Thread: Friday with Means - September 11th, 2009 - Video Q&A, Sceenies and Info-Nuggets

    Funcom employee Friday with Means - September 11th, 2009 - Video Q&A, Sceenies and Info-Nuggets

    For those who were unable to attend DragonCon this year, we hosted a Q&A session in the Sheraton. ShadowGod was nice enough to film it for us (in 5 parts).

    Part One
    Part Two
    Part Three
    Part Four
    Part Five

    I'm certain that these videos will draw even more questions...put them here and I will try and answer them.

    This week:

    We are hoping to get the next version out to Test and possibly to Live in the very near future. Work continued on the new Dark Ruins instance, Final polishing on the nightclub, balancing work and beginnnig implementation of a new "EXPLOSIVE" end game raid instance to also be released within the next month. This is going to be a very very busy month.l

    Below is more of the Opifex Female heads and the VERY FIRST new solitus female head redo.

    Questions questions!!! Its good to be back!

    Last!

    Edit: The opifex heads feel like they're too fat. They should be longer and more slender, imho. Awesome otherwise.

    LOL they all kind of look cross eyed to me, that's about the only thing bad I could find about the new heads.

    How about some new engine footage...or still doesn't look as good as the Orge engine was before it got put to bed?

    Soli head looks ok

    Opi heads need to be taller and more narrow. And they have lost their "I'm over-caffeinated" look - they look too zen-like peaceful.

    Also, is it possible to put the new models into the game even prior to the new engine? You've mentioned how they look (eg:blue glowing nm eyes) in the old engine so I would assume it is technically possible.

    QUESTION:
    Can you guys do anything about getting all the neat 'in-game' advertising back in circulation on the billboards? Whether Massive has ads to put in rotation or not, it really helps to see those creative billboards that were once in heavy rotation.

    QUESTION:
    Are you contemplating putting in-game some system for teaching newbies about one of AO's most complex, yet barely-explained features, that being implants? Perhaps combine that with the need for 'profession trainers' and set up trainers in each of the starting cities who teach people about their profession and have them do quests for a full set of low-QL implants? (ding TL2, get a mission and waypoint to your profession trainer)

    Opisexes are good enough , i don't like the Solitus though. Old one is hot, new one looks like teenage prom queen with way too much make up.

    Opifex heads need to be a little longer/thinner and a bit more hollowcheeked on some of them...
