The First Four Questions, Do you agree?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

this is a continuation of the first page but i want it to be More organised i want one suggestion at a time it will be evaluated and chosen by Mod's after its selection.

 

the first four are:

 

Please make sure that they are SENSIBLE Questions that havent been asked 100 TImes already!)

 

List needs a mod to authenticate it though no to reveling Questions

 

1.We remember hearing a interview from E3 about recording video from ingame. Exactly how will this work ? Will we be able to record freely or will it just be normally recorded and the user able to freeroam around it?

2.We've been told that the game will be very moddable and use data driven XML files. Can you give an example of an entry in these files(such as the X-Wing)? Also how many files would we need to edit to put in a new unit?

3.Is it possible for the use of diplomacy to persuade planets to join your side, or are we resticted to only invasion via the ground portion in order to gain control of the planet?

4.Will the Stormtroopers sliding down from the AT-AT cost anything or are they free? Or is there a limit of how many Stormtroopers you can create from the AT-AT ? Also will Star Destroyers produce Tie Fighters during battles ?

5.

Ok, I'm going to allow this because it's what people think of the first four questions, but I'd ask that you let the mods handle the questions from now on to avoid some of the chaotic posting we saw yesterday. We appreciate your efforts there, but the discussion has been taken to the maw, where we hope to co-ordinate things a lot better. I've changed the title to reflect that this is for people to agree over the first four only.

 

We will have a poll up determining the 5th question in due course, please bear with us, and please don't open any more threads about the questions.

AG how many times do i have to say this. NEITHER THE AT-AT NOR STAR DESTROYER CAN PRODUCE UNITS. It is their timed special ability which every unit has that allow them to deploy a low powered squad of Stormtroopers/TIE Fighters.

[Wiking_pff]

there should be a question about the demo

[Darth Tyrant]

I still think that the hero question is important.

[Cain]

There is also a disscussion in the Maw.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

the Maw is moderators only

and it wasnt that chaotic it just got out of hand as the moderators were the ones arguing over it and i did a good job with sorting out the first Four Questions and the Demo is not being asked about it was decided last night that we will have all available information in due time.

[Teradyn_pff]

#3 has already been answered in the live developer chat. As a matter of fact, it was the only question of mine that got asked (or was able to be answered). The only swaying of a system to a side will be campaign events. Heros will be able to boost things on planets by their pressence, but not by doing missions ala Rebellion.

all information will be answered in february 2006...

I still think we should ask whether a demo is coming at all, or if it's going to be released before the game comes out

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

DCelphi has confirmed the Demo by saying that he has just finished doing the maps being used for it! i'll quote him when

Not yet, but I have been polishing up the maps the demo will be using.

ok theres proof that were close to the release and if you want any more look at the EaW Demo thing at the top of the EaW General Discussions screen.

[Sithxace]

i dont like 1st question

[Guest JediIgor]

If you don't like it, give a reason why, otherwise don't bother posting.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

i have asked in the first post for reasons please.

[Garbageben]

I'm perfectly fine with the questions we have listed now. In all reality there is more than likely not that much left to unveil about this game. At least in my mind anyway.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah true but they can still have some surprise if not with the units but powers and other things that can be surprised on us.

[EJM]

Well, How about "How structures will be constructed?, we will be able to enter a planet when we want?, and place shields, sensors arrays, defences, organize our troops??...

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah they are valid questions but not vital questions that we could do without them being answered because when the demo is released we will be able the experience that.

[EJM]

Yep, you're right on that one

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

and for one would rather experience it and get used to it than be told how to do that because it means that we are unbias towards how it is done.

[EJM]

Well, we've been wauithing for the game like one year, althougt the demo is near, we want to know some aspects that we aren't shure

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah we have but it doesn't change the fact that somethings cant be asked when we can possible find out in a week or two anyway and there are probably people on here that went to a games convention that could answer that question anyway.

[Mcas1937]

I feel that all the questions are good. We should figuier out a fifth question now.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

the mod's are and i'm banned from starting another topic to decided it thats what this topic started as.

[Popcorn2008]

Alright, 58% of the people who voted here agreed that the four questions are fine and should stay as they are. All of the mods are also in agreement about the four questions, although some may be re-worded or changed at our discretion. Now we at the maw are still working all the tweaks out of the four and we are finished the fifth question poll topic.

 

-Closed until the poll about the fifth question is released-

[Cain]

I agree this topic needs to be reopened (Remade) after the fifth question is released.
