So.... EB or Jack? Which is your personal fave? [UK] That's a toughie. Jack wins for being the big, bad god of Halloween but Easter Bunny has a pretty badass mecha suit.
~~
If we don't reach the 7.5bil mark, will you tell what the item was we could have unlocked? I don't think I couldn't know, it would eat me up inside. [UK] Can probably do that, but I'm not too worried about not hitting that tier. There's still plenty of time and gold out there.
~~
...Trick or treat?[UK] I prefer treats. If you're asking whether it will be in this event though, the answer is yes. Shops will have ToT and new NPC costumes just as in years past. We unfortunately won't have ToT in Towns 2, but we will have a Flash game to give out an alternate set of ToT items.
just to clarify are thes duplicates of the shop set or a second set of items? [UK] There will be two sets. One for the Shops and one of the game.
~~
How much Gcash will be involved in the event? O___o
Also how much involvement will there be with TOWNs?We getting some awesome Halloween Manga? 8D
[UK] There will be power-ups/potions available for gold and GCash for those who want to get through things a bit faster. Everything will still be achievable and playable without spending anything though.
Towns 2 won't be used for this event. All of the Battle gameplay will take place in Forums. We will have a new event-themed Flash game but it won't be required for the main gameplay.
Yep, multiple mini-comics. The first will be coming very soon.
~~
grombie skin?[UK] Who knows!
~~
Can you tell us when the pre-event ends?
Or perhaps some hint as to what the final goal is for the pre-event? [UK] It will end when the event begins which will be in the second half of the month.
~~
Will you tell me how many people have donated the 100 mil to get a chance at getting into the Manga so far?[UK] I'm going to keep the specifics under wraps for now, sorry!
~~
Will the event go on past the Halloween date? [UK] Don't know yet. It will run for two weeks from when it begins so if that extends after Halloween, then yes.
~~
Can we get a date for when the Halloween event starts/gold sink ends?[UK] Later this month, no specifics just yet I'm afraid.
~~
Now for my question, I'm interested in picking the "cleric" class because I like playing healing classes in games. How vital will the cleric's power of healing be to the overall battle system event?[UK] With all the attacking that will be going on, healing will definitely come in handy.
~~
WILL THERE EVER BE A GLORIOUS PALADIN CLASS?[UK] Who knows, for now it'll just be the main 5 but that could change if things go well enough.
~~
will we be able to see the face behind the easter-bunny-mecha-suit mask this halloween?[UK] Perhaps, perhaps not. You'll just have to see!
~~
Will we be able to switch classes?[UK] We only just decided this but class switching will be possible. However, during the event it will require a cash potion and switching will wipe the existing stats that you had for the previous class.
THAT IS CRUMMY!
I was hoping for a -reach level 10, switch to another class if you want, or back to any of your other level 10 classes.[UK] Unfortunately, the implementation I had time to make for the event was such that every user could only be one class. I'm hoping that if things go well, I can make it to where each user can have an instance of each class to switch between. For the event itself though, I only have the resources to make it a single instance.
~~
will more classes (and sinks) be coming with future events?[UK] I think more classes would be fun but only the future knows what will really happen. If things go well like I'm hoping then there's plenty of potential for new classes.
~~
1. The Cleric class says it specializes in healing others through magic. Will they be able to heal themselves as well?
2. Will people be able to change classes after a class is selected?
3. Will this be a sort of "free for all brawl" with two sides hacking it out or will people be encouraged to form parties? Some classes look like they're more independent while others seem like they'd be better as part of a group, so that's why I'm wondering.
4. Will people who start off with the 2x boost to health and energy always be better than a non-boosted person at the same level, or will the difference between the two sort of scale back over time?[UK] 1) You'll be able to heal yourself with potions so I think it makes sense that Clerics will be able to heal themselves with their skills as well.
2) See my previous response for more in-depth answer but yes, at a cost.
3) It will be mainly free-for-all but I'd imagine those who team up into small groups will be able to hold their own in some situations.
4) Over time, the difference in stat levels will probably be less obvious so the increased health/energy will eventually be less of a factor, but it will definitely make a difference at the beginning.
~~
I can't wait to see the battle system. Will it be forum based? [UK] Yep, entirely in the forums.
~~
One more question, is this battle system going to be a standalone flash space? Or will it take place in towns/rally/some flash space that's already up an running? Or is it just in the forums?[UK] It will happen entirely in the forums. No Flash involved.
~~
Will any more NPCs related to the Halloween event be posting in the GCD?[UK] I'd guess Jack/EB will be lurking around more the closer it gets to the big event.
~~
I assume there will probably be wing stickers as a daily incentive, but if we can't log in every single day of the event will we still be able to finish tasks/make achievements?[UK] Yep, wing stickers will be back as usual. There will be a wide range of items/achievements so you should be able to earn something even if you can't put all your time into the event.
~~
Any chance you could add a personal 200k donation level item?[UK] For this one, I don't think I'll be adding any other tiers since I need to concentrate on finishing the actual event development. Lower tier rewards are something I'll remember for future sinks like this though.
~~
How much GC will be required to play?[UK] None!
~~
About the class battle system, can you tell us the numerical stats of each class? (if they exist) I'm curious about the Rogue in particular - the Luck stat seems to be the most unusual one in that it doesn't seem to correlate with an exact HP, Attack, Defense, etc. [UK] Class specifics will be revealed when the event goes live, sorry!
~~
Could you add a different donation level if players donated the items for them?
will there be any New Halloween Alchemy recipes? [UK] I don't believe we'll have alchemy involved.
~~
will this vaguely resemble the Dark Elves vs Vampires in terms of forum event? [UK] It will be the same in that two teams have the ability to attack and heal each other. Beyond that, the actual combat is a bit more complex and there are no Flash requirements.
