It depends. If someone wants to crack a joke then that's ok.
What I don't like is people answering seriously on behalf of the studio because (as I've explained before)
A) The answer might be wrong.
B) The answer is not from an official source
C) The thread gets cluttered with pointless banter and debates over wether or not a reply is correct.
The whole idea of this thread is for people to get a direct answer from Ironhide. Usually, I can answer questions by myself, but it's not uncommon for me to go around getting the facts straight before coming back to this thread and answer questions... if anyone can post their answers, then you are missing out on a real answer from us.

2) Will Iron Marines beta be tested through Phones?
3) Out of all the KR games, which do you refer to as the hardest to complete?
4) Will we get Steam Origins?
5) When will we have hero-related achievements?
6) How do you decide whether an idea, a unit for example, is worthy of getting into the game?
7) Does beating the whole game in hard mode mean something to you?
1) Late December.
2) Iron Marines first Beta will be both phones and tablets (Android and Apple)
3) Frontiers was the hardest for me.
4) The chances are good, but we haven't green-lighted it yet. I promise to let you guys know as soon as I know something definitive on this.
5) Honestly? No idea. I'll check with the teams.
6) We usually have a general idea of the types of units we might add to the game before we start coding and animating. Then it's all about trial and error. Some units work exactly like we want them to, some end up not fitting the game for various reasons (balance, redundancy, or they are just boring).
7) It means I devoted way too much time to get good at it and I should probably go back to adult life.

I mean including it on the every map is on the game, and completed both campaign and challenges it is unlocked? Always wanted to fight 2 Juggernauts on the Rotwick level.
Do you actually know the entire team, or just the few people, while you're sitting there and seeing them and thinking: Who is that? Why they're here?
Do you want to make another Hero by Community posts for upcoming games?
Should you ever invited to a party?
I think that chances are good for a level editor to be included in KR4... this is absolutely unconfirmed... but it's certainly more feasible than it was for our previous games.
There are currently 28 people working at Ironhide (yours truly included). We all know each other quite well. Some of us even worked together on other studios before entering Ironhide, or were friends long before becoming co-workers. We all consider part of the same team, even if we work on different games... there is a strong sense of camaraderie.
I ABSOLUTELY WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER COMMUNITY HERO. I've already pitched the idea and it's currently being considered. Stay tuned.
Not sure I understand the party question. Sorry.

Are the archers in the Ranger Hideout humans or elves?
Does King Denas have any Family? Does he have a daughter like in the comics? If so, where is or what happened to her mother?
Alleria was always conceived as an elf. I don't know if we ever canonically mentioned it, but this is 100% definitive.
The archers in the Ranger Hideout are elves.
King Denas has a daughter, we have been discussing when and if we should include her. We have never mentioned the mother in the games or in the comics, but my personal guess is that she died.
Denas is a bit of a glutton, but he is also a stand up guy... I don't see him ditching a wife.

How do you get accepted to be a beta tester?
What would be the commitment when you become a tester?(as in how much time you have to spend playing the game and the amount of information needs to be given to the devs about it)
Where would you post info on certain bugs or glitches that you find in the game?
To be accepted in a beta, all you need to do is to join the thread that invites people to the beta. I will open this thread when the time comes.
All we ask from testers is honest feedback and discretion. If all you can do is play the first level, that's ok. Just tell us what you thought. And if you find any bugs, report them. That's all.
When you find a bug, you open a new thread explaining what happened, if you can upload screenshots then great.

I think we should, but I don't know if we will.

Captain Taguins have command of a starship?
Where does Eridan carry all of his arrows?
Do humans in Iron Marines prefer to teleport Artillery shells or still fire them regularly?
How does Kara get infinite rocket/cannon ammo in her tiny suit (compared to the size of the guns)you gotta store all that ammo somewhere right?
Why does Eridan's gloves look so snuggly
? Where can i get it?
Will any of the human heroes in Iron Marines have glowy eyes?
Cpt. Taguins is a infantry leader, not a fleet officer. Even though he has the rank of Captain, he is more of an NCO.
In his quiver, obviously.
They fire them regularly.
Dude, seriously? How does a GTA character carries a Minigun, a katana and a flamethrower without them being visible? ... It's fiction.
Eridan's gloves are custom made, they are mailed directly from Linirea's.
Nope.

There are too many to choose just one.
The game I enjoyed the most this year was Witcher 3.

We might be working on something along those lines... stay tuned.
