Questions and Answers: Q: [24:50] Will each faction have a different looking stronghold? A: They will differ, but the locations are built by the Imperium. Q: [27:15] Is there any deadline for the attacker to capture strongholds? A: The attackers will have a time while the defenders have a lives. We are looking into having a "repair event" for the strongholds. VQ: [32:12] What UI functions will be available in game for me to issue orders to my squad? A: Communication is key, so we will have things like "auto-barks", voice chat, and basic or leader commands/answers. VQ: [36:08] How will the Chaos Sorcerer be competitive? How will the debuff priorities work? A: The strength of the Sorcerer relies on our buff system. Buffs/debuffs are a tactical application.

Q: [49:35] How would a Sorcerer do in a 1v1 fight? A: A Sorcerer vs a Tactical in an empty battle, the Sorcerer will probably lose. Support classes exist to make the other classes better.

[58:58] Random giveaway winner. Questions and Answers: Q: [20:36] How do you coordinate who controls an outpost? A: We are still working on it, but the plans is that certain territories will start in control of some factions and others in control of Tyranids. Q: [21:45] What can we expect from the void shield? A: It started as anti-vehicle, but it will stop fire from coming in. Q: [23:13] Will Strongholds of Outposts have NPC guards? A: No. Maybe turrets. Q: [23:55] Can you attack a Stronghold from any side you want or will there be paths? A: We want you to be able to approach from an unexpected angle, but there will also be paths. Q: [25:40] How easy is it to redeploy to a base, to defend it? A: Our current mechanics are influences by the greater conquering of territory. To be determined. VQ: [27:33] How would you play this game if you were playing PvE (quests/dungeons)? Are there any thoughts on relic systems? Will you be adding capes with physics? Will there be customizable location to invite your group to? A: There is not a lot you can do alone, but PvE does support 5~10 man groups. We are not focusing on PvE quests, but there will be objectives for the whole faction. We do have a weapon-mod system where you can tweak weapons. We are working on capes. There will be something like Chapter-ships where they can hang out, but we are not working on that yet. Q: [38:17] Will Strongholds or Outposts feature objectives and what will the defenders gain by keeping them? A: You can't take a Stronghold without taking several Outposts because you need to cut the supply of resources. Q: [40:10] Just how effective will Howling Banshees be at negating ranged damage? A: They rely on speed, so they will have some form of advantage while charging. Q: [42:39] How hard is it to recreate the team-experience on an Eldar Grav-tank? A: We will balance it. Q: [46:58] Will each base around the world have a unique layout? A: Yes. Strongholds to have a template however. Q: [48:14] Will we be able to use Rogue trader store weapons during founders access? A: As they become available, you will be able to use them. Q: [50:14] How will Melta weapons work? A: Not shotgun-like. We want them to respect the IP, but not the most efficient choice against infantry targets. Q: [52:22] Can you share more details on vertical balance of Eldar vs other races? A: We can't say how we will balance things just yet, etc... Q: [53:44] What other defenses will bases have? A: Possibly mine fields. Areas will be set up in a way that defenders can use. Q: [56:37] Can you confirm that male/female options will be available for all Eldar classes? A: Yes, it will be the only race that can.

Questions and Answers: Q: [4:51] How will you deal with night-capping? A: It's too early to worry about this, but we have a few tricks up our sleeves. Q: [24:59] How do you counter the bash? A: The bash is going to be slower so you will be able to get out of the way. Q: [26:40] Which melee weapons will support classes have access to? A: Apothecary can have Rifle/Knife and Sorcerer can only use Pistol/Knife. Q: [28:15] What other in-game mechanics will there be to help the small factions?

A: What you choose to use will be visible. Q: [32:24] Will there b an in-game feature to allow cross-faction alliances? A: We are exploring this possibility, but we will have to see. Q: [34:25] Can you do the guard-stance without using lock-on? A: We plan on allowing you to map it separately if you want to. Q: [36:07] How much does the melee system resemble the DarkSouls games and how much has it gone beyond that? A: We want to be unique, but there are not a lot of options. Out goal is to make it fast because this is a shooter game. Q: [41:28] As an Apothecary, why use the Chainsword when the Narthecium is a better choice? A: Different types of melee weapons do different types of damage and use different types of force. A chainsword has more force and can block better.

Q: [44:30] What kind of move sets will we have for melee weapons? A: What varies is the force of the attack and the area that you swing in. Q: [46:15] Will we be able to review weapons and compare them? A: We will look at what is necessary to put on the screen. As we move forward, we will work with the community to see what they want. Q: [50:04] When will the Xenos be added? A: When they have a full compliment of classes, weapons, and vehicles compared to what the Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines have. Q: [52:06] Will we be able to repair vehicles without Techmarines? A: Yes. Q: [53:44] What new updates to we have on the guild systems? A: We are simplifying it so there is just one big strike-force instead of multiple squads.

AQ: [48:12] Will EC have collision detection? How will you handle in-game zergs? A: We will have collision detection, for sure. We will have multiple locations and multiple goals, so sending everybody into one location will not be the best option. Q: [51:17] Are Tyranids and dungeons still guaranteed for launch? A: Yes, but there is nothing worth showing yet. Q: [52:40] Will there be custom death animations for places like the electric pit? A: Very soon you will be able to fall into "the pit" and die and we will have something for it later. Q: [54:44] Will we be able to stream the game in beta? A: Yes, as much as you like.

Q: [57:36] Will we be able to scroll the camera back? A: We will be working on it to get it to where it is comfortable, but it depends on the weapon loadout. Q: [58:48] Are the weapon sounds finalized? A: Nothing is final. Q: [59:06] Are bikes still being worked on? A: They might be part of the open-beta, but they will be the first thing we work on after launch at the latest. Q: [1:00:27] Will Space Marines be able to join the Deathwatch?
