Operation: Nightfall Question Thread

[New World Interactive]

Today we are pleased to formally announce that the next content update Operation: Nightfall will be launching in June! We are going to be teasing a lot of content from today until the CTE and you can find all the information in this thread here:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/581320/discussions/0/3606765810631268568/

We’re sure you guys will have lots of questions and this is the thread to do it!

In order for our team to effectively track and respond to as many players as possible we want to separate our announcements and the questions into two threads.

Additionally to enable other players to find our official answers easily, we will also be enforcing a policy of questions only and removing posts that divulge from this. If you wish to speculate what is to come, debate other users, or discuss topics not directly related to the Nightfall update please do so in other threads.

Thread guidelines

• Your post must be a question - statements, speculation, and response will be removed.
  
• Please stick to one question per post, multi-question posts are harder to respond to.
  
• Please be specific in your questioning. Vague questions are harder to answer.
  
• Some content in this update is still being finalised and or tested, it is also subject to change based on player feedback in the CTE.
  
• We will not be able to answer all questions, either due to content not being finalised, or not yet revealed - we may be a little bit cryptic in the beginning as we don't want to ruin any surprises, but don’t worry, we’ll share and answer more as content is finalised and revealed!

Important: Please check if your question, or a similar question has been asked before posting.

Best,

New World Interactive

Notice: For this thread to be effective please keep conversations between other members to an absolute minimum, our team will be actively moderating for posts that violate the guidelines above .

Please also note Monday is a public holiday in Canada and so responses may be delayed over the long weekend.

We're very exited to share more information about the Nightfall update and your community questions relating to it! :insfist:

For me personally, I'm looking forward to the new weapons and night equipment. For weapons, we've got some awesome stealthy options coming (some you might not expect!), and the night equipment really adds to our gunplay and mechanics, gives it a great tactical feel!

We talked a little about this in our most recent State of Production, our goal is to ensure that each of our free content updates has a strong theme, rather than a loose collection of items that are unrelated, this should enable us to market each update better and bring back lapsed players to the game. We also plan for our updates to be more consistent in the amount and type of content they include so that players knows what to expect - as well as releasing on a regular and predictable schedule.

As we scale up our team, we're planning for a lot more engagement with the community (via posts like this and our live streams) raising awareness of the updates further in advance and allowing us to reach fans who may not be following updates as closely as our active players.

A strong theme, clear content plan, and regularity of content will allow us to make each update more of an event, with much greater coverage from media, influencers, and creative output on our end.

Provided our internal testing goes well we are aiming for the end of this month.

Could you be more specific, which mechanics in particular? Sandstrom has been out for over a year now, we don't plan to drastically change any of the core mechanics unless there is significant evidence to suggest it would be beneficial or community demand for us to do so.

Our main goal is to refine, improve, and expand our existing core gameplay.

First off, i'd like to say, keep doing this.

Q: Have you guys decided to do more military equipment for Insurgents and more civilian equipment for Security? I remenber that being an question in the most recent pool, have you guys decided yet?

[Jason]

Q: Do you guys plan on adding any changes to weapon statistics i.e Recoil, Damage, Supply cost etc. in the update?

We haven’t made a decision on that just yet, but I’ll say the survey answers were quite one sided on those questions!

There are always little tweaks to weapons with major updates. I imagine you want the nitty gritty details, but we aren’t ready to share those just yet.

First of all i am really excited for the new update ,and i love the direction the game is going .
My question is are you planning to add more camo/gear color options to the soldiers?
and maybe more voices & shouts etc since it really makes the game immersive. thanks!

[The roast is real]

Are there any changes to deathcam?

A question I'm sure barely anyone asks, but will the official soundtrack ever release? There are a number of tracks that are pretty great in this game. I've already successfully ripped the music from the game but I'm talking more about getting the music in a legal and conventional manner (for those that do not know the inner workings of UE4 or Wwise to go and rip the music themselves).

Another question, but will we have a content update theme (aside from Nightfall) that will be co-op focused? As a PvP player I think we are pretty much getting all kinds of things. Co-op is still hanging around with a single gamemode to play (mutators excluded as they are not interesting nor major content. Hardcore also excluded as it is essentially checkpoint with a number of mutators too), bots with odd functionality, and recently the removal of technicals from co-op game modes. There needs to be more focus for the co-op community as they get left in the dark too much.

Will laser sight and flashlight glare the player when pointed towards their face, in this update?

[HofVanStrudel]

Can we expect new voicelines for this update and maybe new voice actor/s? Also there are voicelines you have made but atm it isn't heard in the game. Can we expect them to be added?
