hey guys,
a while ago, as some of you might remember, there was a
REALLY interesting zone thread where seble answered several rounds of questions about the mechanics of zone defense. information was revealed that was seemingly brand new to the entire community. we had a GREAT community discussion and then sent some follow up questions, which were also extremely interesting/illuminating. anyway, at that time, i said hey seble, this is really great! we all wish we could hear from you more, but we know you are too busy to scan the forums for interesting topics to chime in on - so what about if we did like a monthly "ask seble" where we sent you 2-3 questions on 1 topic, then debated the implications on the forums, probably following up with a couple more questions on the same topic? he said it was a good idea but basically that was what dev chats are for. he said he could schedule some dev chats, but it would be really helpful if i could reach out to the forums and get some questions and topics together and organized, so he could try to schedule them. and then maybe if that proves too hard to schedule, we could try the "ask seble" thing?
anyway, can you guys post questions here that you would be interested in getting answers on from seble, in one form or the other? i will try to organize these questions, grouping together like questions, possibly with some clean up or whatever, and then post a summary here which people can continue to comment on/add to.
to get started, here are some questions i would personally have, just to give some examples, to get people thinking. we cant just use questions i have or that defeats the whole purpose, i really hope we can get broad contribution here, and good discussion on some of these topics, as a way of distilling these complex issues down to some key questions. we have the opportunity to possibly get more in depth answers here than in a normal dev chat, so please keep that in mind (that zone thread went about 10x deeper than any dev chat i've seen ). so really, feel free to post not only questions, but your opinions on the answers to questions you have or others have, or opinions on which things should maybe be top priority to get figured out - or if you think some things are things we shouldn't be told by seble - or anything, really. the goal here is not to have a simple list, its to have good conversations about complex topics and to use those conversations to advance the community understanding - and then to tap seble when we really understand what it is that we don't understand :)
the end goal here would be to build an archive of quality seble information, in the context of the greater community discussion of the topic, along with our interpretation of the answers and how it applies to the game... so we can have some well organized discussions on complex topics, that get to a level we rarely can get to on these forums. i think that would be a fantastic resource for a lot of people.
GROUP QUESTIONS:
- Any information on upcoming changes, particularly big changes to recruiting?
