Unofficial chatting with Tiy, and later Rho, about combat and some other stuff, for anyone who's interested and wasn't in the room at the time http://pastebin.com/sffzaeLt
Well, they seem to usually be spur-of-the-moment - I don't even think Tiy knows when he's going to do one. So when we find out, it wouldn't really help you if you aren't around. Though, there was a bit of discussion about making them forum-based so that people can leave questions for Tiy and he'll answer them at a later date. Mar 10 14:45:41 <XZolon>Tiy, you really need to set up a Q&A queue based system channel. Mar 10 14:45:58 <XetaCorp>Going AFK, Be back later (he needs a FormSpring account) Mar 10 14:45:59 <@Tiy>we did that once XZolon Mar 10 14:46:02 <@Tiy>but the questions never end Mar 10 14:46:05 <@Tiy>and then i feel really bad Mar 10 14:46:06 <XZolon>Yep Mar 10 14:46:10 <@Tiy>if i leave without answering them all Mar 10 14:46:19 <NaturallyMade>Tiy just mute us, we;re hard skinned, we can take it. lol Mar 10 14:46:21 <XZolon>Mhm.. gotta pick and choose. Mar 10 14:46:24 <EGadd>Heh, I'm happy with the way info is being released now Mar 10 14:46:27 <EGadd>Don't sweat it Tiy Mar 10 14:46:29 <JermEx>I'm probing my brain for non-derp questions Mar 10 14:462 <JohnDevince>Tiy, we all know you're busy, and can't answer all the wuestions, we won't hold that against you Mar 10 14:46:56 <JermEx>Yeah I say mute the chan, and send the questions to WelshPixie Mar 10 14:46:58 <XZolon>The other way you can do it, Tiy, is prime up a Q&A session on the forums, have people ask some questions, then release the answers from the questions as a friday update. Save the leftover questions that you like and answer them the next week. Mar 10 14:47:13 <XZolon>That way you'll be able to move through the questions, and save some of the questions that will be better answered later. Mar 10 14:47:19 <LadyAijou>That's a good idea, Zolon, I like that Mar 10 14:47:22 <JermEx>XZolon, that is a good idea Mar 10 14:47:24 <XZolon>Then you can do chats like this for clarification. Mar 10 14:47:48 <@Tiy>maybe I will Mar 10 14:47:50 <@Tiy>sounds like a good idea Mar 10 14:47:53 <XZolon>That way, when people ask things like "How are bosses going to work?" Instead of answering, save it for 2 weeks down the line and do a whole boss feature. Mar 10 14:48:04 <XZolon>Then everyone feels appreciated. Mar 10 14:48:23 <Ordona>Something along the lines of "Questions" and "Answers" threads (seperate with answers being only Tiy-postable) could work, yeah. Mar 10 14:48:51 <@WelshPixie>The other good thing with a forum-based Q&A is that the mods can scour the questions, cut out those that have already been answered, etc Mar 10 14:48:57 <XZolon>Just make the topic heavily mod-watched to sort out extra spam and discussion. Make the -- yeah.
Guild Wars is an awesome game, I'm glad to see Tiy is taking some ideas from it. I also I like the idea that most planets are disposable. It means I can go all crazy and blow up a planet and not care because I have a hundred more!
I'm glad they find durability and hunger systems disgusting. Systems like that just make you babysit your character.
