[17:12] broper: The demo was designed to be just a smal taste of the game.
[17:13] broper: With a gamethat has as much content and depth and complexity and replayability as Hellgate: London, we can't do a demo that can properly express that.
[17:13] broper: On the other hand, we had a lot of fizes - especially to DX1 - that we couldn't get in.
[17:13] adissmc: Bill means DX10
[17:13] broper: Which is why the demo was DX9 only - I think this confused a lot of people.

[17:20] aebrahimi: Q: [gamona]Thomas: Many players complain about the enviroments/levels of HGL not being very diverse. What's your opinion about this and is it going to change with some of the upcoming patches?

A: Thomas, HGL's dynamic level technology was built with the idea that we'd be extending well into the future. As with any big-budget game today, building environments are costly in terms of man-hours. We've yet to tap the flexibility of our DRLG technology and you'll see more in the future. As we add more areas and tilesets, our designers will be able to mix and match to create new environments for your enjoyment.
[17:20] <scarfacedude(!rufus) (Peon (Mute)) has entered the room>
[17:20] kaiserbus: [gamona]Thomas: What are your plans to integrate guilds and guilding feature into

*We have lots of different things planned for the game. Guilds were introduced with Patch 0 (which is now live), and we'll be adding more and more functionality to it as time moves on. We have a lot of our own ideas, but we'll definitely be listening to all of your comments as well, and incorporate whatever works best for the game.

If you cancel your subscription, then those characters will become unavailable. They'll still be saved on our servers, so if you should get your subscription back, your characters will be waiting for you. Similar situation with the extra stash space.

[17:23] dathedix: In regards to Evoker Balance - One of the interesting things about HG is that each of the classes offers a distinct play experience from one another and the Evoker is at the extreme end of one of those play styles. We ill be trying to continually balance any areas that seem out of whack but I would expect that each class will always have some areas of the game that they struggle with more or less based on their nature.

A: Y'know, due to the time difference, the sheer scope of getting the game launched around the world, and all that jazz, we really wanted to do as much testing as possible. There was bound to be a hiccup or two along the way, so we apologize if anyone had to wait too long. We want everyone online as soon as possible! ^_^

[17:27] adissmc: BOU [SLH]: What Game Engine are you using?

We've actually built our own graphics engine from the ground up. It's really neat, because we've been able to optimize it for all of our randomized environments. There are a lot of nifty challenges involved with that, which most static-geometry engines don't have to deal with./
[17:27] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: gamesmaniac: What inspired you to choose the name for the game? It could be Hellgate: New York or other cities.

A: London is a perfect city for Hellgate. It has such a unique history, with a great variety of architechture, a subway system, etc. There was just so much to pull from that could be used in the game in cool and clever ways. Plus, it just sounds cool.

[17:28] wdmanegold: medievaldragon: The Hardcore Mode tooltip at the character creation page says that a character can't resurrect or be ghosted. Death is permanent. Could you explain? How can you play again?

Once a character dies in hardcore mode, they can only walk around the various stations that they've reached. In this way, you can still prove to people how far you got in Hardcore mode, but you can't get any farther. If you want to use that slot to play more, you have to delete the character and create a new one.

[17:29] broper: Klaak: LaReece: With games like Tabula Rasa releasing the same time as Hellgate, are you confident that HGL will strive and prosper against the competiton?

A: We believe that Hellgate: London is really unlike any other MMo around. The fact that it can be played as a stand-alone game, has free online gameply, and then also has a way for players to get a steady stream of content - not to MENTION how different the game play is - makes it stand out. We aren't really thinking of how we're 'going up against' other games. If it's fun - people will play.

Well, It's amazing. I always wanted to get a job in the industry, never thought it would be with such a great company. At first it was a little bit intimidating, wondering if I was going to live up to their expectations, but now it's just tons of fun. Everyone here is great and has an awesome sense of humor. I don't think I can work anywhere else and be as satisfied as I am now. People here work and act like family, which I am definitely not used to.

A: We have people here with a variety of backgrounds. I don't know everyone's educational background at the company here. However, I can say that we have a programmer who used to work for NASA and one who specialized in written and spoken languages. Not all the programmers here received a CS degree, however, all are very talented. Many of the programmers worked on Diablo, so that is where we have the experience to create a game that never plays the same each time through.
[17:29] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Klaak: NightmareXX: Will there be any plans to make this available via Steam? I find it an extremely useful way of being able to get my games

A: We all love Steam here, but we don't have any current plans to offer Hellgate through the service. Because our game isn't a standalone title and requires different forms of authentication for security and such, integrating it into a 3rd party app would be very difficult. A nice idea, though. ^_^

[175] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Klaak: daniz0rz: The game's trailer makes the game appear like a FPS but it's advertised as an RPG. Is combat gonna be more like an FPS or more like KOTOR (which was sorta turn based but realtime)?

A: To add to Jordan's answer, Hellgate in a lot of ways creates its own genre. It covers so many gameplay styles, that's you can't pin it down really. Want to have an FPS-like experience? Play a Marksman. Want a more action-RPG 3rd-person game? Try an Evoker. Wnat to play single-player? Do it. Multiplayer online? Sure. Really, Hellgate is the game YOU want it to be.
[175] broper: Klaak: goldfish928: approximately how many hours long is the single player campaign, and can you take players back and fourth between single player and multiplayer like in titans quest?

A: We expect players to take between 30-40 hours to complete the storyline of the game. And., of course, this is just the first time through the game! You can continue on in Nightmare mode - basically taking another "lap" through the content at a harder difficulty level with your same character, raising their levels of experience and loot. Because of the random nature of the game, you can play with another character and have a VERY different experience - both in how the classes play and how the game progresses.

