Thread: Friday with Means - April 15th, 2011 - 10th Anniversary Content Suggestions

    Funcom employee Friday with Means - April 15th, 2011 - 10th Anniversary Content Suggestions

    The artists have started to arrive!

    Mstrbstrd finally arrived yesterday here in Montreal...and we can expect Flaptoot to join us here on the 20th. It will be very exciting to get the whole team back together. While we had plans during the "waiting for visa period" that allowed the artists to continue to work it just wasn't the same. Also exciting is we will have our first Canadian code intern joining us on April the 25th. With more desks being installed on the 15th of May perhaps we can even find space for a couple more people to help!

    Code:

    The suffering was thick in the air this week as the coders dug into the Visual Studio 2010 conversion...for real this time. Previous work in the area had been to "just make it work" so they could continue rendering work. After 900+ commits outside the render branch in the last few months it was getting so the render branch and trunk "did not like each other" making the stability of the render client suspect at best...through no real fault of its own. So the happy work of converting the client, the tools, the ancient libraries in now underway in earnest. It is far from fun and I suspect I might be safer hiding in my office until it is complete.

    Design:

    Genele was busy working with the Agent document this week and also assessing further code changes needed for the larger picture changes for the profession and balancing work. Code changes for the new starter experience were also discussed.

    Kintaii kept busy with the new non-instanced Pandemonium addition. Now with Mstrbstrd in town we can start adding the environment for Kintaii to try out his new nasties.

    Lindelu dazzled us this week showing us an overview of the new additions she has been working on for the daily mission system. This means more missions and variety across all level ranges.

    Metaing bravely removed the "no shade" tag from all items that had it. This significant change for the profession will be coming in the very next update (very soon)...not with the larger profession changes.

    Art:

    Mstrbstrd warped to Canada. Flaptoot is busy packing and I wish him luck!

    QUESTION THIS WEEK:

    What special events, item should be made for the 10th Anniversary?

    Where would we be without you guys? 10 years is a long time and we'd love to hear your dreams and ideas of what you would like to be there for the 10th anniversary. We'll be checking in here and adding manageable ideas of yours to our "to do" lists this week.

    Have a great weekend everyone...and congratulations to Silirrion who will be getting married tomorrow!

    wait, what?
    ____ Equipment
    Kopo: There's nothing wrong with the (NT) profession itself, it's just that the other 99.9% of us playing it are deluded & incompetent.
    Unzipped: I'm right, Schmorgi is right... everyone else is wrong and /org lazy.... yep... that pretty much sums up my thoughts.
    Mangle: .... even still the leveling curve seems steep. Why must there be an exponential leveling curve? Who the hell invented that crap with MMOs to begin with?
    deniska: malewerecat h8 for making me agree with Masta
    sobeguy:Anyhow, Marius was evil regardless. Gaute was evil too. They are like, the Bat Man and Robin of evil. They probably run around in tights and masks, making vaguely homoerotic comments, and generally meddling anywhere people are trying to have fun!
    Righteous:Sil is in the kitchen making some sandwiches, he says you're lying and doesn't know who you are.
    Sephiroth:you managed to bother two people with one sentence. Nice

    How about adding mobs that drop the miy's cloaks for the 10th anniversary!
    I know I would greatly appreciate it
    Dysfunktion.
    Trypants.
    Setup.
    One bright day in the middle of the night,
    Two dead boys got up to fight.
    Back to back they faced each other,
    Drew their swords, and Shot each other.
    A deaf policeman heard the noise,
    He came and killed those two dead boys.
    If you don't believe this lie is true... ask the Blind Man, He saw it too.

    Busy Times ahead! Congrats on getting everyone back in the same office.

    10th Anniversary ideas? warp nanos to reets, the grind, etc.,
    When a man can pretend to be someone he's not... to get something he doesn't necessarily deserve. Sometimes, all you need is a lab coat.
