As for the engine, have you got to the point of adding those "...up to 6 more people" to the project, presumably to start crunching the 'effects' work that has to be done?

Doesn't have to be big.. Just enough to store a few bags of twink gear. =P

Thats chr linking, and requires a bit more programing to do, as macro was saying today in IRC, the time he's working on features means less time he's working on bugs.

Is this the right time and place to ask for that double aimed shot crossbow?

Yeah how's that budget coming? /wink wink nudge nudge

Overall good updates glad you are back in full swing. How's that horses leg doing? Did the wifey blow a gasket?

I mail ordered swineflu last week, and it has yet to get here.

**Technogen** · Nov 6th, 2009, 22:53:43

Means - Kinda off topic but still important with the change documents coming out, has your personal view point of throwing grenades being added in game changed? Are you openly considering them an option or do you still feel they should not be supported in AO?

I'm really looking forward to this. Will the Daily Mission System be available for ALL levels? 1-220?

Wondering the same thing myself. Would be great to have a leveling alternative through all the levels.

**Artyomis** · Nov 7th, 2009, 12:50:29

I'm waiting for more detailed upcoming balancing news, so we'll be able to discuss and analyse them deeper and closer. Now, we have pretty short amount of notes, and about perks, but nothing about weapons, nanoprograms, skills and something else, that might be affected.
It's hard to provide good opinions regarding our professions in the future without knowing what exactly is going to happen with them in a month or two.

Daily missions are good, no doubts, but i'd love to know why should I do those missions for, what will happen with my profession at 220 and so on, so please, give us more details of upcoming changes, that will, at least, let some of us to keep twinking our characters without risking to get a situation when we'll need to do full perk reset simply because upcoming choice will be better than current one.

Thanks.

So guys, getting back on track with our discussion.

Say you are in a cave with an underwater entrance. Technically it is dark inside because the sun is obstructed by earth, but from inside you cannot see any source of light. Is it darkness inside or shadow?!

WTB Draculeet & Frankenleet in all locations that they are supposed to be in through the weekend. They have been missing from some spawn points for days & petitions are not helping.

Hallo-leets verified:
RK-1 Newland

Hallo-leets missing:
RK-1 Borealis
RK-1 Tir
RK-1 Old Athen

Anyone else have Hallo-leet spawn locations (where they are currently available or missing) to add to the list?

**Remedie** · Nov 7th, 2009, 21:34:10

I'm glad you feel better! 11 days is a long time to be ill. Eat lots of chicken soup!

You can't hide Means. We see you! Last I remembered it was something like winter this year or early next year. WTB a general/vague estimate of engine release. Please.
