ASK NGD! Ecco le risposte

Ho notato che la ngd ha avuto una buona iniziativa, quella di rispondere alle domande della community, quindi ho deciso di riportarle. Commenti o riassunti in rosso

week 1

Any word on the unification of jewellery items across realms? (English Forum)

The new quests for extra realm jewelry will be added in the February update. We also plan to add more jewelry in the future as loot.

- Ottimo nuove quest per ottenere gioielli di altri reami nell'update di febbraio, e in futuro gioielli droppabili.

Do you have plans in the future to give some use to the RPs? (Spanish Forum)

We don’t intend to make RP useful. What we do, we will soon introduce a new currency that can only be obtained through the PVP, RVR. We cannot say what it will do, but it will probably be included in the February update.

- Gli RP continueranno ad essere inutili, ma ci sarà una sorta di "moneta" ottenibile dal PVP e RVR, e lo sapremo con precisione nell'udate di febbraio.

week 2

Will there be some sort of auction system or any other kind of
enhancement to the trading system? (English Forum)

Although we never had the time to devote ourselves to improve the trade system it is something that we would like to enhance.
The reason for postponing this development is that although it's not perfect we do have a working trade system in place. If we do it, we will go for an auction like model as we feel it is the system that would better fit Regnum.
We don't have plans to do this in the first half of 2011. Hopefully we can get to this before the end of the year though.

- Stanno lavorando ad un sistema di scambio al momento, probabilmente se lo introdurranno sarà un metodo in sitle Asta. non è pianificato nella prima metà del 2011

Will NGD publish non-sensitive formulas that run game mechanics? (English Forum)

Combat formulas? No.
The formulas are quite complex and we don't want to open a discussion about them. The ones of you that have been looking into them are somehow quite accurate, so you can continue with those efforts.
Formulas that calculate your performance (like player of the week and other future rankings)? Maybe.

-Non diffonderanno le formule perchè molto complesse.


Do you plan to add a system of professions and occupations? (Spanish Forum)

Regnum is a game primarily for War and we want that aspect to differentiate us from other titles. While we have addressed this issue many times and with different ideas, we never got to a model of “crafting” that does not look like a heap of boring compared to fighting in PVP or RVR.
We are not planning to address this issue this year (except for revolutionary idea: fun, easy to make and not break the rest of the game).

-Regnum è un gioco di guerra, quindi non hanno intenzione di renderlo simile ad altri giochi introducendo professioni e occupazioni, per lo meno non quest'anno.

Are you planning to remodel the Middle Zone and War Zone, as the initiation zone? (Spanish Forum)

The middle zone is the most difficult to improve because the structures present there are many and complex. The war zone is our main objective to improve and that’s where you spend most of the time. The new forts and castles are along these lines (will come in the first half of the year).
If it were up to us, we´d change the entire game from scratch. But, as always, all improvements that can be added to the game are related to NGD financials. If NGD is doing good, financially speaking, then we could include all the features asked in the questions and many more. Let’s hope we have a great 2011 to do so!

- La war zone è il loro primo obiettivo da implementare, ma è complesso, le nuove strutture arriveranno nella prima metà del 2011.

week 3

What are your plans or concepts for an improved user interface? (English Forum)

You haven’t noticed this but during the past year we have changed a lot of the programming functionality behind most of the UI (basically replacing hardcoded GUIs by scripted ones) We plan to do a graphical overhaul during this year (hopefully first half) but we don't have many parts of the UI that we think need to be completely revamped from a usability point of view. We think that Regnum's UI from a usability point of view is quite accessible and clean.
One UI that we don’t like is the NPC conversation screen. A simple modification is being introduced with the February update, but we do have a major refactoring designed for that (to make conversations more like
conversations and less like a verbal ATM).

- Rifaranno l'interfaccia di gioco, sperano di riuscirci nella prima parte dell'anno.

What changes are you planning for Invasions? (Spanish/ English Forum)

Yes, the first modification for invasions is coming in the February update. It is not a dramatic change from a functionality point of view but a set of rule changes that we think will generate a higher amount and quality of invasion attempts without being so frustrating.
We do have more changes and improvements in our minds but first, we have to try these new dynamics.

- Prima modifica per le invasioni a febbraio, niente di stravolgente. Hanno altre modifiche in mente ma prima vogliono provare queste nuove dinamiche.

By when will the Barbarian be able to use dual wielding weapons? (Spanish Forum)

Even though, the art animation for dual wielding weapons it´s already done, there´s a lot of big changes in the combat system that need to be made before adding this feature in to the game. It´s for that reason that we decided to delay it and work hard in more urgent features (February release launch for example).
Our plan is to launch a new balance version by April/May. We hope to add dual welding weapons by that time.

- L'animazione è gia pronta, ma prima di introdurre un cambiamento così travolgente preferiscono sistemare il balance prima(aprile/maggio)

week 4

What was the reason behind removing shield drops with bonuses? (English Forum)

A Balance reason. Knights would have an extra slot to increase their main
stats if we didn't remove them.

-Gli scudi che avevano bonus sono stati rimossi x una questione di balance.


Any chance for a larger spellbar in the near future? (English Forum)

Definitively yes. We plan to go for a fully customizable model.
Hopefully we will start working on the GUI soon.

-Certamente avremo una barra delle magie più larga, sperano di iniziare a lavorare sull'interfaccia il prima possibile.

Do you have new Dragon wishes in mind? (Spanish Forum)

Indeed. Our intentions were to add two new wishes per year but we didn´t make it. However, we´ll be implementing two new wishes soon. And we might gather the community to request feedback on new wishes ideas.

- Ovviamente hanno in mente altri desideri per il drago, si erano proposti di introdurre 2 desideri per anno, ma poi non lo hanno fatto. Ne introdurranno due presto, e involveranno la community x altre idee.

Do you have Dungeons with new monsters planned? (Spanish Forum)

Regnum´s engine has been developed with exteriors in mind. In order to do interesting dungeons we´d have to make a serious effort towards the technology (to be able to draw entire rooms without clogging the video board) and the tools required to create the dungeons themselves.
For now, we think that our resources are better spent on the RvR aspect of the Regnum, which where most of the fun is at.

- Non creeranno dungeons, dato che da un punto di vista tecnologico diventerebbe molto costoso, per ora pensano che le loro risorse siano spese meglio sull'RVR.

Wow ottimi cambiamenti penso ke ci rifarò un giretto a fine febbraio ora troppi esami XD

edit ho letto ke qualcosa di grosso arriva lunedi è gia passato ?

quel lunedì credo sia oggi cris

Si, e' oggi, chissa' quanto tempo resteranno inaccessibili i server....
