Spring Roadmap 2023 Thread

[LocoGamingRocker]

Include me in the 4 people who want a new Sniper Assassin map.

[BluntsNBeatz]

I would rather have a new ‘Patient Zero: The Vector’ style sniping mission. It felt better than Sniper Assassin to me.

[Diana47]

While we’re here, what I’d really love is a Patient Zero 2!

[sleepey]

Patient… ONE???

character 20

[Arthur_Dohler]

Someone tag IOI in this. We need more Sniper Assassin maps. I’ll gladly pay for it!

[thrison]

More sniper maps aren’t going to happen. Generally speaking, Sniper Assassin isn’t something that the masses played a lot of - which is why we never got more than the three. If that wasn’t the case, we would’ve got something new for it by now (the last map arrived in 2019).

I never read it.

Because you never saw the extra info on ioi’s website, or because ioi’s website is clunky and you stopped using it after the redesign?

I’m the latter.

[BlobSponge]

I don’t know what to think about this roadmap…

I’m glad that IOI plans contents for Hitman Year 3… Being surprised by the future release of new map for contract mode. Never guess this would happen!
Return of FC would be a way to take a break from Freelancer (Since Freelancer release, I didn’t play something else - beside last ET missions).

But nothing new for Freelancer… I do hope that future patch (planned in May) introduce new elements for this mode (like new syndicates). Also, I do hope that future unlocks comprise Freelancer’s tools, making them available for normal mode.

Finally, the new suit looks nice… but blocked behind hardcore mode… Sounds like I don’t have the choice

But nothing new for Freelancer…

Keep in mind that, especially in regards to Freelancer, IOI has gone against what they’ve set down in their roadmaps before. They might be ready to update the mode with new content in, say, October that they weren’t prepared for at the time this reveal of the planned year was given, and decide to throw it in regardless. The year might be planned, but IOI changing their plans is almost a given. We could be pleasantly surprised yet.

@Diana47

I know that I’m probably one of three, maybe four people who’d love new sniper maps, but damn how much I’d love new sniper maps!

Add me to your mix of 4 people as well!

Well we don’t know what the challenge unlocks are yet that are coming each month?

The roadmap below gives hope……….

It could be that some of the challenge unlocks are indeed related to Freelancer, very much like the challenge unlock for the new bloodied suit, which unfortunately is hidden behind Hardcore Mode

In regards to Freelancer tools being used in the normal campaign, I’m still hoping we get some of the normal campaign tools & weapons available in Freelancer, such as the Trinity weapons (pre-order players) & the Ducky Hackl Sniper Rifle for example! still don’t know why IOI added the Ducky pistol to Freelancer but not the Sniper Rifle?

I’d say it’s likely that there will at least be enough new challenges added to freelancer so that all the display shelves are filled. At least, I hope so for the sake of my OCD

[Tom-Kannaduki]

I believe the current search function in contract mode makes it very difficult to search for a specific contract from the large number of contracts available.

If there are still plans to update the contract mode,
I would like the ability to search by contract creator name.

Then I would like to see the creation date and time added to the contract name details.
I know the creation date/time of a contract is recorded as internal data (I saw it displayed on the NY stage when I didn’t have the 2ExpansionDLC).

Moreover, it would be great if you could add a search function that would allow sorting by creat date and time.

[Melusca]

Yeah it’s absolutely insane we’re allowed to search by ID (which nobody can remember) but not by creator name (which would be a great way to browse good creators’ contracts)

Yeah fingers crossed. I guess the next few months we’ll find out our answer

[Konzti]

Quick question: What’s the deal with the free location rotation? I thought everybody who owned a copy of H3 was upgraded to the entire WoA trilogy.

[ZeroGravitas]

The location rotation is for people who don’t own H3/WoA and have the Free Starter Pack.

[Franz]

@Konzti

Whoa, I didn’t know that. Those people got a very sweet deal!

[Clemens_IOI]

@Axwage

Of course that is the one ET where if you’ve faced him before, you may NOT know exactly how to deal with him, as his spawn is randomized.

Classic IOI needing better proofreaders, amirite?

You’re not right You could argue that knowing this element will give an advatege, and if you faced him before - you’ll not be as surpeiced and know how to hanlde the situation.

[Franz]

Restart when he spawns in the fishing village!

[lukefsje]

Why? You can still use the strategy of turning off the satellite to get rid of his guards then poison his wine when him and the cameraman are distracted regardless of which spawn he has