We do not allow characters to go between single and multi player because we have no idea what you’ve done with your character when it isn’t on our servers.

[176] aebrahimi: Q: EliteOps1: Some people complained about the graphics being sub par compared to other games of this generation, such as Crysis. What is your response to this?

A: Well, when we talk about comparing graphics of one game to another we have to level the playing field. What type of game is it? What are the constraints? What level of geometry is being pushed through the engine? Crysis is an FPS game with a specific storyline. They can do things that we're unable to do such as performing a static geometry visibility pass on their levels, since their levels are not dynamically generated. Crysis is a great looking game and I'd be more inclined to compare it with a Gears of War or Unreal Tournament 3. Crysis doesn't have all the dynamic character generation we have, so they didn't have to build an engine around that. For what we do, we do it well.

Roughly, we plan on substantial updates every few months, with a number of special surprises between. You'll definitely have a lot of stuff to play with.

Yes, C++ mostly. We actually write in a very C-like manner, but using a C++ compiler. A few pieces and parts here and there (mostly on the server-end) are written in C# or Powershell or JSP. I spend most of my days in front of Visual Studio writing C++ code, though. That, and Excel. A lot of Excel time, too.

[179] dsteinwedel: Frosty-: When developing the sound effects for the game did you use classic zombie and monster sounds we hear a lot from movies and more, or is it an orignial score? The sound effects are all custom designed for Hellgate using both commercial libraries and custom recordings made here. The musical score is completely new.
[179] aebrahimi: Q: radu12345: What game engines did you use for the game?
A: I think this question was already answered, however, I'll post again. Our engine is custom-built from from the ground up. We had to go this route to accomodate the dynamic levels and character generation for the game. Not many off-the-shelf engines support these things well.

[179] inruin: Jolene: Flagship is working on Mythos as well.... I feel that Hellgate has too many similar traits. Do you feel Mythos is a game unique in itself?

A: They do share a lot of similar traits, but that's because those traits are awesome! Who doesn't like randomized loot Being the Mythos Community Manager, I find myself talking about this a lot. Mythos is more of a fast paced game. One you can get in for 15-30 minutes and accomplish a lot, or play for hours and accomplish a ton. It is definitely a game unique in itself just as much as Hellgate is. Sure they share similar traits, but they aren't identical. The settings in the games are very different also, and in the future you will see Hellgate and Mythos drift farther apart as more features go into Mythos and more into Hellgate. Deep down though, they will always be sybling games!
[17:40] thedish: Play WoW and Hellgate
[17:41] broper: Lachlann: Personally, the game reminds of the 1st release of City of Heroes. It was a lot of fun to play, but didn't have the depth to keep me interested in the long run. There are some obvious advantages with Hellgate London not requiring a monthly fee to play, but that lack of depth in an MMO is still an issue. (No PvP, crafting, guild bases/structures, limited character types, etc.) Are you planning on adding some of the more traditional MMO content (like the above) to the game?

Actually, some of the things you’ve mentioned are in the game, bnut if you haven’t played online with the live pday one patch, you may have missed them! We do have initial PvP - both Dueling and Free-for-all. I also am not sure if six classes with a lot of different builds counts as “limited” (WoW has “only” 9 for example).

[17:41] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: radu12345: Have you thought of acquiring a protecting engine for your game, in order to block hacking programs such as the widely spread packet editors and the address editors?

A: We have our own security measures in place to deal with these types of issues. For obvious reasons we can't talk about them, but we take security VERY seriously. We've all seen games be ruined by cheaters, hacks, etc and we're doing everytihng we can think of to make sure Hellgate stays clean.
[17:41] broper: We have the core of our crafting system in with the Nanoforge and recipes, so expect to see more of this on the way. Our Guild system is an exciting area of growth, and we’ve got a lot of ideas on how to make this very fun for our players who want to be in a guild. No MMO is as complete on day one as it is 3 months or 6 months or a year or more down the line, and the fact that we aren’t a traditional MMORPG means we have a lot of things those games don’t.

[17:41] aebrahimi: Q: ςЧЄЄpŶkins: You’ve made Flagship studios your business and Hellgate your item of sale so it’s all very official, but importantly did you have fun developing the game back at the studio?

A: Not at all (tongue-in-cheek). On the real, the guys here love to play games. In fact, early in development we were all "forced" to play the game for a block of time every Friday. I don't know many game company's that actually alot time for you to play the game you are developing.

You have a quest log that tracks quest progress throughout the game, both in terms of what quests you have, and your progress within them. There are ways to turn on constant progress readouts as well, so you don't have to constantly go back to your log. A number of the developers here play the game without any sound, since in a crowded office you can't really use speakers, and they don't seem to have problems...^_^

Thankfully, our awesome programmers at Flagship and our awesome engineers at Ping0 have developed a system that's fast and efficient, even when dealing with massive amounts of data.

[17:47] broper: b8y: Have you implemented statistics gathering and analysis tools into the online component to figure out what players are doing and what to change/improve?

We have a little program we have lovingly dubbed “The Evil Eye” that gets us a lot of game play data, including what classes are being played, what skills they use, what weapons are used, snapshots of equipped items every time a character levels, monster damage and death rate and a lot more. We use this as a big tool for making balance changes and is something we have never had before.

Actually, we started Ping0 about a year and a half ago, so effectively, it is a first-party system. The folks upstairs (who are currently in a hive of activity) have worked hard to make a backend server suite that's designed to accomodate both Mythos and Hellgate.
[17:49] broper: [Xfire] MasterRen: About what percentage of the original team continues to work on the game after its initial release?

