IRC Chat mit Thunder

Fragen bitte direkt auf englisch schreiben ;).

Schon vorbei oder?
Najo falls nochmal irgendwann jemand irgendwas Fragen will...

Vermutlich eher Fragen für jemanden der tatsächlich an dem Game arbeitet

With Games like League of Legends and the new Starcraft as a "role model" for innovative and various abilities that enhance the game dynamics. Where do you see DoW2s stock of abilities?
(or more concrete: Do you think that invulnerability abilities (like nobs) enforce a good gameplay for a DoW2 type gameplay? If so, why?)

Are you aware of the problems that some abilties have? Death, knockdown and pathing of units is still an issue for ability triggering/mana consumption/cooldown triggers.

Random Knockdown and the general loss of unit control during a game are still issues for many gamers. Especially if you see DoW2 as a more small scale tactical game those "minor" hick ups cause many unexpectable gameplay outcomes. Does anyone from the design team care about that?

Starcraft II is ready to hit the shelfes soon. Besides the "stronger" brand and the insane marketing. Why do you think that Dow2 hasn't taken Starcrafts position?

Dawn of War feels simpler than the average RTS. Now that the casual market is partially but mostly saturated, do you think that games (or DoW: next expansion) will adress a more "mentaly involved" audience again?

If you were a game designer at relic. What would you change on the current Dawn of War II?

The storytelling in videogames compares well to B or C actionmovies. Why do you think that storytelling is still such a weakpoint in games?

Valve has become a giant from modifications to their own franchise. Why does relic hesitate to release more elaborate modding tools?

> Stance Key and Dual Side Cover are kickass. Thanks.
