@Specter said in What happened to the test?:

The devs were unable to figure out what's the issue with the server so they're waiting for the SpatialOS engineers to look into it on Monday. That's why the servers are down for the time being. Once the issue has been resolved the devs are planning to host another stress test weekend, hopefully before Christmas.

This is what Specter said to someone else ^

you will be getting another free test as soon as they have fixed the issue, the server was playable before this so its possible a packet issue, and the more people the more the server is struggling with what ever the error is.

the servers are fine when only 20-30 people are online (the paid players have paid 100s for this privileged)

and you will get another free test as soon as the problem is fixed - no point runing the server in to the ground and letting everyone have a horrible experience, just to let the three day test run its course, when the server currently has a unfix-able issue

Seen this happen on a server using single threads to transfer packet data, was not spartial os though.
The solution they found was to multi thread the packet data so it dosent get a backlog (and essentially ddos its self)

Are the foundation skins going to be one use items?

If I use the wolf skin on a bad mount and a batter faster mount appears am I doomed to use the slower mount if I want to use that skin?

Or will skins be usable over and over again so as I upgrade I can swap and change between how I want to look?

Thanks cant wait to jump in game with a few friends who want to try before they buy

Oh nowswser bolded text

@asspirin well sometimes you did need some strength or dex for certain items and if you hped to much stats you could gimp what gear you could have on,
There was a skill reset too from the first act quest, if you wanted to change your entire build or made a mistake, you could save 3 copy of that for each difficulty

Smooth in and out

Diablo 2 had a few limited resets, but if you wanted a different build you made a new char, I like this system as each char feels diffrent and has diffrent uses keep it limited imo

Congratulations

Trying to daily but dont always remember

@asspirin said in Future armor ideas:

Concerning armour: i hope for at least little bit of realism (0% WoW, 5% Diablo III, 40% GRIM DAWN, 55% DIABLO II). But as long we can transmute same type of armour and weapons to another skin, everything goes.

Concerning weapons: same - please, make weapons at least little bit historically accurate - at least for human race, demons and beast will sure have stronger muscles, but human with 5 kg- 10kg weighting 1h sword is silly

They will also have steam power steampunk gear so a steam hydraulic style arm to help humans use bigger weapons is not out the question

@asspirin said in Hello! What makes players most excited. here>:

@Farlander But it´s gonna be tedious work, as with 400 (1200) abilities, proper balance is going to be pretty hard, because balance is not about single abilities, but synergies between them. Some combos will sure be imbalanced (for example in ABILITY DRAFT game mode of DotA2 you could pick skills you wished to make some super imbalanced heroes). But problem is if you nerf one ability, the combo causing the nerf will be balanced, but the ability might be too weak to be picked for other builds.

Luckily everyone can make OP builds ... let´s hope only the most OP ones will be nerfed (or some certain combinations of abilities, that might be too strong).

Could just make it so certain skill synergies only give a % of what they Normally do to balance said op skills keeping the skill viable for all builds

Life didnt give us lemons, they are man made

@Gothix said in Completionist Titles:

Guys 1000 is way low number...unless you are asking consecutive kill of 1000 without dying to anything in between and perhaps limited by time.

Numbersfor such achievementshould be 100000+ if you don't want everyone to have them inside few days.

why not a random number?

Why is 100000 not a random number?

@Xzoviac said in Completionist Titles:

killing enough of a certain mob to get a title, such as 1000 chickens and you get Chicken kicker

Good example what there should not be.

Killing lets say 50 dragons and you get a title of Dragonslayer is a different thing already.

Rather have chicken kicker then dragonslayer
