Ask the Developers a Question!

[PioPico]

As Allods Online continues to grow, we are sure our community has lots of questions about the game’s future development or questions about existing in-game features.

We have a special holiday treat for our Allods community that will extinguish those burning questions that you may have!

The developers, Mail.RU Games, will answer the top questions collectively from all regional communities of Allods Online.

This means we need NA Allods to represent! Here is your chance to ask the developers any question.

Please post any questions in this forum thread . Also be sure to keep all questions constructive as that’s the best format to help your question be chosen by the developers to answer.

We’ll include all past questions that the community asked before although with new patch updates since then, we want to hear any new questions you want to ask the developers of Allods Online.

Now let’s see those questions!

Will they answer this time? I never saw the replies to the last time we did this.

[Condulus]

We are including the questions given last time in this as well.

So you never sent them the questions last time?

Will there be a level cap increase in the future? I personally hope not due to the unnecessary complexity that will be added(re-gearing, added talents and rubies, etc.). I love this game. I don't want it to turn out like World of Warcraft did.

We did. But a lot of things were going on at the time and the project did not get finished. Now that they are doing this and getting questions from every region we're going to resubmit them.

Keep in mind that not every question will be answered so make your questions good ones.

Can there be a seprate gearset for pve players who want to be strong in pve but hate to grind pvp?

and can we at some point get some npc crew for our ships it could be in the item shop i would buy that if it were an option?

can we at some point get a mount that just boost our travel speed and not have all these mounts that do more than just increase our travel speed?

can you please phase out runes they turn the game in to a pay to win. maybe you can charge 10$ per player for each major patch?

that's all for now

Will goblins ever be a playable race for the Empire?

There will be a level cap increase in the future (55), and we do get to keep our gear.

Can there be a seprate gearset for pve players who want to be strong in pve but hate to grind pvp?

That's Astral gear, which is already better than the PvP gear when upgraded.

and can we at some point get some npc crew for our ships it could be in the item shop i would buy that if it were an option?

Astral is designed to promote teamplay. You already have Mercenaries to fill out groups missing players, and the Astrolabe to allow a portion of your keys completed without flying. I don't think the developers want to discourage teamplay any more than those two mechanics already have.

can we at some point get a mount that just boost our travel speed and not have all these mounts that do more than just increase our travel speed?

You mean a cheap/fast mount without any combat skills? We just got those r4 horses. Those are precisely what you're asking for - they have no combat skills and they're as fast as the raptor.

can you please phase out runes they turn the game in to a pay to win. maybe you can charge 10$ per player for each major patch?

Runes are a core part of this game's revenue model. Their removal has been requested before, but it's not going to happen.

Q: Will Anomalous Regions come back, and if not, why? It was the most fun thing about Allods Online that included farming, and by taking it out you majorly pissed off almost every single person who farmed there. You stepped up by making AR, then took 3 steps back by shutting it down. Open it back up and remove the bugs/glitches in it so people are able to get 200-400g there max every 3 hours like intended.

Q: Are you going to continue taking away all of our ways to farm and overbuff everything like KoE, thus making Allods turn into a hardcore no-life grinding fest. (Like Dekaron was at some point)

Q: Is Avilon getting a server merge like Tensess did sometime in the future?

Q: Will you ever consider the possibility of having proper astral loot tables? Not the ones where you have right now that revolve around luck and 70% of the time you get the loot for a wrong class. I'm talking about getting only loot good for the class in the party, and no not including mercs.

Q: Why is it that even though it was announced that Allods Online is getting more advertisement, yet I still never ever see anything when I browse the web? Putting up advertisement on 3 or 4 websites isn't enough for such a big game.

Q: Whats the future with the gem shard NPC? Current rate on Yul is close to 12:1 gpots per gold. That is insanity compared to prices a long time ago. All the pay2win players take advantage of it to get rich, and eventually the free2play players will leave because of overwhelming numbers and game will be close to empty.

Q: Goblinball itself is a GREAT!!! skirmish addition, so is Summerhold. But so far I noticed Goblinball is in favor of orcs. They seem to have more blockage area and they can get to the ball faster (They seem to grab it further away) Question is, will goblinball be fixed and made fair and will all the bugs with it be fixed?

Q: Crafting is better now. But it's also extremely expensive to level and it's actually not that useful once you do max it. Will anything be reworked or will it continue to stay a useless gold sink?
