I had a chance to join the VIP test for press and the GameMasters were kind enough to answer some of my questions
SlowExtasy: Was it fun to join in c9 development ?
[GM]INDOPA: Yes ^^, But it's still need a lot to do it.
SlowExtasy: Will it be posible for global c9Seal users to effect overall c9 development ?
[GM]INDOPA: of course!!! that is localization we will develop what users say, it will be different from korea except for main story line and content up until 9th continent.
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Would want back perfect bosses and the original difficulty KR C9 had in open beta.
SlowExtasy: Lots of users interested about your CashShop plans, Will it be more or less like KR version ?
[GM]INDOPA: Still discusing, sensetive issue. Lots of users have an imppression about webzen = Pay 2 Win, we don't want that.
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Really hope it to be like korean one just without 1 month per new costume .
SlowExtasy: I suppose development team of c9 is difrent webzen teams (SUN,MU,Archlord) ?
[GM]INDOPA: They are diferent, c9 studio is cloud 9 studio
SlowExtasy (thoughts): i suppose we can put aside our fears of Pay2Win then
SlowExtasy: Are you planing to add mentoring system ?
[GM]INDOPA: Yes, system where you get reward helping out beginners.
SlowExtasy: And Honor system as well ?
[GM]INDOPA: Ok
SlowExtasy (thoughts): i suppose that meant yes :P
SlowExtasy: How about other language translations ? are they planned?
[GM]INDOPA: We're planing to perfect the english translation until end of Febuary, and start other ones in March.
SlowExtasy: Any planned language ?
[GM]INDOPA: Which users will like to have "Not decided yet"
SlowExtasy (thoughts): So go go everyone ^_^ i personally would want to hear KR/JP voices .
SlowExtasy: What about extra servers if there will be latancy issues ? Are you planing to add Arabian/Asian/European countriess ?
[GM]INDOPA: At start only 2 decided, America/Europe but maybe we will add more for example : Hongkong, Singapore
SlowExtasy (thoughts): T_T i wanna play on 1 server with all my friends hope there will be some kind of merge and just sperate channels for pvp arena or smth .
SlowExtasy: Have you tried Joypad ?
[GM]INDOPA: Of course, however main issue is skills, there just to many of them, not sure how we can handle them, and at the moment view point is not fixed.
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Users lets support them with giving them ideas
SlowExtasy: Have you ever watched 3D tv ? and do you planing to add 3D in c9 ?
[GM]INDOPA: Yes, We have lot's of plans what to add in c9, 3D is one of them, but users who decides the priority of updates
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Ahhh does no one wants to see the assassin's feet in their face or illusionst invisible blades i just would love to standing and watching how my party members dying from player killers
SlowExtasy: What about character slots ? Will be there any posibility to expand them ?
[GM]INDOPA: We have already expanded from 8 slots to 12, we will see if future incresment needed.
SlowExtasy: So everything in user hands ?
[GM]INDOPA: Right!!!
SlowExtasy (thoughts): I want 16+ to create every char +2 elems for every stance .
SlowExtasy: Is any difficulty increase is planned ?
[GM]INDOPA: Well, there will be "Raid", system for harder difficulties in the future, but other dungeons.
SlowExtasy: Heard of it but not sure what is it ? More like Arena or simple Dungeons ?
[GM]INDOPA: You know the party quest ? Party quests are some part of "Raid" system, Hard.
SlowExtasy (thoughts): I suppose he meant the difficulty of completing them but it's a nice hint ^_^.
SlowExtasy: Can i ask about in game recorder ? Is there posibility that you will add FullHD resolution for it ?
[GM]Gauri: We have repoted the issue to the studio. We can't tell you for sure, bugs are priority issue at the moment.
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Uhh i hope it will be available as soon as possible T_T i love in game recorder ^_^. No UI FTW ^_^
SlowExtasy: Are you planing to release Fansite Kit for websites ?
[GM]Samuel: Fansite kit for sure
SlowExtasy (thoughts): Want to get my hands on that pictures, etc... :P
I really enjoyed talking to c9 GameMasters and i really hope they will have no problems with development. And huge request to everyone, make voting polls, make topics on what you want to add in c9 what you wantt to see 1st and so on im sure it will help developers a lot .
