Q: When you create ur guild, how will it be designated in the game? (Own uploading emblem or you can choose from the emblem presets in the game or just a tag with a nickname)
A: Eugene Kiver (Producer): nickname and we are thinking about flags on your back you can toggle on and off but haven’t approved it yet.
Q: The new gameplay you showed was again low level characters. While impressive, do you have plans to show the world from a higher level player’s perspective? A lot of people (again) got the wrong impression that the game has slow gameplay mechanics.
A: Pshak (Lead Game Designer): We show the gameplay of the low level characters, because we are now focused mainly on the first 20 levels of the game. We do not do anything separately for the video and try to shoot everything in the current builds. Since the studio’s resources are limited, we try not to spend energy on separately preparing videos for the events. High level content we will show closer to CBT
Q: Is there an option to disable the quest arrow?
A: Pshak (Lead Game Designer): in Corepunk, we will only show the direction on the initial path, but then you will have to move according to the instructions in the quest
Question asked by Dave Jones
Q: how many weapon models are drawn for the game? Will there really be a legendary weapon, at the sight of which you will understand that you are a cool player? (like sulfuras from wow)
A: Pshak (Lead Game Designer): Yes, we will have legendary artifacts. We love legendary artifacts. (ps: I had such a hammer in WoW classic)
FROM THE RUSSIAN Q&A TRANSLATED BY DRAGOM AND SENBIE
Q: Could you tell us what the max number of members in a guild is going to be?
A: We haven“t fully decided yet.
Q: Is the global map going to be covered in the fog of war? Are we going to have to explore it, or is it open from the get-go?
A: It“s open, but there are no markers and points of interest, you have to unlock them, then they show up.
Q: How do you lower your karma points and become a rightful citizen again?
A: Through different in-game activities, some quests, etc.
Q: Can you add your own markers on the map?
A: It“s a good idea, it“d be nice to add it, but we don“t have it yet, you can only share the markers in chat
Q: Are all the quests going to have voiceover?
A: We want to dub all of them, numb quests really ruin the immersion.
Q: Is the endgame (such as raids) in development already, or is it going to be developed later?
A: Technically, it“s in process.
Q: Would you have to level up attributes like strength, agility etc, or are they leveling up in predetermined way, based on the hero?
A: Every character has their own scaling, yes, but you can add passive trees to that.
Q: Are there going to be dungeons? What“s the estimated number of people on like per server? What“s the estimated map size for CBT?
A: Yes to dungeons, about 20k people per server, with 8 servers online, but that“s not being precise. I can“t tell much on the map size, everything“s in the works.
Q: You mentioned that there“s going to be weather changing, what can a player expect from that? Is there going to be a blizzard, a sandstorm, a tornado or just rain?
A: Rain, wind, fog, sandstorns in deserts. Don“t have tornadoes though. We even have the ability to add snow to any location, we thought about making the seasons, but there’s no need yet, though we technically can. Night influences the mob spawn rate.
Q: Is there any info on guild content?
A: We reply when the info is concrete enough, when it’s in the works or going to be drastically changed – we talk less about it.
bonus info from Pshak:
“Oh and I almost forgot, I wanted to tell you, than one of the weapons masteries of the orc will be (two-handed) minigun. Good night!”
