- (1) You obviously play a lot more PvP LD... Does the auto team-building/matchup system seem fair?
He says it IS pretty fair, but there ARE players with huge UV advantages thrown into the mix, naturally.
- (2) Are the different LD Maps static like the Clockwork Levels? Or do they spawn in slightly different layouts each time?
He says, yes, the LD Maps ARE "static".
- (3) Are the Stats of Gears reflected by their Level, or are all Gears used in LD auto-bumped up to Full Stat Power?
I think he may have misunderstood my meaning in asking this question, but I am pretty sure the answer is still the same... He says the stats are not bumped up to full power, but reflect the current Level of each piece of Gear.
- (4) A significant percentage of LD is about Experience/Skill in conjunction with Teamwork, followed by Gear UVs... How important is Team Strategy?
He says the ability to strategize in PvP varies, based on the other players you are put with. Mostly, players do whatever they want in PvP. Strategy comes more into GvG matches, of course...
- (5) Are there always an uneven number of "zones"? I am referring to the territorial "pads" each Team needs to claim and hold. Are there always 3 or 5 of them? Or are there 4 of them on any of the LD Maps?
He didn't understand my meaning here... I have expanded this question with more specificity...
- (6) Are the Roles played by each team player randomly determined, assigned by a designated or randomly appointed Team Captain, or filled by the choice of each player on a first come, first served basis?
He says the choice of Role is up to the Players individually, according to their preference. He did not confirm whether the system allows for only 2 players in each Role. And therefore, he did not answer the "first come, first served" part...
