Questions (paraphrased)
-
Will we get hidden doors, etc in the player dungeons?
-
Yes, that is in the plan
-
-
Will we get more combos?
-
Yes
-
-
Will the player dungeons deco not working on all walls be fixed?
-
Yes
-
But it’s going to take time
-
-
Can we get doors to rooms in player dungeons?
-
Maybe
-
Needs some more tech
-
-
When will glyphs stay locked to the bar?
-
What???? That’s still not fixed?
-
-
Will the AI for creatures be modified require the players approach fighting them differently depending on levels?
-
There have been many improvements and additions already
-
Need to go back and update the older creature
-
-
Will there be support for multiple monitors?
-
Maybe
-
Lots of technical issues to overcome to get it working well enough
-
-
Will there be a repository (GitHub) for the community developers?
-
Probably not
-
But, the community is free to set one up
-
-
Can we get some large experience buff on QA so we can test more?
-
It’s tough because it needs to be as much lot production as possible
-
Chris will look at increasing the QA login bonuses
-
-
When will we get full loot PVP?
-
How about we split the server and you go live on the other server???? 🙂
-
Seriously though, there’s too much risk of it causing people to quit
-
-
When will guild wars/faction actually be real and fun?
-
It’s in the plan
-
But, not soon
-
-
Will we see some PVP gear?
-
It’s planned
