Thanks for the heads up bud!!

Perhaps some good questions can be prepared in advanced - devs that put their head on the block willingly and don't flinch from answering the questions honestly is a good litmus test for any mmo!

The sort of answers where: "I love my fans" & "we'll make all your dreams come true and say yes to everything without offering a personal opinion", is by contrast complete garbage.

I'm curious to see how/if they take on the tough questions...

No problem mate, there is probably more but I got the vital stuff

Savij

i found something strange:

3.What tools for specialization will players have? Talents? Classes? How manyactive ability slots will we have? Will there be a choice of character traits that arenot bound to a certain class/talent tree?

3.
You'll be able to play as different classes with different specializations,and different equipment loadouts! You won't have "active ability slots," sincewe're not like a classic MMORPG- we're a third person shooter, so imaginesomething like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Planetside, or Borderlands
 

no abilityslots?

how shall psykerpower work then? :O will you pick it like weapon? or is there an extrabutton for psykerpowers?

im confused

maybe using the scroll wheel on ur mouse to change to a different spell?

sounds possible but would be much userfriendlier if you can put some spells on a button then scrolling through some list

but since they want to get that game on consoles too it might be abit difficult to have lots of different buttons

patrickbalthazar

We are not planning to make a WoW-like game with a hotbar and tons of buttons and skills. Expect more something in the line of Space Marine, where a few extra buttons will be used to use some skills.

Razephon

Personally I was thinking something along the following lines:

- Base ability

Ability Meter fills up

- Ultra ability

This would be applicable for all races ofc.

So something liek:

Space Marine Psyker - Electric Bolts - Electric AoE

Chaos Space Marine - Dark Warm Matter - Summon Daemon/Daemon Transform

Weirdboy - Weird Blast - Some big Waagh ability

Eldar - Probably similar to Space Marin
