Dev Q&A Thread 7.1.09 - Answers!!! が出たのでちょっと抜粋。
Q: With the increase of level cap to 90 what will happen with the experience bonus for number of 80's you have? Will it stay at 80 or move up to number of 90's you have?
A: This is based on the current possible max level. When it increases to 90, you will get bonus for the number of level 90 characters on your account.
lvl80キャラが居るごとに他のキャラに与えられるExpボーナスはlvlcapが90になると90での計算になるそうです。
Q: Any news about the guild alliances that were discussed some time ago?
A: Unfortunately, we have no news at this point regarding guild alliances.
うちのような小さなguildにはGuild Allianceの機能が何かしらあると嬉しいのですが予定なしの模様。
Q: With the announcement of the Summoner/Predator changes at FanFair, specifically with regards to the debuff changes. Will these changes be a part of the Feb. 2010 X-Pac or will these changes be tested and released as a part of an upcoming GU? I would hate to think they would only be available for testing in Beta prior to release.
A: It is actually summoners and rogues. Predators are not part of the change. Since we are still working out the details of what is changing, we don't have a specific test plan or release date.
Rougeの変更が予定されています。まだ情報が錯綜しているので不明ですがswb,brgの代表artsが統合されるとかSummoerに移されるとか。まさかLung PunctureとDispatchとかね・・・。
Q: Why??? Will mythical weapons will not be the ‘No.1′ weapon. Why will they be usable as a clicky item to get the unique class-defining abilities, or equippable in a charm slot. People have spent hundreds if not thousands of man hours doing and back flagging there guildes to have in the end what looks like a mythical charm?
A: Mythicals have now been the very top end weapons available for two entire expansions. With the coming expansion and level cap raise, mythicals will become considerably easier to acquire, and we would like to give players the opportunity to acquire new weapons from the difficult content we are adding. We recognize that a lot of time has been put into these weapons, and it is not our intent to make them completely obsolete. While there has been a great deal of speculation on what will happen to the mythicals, we have not yet officially announced the changes we will be making.
mythicalの方向性はまだ未定ですよと。lvlによる装備の劣化もどうなっているのやら。現在のMitigationのようなMobから相対的な劣化を考えているようですが相対表記だと性能がいまいち掴みにくいのではないかと思ってしまいます。日頃から言っている分かり易い表現にして欲しいものです。
Q: Can we have more usable icons for macros please?
A: Macros will allow you to use any icon in the game. You can drag any item or spell directly to the icon window and the macro will inherit the item’s icon.
マクロのアイコンを増やして貰えるのは嬉しいですね。