Right now - just about EVEYRONE! Moving forward (when we feel we can break people away from it) a significant portion of the company will be working on continuing content.

[17:50] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: 'Frosty-: How did you decide to add "elite content" for paying customers rather than just going with the classic Diablo style?

A: Think about Diablo for a minute. While people still love the game and are still playing, there weren't that many updates over the years. No people, no content. To put it lightly, a lot of people wanted more content. With Hellgate, we want to make those people happy by having a dedicated team here at Flagship continuously working on new content/features. In a lot of ways, we chose this model FOR the fans. Now, we can keep the game going as long as everyone wants. The reality is, it takes a lot of people to make a game these days, and it's hard to find amazing artists/programmers/etc that work for free. ^_^

Hellgate is easily the hardest game I've ever had to make. Of course, coming from Dora the Explorer: Super Star Adventures, that's not saying much That said, there have been some incredible challenges, and I've learned more in my tenure on this game that I learned in all of college, and all my previous jobs combined.

When we're not crunching, I work a pretty typical 40-hour week (or so). During crunch, that figure explodes to 80 or more.

A: Yes, significant in extra icing on the cake. The improvements won't affect gameplay, seeing as we wouldn't want to. In DX10 you've got motion blur, depth-of-field, better filtering, SLI support, soft-shadows to name a few... You get both in-box, so you can choose whichever one you want to play

[17:55] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: <|CF|>TeyRon: bungee employees often wore silly hats for humour and were given ice cream while developing to keep themselves sane, what did you do to stay sane

A: I can only speak for myself, but I, um, played lots of videogames. Haha.
[17:55] inruin: ghostfaceҲ: ROFLCOPTER? Yes or no?

A: Definitely.

[17:56] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: Loco: I think I remember hearing about a guild system in HG, so will there be a sort of guild bank or maybe other things to make a guild feel more tight and unified?
[17:56] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: Loco: I think I remember hearing about a guild system in HG, so will there be a sort of guild bank or maybe other things to make a guild feel more tight and unified?

A: Expect the guild system to expand greatly over time. We're just getting started!

[17:57] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Klaak: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: What fuel do you use to keep yourself awake when developing content?

A: Our fridge is filled with Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Splenda, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero, Coke Plus, Diet Coke with Lime with Splenda, and this AWESOME drink called GoGirl (that's not a joke)
[17:57] ethervonlubs: Xfire] Supercop007: <|CF|>TeyRon: bungee employees often wore silly hats for humour and were given ice cream while developing to keep themselves sane, what did you do to stay sane

A: Sane? Muahhaa . In seriousness… thankfully we have an amazingly fun and creative team. We have game nights (as Trish mentioned earlier), game tournaments, the occasional office party, and a fridge full of red bull.. They all play a part in keeping us (mostly) sane.

P.S. This should also answer the “Fuel” question. Red Bull!

[17:58] dathedix: [Xfire] Supercop007: Ragnarok: where did you do you training for modeling art/animation?
Most of my training, and really most of the really good artists I know didn't go to school for it but to be honest 10 years ago there was nowhere near the amount of training facilities that there are these days. If you're disciplined enough to be able to work on your own I'd recommend going through the training dvd's at thegnomonworkshop.com. I'm constantly picking up new dvd's to keep my skills sharp even after doing this sort of thing professionally for years. The DVD route will also save you a huge amount of money on school fees since most art schools will suck you dry in a heart beat but like I said that route requires a lot more discipline because know one is going to be there to kick your *** out of bed.
[17:58] broper: Q: [ cosi ]: What special Events are you going to add (or already been added) to the game Hellgate London? Will there be something like the World event in Diablo 2 for a annihilus ? Or will there be something like UBER bosses ? (Like Uber Diablo, Uber Mephisto, Uber Baal) ... And are there Fun levels like "Cow Level" ? And are you planing to bring out expansions, if yes, how many and how fast? Or will it be there be free "forever" ?

A: We are already running special events in the game for Halloween, and will have more in November. We’re also going to release a major content update for subscribers in December that is already being worked on. We’ll have all kinds of events for all different sorts of players over the coming months - some recurring and others for limited amounts of time. You’ll start seeing new types of levels next month, as well as some special bosses.
[17:58] <kod1337(PTV|KoD) has left the room>
[17:59] adissmc: <|CF|>TeyRon: Certain Games in the past have had content released on retail disk but locked, Final Fantasy 11 and Phantasy Star universe to name a few, Does Hellgate:London have Locked content stored on the retail DVD but will become availible over time?

Everything that is finished and ready to be played is on the DVD. Our ongoing content is going to include a lot of new stuff, which we will be patching to players over the Internet.
[17:59] kaiserbus: [Xfire] Supercop007: mعћnӘs§: Is it possible to LAN or VPN the game so you can play with your buddies?

A: We don't include LAN support for security reasons. We really thought a lot about this, and it just wasn't feasible w/o opening the game up to a lot of security holes. You could always have your friends over and just play together over the 'net. Sounds silly maybe, but it totally works!
[18:00] inruin: Lintor: WIll there be any cosplay like items, like Cat Ears or a Fox Tail to wear ingame

A: Currently there are some specialty items. Right now, as far as armor is concerned, we have the All Hallow's Visage. This is a horned skull that is on fire; a rare drop for subscribers during our Halloween event. We also have candy that makes you a ghost, sets you on fire, and a pet called Zombot that follows you around. We also have others planned for future events!
[18:00] broper: Q: Lachlann: Come on, sneak this one in right before we are done: "How do you get to the Cow level in Hellgate London?" =)

A: Well, I haven’t seen anyone post about the hidden gem activation yet, so I guess you haven’t looked hard enough…

