    The people who do the main work on something like the Nightclub can't work on items #1 nor #4. And probably don't work on #2 nor #3.

    Graphic Artist != Coder != Quest Designer != Game Director != Item Designer

    In fact, I would make this educated guess that the reason the Graphics folks have the extra time on their hands to do stuff like the nightclub is precisely because the Coders are at work on things given to them by the Quest and/or Game designers related to the behind the scenes stuff related to balancing, bugs, etc.

    While some of those functions might be cross-functional and handled by the same actual person, I am willing to bet that the ones that aren't cross-functional are the Coders and the Graphic Designers. Meaning stopping work on the nightclub would have no beneficial effect on the issues you brought up.

    Might there be other places they would be better utilized? Sure. But none of it would affect actual gameplay issues with the -possible- exception of fixing broken geography in a few places.

    I mean ... I guess they could make the graphic artists go update the database with QL160 symbs and then update the loot tables to make them drop. They COULD make them go create new items. They could also tell them to go search the game code for why the Beast lair exit is so effed up. They could even tell them to update the PvP rules engine to change how AS and evades work. But I don't think you want them to. I know I wouldn't want to see those results. It would be on par with telling the coders to go create a new nightclub. The bartender would be a stick person and the drinks would all have cheesey particle effects. But at least it wouldn't BREAK anything.

    lol yep I'd have to completely agree with ya on that 1, I do get it, It just seem there's to much talk about it when there are some fundementals errors that need sorting..but I guess they're will always be things that need sorting.

    But according to who? I mean, you personally may not particularly care about a new nightclub and that's cool - Not every bit of content that goes into game is going to be used or appreciated by everyone. That's alright, we're ok with that, and if a nightclub isn't what you're into then no worries. But in the absence of other things for our artists to work on at the moment (outside of the new heads/body smoothing, which we've gotta let them take a break from now and again before they threaten to leap off a tall building somewhere), we figured tasking them with something fun, funky and interesting would be of value (and help manage their sanity a bit) - Plus, in the construction of the night club, they've learned a lot of very valuable and interesting techniques that will be of a lot of help when the time comes for them to start creating assets in other playfields.

    There'll always be things in game that certain groups of people appreciate more than others - I'm sure, say, the Gridstream guys would probably say that the new nightclub is a good addition, alongside various roleplayers in the game. Not everything has to have a new raid boss in it to be a valuable addition, afterall, and sometimes it's nice to toss in some social stuff alongside the combat. Besides, it's shiny. I like shiny. XD

    This one I'm not currently aware of - Granted, I just got back to the team a couple of weeks ago after a few months absence, so there's a lot that I've missed. Can you post a more detailed explaination of what's happening? I'll see what I can do to talk to the coder types (read: Macrosun) about it at some point.

    When I mention the rebalancing efforts, I should say that it's a really, really, *really* massive job - We're looking at almost all aspects of AO and figuring out ways we can change, help, and improve the game across the board. I'm not promising that things on your list are in that process at the moment, but everything is going to be looked at sooner or later. Whether or not it changes... again, I can't promise anything. But I *can* promise that the issues you mentioned above will be looked at in the overall grand scheme of things.

    I did. =) And I hope to see more in the future. This kind of interaction is the sort of thing I was talking about - Being able to communicate with you guys is never a bad thing.

    Chocolate.. I mean, seriously!

    and WG, I always have my boots on. Just wish that Omni-Tek would see that having boots with a big stiletto heel and perhaps a nice pointy toe would be more beneficial in scare.. *cough* making me look nice instead of the boring flat ones.