~~
Are we ever going to get a halloween item that's in fact a dress?[UK] Uhh, dunno actually. I haven't seen what the items are yet.
~~
Since the site is centered, will the background for that be changed? [UK] Uh, I don't think the background will get a change for this event.
~~
If the battle system is well received, will more classes be added after the event?[UK] Perhaps. Can't really say for sure though.
~~
Will there be an adequate amount of instructions of how to play, for those of us who don't really know or have played in a "battle system?"[UK] Yeah, we'll have a "How-to" section on the event page.
~~
I was also wondering, you said that stats will be wiped if you switch classes. Will people who donated the 1m for bonuses lose those bonuses if they switch? [UK] Mm, good question. My initial reaction is yes but it would be possible to apply it to the new class as well so it's something I'll think on.
~~
How long will this event go on for, or in other words, when will it start and when will it end? [UK] It'll start at some point in the second half of the month and run for two weeks. Specific start/end dates aren't available yet.
~~
Will each team have a "home base" subforum within the event subforum like some past events?Will ToT in the shops be up before the main event?
[UK] Yep and probably not, it'll most likely go up at the same time.
~~
Would the use of the battle system in the future mean we could get more armors and weapons, maybe event related, possibly on the side?
Can we get skimpy armors?[UK] Yep, it opens up a lot of opportunities.
~~
If you make a new class in the future, would people have to pay for the Cash Potion? Or would we get a free switch, if we wanted?[UK] That's something I don't really have the answer to yet since it'll likely depend on how things go with the event.
~~
If the battle system is received well enough, do you think that in the future we will be able to form groups of players like a team. Similar to Clans in Zomg and Guild and WoW?[UK] That'd be an interesting twist to things and definitely something to consider.
~~
will the NPC interaction (if any) be automated, like in the Valefor mini-event, or will it be more like the Zurg event--i.e. slightly more personalized for groups/factions/etc.? [UK] Both! I think...
~~
Will Zombie Gambino ever happen?[UK] Ha, that'd certainly be interesting...
~~
Any plans for a thread where users can battle against the staff, mods, and FAs during the event? People sure do get a kick out of interacting with the colored names during events.
Also, will the event items we'll be getting for playing the Battle System be all Halloween based or will there be some new Easter Bunny related stuff too?
Oh and the big question I know some people are wondering about, are you guys going to put out an event related bundle with those recolored event items like you talked about after the whole summer event bundle fiasco happened?[UK] Staff and their epic powers of doom will be back again by popular demand.
I believe there will be items for each team.
Uhh, I don't know of releasing any of the event items after the event is over.
~~
Is Jack seriously in love with Sasha? Is this going to be explained in the manga or event? [UK] I don't think Sasha is going to have much of a part in this event.
~~
If people miss out on this event and the battle system is used again, will they be impossibly behind everyone else?[UK] I'm going to do what I can to make it so that future instances won't mean users are out of options when it comes to playing. Whether that's limiting the levels that can be attacked or not I'm not sure yet. It's a decision we'll have to come to if we go to implement this in the future.
~~
Kenny will there be zombies, werewolves, witches and vampires in the event?[UK] I believe there will only be Jack, Easter Bunny, their minions, and all of you.
~~
For Achievements, does each class of battle roles have their own achievements, or are they all nice and just achievements for everyone? ^_^[UK] Too specific!
wink ~~
Will this event wind up with a 'Winner Takes All' type of ending where the winning/losing items wind up soulbound? Because that would suck (also I still can't get rid of my potatoverseer or sentinel skin)[UK] No soulbound items.
~~
Sorry if this was asked already. How many achievements will there be?[UK] No specific number but more than 1?
~~
WILL THE USERS AFFECT THE OUTCOME?[UK] Yeah, the outcome is based on the actions of each team.
~~
Who made Jack's new look?! I love it![UK] Offhand I'm not sure, it's pretty badass though.
~~
I wonder, will wing stickers be available and will there be stuff in the wing sticker shop? (If you can't answer, is cool!)
Also, are there likely to be themed flash areas for this halloween event we can just hang out in?[UK] Yep, wing stickers will be up with the launch of the event and there will probably be some items added to the shop for the event.
No themed areas as far as I know but we will have a new themed Flash game.
~~
Will Santa be making an appearance in the battle between his bro4life Jack and his childhood bully the Easter Bunny?[UK] I don't think Santa is making an appearance in this event.
~~
I understand that one of the classes is Rogue. Since you didn't have an archer class, will we get something like archery added to the Rogue class?[UK] Definitely something to consider.
~~
Will we see the vampire wonder twins this year?[UK] I'd guess, no.
~~
Will past event items from 03 or later years ever be re-released?[UK] Dunno really. Maybe a couple up in Flynn's Plunder?
~~
Is EB vs Jack really the plot? What about the whole Demigod thing? Where is that going?[UK] The plot is a continuation of Easter and Summer so yeah, it is the climax of Easter Bunny's quest to get revenge against Jack.
Not sure about the main storyline, I used this alternate story to fit with the events I wanted to make.
~~
Um will any characters die off? [UK] That's far too spoilerish.
~~
Will new attacks or anything else be unlocked as you level up?[UK] I'd like to see that happen, yeah.
~~
WIll there be a top 10 leaderboard like past events?
and will the world map ever be used for anything again, or is it just kind of hanging around for nostalgia. [UK] I plan on having leaderboards, yeah.
World Map? Hmm....
~~
Will store trick or treating start before the event? Or when the event begins?
Also if you choose mage class [this might been answered sorry for reasking if it has] how will magic be replenished? [UK] It'll start when the event starts.
All classes will use the energy stat to determine how frequently they're attacking/healing/etc. Mage's attack/heal strength will come from their magic stat level.
