Twitch - Q&A - 4/5 But not how your thinking
Every time I watch the Twitch Q&A I feel let down. For every 1 good question they answer, there will be 4 or 5 crappy questions they go on about.
Example of a crappy question "Can you eat pies?"

Whoever is choosing the questions from the forums should dedicate themselves to doing something else. They always leave the best questions unanswered.
Even though it's still in Pre-Alpha ... it honestly does feel like it's already in Alpha Stage.
Hence: its why they aren't saying anything yet, because the " Word-of-Mouth " from PAX might clarify most thoughts on Combat, Immersion, Progression, and other things too
With development only a year or so in and two or more years left in development before launching suggests that there is a considerable amount of detail that is still at schematic stage and not implemented.
To get the most reward from the twitch sessions might be to consider questions more aligned to the level of development they are at now and in the near future.
The wealth of micro questions, whilst important, are likely to come together in the later stages of development. They may be able to answer with general intent for these micro details, but they also need to resolve the bigger / broader design concepts first.
Ask questions more in line with what they are working on at present and near future and perhaps the answers might be more articulate.
So a good question might be, what ARE you working on now and the next few months..with that answer, perhaps there might be a framework for more pertinent questions.
Just a Sunday musing!
Aside from the answers where it is stated that we are swinging between two possibilities.
They always add new information of demos.
That enough for me, although I wish that they would lock down more details.
Any other games communication and progress is glacial or non existent.
So Intrepid is not perfect, but it is ok.
Priority 1 is they show progress.
Priority 2 is they acknowledge the community.
Priority 3 is they engage with the community.
Priority 4 is they answer the community.
Priority 5 is they give a solid answer for every single question everyone can think of.
So yeah, they will ask questions which have been answered and people will flip a shit because they didn't look up for it.
And some others will ask about if Sandals will be an ultimate item transcending the "legendary" grade and break the balance of the game. Since we all know it will exist and be worn by some devs' character, why ask?