[18:00] aebrahimi: Q: dcurry: If I come to San Francisco what are my chances I can visit Flagship Studios and come in and look around???
A: You'll have to find us first! Hey, it'll be fun; like a game. We move offices every other week to fend off the hordes

[18:02] flagshipxxxjordanxxx: Music in a game is important.. I havent played the beta.. But what do you thing about the musik.. Did you spend alot of time on it or did you focus on the game..
A: We agrree that music is very important. It really helps with immersion. That is why the audio team worked with Guy, our audio programmer, to create a dynamic music system that repsonds to the level of action on screen. It's a very complex system that required lots of tweaking by Dave. We are very happy with how the music sounds, and are looking forward to making the music playback even better..
[18:02] kaiserbus: Spartan109: What age group do you hope to attract and do you think that HG:L will attract new people in too gaming?

A: Well, our game is M-rated, so no one under 17 should be playing! ^_^ We want everyone to play the game. Diablo fans, console fans, non-gamers. I've had a lot of personal emails sent to me from people who weren't into games, but are intrigued by Hellgate. So far, looks like people are responding to the game on a variety of levels!

[18:02] broper: Q: 'cS.Innervision: will there be loads for guild to do together apart from just grouping for instances

A: We have a lot of things in the plans and works for guilds, and raid-level content is definitely on that list. We want people who enjoy the Guild experience to give us feedback on what they want so we can build this structure and game play around what they’re looking for in the way Hellgate: London plays.

[18:02] <bobafett573([Xfire] Klaak) (Moderator) has entered the room>
[18:02] adissmc: PilotMadnick: Will there be real books about Hellgate? Like Dan Abnett books or fantasy books

Yes! In fact, the first book (in what I believe is to be a trilogy) has already been released! Look out for "Hellgate: London Exodus" by Mel Odom at your local bookstore. (Listen to me: I sound like an ad!)
[18:03] aebrahimi: Q: Spartan-725: Will Hellgate take advantage of the Logitech G15's LCD screen like WoW does?
A: Yes.

To provide more detail, yes. Right now it's just some basic stats info, but we're going to be looking at adding lots of fun new stuff in the future.

[18:05] kaiserbus: Dr@keen: Do you need the DVD in your drive to play or can you play without it ?

A: Not for multiplayer, but possibley for single-player. Haven't had a chance to use a retail copy yet! :P
[18:05] aebrahimi: Q: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: What are the specs of the computers you are working on? Coding platforms, graphical workstations.... ?
A: I have two workstations: a Quad-core x64 Windows XP box with a 7900 and 3 GB RAM and a Vista x86 Dual-core box with an NVIDIA 8800 and an ATI 2900XT that gets interchanged.
[18:05] inruin: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: How old are you guys?

A: I'm the youngest at Flagship Studios and I just turned 21 on the 21st of October!
[18:06] kaiserbus: radu12345: There is also a bug where when you create your character and write with capital letters, you see your name exactly the opposite, lower-case. Are you able to fix it?

A: We noticed this, too. Expect a fix shortly.
[18:06] aebrahimi: Q: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: How old are you guys?
A: 26
[18:06] broper: Q: <|CF|>TeyRon: Certain Games in the past have had content released on retail disk but locked, Final Fantasy 11 and Phantasy Star universe to name a few, Does Hellgate:London have Locked content stored on the retail DVD but will become availible over time? also, Trick or Treat

A: Treat, please!

We didn’t lock anyone out of any content with Hellgate: London. There are a couple of art and sound things on the disk that we were already working on for our first multiplayer patch when we went gold that we left on to reduce our initial patch size. We didn’t keep anything from our players, though - we strove to deliver a full experience to both our stand alone and free online players with the extra content being just that - extra.

[18:06] broper: I am 42
[18:06] kaiserbus: Q: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: How old are you guys?

[18:07] kaiserbus: Geezy: In all MMORPGS, bots/gold farmers eventually become a problem. What is your stance on bots and gold farmers, and how is the game set up to deal with them?

A: If we told you, we'd have to kill you. ^_^ We have ways to take care of these things.
[18:07] aebrahimi: Q: Source|Eorlas: For the devs that play on console, do you prefer 360, PS3, Wii?
A: 360!
[18:07] wdmanegold: A: ps3!
[18:08] adissmc: radu12345: There is also a bug where when you create your character and write with capital letters, you see your name exactly the opposite, lower-case. Are you able to fix it?

[18:08] broper: Q: DarkLegacy(DL): What kinds of ideas does that Flagship team have in mind in terms of new Classes? Are they arlready being worked on or is there braing storming still going on?

A: We’re throwing around a lot of ideas, which is really fun for us because a lot of people are getting involved. Some of them are pretty crazy, so it will be interesting to see what we can accomplish.
[18:08] adissmc: A: The mouse and keyboard is the only true controller
[18:08] inruin: A: Sega Saturn! lol jk, 360 probably for hte online community, Heavenly Sword makes me like the PS3 but I just haven't gotten around to buying one. And well, Wii for those awesome nights when you aren't "coherent" enough to play 360 or PS3 ^_^
[18:09] broper: Q: Source|Eorlas: For the devs that play on console, do you prefer 360, PS3, Wii?
[18:09] broper: Yes
[18:09] dathedix: cG| PowMia: Will there be player emotes in HGL ? What are they and how will they work ? Are they graphics (character movement), audio and written text in game. Eg "Time to die" numeric shortcut from D2 , or more /dance ?
We will be eventually adding player emotes in HGL in the form of player animations that respond to slash (/dance) or menu driven commands.
[18:09] kaiserbus: Spartan-725: What kind of content caused the ESRB to give you an M rating?

