Answers To Questions From The Boards - 2005-11-25

After having spent painful hours before my screen to write, rewrite and overwrite it, my very first Q&A is finally out! Phew! This time you will find miscellaneous questions such as alliances in the outposts system, non activated teleports, the sitting position, healing in the current PvP system, auras timers, equipment in PvP, common craft plans, and details about the stanza "aim at".

Questions about the background weren't included on purpose, as they will be answered on the roleplay website Atys Chronicles.

[rushin]

thought it answered quite a lot actually... but would agree we have a lot of unanswered questions kicking around now

[edit]
this:FvF is going worldwide. Will this impact on trading and merchants? [Submitted by micrix (EN)]Not in the current version of the upcoming FvF. Currently, the merchants trade with people according to their civilization fame, not the Kami/Karavan faction fame.

didn't clarify the important thing - do trainers work the same way - ie based on civ fame? i'm assuming they do but it would make lots of ppl sleep easier if we had it in black and white

Question regarding the teleport poles..

The Kami TP pole in Gates of Obscurity is still missing.

Is this intentional?

There was a ton of simple questions in there which -should- take 2 seconds to answer.

What's the purpose of the "Aim xxx yyy" stanzas? [Submitted by xenofur (DE)]

Instead of randomly hitting body parts when fighting, if you use this stanza you will hit at the same specific part every time.

not every time. there is some 10% chance that you "miss" and hit other body parts.
hardly noticeable, just like critical shot (only got mob stunned once, used head aim)

The interesting thing about this stanza is that it allows you to “choose” what will be the critical hit (when it occurs). The success rate to give a critical hit doesn’t change with the stanza; it remains at 5%.

critical hit does not exist. period.
real purpose to use aim stanza is to hit different body parts on mobs where mob has less armor.
critical hit does not exist

just a in-game view

Agreed. Then there's the questions about upcoming Outposts and global FvF, the vast majority of which were ignored. How about answering them?

While I am grateful that Marjo has taken the time to answer a FEW of the questions, I find the selectiveness of the answers very frustrating. Seems to have picked out the non-controversial ones to answer. How about answering all the burning questions?

Only conclusion I can draw from the complete lack of answers to the Chapter 3 questions is they either daren't answer them because they've already upset quite a few people with EP2 (and doon't want more to leave just yet) or they haven't finished writing it yet. If Outposts and Chapter 3 are going live soon, surely they know the answers to the majority of questions? Yet we still get no answers to them.
