That depends if Vhab knows the difference from the term "skinning" and 3D term "mesh deformation", but since he is at a "scholar state" , i bump for you :P . Just pm me again if you have questions about 3D.
Dont remove bumps!!

Formerly Vhab.
Once upon a time ruled a server. And then sold out. Sorry.
No offense means, but where is your priority atm? Engine? Rebalance? Newbie-Experience?
It looks a bit like doing everything at the same time, ending up with a big mess.
But thats just my point of view from my warm chair at home with my bottle of beer....

Vhab! You should implement !points into the raid interface ^^
For reals though, nice to see some new blood spilled on the development. I'm hoping this is a sign of the game getting more profitable, the dev team increasing in size and the game getting some new life.
I still think, however.. you all should've gone for AO2, instead of trying to revamp this one so completely. Or maybe this will serve as good training?
I disagree with absolutely every single thing you just said. Right from the need to apologize for the balance work not coming when expected all the way to the end. Does your post represent the kind of feeback you feel that I am supposed to take seriously? "Kill ALL twinks" "Sell 220/30/70". I don't even want to start on any of these as you are way beyond reason at this point. Do you seriously think anything that is currently available in the store gives any advantage to a new player over your current characters? You more than likely detected NW action FROM OUTSIDE THE GAME...please give us all a break here. Killing "4 players" wasn't a full team? Where to even begin?
I'm AM sorry that you received an in-game tell from a stupid person. We'll begin work on some kind of "stupid" filter immediately.

Different parts of the team are working in different areas. Engine people on the Engine. A couple designers on the rebalance work. Another couple on the Newbie experience.
It is many different areas and I do feel scattered at times. But dedicating all resources to a single one of these efforts would not neccesarily speed up any of them unfortunately.
I'll envy you your beer and warm chair for now

Vhab is soooo lucky!! I envy you so much hehe :P
Btw, nice idea to post all the nano changes in same post.
so please keep up the good work, cancel rebalancing and put the manpower into the "stupid" ingame filter =)
na, but honestly - i really like 90% of what's happening to ao in the last time. lots of progress and lots of great stuff... why kill it by trying to make it another game.
Lol am I being dense?... erm... to stop people playing the Hokey Cokey & melting the logon server?
<Haggle>How about 15 seconds, can you go to 15? </Haggle>
Interesting enfo nano changes btw, hmm, I'd quite like to try it all out.
Were we getting ME/Piercing perks btw?
Two questions: Masochist Force, basically if we get hit our team gets % chance of a dmg buff? When using the elements lines have a proc to dot our target, the higher our MM (doh!) skill, the nastier the dot?
When are we likely to find out our RS solution to catch ppl in PvP? Do our professionals have an idea? ... I hope it still means I can get to a mob 1st to tank stuff even with ranged users throwing ASs & FAs around pulling the target...

Just sifted through the nano docs. Yes all of them. It seems I missed all the monstrous nerfs that are going to give my poor soldiers a chance to kill anyone else inside 40 seconds with 65-80% reflects.
Did anyone else catch those nerfs?
theres more then just a few ppl who would disagree with you here, yes: there are items in the item shop wich give an advantage to those that pay extra over those that wont,,, mainly i mean instant grid access items, wtb those dropping INGAME as promised anything giving any advantage would
complete diff discussion are the lvl boosts, token and vp items, theres lots of ppl that take such things as a slap to the face, it might not be gamebreaking, but putting something like this w.o any disscussion or heads up to the player base ( few days aint heads up ) was ought to cause panic on forums,,,,
couldnt be so hard to imagine

Gratz Vhab, Steady as she goes, Means.
I remember questions for Means.....
Question 1.: Balance this year ?
Means: Yes
Question 2: New engine this year ?
Means: No...1 quarter 2011
So atm it looks like more:
Q: Balance ?
Means: Next year
Q: Engine ?
Means: Maybe second half of 2011 or maybe 2012
Btw. with balance I mean full balance = nanos+perks+etc
