Warhammer Alliance Asks "What Should We Find Out For You at Mythic?"

DoranM — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:10:43 GMT

Warhammer Alliance has been invited to Baltimore where they will be doing exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage of Land of the Dead for Mythic! Like any good community fansite they want your input on the questions you want answers to about the game and upcoming changes. They've set up a forum to field these questions - head there and ask yours now!

Here's the Warhammer Questions Thread Post:

Greetings,

As you may have heard, Warhammer Alliance has been invited by Mythic to Games Day Baltimore to enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage of the event and of the upcoming Land of the Dead.

The lion's share of our coverage will be our all-access pass to a closed door event wherein we will see video, presentations, and Q&A with Mythic regarding WAR and Tomb Kings. We've been told that we're going to be getting significant face time with the developers, and as such, we want you, the community to help ask the questions! While we have our own questions we're going to be asking, we'd love for you to help reap the benefits of our access.

The folks we'll be sitting down with will span all areas of WAR, so most anything is on the table. Just follow the format below and who knows, we might use your question for our interviews! We'll be watching this thread all the day until 12:00am on May 9th for questions - get them in today!

Please note the following guidelines BEFORE you submit a question:

Insults or rants disguised as questions will not be asked - While frustrations and criticism can and should be communicated in any question of a negative nature, it is unacceptable to rant off or insult the developers doing it. If you are more interested in taking a jab at the game than you are of getting an answer to your question, it will be immediately disqualified from consideration.

Be detailed, but concise - Extremely general questions such as "what are you doing to fix RvR?" are fine, but might benefit better from being more detailed and specific related to the concern you have. Give an example, cite a situation, or clarify questions like these. At the same time, don't write a wall of text. We have limited time and need to present questions in a time efficient manner.

Proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling as best as possible - For clarity's sake, please try to proof your questions for grammar/spelling as best as possible. If we are unable to discern the intent of your question because it lacks these things, we won't be able to ask it.

Multiple questions allowed (up to five) - If you want to submit multiple questions, that is fine - however we ask that you limit questions to five at most. In most cases we will only be using ONE of your questions if we choose you. So make them good.
