Hi-Rez Podcast coming soon.

[Kreeper]

We're going to be having a couple HiRez employees on with us, what I need from you guys is some questions that Im going to send him in advance so he can get the yay or nay on most of them and naturally Im going to ignore questions that we've heard 1213213 times already, so be unique and different with what you want to know. Im going to send the list to him tomorrow.

In terms of it being NDA breaking or not, just post the question you want answered, they will determine what they want to answer NDA breaking or not on there own when they decide what they want.

I've also made an official thread on the GA official boards to field more questions, the thread was stickied by staff. http://forum.globalagendagame.com/ph...hp?f=71&t=7512

[Seper8]

head cleaver coming back?

Whats the estimated player base at launch?

Are you going to advertise?

Why would an outsider doing their research have any faith in the game with alpha testers leaving left and right?

New classes with expansions?

Agency bases?

[Amunz]

Whats your main purpose for PvE in Global agenda?

How far do you plan to take the MMO aspect of the game to?
(I.E. new weapons for classes, new achievements, pretty much character content at later noted patches)

Will there be more dyes later on?

Will there be more head pieces later on?

How do you plan to keep players from seige'n un-manned area's in your conquest aspect of the game?

[Firewater]

What is the range of fees you plan on charging monthly? Will there be a quarterly and yearly option as well?

Will Global Agenda utilize TV advertising to connect to its audience?

Any plans to expand to a console

How does global agenda plan to compete with all of the other MMOs on the market?

[Kreeper]

I need more questions, please keep posting.

[Quango]

1) GA's concept of small matches in order to avoid zerging is a smart decision... What systems and design choices are there in place to stop zerging from happening on the AvA side of things?

2) A Two part question: CCP has introduced a thriving business on the administrative side of their game EVE-Online. They offer fee based administrative services which do not imbalance the game in favour of people with disposable RL income. While it is my understanding that HiRez does not want to go the microtransaction route, what services above and beyond a monthly subscription could be applied to Global Agenda that people would see value in?

Also...

Eve has a very rewarding buddy program where subscribers can gift a trial version of the game to a friend and receive a free month as a reward if that friend becomes a paying subscriber. Granted, a free month to subscribers may not be feasible early in GA's release schedule, could a similar system be considered/developed and modified for GA?

3) How customizable are the player alliance controlled areas which are referred to in the interview videos as the targets of "Base raids"? Will there be a base building client? Can we pick our own map layouts/capture styles?

4) Speaking of alliance bases, what are some of the things which can be constructed from the resources I've come to believe will be harvested through controlling territory? I've heard of turrets and I've heard of implants, what else is there?

5) Given the state of Commonwealth biotechnology and genetic engineering, could it ever come to pass that there would be elves in Global Agenda? Even if they existed only as cannon fodder?

#1 Will there be a in-store release ever such as collectors editions and other bonuses?
#2 What kind of customization options will keep players from all ending up with the same/similar armor/looks towards end-game?
#3 Is there quest givers or do you just get in queue for missions and thats how you get quests?
#4 Will there be vehicles of any kind and how will they be implemented?
#5 If there is vehicles will there be any that can be used out of combat as something you own, like "mounts"?
#6 Will players in agencies be able to be distinctly shown as part of that agency through the use of tabards, seals, emblems or anything that shows what agency you belong to?

I think that's all I can think of these may or may not have already been asked.

HiRez wanted me to make a post in the general area on their boards to help field more questions and get more community involvement. Please chime in.

My main questions are concerning the beta testing scheduling.

1. Many players have expressed concern that the long periods between beta testing phases will delay the game launch. Could you comment on these concerns, and the impact of the spread-out testing phases thus far on development?
2. Is CBT1C a sign of change in how beta testing phases will be conducted in the future, with smaller breaks in between testing periods?
3. Rumors abound that CBT2 will bring about a wave of invites to agencies in order to test AvA content. Could you provide insight confirming or denying these rumors?
4. What's the best snackfood you've had brought to the office at HiRez Studios?

Question #4 is serious business.

If it's alright with Xeros, I'd like to transcribe the contents of this podcast to text after it's been published. With the material we cover, and answers given, readable documentation would be useful.

Community Questions I like so far:



Cassio:

• Do you have any plans to create mobile apps to extend the Global Agenda gaming experience beyond the PC?
  
• The specific implementation of the Campaign system may ultimately be what makes or breaks Global Agenda. Explain why you think that your current Campaign system design will be what makes Global Agenda.

Zeke:

• Will there be a in-store release ever such as collectors editions and other bonuses?
