Vanguard Brings Back Ask a Dev

Posted March 5th, 2009 by Savanja

Vanguard's Community Manager has announced that the VG forums are bringing back the "Ask a Dev" feature. Players will get a chance to ask those burning need-to-know questions that only the developers can answer helping us all gain more insight to our favorite game. Raijinn posts this announcement on the official VG forums.

We're bringing back the Ask a Dev a Question thread so be sure to stop in and submit your question to development and see if it's one of the questions that we choose to answer!

* On or near the first Monday of each month, a new Question Thread will be started.
* Reply to this thread with 1 question you have for the team.
o Please ask only 1 question per Q&A session. If you ask more than 1, your submission(s) may be deemed invalid.
o Do not comment on anyone else’s question in this thread. If you would like to discuss one of the questions with other members of the community please create a thread for it in the appropriate forum.
o Keep the wording of your question simple and to the point. If an explanation is needed, please keep it brief.
o Remember our forum rules of civil, mature and constructive feedback.
o You may include links to other posts, especially if you’re asking a follow-up question to a previous months' answers.
o You may include screenshots, if needed, to clarify your question.
* Do your best not to duplicate questions.
o Please read through the questions to see what has been asked before you post.
o If someone has asked your question, asking it again will not increase the chances of it being answered, even if it's asked slightly differently.
o If your question was asked in a previous month and it was not answered, you may ask it again, but understand that the team may not have an answer at this time or ever.
* Question Threads will run for 2 weeks.
o Generally this will be Monday to Monday, but may differ on holiday weekends or under special circumstances at our discretion. These Question Threads may be ended at any time as well, for any reason.
* This thread will be locked at the end of the question session time. The questions will then be collected and submitted to the team.
o If you miss submitting your question, please save it for the next month's Q&A session.
o Once the thread is locked, do not start new posts for additional questions.
o Please do not post new threads asking when answers will be given.
* The team will try to pick 10 questions they are able to answer and will return their answers in about 2 weeks.
o Please understand that due to the volume of questions and the nature of some questions, your question may or may not be answered, ever.
o The actual number of questions that will be answered may be more or less depending on what the team can answer at the time.
* Answers will be posted in a new Answer Thread, and a link to it will be posted at the end of the original Question Thread.
o If you have follow-up questions, please ask them in the next month's thread.
o You may discuss the answers in the answer thread, but do not expect further feedback from the dev team in that thread.
* The next Question Thread will be posted on or near the first Monday of the next month. Rinse and repeat.
* All dates are subject to change due to holidays and unforeseen events.
