Smedley's AMAA

[MgFalcon]

Hey guys, Smedley is having an AMAA right now on Reddit check it out here (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/xlir0/iama_john_smedley_22_year_game_industry_veteran/)

(I asked about the swag shop - his response: "we're working on it" IMHO that sounds like "Soon" too me!)

So if you have any question for Smedley - now is your time to ask!

Do you plan on working on bases in PS2 that outfits can deploy?
hell yes. That's in a 3 year plan we have. By the end of year 1 is my goal.

How long do you think it will take (if everything goes as planned) for everyone who has twitter/PC gamer keys to get in the beta?

maybe as long as 2-3 weeks but it depends on how smoothly things go


is the most important thing for the most of us i think

that means that EVERYONE will be in beta in august

[Eaglez]

2-3 weeks for people with twitter keys or pc gamer keys, not the people who just subscribed. Who says that can't be another 2 weeks after the twitter keys/gamer keys? I was hoping it was like a 3 day headstart for vets, not weeks.

brb gunna go freeze myself for 3 weeks

[Drakkonan]

All those idiots so desperate to test the game. I think there were 4 questions that pertained to something other than beta, despite most of the asked questions already having been answered. That was one of the most uninformative AMA's I've read, and a pretty big waste of time. I thought the answer to the SWGemu question was funny though.

I don't care about his bibliography, I care 'bout is marching a squad through the beta.

Terran_Republic_Dude : Can you do me a favor?

Keep Clegg around for a good time. He is a good dude.

By the way this game I am playing under a NDA is pretty good.

J. Smedley : glad you like it :) and glad you like Clegg. hey wait.. is that you Clegg...

That was a good one, even more so if that was actually Clegg :p

[dafuq]

good to hear that active subs will be in 100% on monday

waiting is finally over

"What are your thoughts the future of the PC/MMO industry, given the swift decline of SWTOR?"

"I fucking hate it when people talk about the decline of the PC industry. It's idiotic garbage spouted by morons that can't count where the players are playing. It's not like League of Legends reports numbers to NPD. The players are playing F2P games on the PC not going to retail."

Damn... Somebody hit a nerve just there. Now THAT is how I'd like PR people to speak.

Soooo not tommorow anymore but monday 100%?

[Xyntech]

Good news on the servers. That was kinda absurd when they were thinking of centralizing all of north america. Hopefully that bodes well for other parts of the world.

Mac support? Really? Intradesting.

Soooo not tommorow anymore but monday 100%?

100%, barring unforeseen delays, as always. In other words, don't get your panties in a bunch if it still doesn't happen monday, but hopefully it will.

[Roy Awesome]

When the ama is over, a bot will go through and compile all the questions and answers. I'll crosspost it here for you guys

In the meantime: Ask your question! Smed answering alot of things!

EDIT: Guess what is already going? The bot:
