/Mumble info on the site, but I have a vague idea of how launching from links on the website could be done. So once again, something to think about, even if not for initial release.

As for Kickstarter, something like that leads us towards dangerous waters in regards to whether we're a paid or free product, and that brings in to question various licensing issues (amongst other things). It's something we'd have to think long and hard about, and I'm not really in the position to be able to speak for the team about that.

It would be cool to have the server info so that you just look for a populated server and just launch from there, instead of opening the game, looking for a server and such. Same with TS.

You should really consider it, or at least donations via Paypal. I'm sure you will get the amount needed. What about the servers? Will you guys pay the server company with your own money? You guys don't owe us anything, we owe you everything since you guys are really working your ass off, without anything in return. I think that would be the least we could do.

So you mean a server system like battlelog for battlefield series? I like it, but I hate EA :p

I can imagine the Kickstarter backer rewards...

$10 - Immunity from Mudra hurting you.
$20 - Signed photo of Hanni
$50 - Special in-game cat hat
$100 - Dinner with Volcol
$500 - Personal drive around France by Naga and you get to stroke his hair
$1000 - Homemade cookies, made with love, by [MENTION=109]Maniche[/MENTION]

Begin serious reply: Kickstarter isn't for us. We may possibly have donations in the future but is uncertain.

You forgot the most important one!! $1000 - Homemade cookies, made with love, by [MENTION=109]Maniche[/MENTION]

Ok, but would that be to cover the server/website cost? Or is it going out of your own pockets?

Yes, how could I forget. Added!

Currently our site is funded by our wonderful Director*, I highly doubt we will be able to foot server bills but as I said, we're uncertain yet, but something will be sorted out.

*Who probably doesn't want you to know that so I'll probably be banned now.

You'd have to be more worried about how many cookies maniche will seize in the name of.. "additional expenses" or tips. Remember in his case it will be a big terms and conditions apply

*We are not responsible for any cookies siezed by maniche, expect no cookies but thankyou for your 1000$

Calglobin, that's so Snowden, releasing secret information to the public.
In all seriousness, this makes me respect you guys even more, thank y'all! All hail the Director! ("Hail!")
[MENTION=2672]Sydd[/MENTION] Hahahaha, and just like we do it every time, we will agree/accept the conditions without reading them.
