Snail Games publishes the answers to four recent "Ask the Devs" questions!

Black Gold Online is back with another episode of Ask the Devs!

Q: In response to Snail’s recently released Goliath and Behemoth as “Titans” video, which seem to dominate the battlefield, how do players with normal mounts or none at all hope to challenge them? Also, could you tell us more about their gameplay? How do these “Titans” work?

A: We’re working on developing a balanced system regarding all mounts and vehicles, to make sure that those on the ground have a fair chance.

The idea is to encourage teamwork, utilizing all manners of attack and tactics. The current design concept of Goliath \ Behemoth will require at least 2 players to operate and requires a high level of coordination and control. These gigantic vehicles will not be unstoppable, and can be overwhelmed by concentrated fire.

 

Q: In addition, when do you plan to release the lores and information about the Classes? I would like to know what I am going to be using to fight crazy mages.

A: Lore is being released in preparation for the opening of our closed beta later this year. The stories we hope to tell between the different races are invariably intertwined, and it will take time to unravel them fully. Keep posted for more, and know that the more we reveal, the closer we are to opening up for play.

 

Q: How will open world PvP work?

A: Every region in Montel is contested, which means there are no safe zones. You can team up and raid opposite faction cities and towns.

There will also be same-faction PvP, this feature can be easily toggled on or off: allowing you to attack any players in the full open-world.

 

Q: Will there be queuing for instances or will it be driven by interactive aspects within the wider world?

A: Actually, both. In Black Gold Online there are a variety of PvE and PvP instances(Chambers of Greed) that leave it open to what players want. Players can either queue up to join in on instances, or interact within the social chat functions.

For PvE instances, dungeons are a great example. Players can queue up from a “Looking for Dungeon” feature or stumble upon them in the open-world. In the dungeons, players will find hordes of enemies and powerful bosses, offering a challenge and also reward in valuable items from looting.
