Monthly Development Update – Nov 5th 2012

[Tralauri]

Only 10 days left in the month..... when is this merge coming so I can pick one of my accounts to resub? D:

[Liwa]

Please give us more than just 24 hours notice of the servers coming down for the Migration patch ... so we have time to map our character's old ID numbers & back-up our preference folders in advance.

Also, so we have time to login toons we do not plan to keep post-migration, either because they were only holding a name or are otherwise "extra" and move any items or credits off these "extra" toons beforehand.

We all should have already done this, but you know there are many who haven't ...

Delaying the payment until the last minute. This is big enough that I would like to be able to set my preferences, but I don't want to risk paying too early and having to pay more than once. I can't afford that right now.

[Cratertina]

funz! Are comming, first major ground breaking change, from this team, to make it ingame. And potentialy most important.

[Onkelolsen]

Everybody should just go crazy - and have fun - that's what games (and life) are about - rest is bull**** and doom, ;D

When servers merge???!!

Since 18.6 needs to be tested on Test-Live before it goes to live server, probably sometime after 18.6 gets released to Test-Live ... it isn't there yet, so ???

Only 7 days left now to month end and since its not even in testlive yet looks like next month, or the following month or the following month... oh well some things never change. Please prove me wrong FC I beg you.

[Tralauri]

I would say FunCom has adopted ValveTime, but it may be the other way around, since this engine has been coming for 4 years. Maybe theyre on DukeNukemForever time?

I would say people need to learn how to read.
Quoting OP: "I can’t give you a set date, but it will be this year. We’re shooting for end of this month, but that’s assuming that our very rigorous internal tests all pass without incident."

Youre taking the one impatient quote and applying it to this singular instance. You're ignoring every other "forecasted date". I dont even want to bring th eengine overhaul promised dates into this. (But I guess I just did.)

In any case, I did read. It said shooting for end of month. It's the end of the month. Silence is the annoying part, here. Atleast say that there was a snag, or that there is a delay, but tell us something.

Servermerge: Q1 2013.

He said it would be this year; Maybe this month if we're lucky. That means it's not a delay before we're into next year. I'm assuming we'll get an update with the next monthly letter.

I know this is off subject but can someone explain to me the reasoning for making the area for the daily mining mission an open area for attack. I just go there to do my daily and often there is some ganker in there just killing everyone that comes in. What is the purpose of this. It is very annoying and its obvious these are players who are failures at PVP so use this to make themselves feel better.

[MassDebater]

You mean the pvp instance? The one where you are getting pvp?

While doing a pvp mission?

Nope the one where you are killing 3 rougue miners for the bartender. No PVP involved at all.

[Gorathon]

You two are taking about the same area. I think it was designed to be a BS waiting area, which is why the mechanics in the "lobby" (viewing area) are similar to those in the decon room.

You know that you're in a pvp area when the miner corpses have vp bundles in their loot table.

[Wakizaka]

Nope the one where you are killing 3 rougue miners for the bartender. No PVP involved at all.

It's a PvP mission in a low gas area that was designed to have PvP in it.
It also features no rezzing which is great.
And, every time someone dies in the area, a miner will spawn.
