IO is really just in it to make us all believe in ourselves and reach our full potential.

You’re just going to grind through the 5 prestige levels, get a few trophies that only you will ever see, then eventually you will still end up with a safehouse fully stocked with weapons and several million merces and no way to spend it.

They just need to come up with a better way to extend the gameplay and money system other than ripping off all your stuff.

Hmm. I’m mastery 61 and I have yet to fill the wall and or briefcases cuz I don’t altF4. I just play for fun. I don’t mind dying. It’s just another way to build back up. So I’m wondering if I’ll ever prestige level up. lol

Considering the other complaints I’ve seen on here pertaining to Hardcore mode, that opinion is very much in the minority.

Personally my stance is that the prestige system is a fine enough system, but a bit strange to add now. Feels like a stopgap solution, rather than a true fix of the Merces’ economy.

So, did anyone find coin in rotation already? Did they add it?

Maybe they should’ve reset EVERYTHING including Mastery, Safe House unlocks, and deducted XP score because there’s no real way to know how who or how many might’ve benefited from Alt-F4 either deliberately or accidentally so a cold hard restart is better now that the Alt-F4 exploit has been removed with extreme prejudice.

It’s unfortunate they can’t simply identify only those who used Alt-F4 and reset only them.

Or how about, get rid of that method and just allow a normal mission restart so long as an objective isn’t completed yet like ETs. The strictness of Freelancer’s one-and-done design combined with all the objectives for proper completion sap all the fun from it.

Damn, 5 new challenges from prestige.
For 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 prestige level.

They could’ve at least made it so the Bruiser Suit wouldn’t unlock retroactively so anyone that beat Hardcore would have to redo it this time without the possibility of Alt-F4.

This has probably been discovered before I have, but disconnecting your internet and then alt-f4 works as a workaround to the fix. This was done through an alerted territory. All items/gear and progress hasn’t been lost insofar.

Alt-f4Bros, we are so fucking back. May your vaunted progress be forever kino.

Another annoying step to take, but necessary.

With them adding non-AltF4 protection I wonder what happens if the game actually crashes.
This will be developers’ fault, not the players’ and still the latter will be punished.

A few look around in the safehouse :

The target shooting now have the picture in picture when shot. Before it appeared only when the support was shot.
I wonder if it’s related to the still elusive shooting range easter egg.

But

I don’t know if it’s the case for everyone, but for me the weapons lost the unlimited capacity in the shooting range. They have the standard amount of ammo (of 35 for the siverballer). @Travis_IOI this might be unintentional, and worth a look.

Haven’t gone in mission yet, but no sign of the coin yet (and I had the supply crate to open, it was empty)

Good one, but won’t work for me as I’m playing remotely :slight_smile:

Alternate Function Four

When playing Freelancer, quitting the game through the menu or by the use of Alt+F4 on keyboard will result in a Mission Failed status upon restarting the game.

New Update rips the good ol Alt + F4
