Hi guys I've been chatting with Marc for a bit, and we've come up with something pretty cool: Ask Marc Anything! (as long as Marc wants to and it's within 10 questions) I've arranged with Marc a bit of a Q&A - Here's the opportunity to ask the Recollection dev team (more specifically Marc Hernandez, the Game Director) anything! (Developer Diary video featuring Marc: www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCcQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DANYzI9vsixY&ei=V06ET8vSDsWZhQf61KSnCA&usg=AFQjCNGwxdNdLDv-TzcEMSE8PBhJ0vb3vw)Are there anything you want to know about the game? About the team? About anything at all? Now is your chance to get an answer! I don't know about you guys but I have a million questions for Marc. So, to make everything manageable, here are some rules:- In Marc's own words: "There are some topic that I can talk about (especially, everything related to the Assassin’s brand itself (and AC3 in particular). It means that some answer s might be on the vague side"
- We can't get answers on everything, so we'll select the 10 most asked/supported questions.
- We will pick the 10 questions by popularity/common sense/sensitivity/insightfulness, and I'll make the final 10 with your input, so that it won't become a beautification nightmare.
- I'll try and make everyone happy, but we won't make everyone happy. Please understand that!
- We will finalize the list of questions next Tuesday, so you have a week to get your question in!
So... Shoot! What do you wanna ask Marc?

I wanna know: The Auction House/Market is a hell of a major milestone for Recollection. What are the other major milestones planned for Recollection, and are there rough dates? Will we ever migrate from GameCenter to Ubi's own servers for matching services? There was mention of better matchmaking, faster updates, etc. When are expansions planned? Revelations Expansion, any future expansions? Are there plans for some official tournament and/or tournament-enabling structures? Like WotC's sanctioned tournaments, but of course electronic and online. When will ELO... Or, will ELO ranking be implemented? That's all I can think of for now

How about asking mark what he feels we can do to help going forward, as like a bonus 11th question?

I think Tuism covered my positive questions. I would add:
What is their policy about balancing cards in the future?

All good suggestions! I forgot to add in a closing date, let's say we'll let this question collection run for a week, so Tuesday next week we will finalize the interview questions.

I'm curious about who the design/development team is.
Also, what are their backgrounds in tcgs?

Pretty much second your questions Tuism. Expansions, tournaments, elo are the big ones for me

I agree on the ELO question. I don't think gamecenter is the correct platform for this game but it could be because they need time to develop their own tourney server. I would like to know if that's in the works or if we're gonna have to migrate like you said earlier

only one question. Is devs want ACR to be the new CCG, that beats MTG? The turney, ELO, card balance, future updates, etc. All will be done or not. I don't care, but if the game can give me a lot of fun in the future, then i thank devs with my money puted in the game regulary.
I'm afraid of how the balance will be realized, then competetive games begins. may be "one beats all" deck will appears then. And afraid for future updates? I can't imagine a lot of new cards to be added.

I can't imagine a lot of new cards to be added. That actually sums it up very well, what the future vision is for the game. Also balancing had been a big concern for me (still is I guess), but there has already been a round of balancing that has made me pretty confident in the balancing ability of this game - its not like mtg where a broken card gets banned or stay broken, it gets unbroken More questions from my head: what's the Japanese reception of Recollection been like? And other regions? I've always been very curious about that as I do know Japan usually has amazing players for games like this Also, will there be sets of cards from earlier in the AC story cycle? It would be nice for Altair and co to make an appearance!

Could you share with us some of the rejected cards that didn't make it in the final cut?

The questions will be finalizing after the weekend, make sure you get your burning question out soon as possible! Add more questions: How big is the dev team, can we get a bit of a quick introduction to the guys and what they do? What other projects do you guys all also work on besides recollection? How did such a off-the-beaten-path and unmainstream game concept get approved for such a popular franchise? Was it a hard project to start? How did the topper brasses come to approve it? Was there an epic story behind it?
