Official Keeps Q&A Thread!

[SonicBorg]

Will the gods have any effect on RvR, IE help balancing etc.

[Zamiuz]

Will the race's be able to fight together? Well i suppouse so but, i have seen in different sites that there will be zone fights. For example Dwarves Vs Greenskins.

Or is it so that you have to be in a higher level to be able to fight with other races?

[SonicBorg]

Scenarios..
Will you be able to happily form a Guild Group, or alliance/guild Raid group and enter a Scenario with just exclusively your guild/alliuance group only! as so not to get stuck with pubs. (pubs often just lead to leechers/ afkers and whiners. etc)

Will RVR actually matter? I'm not flaming here, but I want to know that if I log out and go to bed and find out another faction has taken over an area, will it actually mean something to me when I next login? Am I going to feel the gorge rise and want to raise a banner and charge off to retake the captured lands?

Will there be roles within RVR, such as a lead Keep Defender per keep, or will it merely be group based or based upon the perception of others? A great system for this would be vote based, per faction. If Mr Blobby is shouting a lot and getting nothing done and yet Farnham the Wodgie is being vocal and actually doing a great job, those of us helping him ought to be able to nominate him to a position of temporary power. Also that would look good in his individual Tome of Knowledge; "Led the defence of Harildar Keep..."

I've seen alot of good questions so far. What's the ETA on the answers?

[Reno]

Oskorei read the first post the ETA for the answers is given there. Questions are for the februari grab bag of the warhammer newsletter

[Oskorei]

Whoops, my bad, sorry missed that (obviously).

[Amelyn]

another one popped up in my head after reading shaders post.

9: Will we see player "commander-skills" or similar?

example:
Cpt. Buckethead has gotten 3million renown points and is now able to draw an attackplan on his map that he can show to others to coordinate attacks?

[fhran]

Will certain classes be able to do special class based actions in the keeps , such as engineers having access to special engineer items for keep defending that no other class can do?

[Oskorei]

Will Orcs actually be able to be used as siege ammunition?

Not quite ammo, rather a way to quick-travel. Thats my guess anyway.

Check out the last third of this video:

Ok, if this stays like it does in the podcast: Orcs flying to the top of the keep, occasionally crashing into the keeps walls, does this replace the wallclimbing?

Further: will other tanks beside the Black Orcs be able to do this?

Thanks all for the questions. These are now being bagged up and sent to EA Mythic.

Keep an eye out for the February newsletter which will feature answers to as many of your questions as possible.
