Ask the Devs an MXO design question v.7

**Rarebit**

Here you can ask questions about MXO design, and the dev's'll consider answering them. Only the first valid question in the first post after the last dev answer will be answered, so if someone's already posted a new question, don't bother trying yours until a dev has replied to the other one.

We mere devs don't answer questions about Customer Service issues, Technical Support issues, release schedules, story spoilers, or other hard things like that, and those questions will be skipped or removed.

If you want to discuss something that comes up here at greater length with your fellow players, please take that discussion to its own separate thread.

Edited posts will not be answered (this is mainly to avoid people posting a placeholder just to get their post in first).

Posts that can't get along with the other posts will be removed and possibly reported to the friendly moderators.

When -- roughly -- will this year's Hallowe'en hijinks start and are there any new tricks and treats in store for us?

PS. Thanks for bringing this back, Rare!

Did I just say no schedule questions, or did I just imagine that?

New treats, dunno about new tricks.

Was there a "useropts guy" on the original team who specified in adding options to the client, or was it a more split up process? I'm curious about useropt history really.

Not that I know of. I think engineers tend to add options pertaining to their own part of the project. Following that theory, then probably it was the graphics engineer who added most of them.

Did I put to much time into analyizing the weapon in your current signature?

It struck me as odd because of the stark contrast to the lack of any serious "soviet" hardware inside MxO.

It's just a silenced LaLone, from what i can tell. or one of the BR class Rifles.

Aw, I hope hot. I got this random urge to really spend some time into figuring out the weapons classification, based on the fact that its design was much different then what we have readily available in MxO, and Rarebits way of hinting about things in his sketches.

Yes. Everything I know about guns I learned from MXO.

*CENSORED*.

I got my hopes up.

Read my story and give me some feed back?

What were the intentions for those accesible areas in some buildings that are only reachable by hyperjumping to them?

There are no in-game sniper rifle models. And yeah, NightTrace, it's kinda russian. It resembles a version of the Dragunov.

You mean like balconies or something? I don't think those had a particularly special intent behind them.

Would it be possible to tie the "free for all" zone to something as specific as a fight club basement?
