Question for the Week 7/18 through 7/24

[GuideRaguel]

Post your questions for the Developers below.

Thank you.

[MrDDT]

What are your plans for AI/Animals? Do you ever expect animals to take groups of people to kill and attack as they are so strong?

It has been mentioned before that when skilling changed there would be a way to reset your skill points. Is this coming soon? I think that it is about time for this feature seeming as there are different skillcaps etc in place now.

Are you working on fixing fullscreen mode? Most people are forced to play windowed mode now due to the way fullscreen mode crashes when you alt-tab back to windows.

It has been mentioned that ladders are coming soon. Have you thought of the possible use of ladders when sieging another tribal area to get over the walls? This might be a cool feature. Maybe they can only be made in tribal lands but can be moved away for seiges. Making them very heavy to carry like logs would make this exciting.

Will we be able to change the terrain near rivers and on rock soon? It is a little annoting that i cannot terraform areas of my own lands due to it being granite.

Architecture is very time consuming and uses large, heavy resourses. Im fine with that, but it is a real letdown that we get no xp from creating buildings etc. When so much time and effort is spent creating things ingame, it should be rewarded with xp, in my opinion. Are you fixing this asap?

Old saw blades are very hard to come by. They are only used to make saws, which is a basic tool. Why have you done this? It seems to me a much better idea for people to be able to get tools made more easily, otherwise crafts that require a saw are at a large disadvantage compared to other crafts. I think this affects the balance between solo player and tribal player.

Are you keeping in mind the players who want to play solo when you are creating all the new content? Yes, we want to create movement around the map and trade and conflict, but can you please consider the ramifications of the new content on solo players before you implement?

1) How many of your actual coding/programming Developer Team does actually have a degree in either Computer Science or Software Programming (and equivalent)?
2) Is the current Xsyon In Development the full extent of the plan for the upcoming 6-8 weeks? Or is that hoping a bit too much ?
- Just my usual non-game curiosity that shows its face .
3) It is getting incredibly tiresome to see abandoned totems everywhere and I can only imagine how new players feel when they constantly see these abandoned areas, what are your plans for introducing totem decay?

[aliksteel]

Is the economic system still going to be left up to the players? Or do you have any plans for a real economic system for the game?

[fatboy21007]

Can you explain the scheme limits, Are they all trade skills recipes combined limit, or just each trade has it own lock? Also what is the limit for schemes we can have? and how do you plan to add it? ( i know for architecture @ lvl 100 you should be able to 100 recipes, considering the sheer amount of updates you plan to do to arch soon) what is your opnion of learning 1 recipes per level and leting the level limit how many you can learn? When will we see a upgrade totem/remove totem button added for tribes? Do you have any screenshots of the new zones that you are about to open up? Also is the scenary different? Ie, is their old ruins lefts like cars, buildings etc? (i sure hope so) :-) And 1 final question, will we have the ability to make other types of roads?

As a female player, I have some gender specific quesions I would like to pose.

1) Does Xsyon have, or future plans to have female specific armor or female specific clothes/grass armor/leather/bone armor recipes? (Personally, I'm tired of looking like a female dressed in boys clothes). If so, what is your timeline?
2) Do you plan in the future or near future to cater to female interests in tatooing, hairstyling or other things that ornament both the female and male character. If so, what is your timeline?


I have more than 5 questions in regards to female players, but I will withold them until your answers to the above. Thank you for your time & consideration of a "small population" in your game.

[Khalart]

1) Can you describe how temperature and weather can influence comfort?

2) Can you describe which stat (energy, thirst, hungry, etc.) and how comfort will influence them?

Thank you very much

When will you have someone write up the lore for Xsyon?

When will you open up new lands ? It was promised for April. It would be nice to see some new territory and to get some new places to settle down and build, the mountain areas are a pain with the current camera control and there are plains in the green mist. I understand that you don't want the players to disperse too much, so don't open 50 new zones at once...but 5 new zones won't hurt.

I've been planning to move to the new lands since launch, so my camp is only temporary, haven't built or terraformed anything. I'd like to know when can I start to build my final camp. Opening up some new zones would help the new players too to find nice spots, good ones are taken in the starting zones.
