Friday Live Stream Question Compilation

[Dreadhly]

[QUOTE=Archangel;44920]Hey Dreadhly - I'll summarize your questions with the short answer since a lot of them have been asked before. ok?

1. The only difference between the classes is their starting weapon. Game starts you with a pistol and either (vetran=AR)(Mech=LMG)(Survivalist=Sniper)(Outlaw=S hotgun) Other than these thing. All the classes play the same.
2. No armor set bonus's. Armor is just for looks. The shield is out only defense. Headgear and Outfits are for looks and can be unlocked in many different ways.
3. Yes, each has their own look in the beginning.
4. 2-4 man dungeons yes, Ark fall open worl raid content yes. Heroic diff has not been mentioned, no lock outs.
5. Hard to give an answer for something that relies on personnal opinion to determine. So for me, I like the chat and grouping as it is with 1 exception. The chat window is small and goes away quickly. You miss most people convos because its there and gone before you know someone even said anything to begin with. But its easy to switch between area chat, group, private, clan. And its easy to group up (^-^)b
6. Not at this time and not at this time.

you made a good point with you're answers to my questions , how ever i cant and im still holding to my thoughts on the fact that there is no class differences, no body armors ! i mean you cant expect me to were a full plated body suit just for the ayecandy and not raise a "WTF" question in my mind wen the shield its taken down and im taking full hp dmg . it defies logic at the point were its ridiculous ! defieing logic its ok but still: this is a game that takes place on earth , not some fantasy world.
the least Trion could do is : make the suits / outfits to look properly and unique for the specific class ! ( im sorry but i just see this as laziness )

But then again this is just my opinion on the subject . I am under no obligation to buy the game if i don't like it . i have high hopes for this game and if what you say is going to pass , then i was wrong about it .

Umbrus, this was covered in one of the many vids released, I think one of the ones from the game play demo at one of the conventions (I think Pax) not sure.

P.S. if I find one of the vids I was talking about I will post a link so you can have it from the trion team.

Thanks Moose, I've only been able to watch a few of the videos because my dad's computer doesn't ever want to buffer.

Elemental Questions!

Q1. Do sniper rifles have a higher chance to cause elementals to cause their effect? or do machine guns have a much better chance due to their high rate of fire?

Q2. Does critical hits increase chance of elemental effects?

Q3. Is there any protection from elemental effects on certain shields?

Q4. Are there elements that only the enemies have?

Q5. Does each pellet of a shotgun create a chance to have the element go off? Could you in theory hit a bunch of people with an element in one shot?

Q6. Not about elements but do shots have the ability to penetrate through a target and hit someone behind as well? or does it stop when it hits an enemy? (mostly refering to sniper rifles)

Will elements affect bosses?

[Moosealini]

The info I related earlier I do believe is in one of the 3 videos put up by neoseeker on youtube. they are play demos and a dev describing the action. the videos are from E3 in 2012

Just remember that things can always change. If they feel they need to make class specific outfits and headgear there is nothing stopping them from doing so in the future.
You can always do what you want with your money because its yours. Thats the beauty of the free market.
If the game is fun to play and feels good while playing it, a suit of armor that is for looks or has some meaningless stats on it doesn't matter to me. There have been many of shooter games where your armor is only there for looks and hold no value other than looks. So for me, the game is REALLY fun to play and looks great. So to each his/her own ya. (^-^)

Paladin i'll get you in this answer too, but on to the ones i know i can cover briefly. Remember, NDA prevents me from going into the details.

Q: Is there any protection from elemental effects on certain shields?
A: You wont be disappointed

Q: Do shots have the ability to penetrate through a target and hit someone behind as well?
A: Nothing at this time but it can always be something they wish to add in the future.

Q: Will elemental effects effect bosses?
A: They have the potential to apply the effect to all enemies. Im guessing though some may be more resistant or even immune than others.

Hey guys,

Just 2 little questions i've had in mind for a while now and i'm very curious about :

Q - Is rain present in the game ? (If so, is it during day, night, both ?) Rain is awesome

Q - Can you interact with NPCs in the open world ? (like talk to them to learn their stories, etc. so far i've only seen cutscenes filled with NPCs...)

Thanks

I'll add the weather question because we haven't seen any rain in the videos. Even though the weather does change, i dont think we have seen rain.

NPC's that are quest related can be spoken with but the random ones walking around can't be interacted with. So yes and no to your second question.