A: According to our seal, "Violence, Blood and Gore, and Mild Language." There's nothing insanely crazy in the game. ^_^
[18:09] aebrahimi: Q: b8y: Nerd question: Vi or Emacs?
A: Vi, baby!

[18:11] kaiserbus: Kasanizo: Is there a way to download the game (buying it) and not by a box? And, is there a reason to keep being suscriber if you ended all game modes? And another question, I can't play the beta cause of my video card, i'll get a new one on 15th november, should i be able to play the beta then or i'll HAVE to buy the game or not playing it? <-- answer all of 1 of the questions, all are important to me D:

A: EA has the game available on their download service. We're constantly adding new thigns to the game, and subscribing will give you access to this content. The beta is over, so yeah, you'll need a copy of the game.
[18:11] kaiserbus: I like emacs more
[18:11] kaiserbus: btw
[18:11] adissmc: Kaiser, you're a heathen!
[18:12] kaiserbus: EMACS FTW
[18:12] inruin: [BRQ] SUBZ3R0: Are you guys currently in the same room?

[18:13] <erif(Kоммунистический Лорд) (Peon (Mute)) has entered the room>
[18:13] kaiserbus: [KOR]_Revelator: How will classes help each other out in cooperative multiplayer?

A: Some are better at long range, others at short range. Some have healing skills, other more offensive. And so on and so on. This vast variety of character combinations and skills can lead to so many ways to play the game.
[18:14] broper: Q: Kasanizo: Is there a way to download the game (buying it) and not by a box?

A: Yes - the game is available for digital download through EA’s online store. If you go to <http://www.hellgatelondon.com/> and click on the Buy NoW link in the lower left, it takes you there.

[18:14] aebrahimi: Q: b8y: With the rise of multicore do you guys use some of the modern higher level multi threading options such as OpenMP, or things like Building Blocks from Intel?
A: We're making use of multi-threading already with our file loading, particles, and wardrobe code. I doubt we'll use OpenMP. I personally am interested in looking into IBB further to take a more general approach to our multi-threading.
[18:14] thedish: Dr@keen: Ether and I are going to be "The Shining" twins
[18:14] broper: Q: Kasanizo: And, is there a reason to keep being suscriber if you ended all game modes?

We are going to be continually adding content, so if we’re making stuff you want to get, areas you want to explore, game modes you want to experience or having events and contest you want in on, the answer is yes. We’ll keep people up to date on what’s going on currently and also what’s in the queue.

[18:14] <dajken([SweT]Dajken) has left the room>
[18:14] broper: Q: Kasanizo: And another question, I can't play the beta cause of my video card, i'll get a new one on 15th november, should i be able to play the beta then or i'll HAVE to buy the game or not playing it?

By November 15th our grace period for Beta testers will have ended. I’m actually working on a big post to explain how this works, but basically Beta testers can keep playing on their client until November 7th.

[18:14] adissmc: radu12345: Are you planning on implementing special events with prizes, like Halloween and New Year's Day events ingame?

Yes, we're planning on doing themed content! Halloween content runs for this week, and then we've got a fun set of activites for Guy Fawkes Day. Other stuff is still in the planning stages, but keep an eye out for fun side-quests and items that you can do (or get)!

(Incidentally, All Hallow's Visage ROCKS THE HOUSE! - /want)
[18:15] aebrahimi: Bill, does the digital download include the movies?
[18:15] broper: Tat is an EXCELLENT question!
[18:15] inruin: colonelsanders64: Hey, I saw some info in the EULA (Yeah, some people read that) about a Lifetime Subscription. Whats the deal with that?

A: The lifetime subscription is an offer for those that preordered their copy of Hellgate: London. Not all regions have this available, but it is a single payment for a lifetime subscription (the game's lifetime not yours).
[18:15] adissmc: Geezy: With the release of Hellgate London, do you see a long extended vacation in your future? Or will you be too busy working on new content/expansions/games?

The two are not mutually exclusive
[18:15] dathedix: [Xfire] Supercop007: RYÅN: were people ever afraid to walk into your studio because of the absolutely creepy things you were working on?

I don't know about anyone being afraid to enter the office but I know my Dad's exwife annointed their computer with holy water after I showed my Dad some screenshots of the thigns I was working on one year when I was home for Christmas.
[18:15] aebrahimi: Thanks everyone! You guys freaking rule. I'm spent. Goodnight.
[18:16] adissmc: Bye everyone! Thanks for the great questions.
[18:16] thedish: Happy Halloween everyone!
[18:16] wdmanegold: Night everyone! Have fun tonight!

[18:16] inruin: Have a great Halloween everyone, I'm headed out also! Thanks for chiming in! Rock ON!
[18:16] broper: Thanks for the GREAT questions everyone. I wish we could stay on for a few more hours, but we've got a new game to take care of and some trick or treating to do!
[18:16] kaiserbus: Thanks guys/gals! Sorry if we didn't get to answer your questions. Happy Halloween! Be safe tonight, and see you online!!!!!! ^_^

[17:12] warlordfdc: I have been in the game since Alpha and have loved every minute of it. I was actually dissappointed when I got to the point I had to start asking players how to get to the next part of the quest line so I am looking forward to playing this weekend. My question is what were the biggest issues going from a game like Diablo to a game like Hellgate London? Also what gave you the idea for the switch to a FPS?
[17:12] radu12345: Firstly, it's an honour to be able to have a chance for my questions to be answered by you. Secondly, I would like to talk with one of the developers if it is possible. Personal information and others, I'd like to talk with anyone, but preferably the CEO of Flagship Studios. Is that possible? It might influence both me and you, and may I privately message one of them?
[17:12] mar1kk: Bill, whats the reason you left Blizzard to work on HG:L instead of working on something like Diablo 3?

