Warhammer Alliance Interviews Jeff Skalski About 1.3.2!

DoranM — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:30:55 GMT

WarhammerAlliance.com has posted a recent interview with Jeff Skalski about the progression of WAR over the last year and things coming in 1.3.2 patch.

Here's a look at the recent Jeff Skalski Interview from WarhammerAlliance.com:

As WAR's one-year anniversary rolls around, there's a lot about the game that has gone well, a lot that has not gone as planned, and a lot to come in the future. Warhammer Alliance caught up with Producer Jeff Skalski to talk turkey about WAR over the past year, as well as get some tidbits and teases about what's coming in the 1.3.2 patch.

Tell us a little bit about how specifically RvR has changed over the year since WAR came out. What do you think were the best changes and adjustments made to the system? What are the current issues you're observing in RvR besides what's already been mentioned/addressed (City Siege and Keep Taking)?

Since our launch in Sept ’08, we’ve revisited our RvR mechanic every patch by improving the experience, expanding it, and really just reacting to our players’ concerns along the way. For me, some of the RvR feature improvements we’ve added that I feel very positive about are the RvR token system, RvR Ward rewards, Land of the Dead Purge mechanic, recent city siege improvements along with how city instances get populated, the second Keep ramps, RvR status updates (icons, timers and zone control detail bar) and finally being able to queue for Scenarios from anywhere. Now, we couldn’t do everything, but we still have several more cool ideas to spice up the RvR playing field. As we finesse and introduce new things to the RvR experience, our main goal is to make sure we are encouraging players to magnetize towards each other and fight. Those are the fun moments we want players to never forget.

I personally want to thank Avien for his hard work and dedication in writing out these transcripts. He has been the brute force behind getting this done, and for a German guy, I think he's transcribed them pretty well! Thanks again Avien! /cheer

WarhammerAlliance Baltimore Transcripts Part - 1: Interviews

DoranM — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:36:07 GMT

WarhammerAlliance.com announced today they'll be transcribing all of the videos from the Baltimore Game Days event! This is a massive undertaking but should provide players with a great resource for finding everything that was said on a few of the harder to hear videos (hey meet'n'greets get loud!). The Warhammer Interviews are the first to be transcribed with the rest to follow; to read what they've got so far visit the Land of the Dead Interviews page!

Here's the official word from Warhammer Alliance on the Interviews:

We at Warhammer Aliiance are pleased to announce that due to popular demand, there are now transcripts available for some of our video interviews from Baltimore. The first patch include transcripts for the interviews of Jeff Skalski & Gabe Amatangelo, Mark Davis and Robert Mull. The rest of the transcripts will follow soon, we hope to have them up by the end of the week. However, please keep in mind that we do not have any better source material than you do when looking at the videos and thus it takes time to do these transcripts (multiple hours for each video, to be exact). Delays in delivering the remaining transcripts are possible.

The transcripts can be found here.
