When target="_blank">Warrior Epic,
the upcoming MMO from Possibility Space and True Games, went into
closed beta testing a few months ago, players clamored to get into the
game and really try out the many systems touted by the WE developers.
Now the game is nearing completion and the developers are preparing to
open their doors to the public sometime in 2009. Ten Ton Hammer's Danny
"Ralsu" Gourley has been following the game in every step of the
development process, and he recently had an opportunity to chat with
Brice Lucas, Senior Web Designer/Developer and Community Manager for
WE, to check up on the progress of the game and find out the
nitty-gritty details behind some of the combat systems in the MMO.
Enjoy!

Ten
Ton Hammer: In past gameplay videos (like the old trailer), Warrior
Epic has looked like a dungeon crawler. Can we expect to collect a lot
of loot and that doing so will be one of the driving forces in the game?



Brice: There will be tons of loot in Warrior Epic, and an
insane level of customization for just about everything you
find… but
Warrior Epic is not focused on grinding and looting. Our game is
focused on playing with friends and kicking their asses in PvP or using
strategy to make it through a quest. In typical RPG’s you
just keep
finding gear that does more and more damage to whatever enemy you hit
it with. In our game, new weapons and equipment will enable you to
formulate new strategies for existing or yet to be hired warriors
thereby giving you a different experience depending on what you have
equipped and whom you have it equipped on.