[17:13] radu12345: 4. Do you think Hellgate: London's graphics are totally exceptional?

[17:13] starik: How many classes in total?
[17:13] bfo: Is there a part in the development that you have to start doing it all over again
[17:13] cuffinzero: holy crap i can't catch a single word..
[17:13] radu12345: 13. How long have you worked on the game? On average, how much did you work on the game, each day?
[17:13] killersquid2008: The site of longdon seems to make it seem like this will take place in other countries and cities. Will you release expansions in other cities?
[17:13] guldecz: Good day.
At first, I must notice, that my english is not so well, but I hope, that you will know, what I mean :-)

So first question, where and when the idea to create a such game as a Hellgate: London came from, and what was your first demands on this game ?

[17:13] nagergens: Will there be some sort of 'text' messages on the screen (or Journal that keeps track of your progress) to help those that have a hearing disadvantage to follow along and not miss out on 'important' information being giving or passed around?
[17:13] anubis90210: how did u get the whole idea of knights templar, demons from another realm scene????
[17:13] terrastriker: With games like Tabula Rasa releasing around the same time as Hellgate London, are you confident that your game will still strive and prosper?
[17:13] tpj: Why are mods locked in your weapons before the user clicks the 'v' button? Any comments on making the game not lock the mods until the window is closed?
[17:13] smdhell: What was the hardest thing about leaving Blizzard and making a new company and game?
[17:13] radu12345: 14. Who were the key developers to making this game successful?
[17:13] <tabrisde(N|A-Tabris) has left the room>
[17:13] hiru93: Is there going to be any expansions or a "Hellgate 2"?
[17:13] radu12345: 15. Do you think the userbase of Hellgate: London has reached its limit, or will it grow more in next few years?
[17:13] centront2: Will you be making a sequel?
[17:13] fragsheepy: You’ve made Flagship studios your business and Hellgate your item of sale so it’s all very official, but importantly did you have fun developing the game back at the studio?

[17:13] radu12345: 16. Will you bring constant updates to Hellgate: London?

[17:13] frosty21: When developing the sound effects for the game did you use classic zombie and monster sounds we hear a lot from movies and more, or is it an orignial score?
[17:13] radu12345: 19. How did you cooperate with each other when creating the game?
[17:13] vicious0000: Personally, the game reminds of the 1st release of City of Heroes. It was a lot of fun to play, but didn't have the depth to keep me interested in the long run. There are some obvious advantages with Hellgate London not requiring a monthly fee to play, but that lack of depth in an MMO is still an issue. (No PvP, crafting, guild bases/structures, limited character types, etc.) Are you planning on adding some of the more traditional MMO content (like the above) to the game?
[17:13] xsnipuhx: Which do you prefer: Bawls or Monster drinks?

[17:13] nagergens: Given that this is going to be a Diablo style action RPG, are you planning to allow gambling for "uniques" and "sets" as D2 did prior to 1.08 (IIRC, meaning with reasonable odds of getting the item)?
[17:13] <tajustinsane(≤FøC≥JustinSane) (Normal) has entered the room>

[17:13] masterpill: will there be any expansion to the game in the future?

[17:13] spartan564:
Now that the Hellgate: London has been launched,
what are your future plans in adding content to Hellgate: London?
[17:13] radu12345: 21. Are there any hacking possibilities out there? Both server-sided, and client-sided?
[17:13] sdistortion: Can we expect expansion packs, or full on sequels?
[17:13] trancerx84: Did you think of the movie "Starship Troopers" While creating the Hunter faction
[17:13] kennywwe: In germany you can`t sign up for the subscription, becausethe pay-system don´t work, when will this be fixed?
[17:14] lionzub: Will there be any extra content to download for the PC version, either through payment or otherwise ?

[17:14] <radu12345 () is now a member of group Peon (Mute)>
[17:14] ravenbro: Did you study any horror theory prior to making the game to give it a "spookyer" feel?
[17:14] frosty21: When developing the game, what made you decide London as the primary setting?
[17:14] uplink: During the Creation of the Game, Was it intended for DX10 play or was that later added into the game?
[17:14] yragorn: Are the skills balanced in the game? Or are they a bit overpowered?

[17:14] <2ndcsmloco(Loco) (Normal) has entered the room>
[17:14] masterpill: what will the play who finish the game do?
[17:14] deathmic: Honestly, was it a mistake/oversight, or purpose, that the demo didn't have a real end, but instead left many players looking for the Gate that was just removed, thus causing a lot of unnecessary frustration and bad vibes for the game?
[17:14] namingway: What are your plans for pvp? Are you going to have arena style combat similar to World of warcraft battlegrounds?



Can you give an aproximation as to when the first content patch is going to be released to subscribers?



When you make another faction what will it be?


How do you intend to keep players intrested in the end game content? Especially players that are used to playing MMOS 40-50 hours a week.

When do you get to start taking your vacations, and who gets to go first?



How do you feel about the feedback players have been given so far? Are you nervous that the game might not do as well as you hoped?



How many sales of the game were/are you expecting to attract at launch?



What would you like to say to the people who have no knowledge of the game or company that bash it simply because of EA?



How many players are the servers able to hold?



