Monthly Development Update - August 2015 (Pyramid Scheming)

It looks like the simple fix was to create a static model with no bones for animation since that was the core of the problem with the dragon models (too many bones for the new engine). It's a perfectly fine fix for the moment being able to actually see them, they just don't have an animation.

These dragons have been very frustrating in particular, as they have always behaved correctly internally. Some aspect of them seems to keep failing to export...for a while, it was their models and textures...now I just need to figure out how to get their animations working again. I am full of PJSalt.

Just a quick note to the powers that be - I was just taking a low lvl toon to totw and the portal in Rome don't work but the Windcaller Cerrak is still more than happy to take your 1000 creds - Could I suggest that the windcaller is removed or tells you to go to the windcaller in ICC. It will only confuse returning players to the game.

Datch - Pres of DOC

Clans are mass petitioning people that multi log in tower gas as predicted....

The tower pvp today was alot of fun though, without assist docs actually get a chance to heal and no one really insta died, clans were absolutely terrible though.

Remove the Tab!©

**Gaggee** · Sep 18th, 2015, 22:40:23

As Aiken said, remove TAB and the ability to press Q (start attack) and we wont have any more issues.

Towers were major fun, to bad i had to go after two battles. Was fun as hellz.

Tab kinda has to stay, since its hard to mouse target....

So kudos for assist change.

Yes, noone really instadied, except the ones that got hit by 5 nukes and those hit by 20 specials in a split second.
"Multi logging".

You are probably the only person on the server that thinks being a meatshiled is "fun as hellz".

While this will drastically change how certain PvP venues operate, we feel this change will make PvP feel more engaging and less automated.

Oh yay.

Like we haven't been suggesting this for ages.

I always managed to heal someone on doc before though!

Tower wars was a lot of fun today too. Really enjoyed the assist change. No multiboxers to ruin the fun either. Omni was absolutely terrible though.

Actually question of interest to myself, what is going on with the steam overlay for AO and is there still progress in that area? I know it was on the to do list a bit ago but havent heard anything about it anymore.

Michi, this is a fantastic question and something many people I have spoken with are wondering about. Can we please get some input on this?

It is something that we still need to figure out how to get working with the old engine client. It is very high on my short-list of things to resolve, as getting AO on steam is something we all want, and have begun preparations for.

**Metafly7** · Oct 1st, 2015, 18:31:14

Thanks for the reply Michi, good to hear. I was under the impression that it wasnt compatible with the old engine at all however due to Dx sub 9. I sort of figured only the new client would function with it.
