Fan Questions Answered in Qsteel Segment
Every Friday, members of the Exteel staff answer questions in a segment called Qsteel. In the most recent Q&A session, Hawksteel answered seven questions, with the majority focusing on new forums. According to Hawsteel, the new forums will launch hopefully in the next few months.
Hawsteel also said they are looking at adding more graphics options to the game and that there will be new servers.
The answers to every question can be found here or below.
Question 1 from HondoKneph :
Are we ever going to have the two missing boosters or are they going to be released with new mechs in the future?
I don't think we'll ever see those boosters as they originally appeared in the game ever again. However, you may see one, if not both, of them in the future in a revised, cooler fashion.
Question 2 from Vizer : Are there any plans to give player great control over the graphics? This includes the new high-res models vs old low-res models as well as glow from aerogates and healpads.
We are looking to add more graphics options to the game, but can't give you a date on when right now.
Question 3 from Igglyb00 : When will we get our new forums?
Hopefully in the next few months.
What new features will we have?
More stuff. Generally we probably won't have much different than what we see on the Dungeon Runners or Lineage forums (which are the ones that have been updated publicly so far), though you will probably have to log in with your PlayNC Master Account info (so essentially your game account will be tied to your game account in some form or fashion).
Question 4 from Avalanche : Are we ever gonna have a filter that removes all the rooms we can't join. Many players, including myself are finding that we have to sift through all the non-All rooms and below in order to find one we can join which often results in a massive list of rooms we can't use.
Probably not. You can sort by Room Level, you know.
Question 5 from strikermodel : its good to see lag has been stabilized, but now crashes are more common. do you think there is any correlation between the two?
No we don't think so.
Question 6 from CharsZAku : Will there be new servers?
We actually migrated on Wednesday so... basically... yes.
Question 7 from Scorch : Do you guys think perfect weapon balance can ever be achieved?
I really don't think there's such a thing as "perfect" weapon balance, because how weapons should function in relation to each other is truly in the eye of the beholder. We can certainly try to get it close to whatever vision the decision-maker(s) has to what's appropriate for the game at present, which admittedly can change over time, depending on many factors.
