General Discussion

Well it's over and with almost 500 people in attendance our Dev Chat with the WAR dev team rocked!  In case you missed it we've posted the transcript of the event. 

MMORPG.com: Sinkael :asks: My question is this, when DAoC came out and for some time afterward, there was a feeling of realm pride that slowly faded as time went on and people started realm hopping between realms. This realm pride was one of my favorite "features" of DAoC and I want to know what you are doing to folster this, if anything at all.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: So an underpopulated realm will always have a good chance at defending and attacking in RvR due to the balancing that scenarios can offer.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: Eek. Another question!

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: Okay. My slow reading skills have now caught up.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: And, to be honest, not necessarily a bad thing in all cases.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: But one of the major ways we intend to foster that sense of pride and place and belonging is via the guild system.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: We're aiming to build into the guild experience a sense of purpose and direction that will make it worthwhile to stick with a guild long-term.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: That said, we certainly hope people try lots of things out in-game.

[WAR]EAMythic_Josh: Since... well... we love the whole thing and want people to see what we've been building. MMORPG.com: Godban :asks: how big will the groups/party/raids will be

[WAR]EAMythic_Gersh: Looks like I'm up

[WAR]EAMythic_Gersh: Groups currently at 6 people, we are supporting larger raid or "battlegroups" for RvR scenerios etc however the final size is YTB

[WAR]EAMythic_Gersh: We'll be locking that down after we get a good feel for the needs of a large scale event

Read the whole enchilada here.

Some of thoes questions you approved to be asked are so stupid and pointless.   

"Will it have Multiplayer"   i sure hope that was a joke question.

that, my  friend, was no joke....which is probably why the entire channel went nuts LOL.  Best question, and the flood of "name changes" to MULTIPLAYERHAHA, PLAYOFFLINELOL, warhammerOFFLINE.   That was classic.

if i could go backin time i would get that wasted hour back.

I have to agree that was pretty pointless and wish i could get my hour back also.  Seriously if you are going to do something like this shouldnt you have some one who knows a little something about this game, such as the fact is an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER game and weed out some of the stupid inane questions?  At least that would seem like common sense to me, but what do I know.

Maybe it was an inside joke about there Main Competition AoC. Since AoC has some offline aspects....

Could be wrong, but somtimes you gotta read between the lines and AoC is there biggest threat.

Actually, AoC isn't really offline for that first bit. You can still group, it's just that you can turn the other players off for that point.

Have some humor, guys! ;)

Ya, I know. I laughed at it when I first read it. But you can only read the same joke so many times in one day before it gets stale.

Except this:

That's funny every time I see it.

It was a joke!  Lighten up.

The dev chat was also fun.