Are you going to box up the

[17:14] suicidecommando666: Out of all the places in the world to have Hellgate what drew you to the UK capital?
[17:14] jorishoogers: Why London?
[17:14] phoenix2100: What do you say to those people that are comparing Hellgate to the Diablo Franchise?
[17:14] mar1kk: Why is it playing in London? Do you think London is the most evil city in the world?
[17:14] dusk777: Hi, why did the UK not get the collectors edition or a dye kit preorder promotion? I feel you may have lost some sales because of it, especially as November is very crowded with quality releases
[17:14] fragsheepy: You’ve made Flagship studios your business and Hellgate your item of sale so it’s all very official, but importantly did you have fun developing the game back at the studio?

[17:14] <tradgedy12 (Normal) has entered the room>
[17:14] vicious0000: Today, Gamespy released a review of the single player portion of the game saying "...we're wondering how fulfilling it will be over the long haul." What do you have planned to add more depth or features to the game for both single and MMO play?
[17:14] darko84: Why did you choose London of all places as a starting point for your series?
[17:14] jameshs: From inside the beta, I found myself at a lucky stage where I was wearing mostly lengendarys and then some rares at level 18, even with a legendary weapon with some attachments I ‘could’ use, but require 10/7 willpower. At this state I just did NOT have enough stats to wear all the fabulous gear I was finding. Does this mean it’s intended to have +all gear at high levels to support yourself, or is there something implemented to allow better gear equipped? Or dare I ask are we supposed to be less equipped :O?

[17:14] muyloco14: Will Hellgate: London have expansions, similar to those of Diablo?
[17:14] nagergens: Will there be randomized bosses with random mods (with packs maybe?) in the randomized areas like D2? That or some equivalent randomization that would make the random monsters within areas have variable (and sometimes surprising) strength?

How are other cultures responing to the premise of the game?



[17:14] masterpill: will there be a place or arena for such purpose as pvp or events?
[17:14] anubis90210: how did u get the whole idea of knights templar, demons from another realm scene????
[17:14] operationman: Many people are skeptical about the fee charge to have extra content in the game, do you think that this is a good idea to charge extra even when someone already purchased the game?
[17:14] thedafox: Hey guys, Thanks for perticipating in this chat, I have a Bunch of questions coming for you guys. I hope you are ready and fast on the keyboard!

[17:15] nagergens: What is your current concept of how the "endgame" will play out? Will a dedicated player be able to obtain the most powerful items in the game and complete all (or almost all) of the content solo, or will you need a little help from your friends?
[17:15] masterpill: what will you do now that the game has been release?

[17:15] tpj: There have been a few posts regarding a supposed 'guild cap' (limit on the number of characters in a guild). The Amazon Basin is a very large international guild. We will easily have 200+ people in this game. Is there a guild cap? If so, what is it? Why would there be a guild cap at all?
[17:15] darkfish00: It was announced that the PvP system will be mainly limited to duals or a PvP on/off switch. How is the PvP on/off going to work in the heavily isntanced systems? Are there any plans in mind for a more hardcore PvP game later on?

[17:16] lilasiansk8ur: yeah well the people arent listenin i think
[17:16] starik: Isn't it too easy to play as the classes that use machine guns? For people who know how to play FPSs, in the demo it was 100% easier than the blademaster

[17:18] sandalhat: The problem with alot of games lately, is that once they are developed, the developers stop releasing patches for them, well you continue to offer support, patches, and feedback long after the game is released, the reason whyB I ask is the fact that the number of this type of attitude towards the consumer is increasing.

[17:19] bloodbulletsnipe: Ive heard rumors about another extra sub-class for each class within this game along with you need to be subbed to the game for this feature to be enabled.

[17:19] trancerx84: I agree with ryan
[17:19] mar1kk: Why is Hellgate: London not using the UNreal Engine 3 which is so popular right now...and looks much beter
[17:19] nagergens: What is your current concept of how the "endgame" will play out? Will a dedicated player be able to obtain the most powerful items in the game and complete all (or almost all) of the content solo, or will you need a little help from your friends?

[17:19] phoenix2100: Is there any chance of going back to Blizzard to work on Diablo 3?
[17:19] 2ndcsmloco: Why are there no large two handed weapons in the game?
[17:19] thebou: Bill Manegold
[17:19] jameshs: Having seen and played the roster of classes available so far in the game, it feels like you have set-up a selection consisting of - magic, melee, guns. Each with a defensive play style and an offensive play style. However from seeing a good summoner in action it seems they are capable of an extremely large amount of damage only a few levels into the game. Just to throw some figures, I believe its possible to have 21 imps active at one time all fighting for you (may be wrong/changed). Was it your intention to have a defensive and offensive version of gameplay and if so can you elude me some more on how many defensive options the summoner has, rather than having an almighty army at his/her dispense?

[17:19] eorlas: What do you guys like to do in your spare time?
[17:19] cuffinzero: *sobe* so many spam questions...
[17:19] teyron: Certain Games in the past have had content released on retail disk but locked, Final Fantasy 11 and Phantasy Star universe to name a few, Does Hellgate:London have Locked content stored on the retail DVD but will become availible over time? also, Trick or Treat
[17:19] <lilnoob2 (Normal) has entered the room>
[17:19] jorishoogers: Why London?
[17:19] kalasmongo: Will you make Hellgate to include Tactical Cooperation, like taking cover as a hunter is a really important thing
[17:19] dajken: My experiance from EA is not the best suport.. How will you work for all the gamers?.. Btw,, i really love D2 LOD
[17:19] ragnarok15: how do you plan on keeping people playing this game, do you plan on having patches or expansions that add more than just bug fixes?
[17:19] frosty21: How did you decide to add "elite content" for paying customers rather than just going with the classic Diablo style?
[17:19] nightmarezx: I see that there are a lot of questions and references to Diablo 2 although I've never played it myself. Will there be things within the game that I won't understand?
[17:19] hiru93: Is the top level goingto stay on 50, or will it higher?
[17:19] <nomisgnos (Normal) has entered the room>
[17:19] killersquid2008: Will expansions feature other cities that have Hellgates opening up?

