Friday with Means - November 21, 2008

[Klodovik]

I want an official event , when we will all drop ours pistols.

I belive it happened when AI came out.

[SSK]

In game where you can roll nanomage granade shade, FC will never say 'just give up'. You should know by now, what's best for your prof

[Gothy]

Flyinguns, I can't decide if it's your typing skills or personality that hurts the ranged adv cause more. :P

[flyinguns]

Bah, it's on purpose, at least we will attract attention ;p

[Lupusceleri]

No attention > negative attention...

[erozc]

No news is good news? Not here I think. Also, being ignorant doesn't mean you're being obvious. Kinda same as stating 'well Engie nanoskill requirements are just fine' when you've seen is some tradeskiller in a full set of arith and that's obviously what you're talking about. It's funny too how 'cookie cutter' is a derogatary term for the same people who tell you you've chose the wrong prof.

I didn't come here to whine, I came here to find out about new exciting things and chew bubblegum... And I'm all out of gum. So there's not much left to do, but I hope on next friday there will be more infos.

At least I'll get some solo AI content to sulk in.

[gergiskoo]

FC still has a lot to do, but this is a damn good start. Thanks Means.

The chair needs cupholders. And an exit valve in the bottom of the seat. In n out. It should also make a Jetson's spaceship sound when it moves.

The 'ding on tell' suggestion is similar to a much older one that was 'ding on team invite' or 'ding on Ark' arrival, or both. If 'ding on tell' is too invasive (and ignore should shut off the ding) then 'ding on invite' could be considerably less so, [ding on invite to team or invite to BS or invite to raid, whatever].

From my personal experience the entrance hall was very positive.

There were people to talk to, things to see and stories to learn, nothing but positive imo.
Although, I understand that you might have lost players because they did not understand where to go, you are not gaining more new players from the current drop off state.

I recently invited a few friends of mine, who had never played Anarchy Online before, but WoW, and they were very confused when they first arrived in the game. One of my friends rolled an adventurer, who, with the best "noob island" dmg and heals, shouldnt really die.

But all of them had a hard time with understanding that they should actually talk to the man who gives you the startup first aid kits, weapons and first lvl.

What you should do, is probably implement back the old entrance hall, and have the players zone out on the island, not the crashspot.

This way all new players have the oportunity to learn the background of the game and not getting the feeling of beeing rushed in a combat setting right away.

[Dictan]

will their be anymore more sharp objects and grenade support weapon wise to make them easier to farm, or possiblty new drops which can be tradeskilled into thrown weapons so we don't have to go to dyna spots in the middle of nowhere to farm tl4+ sharp weapons. Kizzer gumboils are nice, but they just aint cuttin it past tl4, and I'd like to see more sharp object/grenade weapons and ways to obtain them.



**also big bump for 2hb weapon fixes

[Steiden]

Would really like to hear FC's (especially Means') comment on this. You can't seriously think after two years that it's working as intended

Blame the Omnis for that. I dont think they wanna have some more NW action.
If you knockout a guy 20 times, you cant expect him to raise and try fight you again.

This really shows up at Tara. When it is time for action, all other Omni stuff need to immediately being stopped and closed down for a while.
If someone asked why, they got an answer: We cant let clammers get Tara one single time, then they will start to show up here.

And so what ?? Isnt that what you all missing ? More Tara battle and more NW wars ??


Some Tara spawn to Clans, will surely give you all more fun.
If Clanners got a TL 7 base, i think it would also make NW more fun, at least for the Omnis when they take it back :-)



I am 100% PvM, so i dont really care about this at all !
Have never seen Tara with my own eyes :-)
Was just a bit tired of all that whining from ppl about missing action.

Steiden

or you could stop being wusses and come and take tara by force

[Steiden]

LOL, seems you need a couple of things explained :-)


I am a Omni MA If i wanna see Tara, i could just tag along with RC.
But dont care about doing that, since i prefer PvM.


Steiden - try reading once more. Was just some comments about the NW "lack of action" whining.

No but it's broken as intended.

Omg when clans aint there it IS PvM :P

[Boinky]

No, because Neutrals are still there, and Omnis attack Neuts even when they are raiding on the same bot, so it's still PvP.

Yeah tara is fun......
erm.. *cough*

[Louderer789]

About those new symbs....?

[Gothy]

Commentary on what the left over 4 professions will be getting while the other 10 get neat new pvp mechanics to play around with?
