Brent: The key is community and a sense of meaning to your actions. We`re designing everything in the game to reinforce a sense of engagement with your faction and the people in it, and the outcome of each campaign will have a lasting impact.
Brent: So we have individual progression and social progression. Your individual character may advance through tabletop ranks, but if you want to become a true leader then you`ll have to convince other people that you`re worthy of the role.
David: You`re fighting a war and the goal is that you feel involved in this war and the outcome of it.
Brent: Swooping Hawks will certainly swoop!
David: We`re planning on one jump/jet unit per faction.
So, Patrick's Job is to hit you with a Chainsword?
Will Dreadnaughts be implementet like normal tanks (like a predator) or do we have to think more on basic of the lore?
I mean, will I have to die for mounting one?
It's been said that the game will probably not have shards and will run on a single server, that allows around 1K players at once.
Can you explain a little, how will the game run on one server for 1K+ players, when obviously the number of players will far exceed 1K? What happens to the players beyond 1K? Do they stand in a queue to get in the game?
And thank you for what you do to Warhammer 40K community! You are the best!
On behalf of the Eldar community, please make this (probably the most minor) faction true to their lore and potential as much as you can. Will you do that for us?=)
David: We're talking to a talented composer here in Montreal, who convinced us with some very nice samples. Once we finalize things, we'll be able to reveal more!
Patrick: HELL yeah!
David: It's important for developers to play their own game, but we don't want to play favorites. We'll let the community lead itself.
David: There's more coming soon! Lots more... but no sneak peeks.
Patrick: We're working as hard as we can to make this possible.
David: We're letting the community vote for a final chapter, so this may be in your hands!
Brent: I'm writing this down in my notes!
Brent: Not at launch, but maybe after!
Steven: We want this! But we have to test to make sure we can support hundreds (or thousands!) of players in a single battle... plus tyranids.
Miguel: GameOn Audio provided us these. We thought they did a great job!
Okay, what did you want to ask?
Brent: At launch, Eldar is the only option for players who want to play a female character. After launch, we'll be expanding the available races.
David: Tyranids are mindless troops slaved to the will of the hive mind. It could be great for a strategy game, but we felt that in a third person Massive Combat RPG they were too perfect as an NPC threat.
Brent: Thanks dude!
David: We will have an open beta, probably at the end of 2015.
Brent: Yep! These sorts of things will be either accessories or properties of a class.
Steven: We've announced four biomes: Jungles, Deserts, Arctic, and Temperate.
Miguel: Soon! Within the next month.
Steven: Hi Marshal, nice to see you here! We're working on some footage to show you, but we're currently pre-alpha; in fact, alpha isn't planned for this year.
Miguel: This will probably come within the next month.
Greetings, Behaviour!
- Population unbalance is the major problem in MMOs (like Planetside, but that the game rules "Size Always Matter"), how did you gonna "try" balance it? For example XP/resources bonus where X faction is underpopulated, or something else?
- About vehicles, did the driver can control weapons (I think on some vehicles he can, but mainly)? Or it work like Driver and gunners?
- I already ask this question and Patrick have already answer it, but I really care about it, I really suggest you to not put anything that could make a K/D in-game. Because this simple statistic change how people gonna play, for example; when it's time to zerg-graveyard, the average people will think "Oh my dear K/D, I will not kill you for winning this battle, I stay safe for sniping". And in Warhammer, everybody want blood and skulls, not coward campers!
- Aircrafts, like bombers or interceptors? At release or after?
- I already ask it on Reddit too, but Patrick said David can answer this; did we will have special equipment or implants to change the gameplay? Something like night vision googles/thermal vision?
Merci à vous!
Brent: YES! Maledictions, Benedictions, Witchfire, the works!
David: We mentioned this in a few other places. They'll be a gathering space and a place for you to show off and share your achievements.
Brent: Ease of communication and oversight is the key here. Look at games like Planetside 2 and Battlefield for some of our sources of inspiration.
I know its late, but I had to create an mmorpg.com account.
Will there be Hive Worlds?
CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY ETERNAL CRUSADE!!!
David: Potentially, especially for under-represented models like some flyers. If it's properly canonical in the 40k universe, then there's no problem.
Brent: Centurions specifically won't be in the game for launch. We're prioritizing the most iconic units first.
David: NEVER CENTURIONS
Steven: (David ran a 3-heldrake cheese army and lost with it twice in a row, the second time because of Centurions.)
Miguel: What??? I lost my spot???
Steven: Aww shucks.
Will there be a hunter like class which has pets that do the fighting for him?
Am thinking a Commissar with some stormtroopers or an Inquisitor and his servitors.
Also, you talk about one big server that houses all players. Will we be able to have different characters from different factions and how will you handle players logging in just to get info?
Thanks!
