@spoletta said in Store & Launcher Download Ready!:

If you are referring to me(...)

I was not. I was referring to the user that was supporting 'certain actions' (a bit difficult to express without 'political discussion').

@spoletta said in Store & Launcher Download Ready!:

(...)I would kindly ask you to not twist my words from "I believe in the positive effects of dialogue between countries" (...) That was also a personal view on this issue that I shared with you outside the bounds of my duty as a moderator, because I thought of you as a friend after all this time spent together on this project(...)

As stated, I do not think that you support war crimes, I said that the moderation decisions side with people who do. I can fully understand that you want to encourage and create a place where everybody can feel secure and welcome, but I do not want to be part of a space where people that support malicious real life actions feel save and welcome. Not because of their origin, but because of their actions. As for your quote, it's not an actual quote from the conversation, but, as you said, you provided a personal view and as such I'm going to keep it private.

@spoletta said in Store & Launcher Download Ready!:

(...)Political discussions are banned by rule(...)

I ensured that there was no such rule mentioned on the Discord posting before engaging the conversation. Non of the 11 rules mentions politics (or, didn't at that time).

@spoletta said in Store & Launcher Download Ready!:

(...)f you have any complaints about the way I moderate this forum and the discord you are welcome to forward your complaints to the devs(...)

I did, thanks for the advice.

@MrFlako said in Store & Launcher Download Ready!:

(...)you're also prob from California.

I'm German. For nearly a century I have been told that Germans have been complicit in actions I can not mention without delving into politics because they enabled these actions by remaining silent. Even if it hurts me personally, I can not remain silent and do not accept the fact that claiming a certain decision by Gamigo was the best (and only good) decision by that company is now condemned as 'hate speech' by the very same moderation team that signed a contract with Gamigo and that has been previously defending that very decision back when it was obviously not 'hate speech'.

@gothix said in Special weekly market:

(...)However, players will be able to put their own products on market stands. So what you wish here can easily work, just instead of NPC sellers, players will be sellers.

Bunch of players agree on location, bring their own stuff, put stands, and sell. Even better then NPCs, more lively.

That's the spirit!
I wish I could give you more than one like
I am like many in this thread, against NPCs doing it, but I am fully in favor or players organizing special events.

@tulukaruk said in Respawn planet:

@finland cause going back should be more troublesome then just clicking on portal

That'd be the question. Since we know that people need to cooperate in order to open a gate between the planets, it could very well be that one part of demons tackles the 'opening' part and another is the invading force, once the portal is used up, the 'builders' instantly go to creating the next one and the invaders would just 'click' on it.
That'd mean both ' not easy' (requires massive coordination and teamwork on a completely PvP spot) and yet 'just click' at the same time.

@kralith said in Labyrinth 2 soon ?:

I think once we enter the Alpha1 we will get much more attention for the game and more people come in.
To reach the goals will be an easy going then, if we all announce the game and our streamer going to spread the word about it.
(...)

The problem is that it's highly unlikely for Alpha 1 footage being available before 2019, considering that pre-alpha hasn't event started by now. And the 'stretch goal funding process' ends 2018. Maybe we should petition @Prometheus to extend stretch funding as much as Alpha 1 is delayed?

Hehe, that happened to me ages ago as well, so welcome to the club there @Phaethonas !
You're going to get used to it

@gofrit said in Labyrinth 2 soon ?:

Well done ! Now we need to achieve Enhanced Character Creation !

Sweet! It's great to see the constant progress and I can't wait to see how it is going to jump once there is Alpha 1 footage

Hehe, now I'm impatiently waiting for the news telling me when to start waiting for the Kickstarter! Such irony

@33hp said in Ruined mines:

(...)large number of players there will be problems with resources(...)

I'm not sure if that is necessarily bad? Conflict can arise through shortage of resources and that can drive player interaction. I'd see that as a positive side for multi player games.

I think you misunderstood suruq's question @muker , he wasn't asking about a daily quest reward, but about maintenance of the server (a small timeframe where servers are saving data in case something happens and data has to be restored later on, together with clearing any issues that might have occured since the last maintenance).
I don't think we know and answer to that yet.

I concur that the entire focus of the developers should be (and likely is) on developing the game right now. As for most topics being old, there is only so much you can discuss about a game that isn't released yet. Too much is speculation, too much subject to change, too much to be tested before commented on.

@jahlon said in daily maintenance:

They already said there will be regional sercers.

'Once the userbase grows (or from the start, if large enough), we can start deploying regional servers.'
There is no guarantee, this only happens once the user base is large enough.

@jahlon said in daily maintenance:

As far as server maintenance gotta remember it's when dev's are up, a wake, and working. You may be in luck, since the dev's are in Italy

That can be automated. There is no need for the developers to be awake.

@troismurs said in Ranking against total population:

(...)it helps provide players and money(...)

I'd dare to argue that there is a potential benefit to this, but limited.
Whereas there is a far greater potential in being able to reveal more, visual appealing, content (gameplay videos), which requires a lot of effort and manpower.
Or in other terms, it gets you a lot more players to show progress on developing the game then having a decent foundation-leaderboard.

@jetah said in daily maintenance:

(...) Every log out of a character can be a saved/backup state so you don’t lose the character details(...)

Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not trying to criticize you (I highly value your feedback), but instead I am trying to understand your level of proficiency in programming, so that I can respond in a reasonable way.
Do you know the difference in deep and shallow copy of object instances in OOP?

@jetah said in daily maintenance:

(...)I seriously doubt WoW and Eve do world copies every week.

I honestly have no idea how WoW or EVE handle their servers, I've never played either.

@jahlon said in daily maintenance:

(...)Mistakes happen(...)

Most certainly, but that is where watchdogs come into play, which should be running regardless, given that you want to be capable of a fast reaction 24/7.

@thwunk said in Ranking against total population:

(...)So I'm not going to hold my breath for a pre-alpha key(...)

While you should not count on it, there is a chance to 'win the weekly random lottery' and hence get an invite through that. Better then to hope for a spot in the top 100 foundation

@grofire said in Switching Characters:

(...) prepare an alts characters take a lot of time and resources.

Wasn't the whole point of horizontal progression to ensure that having a competitive character would NOT take a lot of time and effort? As in being able to pull your weight in battle on day 1-2, depending only on player skill?

@thwunk said in Ranking against total population:

(...)odds are just 19,963 to 1(...)

Not at all. You're going to realize that you can skew the odds heavily by developing the 'right' posting habits. I have won 12 times so far and I am not the only one with multiple wins if you take a closer look at the postings that present a list of who won which week.

Personally, I always prefer local (realistic) inventory, as it adds 'complex situation' (such as having to carry stuff from A to B and getting robbed), but since the game carters more to the casual player, I think you're going to have plenty a 'vanity' feature like that.

@thwunk said in Ranking against total population:

(...)see if I can develop the "right " habits.

Check the 'new postings' for something you consider interesting. See if you could somehow contribute to the discussion, just don't force anything. Do that once a day and you have great odds to win.

And even more importantly, we need continued funding to help the developers create the game they want to! Progress is the one thing to convince people to contribute financially to a game once the 'main hype' is over.

@specter said in Anyone else dying to know how Pre-Alpha testing is going?:

@solaris SpatialOS isn't something you just implement, it's the very foundation of the game and intertwined with the code.

Just an explanation of what I think @Solaris meant:
Some companies set different priorities and spend time developing the client first (an example of that strategy would be Chronicles of Elyria, which had been announced as planning to use SpatialOS as well).
