thanks for the heads up.

Taleof2Cities

Dygz will be there … so be sure to be punctual.

Any viewership arriving later than noon will receive the glare of disapproval.

Grulsh

ooohhh.. nice! I look forward to this!

Chicago

Hopefully you ask better questions that nyce

Fantmx

What would be a better question

Sathrago

I’m not sure about Chicago, but I’m interested in learning more about how Summoners will be able to adapt to different group roles on the fly. Recent information suggests that Summoners can fulfill any role (healer, tank, support, DPS) based on the summon they use, but specialization would allow them to perform a role more effectively.

Based on this, I have three questions:

Will Summoners have four basic types of summons (Healer, Tank, Support, and DPS) that allow them to perform each role at any time, without requiring a respec, but at a lesser degree than dedicated classes?
I understand that the wiki states three summons, but the support role seems to be a very real role so I think it warrants the question.

If a Summoner fully specializes in tank talents, for example, with the Tank secondary archetype, will they be able to tank on par with a primary Tank archetype?

Lastly, if Summoners can take on any role and specialize in it, how will a Summoner/Summoner combination be balanced, given they are jacks of all trades times two?

1- how many skill points will we have at level 25, and how many skill points does each archetype and weapon need to be maxed out (obviously cant max them all out, but is to have an idea).

2- can you do pve without having a bard on your team? or not having a bard (buffs) will make it extremely difficult?

Can you please ask Steven for an estimated release time on October 25th?

And at what time each weekend will the servers open and close?

BaSkA_9x2

In your stream with Nyce and No1 you discussed some interesting topics, especially regarding launch such as the other land mass being released after launch, seasonal servers, etc. I'd like to hear Steven's point of view on some of that, especially because I personally don't need more information about October 25th.

Congrats on another interview with Steven and keep it up, brother.

When will the servers open?

Can we get the server names before the 25th?

When will the download instructions be provided?

Don’t you think we need more than a total of 9k CCU for each region?

If we assume around 150 000 Alpha 2 testers that is ccu support for about 18% of the user base.

Carlisle

Ask about racial passives and background perks plz, we know little to nothing about that

I like his nad Else's questions

@Fantmx thanks for asking about the summon pets. good to know that hes roping support and heal into one pet. i wonder if we will be able to specialize it in one way or the other if thats the case.

I think it was said, several a level. As for not having a Bard, buffs can come from more then the Bard. Of course every team will want one but you will learn to play to the strengths of what you have. That's common for games like this.

nanfoodle

We have almost nothing about Augments. What phase will we see sub classes? Some augments will enhance a skill or change it entirely. In what way will skills be changed to something different entirely, can you give us an example?

Aszkalon

Love to see it.

i missed the Live Moment but thankfully i can watch the whole Video anyway.

Depraved

nah already got my answer xD
but you know, there are games where you pretty much cant progress without buffs...and I sai cant, I really mean CANT

Noaani

Have to agree, buffs should be desired, not required.

nanfoodle

Can we get an Agnostic or Atheist progression line? I would love to spit in the face of the gods and call them false gods. I would love to RP this and take the bouses and drawbacks that would come with this.
