I'll see if Sarapis wants to answer this one, if not, I'll answer it later today.
2. Will the new artefacts have a lot of combat implications?
3. Come on, new class spoilers!
4. Do you think city guards are in a good spot and is there any incentive planned to encourage factions to not use them?
Edit: added 4. Sorry, I'm curious
2) Not many of them have big combat implications in this batch.
3) <lorielan>No.</lorielan>
ETA 4) Generally, I think they're in a good place, they should provide a home court advantage to defenders.
Are there any plans to add a class slot switch feature? If I want to keep the lesson investment in my first slot class, swap it to third for a fee, while keeping the majority of those lessons spent (respecting the modifier of the slot) while allowing the slot to be used with the smaller modifier?
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
2) Not something we're going to offer, sorry!
Which is your least favorite class, and why?
Do you have any plans of altering the Relics further with some of the ideas that have been proposed recently? (Limiting the time of being held, or Lifegiver not protecting the others, etc)
Do you think the Relics have been a good addition to the game since their inception?

2) Hrrm, from a balancing point of view, probably monks, they have a huge number of moving parts. From a thematic point of view, I love them all.
I wonder if it could get other 'named sword arts' in its kit alongside Brokenstar. Would add a lot of flavor. The Blademaster from the lore used a lovely sword art called "Desperate Angel (?)" that I found quite exquisite.
2 + 3) Mostly good additions, they serve as a conflict mechanic that gets people out in the world battling each other for them. There's a couple of tweaks we've been discussing recently that should alleviate some of the not-so-fun aspects of the system.

We're generally pretty happy with where the class sits, that's not to say that we don't think there are tweaks and massages to be made to promote some different playstyles (rather than leaning on one or two combos).
Brokenstar is the ability name for desperate angel, actually. If you compare the ability messages to the lore, you'll see that they're pretty much identical.
2. What's your favorite music genre?
Oh my no, he basically used a special sword technique that is used in a 'desperate situation', meaning his vitals were dead low, so it was fully empowered.
2) Mainly rock!
2) ETA on the idea I've had approved for two and a half years? (I just Wanna be able to see things in things already u.u)
3) How many separate areas are there, just out of curiosityour
4) How often do you play as a regular character?
2) When it's done.
3) 523 distinct areas in the game at the moment.
4) Not that often, once every few weeks I'll make a newbie and run through some things looking for snags and newbie irritations.
Do you - and Sarapis, since it seemed to be mainly his brainchild - consider the reworked forging a success then? Personally I don't see a lot of descriptors being used (though I also don't look at a lot of armour in stores), and wouldn't ever pay the sometimes extremely high costs involved for some of them because the item won't last.
Would you be more supportive of a suggestion that required making a single, large investment into armoursmithing for non-decay rather than paying credits? That seems like it would work out better for armour smiths than the current situation where I'd spend maybe a few thousand gold per suit of armour per couple of RL months.

As for the cosmetic descriptors and that aspect, I've not looked too much recently, but last time I looked, many armoursmiths had described suits of armour for themselves, while they may just do the basic/cheap descriptors for those they wish to on-sell.
I could potentially see a "repair" ability being added to the forging skills to maintain their own weapons and armour for a percentage of the initial commodity cost or something (completely spitballing here, no promises).
