- Does X9 support water like X10? I've read that this will be apart of the V1.18 update but is there an estimation on the release date?
Probably a few weeks from now.
- Can you have allies by your side and have them attack enemies like in X10?
Yes
- X10 visuals looked really nice. Will X9 look anything like it?
Yes - but X9 still doesn't have an auto-resolution feature for ease of use.
- What about the in-game effect sliders that allowed users to control bloom volume and ambiant lighting on the fly?
X9 has better bloom than X10 and also has easy ambiance setting when testing games but it doesn't have the sliders though.
- Ragdoll deaths? I think users have modded X9 to allow ragdoll before but when will this become a standard feature like it was in X10?
X9 has ragdoll but it's still a bit buggy. Improvements have been made though and V118 final will probably be very close to X10.
- I know this is random but will X9 ever support voice lip-sync as a standard feature?
It already is a standard feature but crafting media (models, voice etc.) to support it fully takes skill. A few stock characters have lip sync for testing.
