Not to sound silly here, tho I probably am, is friendly fire limited to ranged weapons? I'm guessing there will be melee classes in the game and some melee attacks will have arcs or aoe effects, and if FF was implemented how would it be handled?
Another thing for Miguel to answer possibly will there be collision physics in the game that effect LoS or will people be able to move/shoot/close combat though their own team and by past the opponents teams to attack range dps or utility classes.
The game has no level up system, there are no levels.
That hasn't been said. There is progression in the game, it just isn't up. A lvl 41 in SM is arguably more talented than a lvl 5, has more gear, perks, and weapons, but isn't necessarily stronger than a lvl 1.
PROGRESSION & ECONOMY
Do characters have levels?
No! As in the game, you’ll pick what unit class type you want to bring to the battlefield and have access to a huge amount of customization, but since this is a PvP-focused game the progression won’t be primarily about increasing power, but rather gaining access to a wider variety of skills and better specialization.
Certain powerful but limited unlockables will be available to truly dedicated players, however. More details on this soon!

Sooo, basically what I said isn't completely wrong and what he said isn't completely right. How are you going to earn other weapons without horizontal progression like in SM as I was describing?

I imagine class progression will be based on game time, kills, requisition cost etc. For example to unlock the Lascannon you must play 100 hours as a Devastator or get 100 kills or like earn 10,000 requisition points.
My direction for the team is ''The Game needs to be as immersive as possible'' So Yes I would love it but since we will have HUGE battles we have to test the balance between ''nice to see'' and massive gameplay or you guys will all need WaterCool 10K$ PC!!! :-) and we dont want that.
Yeah, i don't see anything to sign up for besides a newsletter.

the beta signup and the newsletter is the same,it isn't a 100% chance for the firsts beta/alpha phases but for the later is almost certain.
i wonder why they want my phone number.
Hello, you have been selected for, Eternal Crusade Beta, to confirm your position please press 1, to speak to a member of the Inquisition regarding this call, please press 2, to report any xenos attack, press 3 and for any heretical uprising, please press 4 and a designated inquisitor will be with you shortly. Goodbye
i think i'm got right with the image joke
https://www.facebook.com/miguel.caron.52 Miguel Caron yes, and cel phone if you want to participate later on our ARG's
So we have planned a few ARG mini-game before the game is launched. I wont say more... but if any of you played my The Secret World ARG before launch.... you know how cool it could be.
Think like..... getting a recorded call from Inquisition on your cel at 2AM giving you orders to do something and come back on a hidden site with an answer to unlock something cool for your squad at launch!!!! :-) I am not saying more!

Uhm...getting a random call at 2 AM isn't exactly "fun" to me
Dammit, ninja'd by an hour due to chasing the wrong thread :/

Experience is something you get just after you need it The Narkos Dynasty - 15k Iron Hands - 12k The Shadewatch - 3k Cadmus Outriders - 4k Alpha Legion Raiders - 3k
I liked the interview. No confirmation / dismissal of FF though.
Also, have you considered a modified version of WAR's (ugghhhh) approach to RvR?
So clearly there are outposts / fortresses and other static stations throughout the world. Would it be at all possible for a "Warlord" to claim them in the name of their faction, but then have it also count as theirs? The Warlord would be the highest ranking player in the party that seized the objective. S/he could then gift the right to whomever they chose, and the title would confer the right to:
Collect requisition depending on how large and fully upgraded the base is.
Customize the defense of the outpost / fortress with requisition:
"Buy" guards, a champion to preside over the throne while the warlord is not present - and guard them when he or she is, their weapons, armor, machine shops, Vox ampilifiers, and other base add on's or upgrades.
Add the heraldry of the Warlord to the structure.
Build a barracks to send out small waves of NPC's (like the IG) to put pressure on nearby battlefields or other bases in the region.
Honestly, if this is only implemented on a small scale in a very specific region even only between two armies, like a valley in the mountains somewhere, I'd be happy. It could even be an Easter Egg

Aye, but to know the very essence of this game, is somewhere, on a distant planet in a super secure military base is being tested as we muggles go about our daily lives. To know the eternal crusade begins then, brings no greater joy.
"the gaming industry has forgotten who are paying their salaries.
for me it's not, these players, that troll. no no, these are my bosses.
they are the ones paying my salary.
they are the ones allowing the team and I to live our dream in creating that game.
so the players are my boss.so who am I to put, ah, marketing, or put a filter between
my bosses, my investors, the ones paying my salary, and paying my house and the paying the school for my kid.
who am I to put a firewall between them and me, you know.
I have to build what they want because they are paying for it.
so who wants to screw up their investment, who wants to steal money from their boss?"
And for me, that attitude makes me believe in this game.
