Question:
Will there be a Sandbox mode? Like in Knights of Honor, a Quick battle etc
Answer:
Although, direct comparison between KoH and WS can not be made, yes, there is something that acts like Sandbox mode.

Question:
I heard that there is a random map generator. Does that mean there will be a map editor?
Answer:
Yes, there is random map generator - and it rocks! But, there will not be map editor included as custom made maps just doesn't fit to overall game structure.

Question:
Will WorldShift be easy to mod?
Answer:
Same, because of the heavy on-line nature of the game, modding will not do any good here.

Question:
Will there be a manual included with the box/case? Will there be a manual in the game as well for those who get the game elsewhere (Ebay etc)
Answer:
Yes.

Question
Is it the multiplayer going to be a competitive game? Apparently there will be a strong cooperative vibe to the game but what about the player vs player aspect?
Answer:
There are several modes available: Cooperative missions, Single Player Story missions, Multiplayer practice games, Deadmatch (1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 random players, 2v2 and 3v3 pre-made teams).

Question:
Will there be a Demo for Worldshift?
Answer:
Yes, there will be a demo.

Question:
How do I get rewards for Multiplayer? What are they?
Answer:
There are items on the ground and there are also rewards for a victory. They are all items, but, to get the real things you need to win a real fight.

Question:
When I have an 2 on 2 and I just keep looking for items on the ground and my partner makes the fight (and win) I will get more reward than him?
Answer:
No. There are several types of items (or, let's say, several sources of items). For example, the items you find on the ground counts for the entire team. Let me give you an example:

You play 3v3 game and you are playig as 2 Human + 1 Tribes. Lets imagine one of the human players takes one item from the ground. Then he receives it, other human will receive the exacly same item, and the tribes player will get a tribes item of the same level quality.

After the game is finished, the winning team, depending on many parameters, will receive additionally a special rewards in forms of more items.

Question:
Do units run and hide for Cover when under attack?
Answer:
No, but they do fire at different angles. We have been very careful when putting in how much our units "think".

Question:
Will there be sniper type units?
Answer:
There won't be typical "WW2" style snipers, but there are units that can fire at long ranges and assassin type units that offer a similar purpose.

Question:
Will WorldShift use DX9 or DX10?

Answer:
DX9

Worldshift pre-FAQ? Very good, Frankoman! ;)

phpBG
21 Nov 2007, 17:28
Yeah, nice idea! ;)
But I think there are a lot more questions (and maybe a few answers) around the forums. (these 3 forums)

Haha, don't bother with an unanswered section - there's so much to copy in it, that you'll need a couple of days maybe.......
But it's a very good idea two, couse these questions are asked over and over again...
If you have the patience to do it, go! :)
We can even post our questions there, instead of making hundreds of separated topics! :D
It will be easire for everyone, mostly Frujin, and the members, that are tired of seeing scattered topics in the 2 forums.
So, if you can, do it. :)
And if you need help with it, write me a PM ;)

Edited questions.
Any chance this can become Stickied? Or should I make a different post, and have it Sticked then locked, then edit when a question can be put in; thus making this the "Ask Your Question" here thread.

If he writes it here anyone can see the info. You'll have an open beta soon so why hurry?

phpBG
12 Feb 2008, 10:17
Because it won't be very "open"... :(
But let's not spam here.

25000 users beta is almost "open", anyway. I doubt that many people will register.

phpBG
12 Feb 2008, 21:42
Haha, well in that case we should all get a key, right? + there will be some left...
(But I hightly doubt that's gonna happen.)

I hope I'm right here with my questions :)

Is there any information when the Closed Beta ends?
And are people who are were in the Closed Beta also automatically in the open beta?
(I hope the Google translator has not made too many mistakes :P)

At first i want to congratulate the whole BSS team for the great job done till this moment on Worldshift, according to the short movis.The grafic and the gameplay are much more than satisfaying.I want only to tell you that many gamers value the diversity of unit/creature types and phrases they are using.The banal and oft repeated sentences are very annoying.I hope you wont miss this aspect from the game and specify it as well as everything else...

ragnarog
27 Apr 2008, 21:37
Oh yea.... i forgot to mention my last fear.I hope that the accompishment of missions wont be especially easy, couse there will be simply no challange!Promis me that you will think about it :) Go on with the further development of the game.You are on the way to create a great product ! Wish you success.

Yep, your welcome :). For it to work you do require a few files from the open beta installer or game folder though.

Koruso
19 May 2008, 11:48
Oh man and what if i've uninstalled the beta and installed the orig game?

Zync
19 May 2008, 16:54
If you still have the installer you can extract it and grab those files from the data dir.

Edit: It seems like gamespy is still hosting the open beta files here (http://www.fileplanet.com/184440/180000/fileinfo/Worldshift-Open-Beta-Client)
