Hallo Tonkra und alle anderen,
Hi Tonkra and everyone else,

Ist denn der Antrag auf der gamescom eine garantie? kann doch genauso gut sein, dass dort auch nur eine begrenzte anzahl den key erhält.
Is registration at Gamescom a guarantee? It could just as easily be possible that only a limited number of people there will get the (beta-)key.

Diejenigen, die sich auf der Gamescom, der AnimagiC oder der Japan Expo für die Beta registriert haben, haben die Chance einen Beta-Key zu bekommen. Leider können wir aber nicht garantieren, dass jeder einen Code erhält.
Those that registered for the beta at Gamescom, AnimagiC or the Japan Expo have the chance to obtain a beta-key. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone will get an access code.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....

Hallo Tonkra,
Hi Tonkra,

vielen Dank für deinen Vorschlag! Das ist eine wirklich gute Idee und unsere Entwickler beschäftigen sich zur Zeit schon mit Möglichkeiten, die anzeigen, wenn sich ein Spieler in einer Videosequenz befindet.
Thanks for your suggestion! It's a really good idea and our developers are currently already working on options that will show when a player is inside a cutscene.

Hallo Coris,
Howdy Coris,

ich habe den Entwicklern von deinen Fragen und Ideen berichtet und folgende Antworten erhalten:
I've spoken to the devs about your questions and ideas and received the following answers:

1. Wird man das Inventar auch wieder zur Listenansicht ändern können?
1. Will we be able to change the inventory back to a list-display?

Wir beschäftigen uns zur Zeit mit dieser Möglichkeit.
We are currently working on this possible feature.

2. Die einfache Konfig des UIs ist super! Man kann alles so leicht ändern :O Nur frage ich mich, wird man die Skillleisten auch vertikal drehen können?
2. The simple configuration of the User Interface is amazing! You can change things so easily. I'm just wondering, will we be able to turn the action bar vertically?

Die Ausrichtung der Leisten ist festgelegt. Gleiches gilt auch die Anzahl horizontaler und vertikaler Leisten. Aber ihr könnt frei entscheiden, wo ihr welche Kommandos, Emotes und Macros hinzufügen wollt.
The alignment (vertical/horizontal)of the bars is fixed. The same goes for the number of horizontal and vertical bars. But you can freely decide where you want to put which commands, emotes or macros.

3. Es war eine Questanzeige zu sehen. Beispiel: Erledige 10 Baumhörnchen 0/10. Wird man diese Anzeige verbergen können?
3. A quest-display could be seen. Eg: Slay 10 Squirrels 0/10. Will we be able to hide this display?

Diese Möglichkeit planen wir momentan nicht.
We are not currently planning for this option.

The whole vertical/horizontal thing caused some confusion...

Hallo Coris,
Howdy Coris,

wie du hier sehen kannst, gibt es vertikale Skillleisten:
As you can see here, there are vertical skill bars:

Hello and good afternoon !

When we collected questions for the 3rd Letter of the Producer - Live! one of you indeed had a question to ask, however the question surprisingly was for me:

My question for you... How do you pronounce your name? Sah-sun-knock? Sah-sun-ihk? Sas-oon-ihk?

Thank you for your question, Jinrya-Geki, and your interest in my name

Sasunaich is inspired by the Gaelic word "Sasunnach" (there are different/more modern ways to spell it apparently) and I personally pronounce it "Sa-sse-nach" with the "ch" being typical for the German language I suppose, as I don't like the harsh sound of "ck"

I hope this answers your question

[mbncd]

How do Germans typically pronounce "ch"? Like "chair" or "choir" or something else..?

[Seirra_Lanzce]

How do Germans typically pronounce "ch"? Like "chair" or "choir" or something else..?

try typing "Sasunaich" in google translate German and hit the sound button :P

[mbncd]

try typing "Sasunaich" in google translate German and hit the sound button :P

Ah, so it's like sah-sah-n-eye-tch with a "ch" like "chair". Thank you for pointing that out ^_^ And sorry for chattering on a translation thread >_<

[Seyra]

"ch" is pronounced a bit like "rr". It depends on where the "ch" is in the word, but you can guess when you listen to "nacht", you hear ~"narrt".

In this case it should sound like Sa-sse-na-rr ^^

[Alegis]

Thats not correct Seyra.


This one explained it pretty good (found on another side):

We shouldn't forget the difference between
1) ch after a, o, u and
2) ch after e, i, ä, ü, ö and consonants:

1) In the first case we use the voiceless uvular fricative [χ], as in Scottish "Loch", German "nachts" , "Bach" etc.
2) Otherwise it will be the voiceless palatal fricative [ç], similar to English "huge" or "human"; you'll need this for "rechts", "sprechen" and "ich".

Wikipedia helps again too:

In German, ch represents two allophones: the voiceless velar fricative [x] when following back vowels or [a] (the so-called "Ach-Laut") and the voiceless palatal fricative [ç] in all other positions (the so-called "Ich-Laut"). A similar allophonic variation is assumed to have existed in Old English.

In German, it represents [k] before -s, and an initial Ch (which only appears in loanwords) may also be pronounced [k] in southern varieties, and is always pronounced [k] when a consonant follows the initial Ch.

The Rheinische Dokumenta writing system uses ch, for the voiceless palatal fricative [ç], while ch represents [x].

[Sasunaich]

Good morning,

I am sorry I confused you.

Since I do not pronounce the "i" in my name, the "ch" is more pronounced like in the German word "Nacht" or the Scottish word "loch" (the sound is produced somewhat in the back of your throat).

I hope this explanation was of more help
