Will those who preorder get to have extra character slots temporarily for the preview event?

I am guessing it will be just like the PVP weekend and no you will not.

No, no, 12 v 12. That 3 x 4 simply means you have squad options.

Now, you can attack as a group of 12, of 8 and 4 on the flank, or 3 x 4, or presumably as 12 individuals going it alone, as you choose.

Correctamundo. You won't be tossed 40 skills when you start.

The ones you unlock will be yours, and of course each profession has starter skills. I'm not sure of quantities on those but we will know very soon.

Sorry, no extra slot. I understand completely why you'd like one, and perhaps in the future... But I don't know, really. The options are to use your PvP slot for this weekend, or to invite yourself (as mentioned in this thread) with a "dummy account" just for testing purposes. Sure, your unlocks won't carry over, but on the other hand, it's a great chance to have 4 slots for toodling around with the professions.

Thanks for the good questions. Hope this info helped.

Sounds like it will be really fun. Thank you for the info, appreciate it, Gaile.

Awesome news!!! I can't wait!!! I think I'm gonna call in sick for work on Friday hehe...

Gaile, will we be seeing the same armor we saw on the PVP event for both the Assassin and Ritualist? Or will the PVE event show more armor options for them? (will it be the same for the other 6 core professions?)

zoozoc · Mar 20, 2006, 06:00 AM // 06:00

I think I'll let you guys figure that one out. I don't think we'll have everything in that Factions has to offer -- it is a beta event, after all. But, well, you just look at see what you find for the event, and then imagine the possibility of even more in release.

Nothing you don't deserve, but thanks for the kind words.

If we don't have access to Xunlai agents, does that mean that we have to carry everything on our character?

Aleria · Mar 20, 2006, 06:17 AM // 06:17

Any idea if we get to check out any new pets available over the week-end?

Obviously. But considering none of it is permanent and it's all wiped after the beta weekend is over you can just throw crap away.

Ken Dei · Mar 20, 2006, 06:36 AM // 06:36

Gaile, I know that we'll probably find this out during the event, but could you please address the speculations concerning who has access to "Elite" Missions?

Is it the entire controling Faction, Luxon/Kurzick, or is it simply the Best Alliances, or Only the Alliances that conquered that territory?

The community is very riled by the possibility of high end alliances excluding the rest of the community. A response would be much apprieciated.

Also, I think it's awesome that we get the option of 12 on a single team or squad based tactics. Very keen indeed.

torquemada · Mar 20, 2006, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Wooty!!! Thanks Gaile, just made my working Monday somwehat less depressive

I was just wondering about Alliance Battles (3x4)...are they part of PvP or PvE? Also can teams be from the same guild, or must they be from separate ones that form an Alliance?

That totally blows. I do not have a PvP slot on either account, and already entered my preorder keys on the accounts. The FPE is completely useless for me now.

Nexium · Mar 20, 2006, 10:43 AM // 10:43

hmm so it is really a 12Vs12 as in 12guildies vs 12other guildies???
i rather se 3teams and each team has 4members cause 12vs12is going to be one big mess

If you have two accounts, then you have 6 invitations to send out, that should be room enough to send yourself one of those.

Might as well give the game now lol, I have paid it in full for the CE. LOL wish full thinking

Woutsie · Mar 20, 2006, 11:46 AM // 11:46

Thx for the info

Just wondering, how do you make a "dummy account"?
Oh, here's a nice timezone converter for people that don't know when they will be able to play: http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Why would I want to waste time and effort on a character that will be useless after the event?
