Q&A: Post Your Questions! (December)

mb2love, If you have a high enough intellect I believe, viewing the description of the mob, at the bottom it will tell you if you will be able to kill it easily, or if you will likely die, etc.  Granted I don't think that system really takes in all factors like weapon skills and stuff, but it seems to work for the most part.

I ignore your attempted to insult me ("mb2love, If you have a high enough intellect") , and replay , NO when I'm viewing a description I DO NOT see if I am able to kill a mob. (maybe I need some skill for that option to appear).

That was no insult - if your character has a high Intelligence, you will see at the bottom of your target's description whether or not it will be a difficult or easy fight.

In the arena there are large statues, a couple have a floating sphere near outstretched hands.  Is the floating piece of the statue held up with magic (not asking if the statue is supposed to be a mage)?  If so, who cast the spell?  Also, when masonry is implemented will we have the ability to use magic in a similar fashion?

  sorry , I thought you were talking about me and not about my character 
sometimes it's hard to tell 
no hard feelings

I've seen that every race likes a different type of food, and I've read that if not now but in the future the food will give you some boosts but
will there be a point in the game were you will be HAVE to eat food to survive/live ? , if so how will it be done when you will be offline ?

I would like to see (if I missed - very sorry, then I looked in the wrong places) which developers are reliable for which part of development, who should be contacted in case of a bug fixing contribution. -- I know, during the last year I learned a few developers, but I am not yet sure who in which department is a good "first contact", and who in which department will finally decide. And it must have happened several times that I told a few developers about fixes I contributed, but I did not see them applied until today.

Pending and forgotten fixes for known issues are a quite concerning issue from my point of view. It shows to me that the project planning and communication inside departments, and between departments, may not work at its optimum.

The bugtracker is a tool which should help to avoid that. But I am not really convinced that it is the optimal tool at the moment. A reason could, of course, be that I only see half of the features - I hope that registered developers can use its features successfully to manage and schedule tasks.

What animals are present in Yliakum?
A list of animals, starting from small birds - through wild ground animals - monsters - and ending on animals used by people to produce wool, milk and for transporting ways.
What are their physical abilities, habbits, appearance, is their anatomy and body balanced in the right way?
A short information, something what everybody knows, a common knowledge. Detailed information is probably going to be in in-game books, like it is already.

Will mounts be  put ingame later on down the line?
Secondly...
How will this be handled? Race spoecific or general animals with mountable features?
and finnally
if mounts are included what would a Kran ride?

"Uuuhmm... is that a boulder... on the back of a butterfly?"

Well Ok, over exaggeration but you see what I mean.

^^
from what ive gathered we are having mounts
anyways.
The Progresssion points system is that really going to stay.
if it is it will need to be enhanced ALOT atm it is so unrealistic.
Have the devs got any ideas for future Skill enhancement

1. how many/what kind of cities\towns are you planing to make in the future ? (1-3 years).
2. there are a lot of empty places in the game, like only grass for "miles" and some trees , how do you plan to fill those places ?
3. it's very hard to get from city to city as we don't have roads, are you planing to make some roads too ?

thanks in advance.
