Ask the devs an MXO question

**ZaneZavin**

I'd like to take this chance to thank the Devs for answering questions on the forums. Also I want to say I love HCFrogs sig. To everyone else, keep up the good questions. SMILEY

**FAOrien**

I wouldnt mind a question about new clothing and weapons. I need new dual handguns!!!

Can we expect to see faction panel enhancments, team duels, and a more meaningful CQ system after the Combat Revamp?

yay!:smileyhappy:

good question Viscidos

Yes, this is a good question, Viscidos and bonopi... Visciopi... bonidos... uh anyhow

Faction Panel: I really couldn't say, both because I don't know if this
is in the works, and if it is, I don't know (and probably couldn't tell
you) when it would be planned for. I know exactly why you're asking
this though, that thing... uh, yeah SMILEY

Team Duels: Similar answer, except I feel this one would be less likely
to be put in. Not because it's a bad idea or anything, it's a great
idea, and if I remember correctly it was even in the manual that this
worked... *sigh*... but I just have my hunches

CQ: Okay, I don't know of any current plans to revamp the CQ system. BUT...
there is something I am going to push really hard to get put in after
the dust settles from the CR. It's something that I think would add a
lot to the game, and I've seen some people propose similar concepts on
these forums. Basically, something that would add an actual reason to
PvP... maybe fighting for control over places or things... perhaps
granting Org benefits... maybe even adding some sort of balancing for
Org populations... Now please keep in mind this idea is not even on the
schedule yet, it hasn't been approved in any way, shape or form, and I
haven't even figured out how much time it would take to implement, or
exactly how we would do it. But I think it would be pretty cool!

Hope I don't get in trouble for talking about that :smileysurprised:

How long have you been with the MxO team HCFrog, and what did you do before this?

**FAOrien**

Will we get new clothing and weapons?

Super bogus.

Good lord, you got that response in like 4 seconds after I posted.

I joined the team pretty late - about 4 months before the game shipped.
I started out just writing missions but my role has expanded to include
a lot more game design type things; gotta say Archon is a pretty cool
boss when it comes to that SMILEY

This is by far the coolest job I've ever had - in fact it's my first
game job. Previous jobs included writing tax software and helping
dissect dead octopi.

And now I need some sleep! G'night folks, and think up some more good questions SMILEY

**Shadow-SK**

In Dev Journal 01, Archon mentions much needed updates to the in-game Marketplace:

Marketplace

We are
also working on some significant improvements to the Marketplace. The
Marketplace should be a great tool for players trying to buy and sell items
and the current system needs to be re-tooled. Improvements are focused around
expanding the design and fixing broken or user-unfriendly issues. Our goal is
to implement an overhauled Marketplace before the end of the year.

As you can see, he says the goal is to have it implemented by the end of this year.

So my question is: How are you progressing with the marketplace and what new features can we expect to see?

EDIT: **bleep**, lol Thanks for answering our questions HCFrog!

**Megarittz**

Are the devs ever going to fix ignore so it works in area chat again? How am I supposed to properly ignore that guy who says stupid stuff, and that other guy who says stupid stuff without ignore working properly?

**FAOrien**

Well I cant try to ask it again lol I have my last final tomorrow. If someone in their good heart could ask that question for me that would be the most nonbogus thing ever.

Nice to see new faces, err... new handles on the forums here HCFrog. It's always a pleasure talking with DEVs.

Thank you for the Q&A session!

How many devs are on the MxO team? (and how about a nice group photo so we know who we are talking to :smileywink: )
