Thread: Monthly Development Update - March 2015 (Winds of Change~)

  1. #81
    .24 is driving me over the edge, looks like a bloody good patch but i can't test it due to the crap constantly crashing on me when i login, i suspect it has something to do the gfx drivers. It used to crash when entering camelot or dentis hive on .23 but now it's just retarded and does it everywhere. (i have several toons logged into diff locations to verify that)

    Thankfully none of this crap happens on live, so whatever gfx changes got done do not carry those over.

    Also, the send bug report thingy when it crashes isn't working either so i'm going to post the error log here.

    I just want to say that these latest chain of patches in the 18.7 tree are just amazing.

    Thank you Michi for all your hard work. You are really re-energizing the AO experience for my friends and I.

    Co-sign. This last winter was the first in forever I didn't grab the seasonal year subscription promotion, was considering letting the account lapse this spring. Then you started patching 18.7.0.2 stuff to testlive. Instead, I got a second paid account. That's all you Michizure .

    How will pre-existing teams be handled? I'm hoping they will be broken upon entering and before red/blue decision (to prevent an obviously lame experience for anyone not going in on a stupidly OP team), but even for it to have been thought of thoroughly and tested would be nice

    Thanks so much for the remaining AO team's work. I resubbed last week after feeling that nostalgic 'itch' for AO, and checked the forums and saw how much you guys are still pushing forward with the game with your current resources.

    Nice to see this, keep up the great work guys!
    Yay Michi!

    Soo.. for us who enjoy team pvp with our friends and org mates, not AGAINST them, will there be an option to pick side (red or blue) in BS, are will we be SOL?

  12. #92
    All sides can pick either Red or Blue meaning you can team with whoever you want. In other words yes you could choose the same side as your orgmates/teammates

  13. #93
    what happens if everybody (or majority) picks red (or blue)? are we back to what we had before where bs doesnt run or are there contingencies in place that would auto assign regardless of what side is chosen.

    Could it be changed so it runs regardless of numbers so at least people can finish the daily and not be penalised by low population?

    Red vs Blue is another kick in the face of Neutrals.
    I am afraid that there will be no more Neutral alts rolled and leveled ...
    In the past 2 main reasons to stay Neutral were:
    1. BS because Neutrals could join any side (with shorter queue)
    2. Inferno missions as Neutrals could team omni or clan. Now with new inf missions that pont is no longer valid

    Neutrals as 3rd faction managed to survive despite all Neutral hate etc.
    Recent and planned changes may hit harder than everything else since start of AO...

    I think most of us can agree that BS running at all is more important than neutrals getting to be first in the queue...

    Very true. But he does have a point. When the cities got removed and the GMI was put in, Neutrals lost a lot of their usefulness and their uniqueness. Same for the new Inf missions.

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Who cares? People who join neutrals should be considered neutral too, in other words. They shouldn't pvp. So now you will hopefully get rid of the 'untrue' neuts and go back to your true origins and political opinions.

    There is no choice here for BS. It's down to the wire and Red vs Blue should have been implemented a long time ago. As someone who plays a lot of neuts I don't mind this perk being extended to all so that the game can have more of a future. Of all of the changes upcoming that might well shaft neuts, this one is by far the least of our concerns.

    If this game was created from scratch I'd like to see neutrals to be truly neutral. That means they would be unable to engage in any PvP apart from duels and BS while in return they would be safe from any attack from players. This would of course have to be followed with complete overhaul of Rubi-ka gas system. Most PFs (apart from instances and some community hubs) would become PvP free zones, which would give true meaning to neutral players (as they would be safe from attacks of other players as said previously) and clan vs omni war would suddenly become more plausible, which is not the case right now, when players of opposite faction can sit next to each other, chatting, while drinking steaming cup of coffee.
