Update some tree models pretty please! Oh and the skybox from the still alive video too!

These are the new tree's..... from 2010.

Or that specific person snapped indeed, at the coffee machine before starting the project.

Personally I didn't see any change...


There where also some new body's and heads being made but I guess that's information from that same era... (You know, back in 2010 when things where etc.etc.etc.etc.)....

Unbalanceable at TL7. We not even sure to what extent awakened beast effects balance. Rebalance changes aren't fully tested/understood in depth. Any new items are going to make it more complicated to balance. But who cares. Its not like game was balanced before. Everyone just keep abusing OP stuff. its business as usual.

Seems like you wasn't around at times when AI was like "just released". We had TL7 tower PvP fights that could last hours nonstop on one single field, as far as flagged bor PvP that used to last very long.
Why? Because PvP was pretty well balanced, even at lowbie levels. We had almost no weaps with capped recharge and damage same time (except maybe agents), and I'd like to say that cap was 40% back then, just fyi.

Every oldie who was there in approx 2004-2005 period will join my point of view.

Somehow Funcom thinks that any new content should always come up with new phats, while I think new content should entertain people at a first place (like battlestation when it was just released, or NW as first expansion). New phats should only be introduced to balance current things even better.

Rebalance would require too much juggling like lowering pvp cap to 20-25% but then doc/advy would be virtually unkillable. Or triple the effectiveness of AC in pvp which would give engi/keep an insane boost. Etc etc

Truth be told I dont think balance is actually possible without hard caps to AR, Def rating, hit points, and dmg.

To sum it up...
- More new content...
- New currency?
- A time locked mission thing... (I already have almost no time to play, let alone the ability to shape my schedule around AO...)

What about focussing on other stuff first?
Graphics? Crashes? Glitches? Etc?

Everytime when I point people to AO, the first thing they say is: OMG the graphics look prehistoric...

Very strange... minecraft is wildly popular with prehistoric graphics. Why is that? Playability maybe is more important than graphics? Just a thought.

Texture packs, but it's the game itself.

Fix gauntlet please... Make it spawn more often like every 7 hours... Or at will with lockout.

Busy...

[Oliveerz]

Or he would just avoid postning news on The first of April, because everyone will just troll?

[nanoforcer]

I think the aliens finally managed to get him.
