    * Crypt of Home
    * Mantis Hive
    * Smuggler's Den
    * Deeps of the Mantis Hive
    So I take it this means that we won't be getting these kind of daily missions unless we go to the Elite Handler? Does this also mean that we can do a normal daily, like Embrace of Shadows (find the shiny pile of crap in U-Turn valley) and then also an Elite like CoH (Plug) on the same day?

    Every so often, as you're running around on RK, you'll see a rock hanging out in mid air. Every time I've seen one I generally report it, but given the size of RK there might still be a few around. The distance varies from a couple of feet to over 3 meters up in the air, I've even seen a tree about 40m up from the ground once. Getting these found and straightened out is always a good thing, even if it's in the background compared to other things.

    Is the alien daily mission lockout on the same timer as regular daily missions?


    From what I recall, on test it is currently.

    Now this is a patch i can get behind! Nice fixes and brimming with new content.

    Thanks for the turnaround on HHaB, keeping tl6 out of Pande after 7 years of access was never gonna go down well and it takes a brave man to admit he was wrong.

Again, major thanks to Chrisax and his crew for helping us out with locational information on floating objects. =)
    Thanks to you, to Lindelu and to Flaptoot and all the Devs for all the work we did and are still doing together to make AO world cleaner. It has been awesome to work for AO with you and see how dedicated you all are. And it's great to see now 6 first zones fixed.

    I can even tell the players community that they will find 2 small camps (nothing special, just scenery, but still) that have been buried for years in Milky Way around 3122.6 1098.4 and 3666.9 856.4.

    On a side note, I think that even if all this isn't directly related to the new engine, it's much better if the new engine lands on a world where geometry is cleaner, and the "new players experience" can only be better too.

    We're on SL now, scouting and reporting floating or buried objects, stuck points, geometry glitches again. So some more work for you soon. (Uh, Lindelu… could you stop staring at me and playing with this huge gun… you're making me nervous…)

    Additional note: despite all our efforts it may be possible that a small issue remains somewhere (floating or buried object, stuck point, inconsistencies and glitches,...). Everyone, please feel free to report such issues, if any.

    Is that related to those missions you sometimes pull in milky way that lead you to a big rock formation with no doors?
    Now, one of the reasons we’ve spent the last month arguing about the debt ceiling is that half of the "teabag" Congress signed a vow to never raise taxes. Someone just handed them something and it wasn’t a gun, a crucifix or a fetus — so they signed it. Why? "Because we’re rugged individuals who love freedom. Now excuse us while we sign this document swearing to do as we’re told." --Bill Maher

    Err, to me it seems premature. The S7 weapons are still out of the drop tables as they are being reviewed again, bosses and other mobs could use more tweeks and various stuff still looks broken or keeps getting changed around every or every other test patch. It just doesn't seem to have settled down to a nice "it's read to go" stage to me. Then last I checked two or three AXP dailies were still out as they aren't ready.

    So I'm reading this as "we need the Halloween patch out now and we can always tinker with S7 some more and add the other AXP dailies later." I'm kinda guessing they'll be sending out "come back to AO and here's ___ days of free play time and look at all the cool new stuff we've added" e-mails so want those two things in the patch.

    Thumbs up Our teletubby

    Music
    A song dedicated to Rubi-Ka, AO and Means

    You're a song
    Written by the hands of god
    Don't get us wrong
    cause this might sound to you a bit odd
    but you own the place
    Where all our thoughts go hiding

    And right on Rubi-Ka
    Is where we find them

    Underneath its crust
    There's an endless story

    There's the man we chose
    There's our teletubby
    And all the things we deserve
    For being such good girls, honey

    Because of you
    We forgot the smart ways to lie
    Because of you
    We're running out of reasons to cry
    When the friends are gone
    When the party's over
    We will still belong to each other

    (Chorus)
    Underneath its crust
    There's an endless story

    There's the man we chose
    There's our teletubby
    And all the things we deserve
    For being such good girls, honey

    We love you more than all that's on the planet
    Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
    You know it's true
    Oh baby it's so funny
    You almost don't believe it
    As every voice is hanging from the silence
    Lamps are hanging from the celing
    Like a lady tied to good manners
    We're tied up to this feeling

    Underneath its crust
    There's an endless story

    There's the man we chose
    There's our teletubby
    And all the things we deserve
    For being such good girls

    Thumbs up for the Haloween items; the chair, backpack, protest placads and removing the NR buff from HH@B, giving it back to TL6 and S7.
    Thumbs down to the Special Edition Kyr'Ozch weapon profession locks..

    But all in all:
    Thank you for listening and happy Halloween

    Kind Regards

    They removed the weapons last test patch to be adjusted and unless they put them back in with no adjustments they are not available now nor may be available on Tues. when it is to hit live either.

    These camps are not missions spots as far as I know.

    Regarding the "can't find mission spot" concern in MW, only a Dev can answer you. Our "work" didn't involve mission spots. To summarize, it was more "let's find everything that doesn't look consistent or that could cause traveling issues" (I'm still on some traveling issues BTW). So "Floaty", the database system (named after the evil Leet that made all those objects float) only records these kinds of issues, at least so far.

    We'll gladly go check missions spots if we can get a list of coordinates, of course.