[17:19] anubis90210: how did u get the whole idea of knights templar, demons from another realm scene????
[17:19] thedafox:
What seperates Hellgate London from other games of its type?
[17:19] lionzub: One of the flaws that I noticed about HGL is the little variety in mission types... kill, find something, talk to someone etc. Was this noticed by the development team? Was anything added since beta stages?
[17:19] kalasmongo: Will there be Winter events? Like a special Santa suit or such?
[17:19] trancerx84: Did the movie "Star Ship Troopers" enter your mind while desiging the hunter faction?
[17:19] darkfish00: why did you settle on the current sub option over ones such as guild wars (no sub, paid expantions) or the traditional MMO like WoW or EVE?
[17:19] jameshs: On the beta of hellgate, playing as an engineer I found it a sheer frustration getting my drone to do what even made sense when using specific weaponry. I thought it might be a good idea to have a long ranged explosive weapon on, but this resulted in the drone firing in what seemed to be the most insane directions imaginable based on where it was moving to. It almost felt as if the drone wasn’t even targeting the mobs, but rather just knowing were they where, making it a pain. Can you explain how the drones are handled in that sort of manner regarding how they target, or if I have simply missed something important?

[17:20] s0subz3r0: Will it be possible to add mod-content to the game?
[17:20] nagergens: Given that this is going to be a Diablo style action RPG, are you planning to allow gambling for "uniques" and "sets" as D2 did prior to 1.08 (IIRC, meaning with reasonable odds of getting the item)?
[17:20] dbrevik: [SweT]Dajken -> EA is not support for us. we do our own support
[17:20] bfo: The game took so much time to develop, was it hard to keep the players waiting?
[17:20] thedafox:


Hellgate London requires skill, and is not some mindless WoW-clone. What gave you inspiration to make this game aside from Diablo 2?
[17:20] yragorn: What gave you the motivation to start creating the game?
[17:20] tradgedy12: will there be an expansion-type update, in which the plot is extended?
[17:20] fragsheepy: You’ve made Flagship studios your business and Hellgate your item of sale so it’s all very official, but importantly did you have fun developing the game back at the studio?

[17:20] unknowzer0: Have you kept some feature from other games to make you game or you created it completely with you own ideas?
[17:20] nintynick: How will hackers be dealt with in HGL?
[17:20] ragnarok15: what kind of improvements does this game have over other hack and slash games?
[17:20] <thedafox (DaFox) is now a member of group Peon (Mute)>
[17:20] dbrevik: [BRQ]SUBZ3R0 = NO
[17:20] <scarfacedude(!rufus) (Normal) has entered the room>
[17:20] nagergens: Given that this is going to be a Diablo style action RPG, are you planning to allow gambling for "uniques" and "sets" as D2 did prior to 1.08 (IIRC, meaning with reasonable odds of getting the item)?
it in two parts.

[174] nanderman: I like Dusk777's question.
[174] anolimus: -------------------
Hullo Flagship!
First a question for Ether or perhaps Trish or anyone else who'd like to answer:
Ether, as Art Producer, and Trish, as Director of PR and Marketing, why did you decide to stick with the cross concept as a symbol of holiness in the war versus the demons? True, that's not the only symbol you use (Cabalists definately don't have much holiness in them, but they still rock). But doesn't this all hurt your budget? I mean, wouldn't some people get offended? And that's where I address all of you. In the future, will you stay true to your idea of the game as it is now (which is awesome btw) when even more money becomes involved.

[175] blacknightwalker: what's the commercial goal you have with this game, or is the main motivation to have fun?
[175] vicious0000: Personally, the game reminds of the 1st release of City of Heroes. It was a lot of fun to play, but didn't have the depth to keep me interested in the long run. There are some obvious advantages with Hellgate London not requiring a monthly fee to play, but that lack of depth in an MMO is still an issue. (No PvP, crafting, guild bases/structures, limited character types, etc.) Are you planning on adding some of the more traditional MMO content (like the above) to the game?
[175] ethervonlubs: #-(OO۩Tony Briere۩ OO)-#: I've heard about a ONE TIME payment for subscribers. Is this true

[18:15] starlightguy12: I was wondering if you could make a area/map to have a PvP area where a guild can fight for control like (a castle) in a level and other guilds and PvP can/must take the (castle from the guild holding it.

And in that fight it does not matter what time of the day or week you play its up for attack all the time even if the guild that holds the (castle is gone or has ownly a few members to hold the place) giving this (castle) a place that is total wanted by any guild.
I think this would fuel the need for PvP to join a guild or for guilds to talk with each other and plan to hold or take the fort add yet another layer of game play to the all ready great play
And my favorite I forgot is for people to hire out to get a much need item or just for fun of attacking a castle

I don't mean a area the is just like a battle ground i mean more of area where you see a bluiding being held by

[18:16] latinlegacy: Goodnight Amir!
[18:16] starlightguy12: I don't mean a area the is just like a battle ground i mean more of area where you see a bluiding being held by a group of people that are trying to protect something like they would in real life. I would love that. Omost a mid-evil battle assulting a castle and then trying to hold it for as long as possible and be able to have recuits help as the guild grows and slowly you become a army or what even but by the other hand the other guilds would be wanting to break your reign on that (castle) so it would be a very fast play area/map where if you go to bed you could wake up to find that your guild has been force to the back of the (castle) and the other army/guild is in control of most of the (castle) or even the whole (castle).

And this whole question is it possible for you guys to make?
