Love the work on the faces, quite a difference. The last images looked a lot like Betty Boop hehehehehe

Well I think you can consider using my PM as questions for the next FwM too

Would love to know the answer to the engines hehehehe.

Because the current engine can't handle complex bounding boxes (where the dev says it's solid or not).

I believe it handles more then a cube but matching this solid area with furniture, grounds and such would lag badly. I guess many places our chars aren't touching the ground because of this too.

Now I'm curious, I'm eager to know next Friday if the new engine can give us better collisions and bounds for our chars to walk/sit on.

I think gathering in a new superclub in orbit would add style to our future events. ......

If a new nightclub in a space station means not reachable by lowbie froobs...

If a new nightclub in a space station means another place to separate the veterans and higher levels from the lowbies....

Please don't do it.

Use it as a tool to get players together and not the other way around.

sidenote : yay for adding social content !

There's a nice easy way for Froobs to get more content.

The upcoming rendering engine has -nothing- to do with things like collisions - it merely redoes the way the images on your screen are created and look.

I honestly have mixed feelings about letting froobs up or not

as a former froob myself they have it rough, but then again u can always subscribe for more content and items, then again most ppl that stay froob do not have the money to get a subscription.

but bump for that idea

he does have somewhat of a valid point on the seperation of lowbies and higher lvled players, but honestly i dont think it will be that bad if they arent allowed

[Cool-Down timers will now display visually on icons on the shortcut bar for nanos and perks.]

I love the change but there seems to be a slight issue now with the attacks that were not added to the timer.

The timers work great for the items that have the timers on them. My issue is coming from all the attacks that do not.

Since the update the attacks without timer have no longer been in sync with the visuals on the hotbar.

This is what is happening to me. Ill use Aim Shot for example. I hit an AS and the icon goes grey as it always has before as well as the other attacks. The problem is that they are not staying grey until the attack is ready to use again or after area change. So I'm finding myself spamming attacks and trying to figure out why they arn't firing. With MA attacks for example I can no longer tell if they still in recharge or the target is resisting them without watching the chat window at all time.

It seems that this randomly happening around 10-15 sec before the attack is ready or the attacks are showing ready after an area changes when they are actually not.

My question is can we get timers added to the other attacks or at least get them back to working the way they were before the change, so we visually know when the attacks are ready?

And ...

A lot of paying customers were at one given point, froobs.

One of the reasons i upgraded was to have some of the nice items i saw equiped in other players.

If i don't see other players besides froobs, i have nothing to look up to.

cheers,

well, it was a paid player that i met in the subway that pretty much made me decide to go full exp.

we lvled in subway, thru totw, then foremans, i got to lvl 90ish and joined a awesome org, and the rest is history

I just wish everyone would stop beating up on froobs/new players, because really this is the ultimate killer of anything, im willing to help out anyone thats new, without question.

no need to degrade someone thats still learning how to walk/sit/attack. matter a fact i helped a lowbie out this past weekend, and u know what? he SUBSCRIBED, messaged me back blah, about 4 hrs later and i teamed with him some and told him some things to do etc..etc..how to change maps, clicksaver, etc

this is what helps

**rustinel** · Mar 23rd, 2009, 20:26:50

Why is everyone assuming froobs/lowbies will be unable to go up there? Froobs can attend Battlestation already, it would hardly be different for a social area.

Who is degrading anyone if we say that froobs already have enough content and if they want some more they can subscribe.
Everything new that comes out there is someone asking "will froobs get that too?". Its getting really old. If they are so keen on getting new stuff they can simply you know.... start paying for the game.

I think I'm starting to hate froobs more than neuts

**Watermoose** · Mar 24th, 2009, 05:48:28

You know, Not everyone right now has the money to pay for a game. The money might be needed for more important things. I recently had to stop paying for the game. Most the people who play this game are froobs, anyhow. Another thing people Don't realize is, most players play BECAUSE the game is free.
