-Your character level stays with you throughout the whole game, offline, and online. Equal use of towers and player action is required to play effectively, we don't require you do either, but that's entirely up to you.

-For servers, you can join randoms and randoms can join yours, you will be able to search for games, and choose as you please.

-Your Mana Bank will remain with your hero at all times.

-Although we are trying to make the game stats as perfect as possible, no one can predict the outcome until it is tested on a large scale. We are confident that the leaderboards will not be littered with 9,999,999 scores.

-Fimilars (Pets) can not die. Unless you feed them something wrong.

-We are shooting for an early November release date. (Pretty sure its November 1st, from the other posts)

-Currently there are no plans for Kinect support -> We are not ruling it out. Just no plans for it yet.

-Max level is 60. Levels are independent to each character you make.

-Games take time to go through approval processes by Sony/Microsoft, standards and compliance testing that can not be done in-house also takes time. If we could we would, but it's just is not viable.

-Both. As you can see from the screen shots, there are stats to upgrade for the player. Some of those stats relate directly to the towers. On the other hand, during the gameplay itself, you can spend Mana to upgrade the towers even further on an individual basis.

-You will be able to create a number of characters (probably up to a certain limit) with whom you can progress as you see fit.

-All Pre-orders will recieve the same DLC.

-Yes, all players that are made locally will remain on the local machine. Hi, Thanks for the kind words.

-The campaign is meant to be played 1-4 players (online or offline split screen / local)

-Although we dont call it a Campaign Mode, it pretty much is. Either way, you can complete it online or offline with as many or little amount of friends that you want (of have), up to 4 players at once of course.

-You're correct ArenDC, they are "different" DLC in terms of the familiars (pets) abilities, attributes, and look.

-You and your wife can play split screen on your PS3 while your brother plays 3 states away... In the same game =)

-Gamespy. Also, Gamespy is the only platform that would allow for PS3/PC connectivity, which as said in another post that its possible but we are not going to have that shipped with the game because we don't want to delay the game any further. It is a possibility in the future but we are not giving any Yes or No.

-I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure this is up to Steam, and if it is up to us, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't offer some sort of deal for a 4 pack.

-There will be some free DLC, some paid. Prices for DLC are not available at this time.

-DLC will be bound to your account, but whether or not you will be able to access the same account via different platforms is something we have to wait for Tsuda (or another dev) to answer. My guess would be that since there is no cross-platform play established at that moment, that you would not be able to transfer your account from, say, XBox to PC and still maintain it. But wait to see what a TE'r says.

-Yes, Steam will get a pre-order up eventually, and yes, they will have their own pre-order DLC.

-It seems to take about 40 hours to reach level 60, and that's still not the end of your character growth. You can level up & customize all of your equipment, and your familiar. You can also unlock all of the Crystal Cores, complete all of the Challenges and in so doing earn all of the Achievements which show up as Trophies in your Tavern, as well as secret equipments from doing so.

-Experience is earned by killing enemies, and winning various awards that can either be per-wave or per-level (and are permanently recorded in your stats). Winning awards most often takes some teamwork, such as not letting the core take any damage during a wave, completing a wave very quickly, doing a lot of repairs or team-assists, etc.

-We are aware that some classes may get more kills than others, as such this really comes down to if you decide to play more solo, in groups, etc. To take an example from World of Warcraft (old WoW that is) it was much easier to level one class than another. Since we dont record if a player "assists" another by killing the same enemy, we can not award such experience.

Generally if you go into it knowing you are more of an assist class, you should expect this sort of level progress.

-Yeah "Dungeon Raid", as it was called, had an option either to use your saved heroes, or to use per-session heroes so everyone would start on a level playing field. It also allowed players to build "Creep spawners" which would send minions towards the enemy team's crystal core. It was about half-finished and quite fun, but not enough time to release it as part of the initial game (to get the critical balance right, etc). We'll definitely revisit completing it after Dungeon Defenders is out the door.

-Yep, definitely will be a new demo prior to the PC and console releases. Don't want people thinking that the old "Dungeon Defense" prototype accurately represents the final "Dungeon Defenders" game in any way

-They'll be official new levels (though of course the game fully supports mod-makers' levels with matchmaking, even dynamically transferring them to clients upon connection), new special items that have unique functions, full new playable character classes, and new game modes such as Dungeon Raid. We are building in support so that DLC can add total new functionality which will dynamically transfer to the server in online play, rather than just being limited to cosmetic changes.

-Indeed the idea was to keep the art style as scalable as possible, especially since we have to support 4-player splitscreen, on the consoles. With that in mind, we were definitely influenced by Torchlight, LoL, among other games, though with Unreal3 we have been able to put more depth and shading into the environments due to Unreal's pretty advanced renderer, giving the game a semi-toon style of its own.

-I like TD's and I like RPG's, but both had something I wanted yet couldn't yet get within a single game: the strategy & tactics of TD's, and the character building, equipment, & persistence of RPG's. I wanted to play a TD where I could get into the thick of the action after I had laid out a masterful strategy, and I wanted to do it online with my friends. Hence, DunDef

-If you look closely in the video, some items have a red border around them, some grey, yellow, and green. If an item has the red border it is "of lesser quality" than your current item. Grey meaning it is not for your class which is weapon specific only (other class items wont drop if that class is not present in the game), yellow being of "similar quality", and Green being of "better quality". The green items are also marked by two little arrows so its easy to pick out of a crowd of items on the ground.

-The complexity of the gear only goes as far as that player stats screen you have seen in the video. Gear can upgrade any of those stats including defense. Swaping gear in the middle of the wave is just as easy as not in a wave, just hitting the equip button swaps the item.

-The complexity of the stats that are recorded are very plentiful. At the end of waves you i will receive a wave score, and any bonuses that you achieved during that wave. At the end of the level you will be able to access all the stats for that level and break it down by each wave for each player. I can assure you there is more information than most people even need.

-For your competitive urge, we have the leaderboards. You will never see the same scores on the leaderboards. Scores are calculated on a lot of different factors and all it takes is winning 1 wave, 1 second faster to beat the next players score below yours.

-When you die you respawn in 10 seconds. Every time.

-I should clarify that Weapons, in particular, can have a lot of statistics that are specific to the type of weapon (whereas Armor just has defenses of generic and elemental type, and then Character boosting capability). For example, guns have reload speed, shots per second, projectile speed, and various other gun-specific stats. Staffs have charge speed, knockback, number of simultaneous projectiles, and various other staff specific stats. Same for the other weapon types. Similarly so with Familiars, having Familiar-specific stats. So there are a ton of stats (all of which are upgradable), well beyond the handful which can be seen in the brief video snapshot.

-As for class-specificity, weapons are class-specific, but Armor and Familiars are not.
