    Friday with Means - February 20th, 2009

    I am now looking forward to sleep. No matter how you plan and work for a release like the LOX booster there is always a great deal of pileup as you try to squeeze those little bits of soul into the end of a project. This always results in a great deal of extra hours and sleepless nights towards the "release". That being said, seeing you all cruising around in hoverchairs definitely made it all worth it. I'll do it all again Release days are always a special madhouse.

    Thanks to all who have offered so much of their time and help to make this release one of the smoothest in Anarchy history. Today and last night I was pacing the office waiting for something terrible to explode...today when nothing did I started work on something terrible that IS meant to explode. It was a strange feeling...normally when we release something significant like this there are "issues"..despite the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. I guess I shouldn't complain.

    It was disappointing to not be able to include the 12-man instance at release but we'll get it out (with the perk reset npc plus the tweaks and improvements to the unforseen small issues that have appeared so far) in the very near future. New experiences like this should be up to high standard...or not in until they are. In this case I felt it was better to wait..and to make it better. I'm looking forward to seeing the tactics employed by the community in this challenge.

    I hope you are all enjoying the new content as much as we are enjoying watching it kill you. Thank you all again for the support we get from all of you to make this game the unique experience it is today.

    INCOMING!

    First!

    Must say I'm a little miffed at my first try of X. An hour and a half of prepping the zone. All ruined by one click happy doctor who dotted at a silly time. Timer expires. Everything down the drain. That might also be exacibated by the throbbing headache and searing brain pain from Sector D.

    Ah well. These things happen. Like that strip in Clique Quest depicting a team dropping off wheelbarrows full of keys and loot to a giant menacing monster in one strip, then those same players going off to beat a much weaker version, as we get the hang of it and refine our methods, I'm sure this frustration will pass.

    Interesting booster!

    Worth the wait? Time will tell - many of us have only sampled a small portion of it thus far. I wanna shoot stuff in the chair. Gimme.

    One thing we all seem quite confused about at the moment though, is where these hundreds of solo missions are.

    The whole of the AI quest is solo able until the very last part.

    "A whole new place to run around for ages in then die suddenly without warning."

    "I know who coded pet pathing... and when I see him I say "/follow" and I start waling in to walls :P"

    The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

    I wasn't overall impressed by my first-look at the booster but after spending about 15hrs of playtime I can honestly say that I like what I've seen thus far.

    I was expecting more traditional AO-style missions (i.e. RK/Pen/Inferno) but definitely love doing quests. As I write this, I realize that perhaps more instanced solo content is not what was needed at all. Arid Rift really does provide a good opportunity for solo play without an individual feeling as if they are playing an offline console/pc game. The axp from progressing through just a couple pieces of the rift questline was phenomonal.. even solo as a 220 doctor.

    I enjoyed the challenge of X though I feel that there should be some sort of sk, cred and/or item reward as you go through the different parts (A-F). I haven't heard anyone mention the solo quests available in the canyon area but they are great sk and repeatable.. a nice 'incentive' for 220's helping friends with A-F since they can complete those solo quests along the way.

    Special Kudos for the new cooldown timers. I was really impressed with how helpful those are for perks and nanos.. definitely a welcome addition to the game.

    Keep up the good work.. I can't wait to see the new things coming down the pipeline.
