Hey Everyone -
We're ready to roll out the first update to SSC. This version contains mostly under the hood changes that shouldn't really change anything on your end, but should make the underlying code faster/less lag prone.
Let's tone it down a bit here.
I personally don't believe that encouraging people to make the best out of a low point is generally unhelpful, it can be quite fun and exhilarating to run into a fight underhanded and pull off a victory you …I'll throw a quick comment about a couple of things
Re: combat spam - one of the things I would like to look at is reducing 3rd party messages in an effort to also help reduce lag. If you think about it, sending the first and second perso…Sorry, I missed this additional question.
the answer is still no, they do not.No, they do not.Goop is unboundOne last thing I want to say here -
When we first announced this - Parhelion received a lot of grief almost to the point of retirement and I announced that those of you that may have contributed to that should be ashamed of yourselves. <…All retirements have been pushed through at this point.
We were waiting to confirm them as retirement is a permanent decision and we wanted to make sure that people were not making any decisions they would come to later regret. We do reg…One thing that appears we did not communicate clearly is that the event tomorrow is not just for Ixion and Mag/Gaudu/Seren. The event is for both sides and for everyone to take part in and enjoy.
Again, we apologize if that wasn't clear …I decided to go to bed early last night because my responses were not relaying what I was attempting to convey.
I think the main issue here is that I'm coming from a different perspective than everyone else. We're attempting a solution th…(Quote) Because it means that you're getting something and they're not because they had bad luck with lag that potentially ruined their chances. It's back to the same thought process as why I don't think 2 TA's for your side is fair when only…(Quote) I'm sorry, but I don't agree that these don't diminish the other side. We already decided that (and we've already mentioned this) that we don't think anything less than making Ixion a TA would be acceptable to Mag/Gaudi/Seren, mechani…(Quote) Just to be clear here- we were never taking away that Parhelion got to 3600 first. I don't know exactly what the event entails, that's not in my purview and I've been too busy responding here to be involved on that side, b…You're right, Glom/Celest/Halli worked really hard and competed well and ended up the first side to 3600. You did win, and as a result you have Parhelion as your TA.
I'm sorry about my poor choice of words there. It wasn't the way I meant…Ok, Here's what's happening
I'm operating in this discussion as if X = 5.
You are operating as if X = 10.
You are now asking me to answer the question 'what is X+ 5?' and I'm replying 10 and you're trying to tell me …I'm super confused by what you're trying to play here.
Glom/Celest/Halli get Parhelion - the TA they fought for.
Mag/Gaudi/Seren get Ixion - the TA they fought for
They both have one TA, the TA they fought for. They are bo…So your point is that we should make Glom/Celest/Halli happy by giving them two TA's and Mag/Gaudi/Seren are supposed to be happy with one TA? You are asking if giving your side two TA's is hurting them any more than you are hurt by giving them one …These hindsight arguments don't really hold a lot of weight for me. For any of these 'If I had known' arguments being presented, the simple fact is had we known this would occur, we would have enacted changes to ensure it didn't and all of you would…Getting off topic here again, pull it back in please.
I am home now, I'll work on a response but it'll be a bit.This is getting of topic again, let's try to bring it back. Thank youI think that's part of the issue - that it's become an issue of which narrative we're following. That we're somehow taking one side's narrative and ignoring the other because they complained less. That we're promoting the 'complain for change' proce…(Quote)
This was one of the first things that was brought up when we discussed it. We said that had Ixion won while Choros was still at 700ish points, it was unlikely we would have offered him this same opportunity but had Ixion won af…
Yes, we knew that some people would be upset about our decision no matter which way we went. I'll say this again. We knew that people would be upset no matter what we did. If we chose to roll with the result, one side is alienated. If w…Let's make sure we're staying on topic here.I already said I would speak to Aonia about yours and others concerns here Ayisdra - we've spoken briefly but did not come to any consensus. I certainly understand these feelings and think they are very valid concerns. I don't have anything more I c…Both sides complain. It's incredibly disingenuous to sit here and try to take some high ground that you don't 'complain half as much.' You don't personally, but that's not even remotely true of your side.
Some of you 'persistently remaine…(Quote) Yeah, we get that, that's our problem to tackle though. I really think we can do so though.I guess I misunderstood what you meant by back-end conversation Xenthos, I don't view our conversation with Parhelion or Ixion as 'back-end.'
I assumed you meant responding and answering things like messages in-game, on the forums, or in …I don't think it's weak to own a mistake and work towards correcting it and making sure it doesn't occur again in the future. Learning from mistakes is the only way this game will progress positively. I don't think it's weak to make concessions beca…@Parhelion - I'm sorry that a decision we made has affected you so negatively and drawn all this attention towards you. I'm sorry we put you in this positi…
