Q&A Round IX

[helbreat]

its like a company showing you a picture of a new pc they are planing to release but not telling you the specs...... i mean its just a tower a keyboard/mouse with a screen

just as the dev screenshots are just pics we know the game has a great graphics engine we can se that everyday in game its information we want

the first pic the stormtrooper wannabe could have been anything, karavan npc, players with new armour and guns or even invading aliens see what i mean? ;P

the 2nd pic for all we know could be gibakin after a day at the hairdressers

If it was invading aliens, for example, are you implying they should tell us that now?? Wouldn't it be more appropriate if they just started landing on Atys one day and we had to suddenly fight them back?

Or would you rather know two months in advance that an unknown alien race is coming, even though there's no IG way to be aware of it?

Will we be getting raids back?

Concerning the encylopedia...

The was it was originally described is that the various tribes would each have specialities. So the Icon Worshippers might specialize in the crafting using Yubo parts. What would happen is a player would have to get on the good side of the Icon Worshippers (good fame level). There would be a rite giver in the tribe that would assign a rite relating to the Yubo. Upon finishing the rite, the player would have the Yubo entry in the encylopedia and be taught the skill of the tribe (so you would earn the yubo part crafting skill). Upon completion of the animal album you would get awarded a new title, zoologist for example. You then would get some sort of new skill based upon your knowledge of animals. That would lead to content.

I don't see this happening. So far the people giving the rites as well as the award have nothing to do with the entry. What happened? Will it ever function as originally described?

Will there be a significant content patch or many before outposts hit live servers?

*hugs Diggin* Get some of that down ya (or something )

Question for devs (or anyone else who knows for sure): will outposts have merchants for us to use as a guild shop to sell our items in or a bit of storgage for us to deposit stuff in to like an extra GH worth of storage? as they have to have some use to us as a guild for us to want one, other than something to fight over

To someone out there!

No doubt you have read this thread which highlights some very big problems associated with this games marketing and over all "pulling power" when it comes to attracting new players.

Are you able to give us any idea on your future marketing ideas?

Also... Why is it we (well just me really but i presume this goes for most of us) have only seen the trailer that got us all so excited on this website?

I have seen flash animations on the hotmail inbox page in the past showing what other MMORPG's have to offer. Anything like this coming up?

The soloing subject is quite popular at the mo.

In one of the dev chats a while back (a long long time ago ) there was talk of special materials that could be harvested to regenate your stats. I am not sure if I just dreamed it or not but there was talk of having 'Reg stats' as adds to equipment (like the current HP/STAM/SAP/FOCUS but to effect the regen rate).

The players would have the choice of High stats & Low regen, Low stats & High regen or a blance of the the two.

Has this been parked or is it still being planned?
