Developer Q&A - Round 2

Hello everyone,

we're happy to present you with another round of Q&A with the Developers. Like we pointed out on the main page (news will follow shortly), all the questions regarding the upcoming Renegade Edition have been asked.

Now we need you to come up with new questions for the dev's! We will then pass them along and provide you with the answers as soon as possible.

The following rules apply:

• Please stay on topic (questions for the dev's)
• post only questions and
• don't turn the thread into a discussion what should / shouldn't be asked

You may ask pretty much whatever you want (as long as it's BattleForge related - but that's the last rule, I promise!). So anything goes!

Alright guys, here are the questions we have collected so far!

Gameplay Changes
• Will there be new ways to use gold?
• Will you be able to group buildings with renegade?
• Will the Twilight Edition ever be retired from being purchasable?
• Will we be able to change our in-game avatars in the near future?
• Will we be able to control Monuments?
• Will we still be able to use more than one of the same cards with different affinities in the same deck?
• Will you introduce "Fog of War" in PVP maps?



Game Mechanics
• Will new difficulties be added to maps which currently do not have a Standard/Advanced/Expert structure available?
• Is the loot distribution issue in PvE (especially on single player maps) going to be addressed other than the spread out the loot more evenly on the maps?
• Will you introduce new game modes like Tower Defence and Defence of the Ancients?
• Will you introduce new formation commands for unit like square, arrow, circle, line formation?
• Will there be a possibility to change affinity of a card?
• Are there going to be restricted PvP modes like for example: P4F cards only, Starter cards only, Twilight only, commons and uncommons only?
• Are you going to implement some mechanic for Tournaments between larger groups of players?
• When will you be introducing the Clan/Guilds system, and will Clan/Guild members be able to chat across servers?
• Are you going to introduce a Skirmish Mode?
• Will you introduce a '/RNG 100' (/roll) to help with assigning loot?



Cards
• Are you going to release more pure cards?
• Will Legendary cards be implemented normally and playable in PvP or will they be balanced so that they stop being an "I win" button?
• Are the Legendary cards going to be Promo’s?
• Will there be cards for other combinations (e.g. Frost/Fire; Frost/Shadow, Fire/Nature.) in the future?


Maps
• Will there be 3v3 PvP maps released with the new edition?
• Will there be Random maps for Ranked?
• Will there be Random PvE maps?
• Will there be a map editor?
• Do we get insane difficulty now for PvE?
• Is the concern of lack of PvE map going to be addressed?


Acquiring cards
• Why are there so many UR cards in Renegade compared to the Twilight Edition?
• Will there be more than one promo for the Renagade Edition?
• Will you release pure Renegade Edition tomes, or even half tomes?
• Will we be able to buy a custom Tome, consisting of whatever number of boosters from whatever cards edition we choose?
• Are Renegade Upgrades going to be released progressively (just like u3 Twilight) or all of them at the same time?
• Will there be a Renegade retail box and will it be available worldwide and at what price?
• With Regards the Free to Play download. Will it now incorporate Renegade Edition cards?
•

Other
• Will you start advertising Renegade or maybe even Battleforge?
• Do you have a reward planned for Renegade Beta Testers?
• Given the beta probably won’t be enough to balance all the new cards, do you plan on expanding the Watchlist range?
• Will the Log-in problem be fixed after the release?
• Are you going to make a developer chat so we can directly chat with the developers?


Keep em coming

Will there be Interface changes in the Renegate-Edition?

Will there be new ways to use gold ?

What restrictions have legendary cards?

What are the new enemy races ? Or should i say our new cards for the next edition ;D

will there be 3v3 pvp maps released with the new edition?

will you be able to group buildings with renegade (finally!) ?

According to a news article, in the Renegade edition, U1 upgrades will drop on standard, U2 for advances, and U3 for expert. A card that drops U1 on a certain will drop u2 and u3 on the same map too.

How will maps like
-Dwarvern Riddle
-Guns of Lyr
-Behind Enemy Lines
-The Insane God
-INTRODUCTION
be changed?
Will a standard difficulty be added for the first 4 maps, and adv+ expert for the introduction map?
Or will you simply move u1 (first 4 maps) and u2+u3 (introduction map) to another map?

Why are there so many UR cards in Renegade compared to the Twilight edition ?

Do the devs realize this will cause the AH prices to rise considerably (especially with the new affinity system) thus forcing players to spend even more money on single UR cards ?

will their be more than one promo for the renagade edition?

- Will there be Random maps for 2v2?
- Will there be Random maps for Ranked?
- Will there be Random PvE maps?
- Will there be a map editor?
- What will you do when Renegade is released?
- Will you start advertising Renegade or maybe even Battleforge?

I often bought Renegade Tomes as it was a better value than boosters and increased chances to obtain Rare/Ultra-Rare cards w/o duplicates. As it stand now the new Tomes will include 3 Twilight/3 Renegade Boosters. Will there be an opportunity to purchase pure Renegade tomes for value and card variety's sake?

If not, I just can't bring myself to purchase boosters alone.

-Will the Amazon get a buff?
-Are there coming more pure cards?
-You guys nerfed pure decks?
-Tower rushing still unstopable with cc (coldsnap curse of oink) will this get a fix?
-Subjecting to above: Will there be a general immume for cc?
-What's the next fix ;)?


An last but not least: Are the beta players gonna get 5 bux from you?? jk ;)
