Résumé de la séance de chat entre H. Nystrom et la communauté de Mortal Online

<Balkin> HenrikNystrom: if you use a skill to much will it slow down the amount it raises
<HenrikNystrom> balkin, the closer to mastering the skill the slower the process is yes, but this rate is depending on what kind of skill

<H2Os> Henrik can you update us on the crafting system? How is it progressing?
<HenrikNystrom> H2Os, the minigame is still a way from be implemented into the game, thou we whave the more basic crafting system in place on the player side, im not sure when we add it to the beta thou

<Winterspree> Henrik Nyström: Has the buyer of nr.1 Loot bag answered anyhting about the free beer, and will you have any open evning for people to come at that time?
<HenrikNystrom> Winterspree, he said he will maybe give that beer night to a guild friend of his closer to sweden

<arcsur> henrik: what about world population? what is you plan on pupulating the world with killable mobs, and populating the towns with NPCs, how "living" the world will be NPC vise?
<HenrikNystrom> arcsur, we now have 2 very good AI guys dedicated on our npcs/mobs, they are working on some pretty cool, and unique stuff for a mmorpg

<Bartillo> speedgrass and speedtree 5 will be in MO
<HenrikNystrom> bartillo, speedtree 5.0 is not being implemented by epic games us, when they ahve it in place and it works as intended we will evaluate it one more time before we add it in MO as well
<HenrikNystrom> speedtree 5.0 includes speedgrass

<DrWaffles> HenrikNystrom I keep having a problem with rendering thread errors in towns, is this going to be fixed in the patch today?
<HenrikNystrom> DrWaffles, ya the 2 upcoming patches we have now will solve hopfully all or most client crashes, like rendering, out of memory crashes

<Telkon> Henrik: it has been stated that there will not be classic "quests" in MO. What tools will you give players (aside from an awesome basic game) to make their own quests / storys?
<HenrikNystrom> telkon, well there will be major world quests, and quests in other forms, what we call tasks, you can allways sell "rat ears" to the shaman trader in village x or so to get new players going if they dont know what to do, then the world events and epic creatures is another interesting event for the players

<phratello> HenrikNystrom. Like are they real languages? How will other races speech appear to non-speakers? How does one aquire the skills required to learn another language. How long does it take?
<HenrikNystrom> phratello, you wont understand the other races language if you havent learned the language, the more you know in the skill the closer to a right translation you will see
<HenrikNystrom> also finding items/skills/spells etc will be shown in diff languagfes meaning you cannot learn them or understand them without language skills

<Bix> HenrikNystrom: What about simple navigation tools? Maps and a compass??

<Artorius> Henrik; How can we (fans) help SV and MO beside buying the game right now ?
<HenrikNystrom> Artorius, well, support our dev, help us repporting errors etc overall, and maybe start sspreading the word over the net, we will need players to support the game aftar all, and help us in the forums, thats one important tool for us all

<pluie> HenrikNystrom will you show some video or screenshot with speedtree soon ???
<HenrikNystrom> pluie, no, not till we are further in that evaluation

<Winterspree> Henrik Nyström: Anything about God Mechanic, will it be in at release, ore later on?
<HenrikNystrom> Winterspree, we have a few god things in the plans in the near future yes, but a more complexed version of it will probably go in later as well, This area is on mats table a lot, I just have to make sure they dont interfear in a wrong way with pvp

<Mephizto> <%HenrikNystrom> Will you be able to enter all buildings later on or will they only be decorations like they are now? For example in the desert village.
<HenrikNystrom> Mephizto, there will allways be a few decoration houses, but overtime when we have time to go into that area we will slowly convert them into real hosues you can enter or break into

<Winterspree> Henrik Nyström: Will there be any (many?) spells other than combat spells. e.g., spells that changes the enviroment?
<HenrikNystrom> Winterspree yes

<niluX_> <%HenrikNystrom>Well mo have an huge rp potential , will you had features only for rp ?
<HenrikNystrom> nilux, im not sure, there are so many areas indeed that will be a very good place for rp players,

<[MotGD]hemo> Question: how long until a guld system is implemented?
<HenrikNystrom> hemo, we thought about putting in the guilkd system now, but we would need to create a fake system we had to throw away after we have our houses in place, the guild system is build opon house system

<Campana> I think people will be roleplaying in MO just by playing the game, whether they intend to or not
<HenrikNystrom> campana right

<pluie> HenrikNystrom there is a pretty much well done hunting system with track and animal going away from you in the game "the hunter", will we have that kind of hunting system in MO, or it will be a basic fighting system with animals ?
<HenrikNystrom> pluie, oh yes, there will be different mobs / animals you really need to hunt to get their meat/resources, we are working on that

<Bartillo> hey henrik, robes covering armor ever? like UO.
<HenrikNystrom> bartillo, I think so yes, we are still working on a few issuyes regarding clothes tabs

<Artorius> Question, about range, how far can we see other players in MO ?
<HenrikNystrom> Artorius, not sure, we have a long player distance at this point, but it comes down to performance as well, we could very well tune it per area as well to get best possible performance

<Soap-On-A-Ropelight> HenrikNystrom: will you be able to destroy player made buildings, towns, what about developer included towns and buildings?
<HenrikNystrom> soap, yes you will be able to destroy player made houses/cities, but its a long and hard process if you are not in war with them, then its easier

<cathead> not sure if this has been asked before, but is it planned to be able to look at your own character in 3rd person camera view at all or will the view always be restricted to 1st person?
<HenrikNystrom> cathead it will allways be 1 person
<HenrikNystrom> cathead, its developed around 1 person for years now, theres so many reasons why its 1person, you could read about them in some interviews on the net

<Soap-On-A-Ropelight> HenrikNystrom: will the player screen eventually show you a model of your character so you can see how badass your new weapon/armor setup looks?

<HenrikNystrom> pham some yes

<Tur> Henrik Nystrom Are there spells or ways hindering movement? Like magic walls or roots or traps?

<HenrikNystrom> but there is offten a counter way to these effects

<ARCSUR> henrik can you say any words about training skills? as its marginal in this kind of MMOs, how do you plan to stop people from macroing?
<HenrikNystrom> ARCSUR, there wont be a need of macroing as we wont have skills to grind like that. the "grind" skills is diff in MO

<niluX_> Henrik : Well it's ambitious , but how much is done for a game who will be release in the next 4months
<HenrikNystrom> nilux, dont forget as I allways state on irc, when discussing with you here, this is a chance for you to ask anything and I answer the best way we can, but many questions are indeed features after release, not to be finished in Q4
<HenrikNystrom> but there is also features finished but not yet in the game

<cgi701> Henrik: what about the local business , there will be local auction houses or something like it ? (I hate the /say trading)
