Nightfall Press Wednesdays #2
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:28 pm
This week we had Alex Weekes from NCSoft answering questions for us. Unfortunately, since no one has given me any questions to ask this week I had none to give him > text=" ... >/blum.gif">>>\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> On the bright side, since last week's questions were not answered very well and were from a newer staff member from ANet, I've reasked last weeks and I got some better answers.
Will dye storage be an upcoming feature?
Dye storage - I'm not aware of any plans. It is an idea the fans come up with occasionally as well, and the devs are aware of it. As to whether or not it's added ... like I say, I'm not aware of any specific plans.
How about Armor storage?
Likewise > text=" ... /smile.gif">>>\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
With the release of Nightfall, will there be any new guild hall NPC's available?
Again, can't give you anything concrete.
What will be holding the chapters together? Will my prophecies character be able to play Nightfall?
Old characters will be able to participate in Nightfall same as GW characters could move to GWF. Oh, and recently announced ... you can take the Heroes back to Tyria and Cantha to help you out.
How many different titles (new ones) are we able to earn with Nightfall?
There's at least one ;-) (Lightbringer) and it should be noted that Lightbringer is tied into the story.
What process is used to make a minimap for navigation to look exactly like the real 3d map? (I was told probably only Jenny Bendel could answer this one.)
erk. That goes way beyond my knowledge of the game engine > text=" ... /smile.gif">>>\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
How about decorations when Nightfall is released? Will the cities/outposts be decked out with Christmas lights or Hallowe'en decor?
There's going to be a modest Halloween event. We'll let everyone know exact details as it gets closer.
