Siddus Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 All new details :As already mentioned, Empireatwar.net will be holding an exclusive Live chat with Empire At War developers Petroglyph and Lucasarts. The Live chat will take place on Friday October 28th at 7pm GMT. However, 24 hours before the live chat takes place, we are giving FORUM members the chance to have an 'early bird' question posted to the team by asking their question early. The live chat website will be http://www.empireatwar.net/chat using the IRC chat client.This page also reveals part of the new branding for Empireatwar.net once more game information is announced. DMUKhttp://www.empireatwar.net Glad to see the time is perfect ! Thanks DMUK to be European Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AT-AP Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Since most game-technical questions have already been answered, I'd like to get some trivia-answers out of them, like "Will there be AT-TE or UT-ATs or Juggernauts in the game". Something short and specific like that. (And maybe the people wondering about B-Wings/The Executor will get their answer. ) http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/CptK/StarCruiser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn2008 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I want to ask straight up if the Death Star can fire on ships. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmark Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I hope the Q&A we put together is back before the live chat. It would be a shame if we get all those questions answered in the chat, only to have the Q&A come back with the same answers... kind of defeats the point of it.

Sigma Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Finaly we can ask if the SSD will be on the game and recive a straight answer. Thats why I'm not getting on the chat, the first thing my fingers will end up typing is, "WiLL ThErE Be SsD, B-WiNG and TIe InteCEPTORS" in that noobish fashion. I strike again!

But oh yeah, I'm gonna grill them on my ship explosions tangent. Also, I'm gonna grill them about the Death Star planetary explosion: will they fix the glitch with the planet's shockwave going through the Death Star and surrounding ships? I'm gonna grill them about the SSD, the B-Wing, the Interceptor, and the Lancer Frigate. Finally, I'm gonna grill them about AT-ATs: are troopers just going to magically "appear" out of it, or will the stormies rapell out the sides in a really neat fashion? Sort of like how American Rangers rapell out of Chinook helicopters in Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makwu Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 My impression of the few pre-release game chats that I have sat in on: "First off, I just want to say thanks you so so so so much for doing this chat. My name is SuperPetroFan985, I'm your biggest fan!!!!!!!! " "Is the game going to be any fun?" "Can I mod the game so that Obiwan can cut of storm troopers heads?" "In the movies, the grass on naboo is a little darker green than in your games. Have you guys ever watched the movies?" "Please go play RTW, because I think there is a lot you could learn about RTS genre before you work anymore on this game. Have you ever played RTW? Its really good, I'm serious." "If you are to include Greedo as an Imperial Hero, can you make sure that Han fires the first shot should they confront eachother rather than having Greedo fire and miss? Thanks" And my favorite: "I need know when Death Store falls in battle and pops nar the planet and there are like tini ships and big ship and there are rocks form the planet because that fire ring went around back and out and the are turning around sliding fast towards outerspace sparkles all over and the base sheld of the smaler shiips had vanished and one of the peaces hits near one of the big ships does the one die?"

Swiftdraw Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 This is why I'm going to avoid the live chat... I've got a feeling I may have an urge to start hunting people starting with their IPs... But I'm still up for a violent demostration against Gamespy/IGN as a preventive measure. Anyone else still game? For you semi-humorless folk out there, I'm kidding. I've no idea where Gamespy HQ is.... I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foshjedi2004 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I want to ask straight up if the Death Star can fire on ships.That has been confirmed during the Australia event!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makwu Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I want to ask straight up if the Death Star can fire on ships.That has been confirmed during the Australia event!! I disagree. What was said was: "He can continue to take this battle on. And if he wanted to, depending on how he is playing the game, he may just want to take out the space station or he may just want to take out those ships, again it depends on his overall strategy." I have listened to it many times and do not feel that he is talking about what the "Death Star" can attack, but rather saying that you dont' "have" to take out the planet just because you have the Death Star with you. Also, we still have not seen a way to select the Death Star and the Death Star itself shows up in the minimap in the corner and never moves, as if it is not actually on the map.

How does the Rebellion assault the Death Star? Is it treated like a unit, a planet, or does it have a special classification? The Rebellion can attack the Death Star just like any other unit or building in the game. However, the job of destroying it can be easier or harder depending on which units or heroes the player attack it with�http://swgb.heavengames.com/eaw/interview.php It should act like any other unit.

Ghostly_Substance Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Cool so you need at least one planet to stay in the game, imagine you mass out a huge army then strike all at once against the enemy faction -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Well that interview confirms you can only have one Death Star built at a time. *whew* http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I didn't like the answer to #7..#7 Will you be able to upgrade/build another Death Star unit such as the one featured in Return of the Jedi, meaning ability to fire at capital ships and low cooldown time? You're only allowed one Death Star? Don't get greedy! Why the question mark? Was it a typo? And he didn't answer whether or not you get the DS Mk.II or not. Meh...

Makwu Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 OMG How old is this interview? Good questions and answers. This is by far the most informative interview yet. How come it wasn't better posted on the forums? hmm Thanks Nevets PS: If they are going to have some EU units and inhouse creations, I don't think anybody here should worry about ceps, b-wings and SSD's. Im sure there first priority would be to get all the movie vehicles into the game. let me say yay! EDIT: Looks like this interview was on the 30th. (Only a few days ago). Nevets, you want to make a post for it in the general? (I don't want to make it like i was the one that found it or something ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I got it off Empireatwar.net fourms, don't know why it wasn't posted here. (think it is very new) Most are suspecious about the "?" typo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMaulUK Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 The aim of the live chat is to have questions answered about the game and for the community to get a feeling of what else we can expect. i wont be asking the tradtional silly questions you see but of course, everything is a balancing act as there are some questions that they cant answer. With this chat, I would be expecting something to be announced/mentioned in there somewhere.

Makwu Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks Darth, my post wasn't meant to be taken too seriously (I hope that was obvious).
