I fully expect the reply to cause exactly as much, if not less uproar than the initial filing did. They've already shown they think Ortwin is the god of lawyers based on their reaction to his reply. Nothing will change that.

I still want to see it, because it will be good for us.

The only thing happening tomorrow is a reply to the motion to dismiss, which honestly ought to be a single page of "hey, I don't want to tell the court how to do its business but one of our interns drafted this memo and he pointed out that the MtD is worthless garbage for basic reasons pulled from his Civ Pro textbook." A lengthy memo over trivially understood points of law would be overkill.

I think 2018 is going to be a tough year for them financially, because they've used most of their ace cards in 2017.

People were awaiting the 3.0 "Jesus" patch with, for the first time, procedural planets. Now it's out. They won't have any innovative new tech to show off for this year.

People were awaiting the new SQ42 "gameplay trailer". Now it's out. If they demo SQ42 again next year, it's just gonna be "another mission" - much less exciting.

Content to be added this year in 3.0, 3.1+ etc.. will be quite limited. If lucky we might see Arccorp and, for the first time, procedural cities. Except that they demoed it last year, so it'll have less of a "wow" effect.

In other words, I can't think of anything that they could show this year that would top last year's combo of 3.0 + procedural cities + SQ42 trailer. And they barely made as much as in 2016 using all their cards..

Battlemechs, they'll announce Battlemechs. Calling it now.

GRIMM HEX GRAVITY LOSE AT STAIRS BEFORE TRADING CONSOLE ROOM
Can reproduce = 5/10
ACTUAL RESULT = I find this happens alot if you are hugging either wall, going down the stairs, you can get a long hover down to the door happening. Running up the stairs you can sort of float up alittle and this will reduce your speed to a walk till you hit the ground again, both are in the video.
EXPECTED RESULT = Running/Walking up and down stairs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlAKQHiwUVk


AEGIS AVENGER TITAN THRUSTS TO THE RIGHT ON PLANET SURFACE DURING STARTUP
Can reproduce = 13/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Ship starts up, ship starts leaning to the right, then ship thrusts to the right. I will not regain control until the startup sequence is complete. I will recall, that on Deymar and at Levski where this has happened, I always here wind. I don't think it is related, but I do find it strange, may be it's the thrusters I am hearing, I do not know. Additionally, while this has been happening only on planetside, I do notice that at Olisar, the nose of my ship pulls itself down during the startup sequence. I think they are related but I am unsure how.
EXPECTED RESULT = Ship startup maintains ship position for normal takeoff.



BROKEN CARGO TERMINAL
Can reproduce = 11/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Go to sell one type of cargo - Successful. Then go to sell more or different cargo. Undefined Error, or RETRY error, then Screen sometimes screws up and shows "Cargo to Buy" listing under the "Cargo To Sell" section. Watch Video
EXPECTED RESULT = Cargo transactions terminal to function properly.

SHIP SPAWNS WITHOUT AND DOORS WEAPONS, IT IS UNUSABLE
Can reproduce = 86/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Ship is loaded without doors nor buttons and cannot be used
EXPECTED RESULT = Being able to use ship


CANNOT COMPLETE DELIVERY MISSIONS
Can reproduce = 132/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Cannot interact with the NPC when holding F. Can't complete the mission
EXPECTED RESULT = Expecting the regular 4 option menu from the admin NPC with a "make a delivery" option to complete the mission
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6sbiL37NEw


REC BOUGHT SHIPS AND EQUIPMENTS ARE NOT SHOWN IN ARENA COMMANDER

ACTUAL RESULT = The Equipment or Ships are not shown in Arena Commander.
EXPECTED RESULT = The Equipment and Ships should be usable in Arena Commander.


AIRLOCKS SOMETIMES NOT WORKING
Can reproduce = 31/10
ACTUAL RESULT = sometimes on of the airlocks are half open
EXPECTED RESULT = pressurised it should be closed



LOG OUT IN BED DOESN'T WORK
Can reproduce = 13/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Log out in any bed from any ship. log back in. notice your ship is wherever you logged out last but you respawn at Olisar
EXPECTED RESULT = Persistence should work


LANDING REQUEST AS CREWMEMBER IS NOT VISIBLE FOR THE PILOT
Can reproduce = 38/10
ACTUAL RESULT = If a Landing Request is issued by one of the Crewmembers, the Landing Pad gets assigned but no visual indicator shows up. Only the Pilot can make a Request where a marker appears.
EXPECTED RESULT = The visual indicator for the assigned Landing Pad should appear for the pilot regardless of the crew member who made the request.


SHIP THROTTLE NOT REFLECTING JOYSTICK THROTTLE AFTER DECOUPLING
Can reproduce = 16/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Get into any ship and take off. Throttle up to an arbitrary amount. Decouple. Set your Joystick throttle to 0. Couple. Your throttle will be set to the value representing the speed when coupling and not 0.
EXPECTED RESULT = I expect the throttle of the ship to always reflect the throttle of your Joystick (0 in this example)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9s9A7mUfNw


...


LOW FPS IN CRUSADER
Can reproduce = 1386/10
ACTUAL RESULT = Spawn in Crusader. Preferably wait for server to fill up a bit. Notice heavy FPS drain and stuttering. FPS, when the server fills up, starts to become unplayable with bouts of slideshowing.
EXPECTED RESULT = FPS in Port Olisar should be a bit more reasonable.

The problem is that the youtube lawyer has set Citizen expectations so high that if the reply is extensive and damaging there is going to be major angst as Citizens try to refactor their dreams. 3.0 is a dud, it's so bad that I can't even be bothered reading the issue tracker, so much crap there, this Crytek response should provide a lot of laughs, if it's as devastating as I expect it to be.

As someone pointed out, massive overkill might be coming anyway both because Skadden probably doesn't believe in leaving anything to chance and because why leave billable hours on the table.

A ten page memo explaining in excruciating detail why the defense are legal babbies might also have a tactical effect of getting them to the negotiating table if they have any sort of self awareness. If the response to the complaint is any guide...they still won't.
