Welcome to the Q&A thread. In this thread you should post the questions you wish to be addressed by the devs, and the chosen 15 will be sent bi-weekly to the development team. The answers will appear in the following thread when the questions are answered (please check here before asking your questions, they might be answered already): http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/q-a-answers-compilation-thread.32349/ Now a few guidelines to the thread: 1)This is not an arguing thread, so if you have something between you to discuss on the matter of a question please do so in a PM or a designated thread about the said topic. The posts that should be posted in here are questions you want the developers to answer and the “sourcing posts” (explained below). 2)Any questions about the system should be directed to me through a PM, I will not be cluttering the thread itself with discussions about the system, I hope you wont either. Disclaimer: Some questions might not get an answer even if in the 15 chosen, due to the devs not even starting development on the subject in the particular question or cannot talk about it at this time. In consultation with Katie, it has been decided that 1 of the 15 questions is relegated to the Q&A team. Based on current events (hot topics people didnt ask in the thread, other very important subjects) it might be raised to 2 from time to time. Be the helper of the 41st millennium: This is what I meant above with the “sourcing posts”. Basically as a community we can answer allot of things and direct the people to the said sources of answers. So outside posting questions, if you know the answer to someone elses question, feel free to answer it. However please do so by also linking a source to the information (a post, interview, livestream etc). Im sure you would like people who tell you similar things to do the same. The Q&A team will be doing this as well ofc, but we can miss some of them that already have answers, so it would be very helpful. By doing this you are helping eliminate the questions already answered and the other ones have a better chance of being in the chosen 15 (cause they have less competition). Thank you for reading, and lets get started!
Question 1: Is it really true that "there will only ever be two sides in a match"? Question 2: Is it still true that if I purchase a unique Elite or Hero from the Rogue Trader Store, that I will need to unlock their "free" equivalents in the game first before I can actually use them? Question 3: Most of the Rogue Trader Store items have an extra quote stating that they can be upgraded. Is this actually true? Or are they in fact unchangeable/non-upgradeable/unmodifiable?
even when the game is no more match based and after the game is more open world? and when is supposed to switch from a 2 side +allies to a multiple side battle? i hope that the answer is not ambiguous.
Will there be a way to represent your guild in-game such as markers or custom accessories? Will guilds have any type of progression system? Shouldn't guilds be approved as per certain requirements such as the initial quantity of participants, website and name (and any images) through a system that prevents a thousand "willy-nilly" guilds being formed?... not to mention rude, crude and inappropriate themes.
The RTS items have their statistics possible to be achieved by in-game methods. Will purely cosmetic items such as the Champion's Shoulder Pad for LSM have an in-game equivalent to be earned? Will modifications to weapons and other stats to our character have accurate descriptions with data not just wording? For example in other games a laser sight is said to "increase hip fire accuracy". That's it. No numbers like "hip fire accuracy is increased by 20%" Numbers are good. Embrace the numbers. (Just be careful around 7. I heard it ate 9.) How would psyker debuffs impact TEQs (Terminator Equivalents)? If a TEQ is immune to suppression but then they're hit by a power which suppresses targets, would the TEQ be suppressed or still suffer from the power just in a different way?
I asked these three questions as a single question in Q&A # 11 and got a brilliant answer, tried to ask the question again in #18 after things got changed and didn't really get through. I think it's time they get updated: How is the faction's identity going to be represented in the way they hold territory or seek objectives? See QA&11 for an example. About when will we see these identities manifest over the course of development? Will each identity affect the greater strategy of how faction's fight each other? Example: SM's want to keep control over a small territory rather than try to control the whole map, so they pick their battles over important objectives. The other factions will therefore try to utilize this trait by attempting to spread their territory control out, allow them to win meager victories, and then rob them of their important objectives. When territories switch hands, will there be a visual effect on the map like that of an RTS, where the victor's adjacent territory "bleeds" into the conflicted territory and makes it part of the faction's empire? New Question Q: Will assault oriented classes get a leap or charge ability if they do not have a jump pack? Q: Who on the Xenos factions can Wall Jump? Q: Can anyone do an AoE attack in a moderate range around them? Like that of a Warlock from DoW2, or a Furious Stomp from a devastator in SM? Q: Will there be voice mod DLC for class specific voices like Wraithgaurd, Sorcerers, Weirdboyz, ect? Can they be used as a permanent voice while in game regardless of what class or possibly faction you're using?
1) Which of these are planned to be at launch? Plasma gun/pistol, meltagun, grav gun/pistol. 2) When are flamers intended to be developed? 3) How is the development of Eldar and Orks going? Will we see pretty models soon?=3 4) Which vehicles are planned for launch? Will there be enough space to drive them around in the current maps?
Q: Once a team successfully attacks or defends a outpost can that outpost be attacked again in a attempt to capture or recapture it? Or will a cool down timer be in place locking out that outpost? Q: A lot of chapters have special units within them like the Ravenwing, Deathwing, and Death Company. Will we be able to access the color schemes for these units? Will we have to purchase them in RTS, ,unlock them in game or both. Q: Will we be able to select different loadouts for predator tanks and rhinos?Can the Blood Angels have the Baal Predator and will we be able to turn a rhino into a Razorback sacrificing some transport ability for more firepower?
Sorry if this was already answered, but what is the time line on the other factions, I'm a huge Tau player, and my class favort for space marine of TechPriest isn't on the launch list, how long do I have to wait to get some Tau XV8 action?
