Kintaii made a reply on the April 29th FwMeans thread ... it is now closed so will ask my question here ...

Quote: Kintaii from April 29th:
For any skills we may remove or merge (and before anyone panics there's only a couple more we're looking at, and those are also mostly 'cosmetic' type skills), the 'removed' skills will still have their IP spent in them. If you have any IP in these skills after the rebalancing goes live, you will have a new option in your GUI called "Removed Skills". You will then be able to IPR those skills if you desire. Likewise, a full IPR or breed change will also reset these removed skills. =)
End quote:

This may seem silly, but who in their right mind would not want to reset these "removed" skills?

Why do we have to take everything off to get these "removed" skill IP's back? Why don't you give them back automatically? Or figure out some switch we 'check' to make them come back without having to take all our 'twinked' 'hard-to-get-on' stuff off and re-equip?

Oh well ... 2nd page ...

Good point! I cant even imagine trying to put certain items back on my "twinks". I wanted to die irl trying to get them on the first time.

Cubetastic!

[bitnykk]

I can't wait to see what he puts together for the preview of the new engine.

Couldn't tell at wich point entire community feels the same ...

[crattey]

Perhaps you should stop the FWM tradition unless there's actually something of relevance to be said? At some point it just becomes a rather empty gesture... Well-intented, but utterly defeating the purpose of establishing a meaningful dialogue with the community.

I think that still stands..

[Marijke]

Gratz Cube! Your videos always are breathtaking.

I once commented "Damn FC, hire this guy!!!" on one of them. Glad they did it

[Blackcradle]

Grats "Cube." Your videos are the derpest. :>

[Niles]

Ok, so video regarding new engie is going to start now? Then one can conclude that new engine hits servers...?

[cube]

Cubetastic!

Woo!

And thank you everyone else, words can't even describe how elated I am to start working on AO! <3!

[Lusos101]

Who is this cub everybody is talking about?

Post XXX!!! YEAH!!

[MyGift]

So when they failed to deliver engine in 1st Q of 2011 means said it will be in 2nd Q of 2011...I guess that wont happen since ur getting the guy who will make preview video for it??

Jesus will it ever come out?!

[Autohead]

No, they're just using it as a ploy to keep people paying their sub fees.

[Amosco]

Great job getting Cube to do the preview video for the new engine. He has done some fantastic video work in the past. I can't wait to see what he does with the new engine video.

[Obtena]

No, they're just using it as a ploy to keep people paying their sub fees.

Right, because people are stupid enough to just pay for a sub to sit and wait and not actually play the game.

[Autohead]

Well you were stupid enough to reply to my sarcastic comment, so maybe?

[haxi]

I think our "professionals" should be fair game in the QQ thread. Please amend the rules.

[Kintaii]

Nah. You're free to complain about "Professionals" in general, but no singling another player out. 'sides, like I said in the OP - The thread is supposed to be fun, not mean. I'm ok with taking one on the chin because I've got pretty thick skin and so do most of the other peeps who work with us here on the AO team. Guys like the Professionals, though, are players just like the rest of you guys, and while I'm ok with QQ regarding the overall program/title/position, I'd rather not run the risk of someone targeting an individual and getting 'em upset over something that's *intended* to be (mostly) good-natured fun. =)

[crattey]

...I'm ok with taking one on the chin...

That's what she said!

ZING!

Sorry.. just read this week's Savage Love and right after, for some reason, everything that can be taken out of context to be even slightly pervy just lights up like a christmas tree. It's like the least useful -but quite amusing- superpower ever.

[Strombanni]

Grats Cube, I like your videos

[LyrLazarus]

6 weeks since the last doc was posted. I know you said you were waiting until after the Version 2 documents for everything else were put out before you put out the Agent doc, and I'm fine with this. But shouldn't we have gotten at the very least one version 2 doc in the last 6 weeks?

The fact that I've lost all expectations for FwM is the hardest part.
