Questions:

Steam Wallet?

• If logged in through Steam, you can buy anything in game through your Steam Wallet (even if it’s not in the Steam Store)

Will old limited-time rewards come back (like James Joystick)?

• James Joystick is an Extra-Life reward that will be coming back this year, as well as the Movember mustache magrider/mustaches

When will we be able to get rid of the bound dragon souls we get daily?

• Tuesday, with the new patch.

When will we see PVP?

• Soon. Intend on getting back to internal playtest next Friday. Added some tech where they want us to be able to build arenas in-game without having to submit to them (ability to build battlegrounds in an instanced club world).

Any ETA on chat tabs?

• It is being worked on-no ETA available (relatively tough system to build).

Is there going to be an option to leave the World channel in the future?

• I don’t see why not.

Will there be any more tiers above Radiant?

• Never say never-eventually. They’re looking at other ways to progress other than just extending gear.

Mastery rewards?

• Mastery cap will be increased (not this upcoming patch) and new rewards will be implemented.

Plasma fishing?

• Plasma fishing and the undead terraformer. . .

Can trophy fish be deconstructed for more glim?

• Maybe.

How will the Shadow Hydra come into play with the Shadow Tower?

• It is being built and in progress, will be in the next release of Shadow Tower bosses.

With the introduction of the Shadow Tower and the removal of Shadow Arenas, will Shadow Shards become obsolete?

• Nope, still farmable-every floor gives you some and you can still trade them for rewards.

Can we have an option to switch the color of our names if we unlock more than one?

• Maybe.

Cornerstone loadouts?

• Some UI/technology in place, will be available with both credits and cubits.

Jokes:

Why did the lifesaver not save the hippie?

• Because he was too far out, man.

How come no one likes it when a Dracolyte tells jokes?

• Because they always drag on.

How many tickles does it take to make Q’bthulhu laugh?

• Ten tickles.

Why didn’t the Trovian go to the dance?

• Because they’re too square.
