A lot of the server infrastructure stuff is still being decided. IIRC, they are trying to balance a lot of different concerns.
If you are interested, there are a number of discussions about server types, server locations, P2P, etc. on the D:U forums:

Re: Wallpaper
There is a slang expression "торчок". It sounds like a "torch". It knows every Russian. I was glad to help you. Thank you! It is good to know. I do not know that this knowledge will change the name, but maybe if there is a Russian translation they will change the name. It is not for me to decide. Th ...

Thanks! Is the word you are discussing spelled "факел", "topч", or a different way? Thank you!sigma wrote:dunkelza, I'll tell you just a friendly. The word "Torch", if you say it in Russian, this designation hopeless drug addict. And it will be in the very negative sense.

I agree. The Torch is likely to change.Hunter wrote:I doubt the Torch is a final design though. They whipped it up pretty quick!
Remember, there will also be other noses and tails and wings available later on.

Re: Descent Underground - Kickstarter goal reached!
AFAIK, the Torch can be earned in-game, but the Torch KS (that's a different skinned version) must be bought. My understanding is that the Torch-KS will be given free to every backer who backs BEFORE the $650k target is reached. I'm not sure if the Torch (not KS) will be an unlock or how it will be ...

Re: The Clock Is Ticking...
If the developers are fans of the Descent, in any case they will make a good game. And they can make a good game. The question is, what if they make a bad game just because it was not collected enough money, they are not descenters. In this case, they're not romance, and the ordinary managers. If ...

Re: Questions about Descent: Underground?
Funding is almost to $430,000 now!
That's a faster pace than yesterday and yesterday was way faster than the day before.
Also, they've redone some of the information on the KS page to make it clearer:

Re: Questions about Descent: Underground?
The one caveat I personally hold about this viewpoint is that it can potentially devolve into a situation where the design team becomes so swayed back-and-forth by public opinion that they lose sight of their original vision for the project. Design-by-committee has a lot of inherent risks involved ...

I have played some games recently, but not many. The Kickstarter demands a lot of attention from many people.
I am a bad pilot, though, so I am not a challenge.
