    Are there any plans to add innovative features to the tab target side of the MMORPG combat so it becomes more skill based (similar to GW2) ?

    Will the new acobatic leap in APOC BR be in MMORPG and/or Castle Siege?

    Will events be a one time thing or will they respawn after a period of time? Wondering for people who may miss the event and thus miss out of the loot/experience.

    Do you have plans for low level Raids, IE level 10 or 20? I personally think if the player base familiarized themselves with raids, when they have less abilities and mechanics to contend with, Intrepid Studios would be allowed to really push the envelope with their raids in the late game.

    Q: what variety of mage skills can we expect other than elemental ones from Archwizards?

    also on a side note :
    will you consider passive random encounters that i made a thread about? (not world bosses, unique passive creatures)

    Music is a big part of a game and I feel like people often don't pay enough attention to it.
    Do you have a composer in your team and if so, is it possible to have him in a livestream and hear some of his work?

    And another question would be, does he have a favorite game/ composer where he gets some inspiration from?

    Will Metropolises be able to ally and declare war on another alliance of metropolises effectively causing a "World War" ?

    Will ships have wind mechanics and/or manual control of sails or will they handle more like cars on water?
  • HjerimHjerim Member, Leader of Men, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    What type of camera perspective can we expect to see in the MMO?

    Apocalypse is for example third-person over the shoulder. Many MMO's are seen from directly behind the character.

    Okay, I just want to make shure:
    Will we be able to wield a spear in one hand together with a shield?
    Another:
    Can you show us at least some information about the Tulnar?

    Should we choose to forgo the ranged weapon slot in the MMORPG, will we be able to spec further into our melee weapon(s) than someone who did not forgo the ranged weapon slot?

    such an obvious question from an agent of chaos XD
  • Saturn AuroraSaturn Aurora Member
    Can we get anymore information in regards to the importance of Player/God relations? For example you previously mentioned about the Devoted follower system, and stated that although players don't need to venture into the realm of having a patron deity, it would be beneficial for them? Can you go into a bit more detail in regards to this area? Does having a deity link to the angelic/demon skins (perhaps a hint at an ascended level players can attain if they are most devoted).

    Also..any news on the long-anticipated religious node article?

    Lots of love xoxo

    Will the game support 21:9 monitor aspect ratio ?

    A lot of focus has been put to the community side of the MMO genre i.e. with the referral and Node progression system being community driven. For further development in the hands of the community will Intrepid be making any API or plugins for online services that Third-Parties may use. For example a plugin for Guilds that can be used to provide data i.e. the Guild Charter and Guild Event Participants, so one day Third-Parties can use this to create Guild PVP tournaments or other community driven content that would encourage a lot more commitment from the community but also publicity for the game.

    There are other things I would like to ask but only allocated one question at a time.

    Will many or any of the quests in AoC have pop culture references ... kinda like wow but not to that extent? or easter eggish references?

    And
    Can we have subgroups in our guild?

    We haven't really had much of a metric on other systems other than node development or caravans, what would the current progress of Naval Combat, Sailing, Boats be? How far are we from seeing a sneak peek at least?
    We have also seen mostly Mount and Armor concept art come to life, when can we see one of the ship models or freeholds in their rendered state?
    Also thanks for giving us hope during this MMORPG drought! Keep doing your best!

    We've seen a lot of articles and videos showing the environment and various creatures, will we be seeing articles and videos, or even just models, of the different NPC characters of Vera, if so is it something that is coming soon, perhaps in the next couple of upcoming live streams, or is it something you're holding off until closer to the release of the alpha or beta.

    Thanks @cdkinetic :) I changed my question in order to be more specific about what information I'm looking for :#

    If i follow a corrupted God, will i be able to get the corrupted look, or something similar. Like what you have shown on the corrupted troll? For gear or your racial skin?

    In terms of breeding mounts, I understand there is a desire to minimise RNG - Does that mean that we will be bound by timers or a total number of "breeding attempts" per animal?
