I added some sanity checks to the volume code but as someone who mostly develops with everything set to 0% I never had this happen sad

Lazer bots seem to have the issue most commonly, if I could describe a situation that's guaranteed to cause it then I would but so far it does seem entirely random.

Hope the forums are still available during the downtime, else Ville may die due to lack of bad posting.

Good to see word finally coming down, even if we were sort of left blindfolded on the edge of an abyss.

The 1 EP per minute should have been cut in half. 

+1 adding a 50% boost to new steam purchases.

Agreeing with Ville, this is a dark day.

But yeah, I agree - bundling an EP boost into the steam release would be nice, gives the new players more EP, decreases initial expenditure, AND lets the players see how much better having a booster is and leave them coming back for more wink tongue

A little known feature is that you can doubleclick on empty storage space to select all (works anywhere, between icons, after rows, at the end, etc.). I'll try to check what's up with the highlights.

It's fair to say the change to make it impossible to farm NPC's that couldn't path to you was needed in order to balance beacons, but I mean seriously, was it actually tested? We've already had half a dozen bug fixes relating too it, but bots are still randomly self destructing as they decide they can't path to you despite the fact you're on entirely flat terrain, quite a few times today while missioning i've wandered over to my mission objective, opened fire, only to have the mobs look quizically at me and then simply self destruct for no mission credit or loot.

Irritating to say the least.

To phrase it in a less "ville" way, I've been running into an issue where despite my sound being set to 0%, occasionally a sound, i.e - a Lazor being fired at my bot, will be played, seemingly at 100% volume, which is to say a level of volume which is prone rupturing ear drums.

Also ville is terrible and can't find the appropriate section but apparently we love him anyway.... or so I'm told.

Corps can field enough manpower to handle beacons in open areas, as one alliance was doing at Tellesis earlier today.
But the NPCs that follow you forever completely eliminate the tactic of kiting ... Meaning a newer player trying to farm a low level spawn will not be able to do so solo. Throwing sand back into the sandbox is fine, but not if you end up burying the kids playing in it. Needs a balance.

haha I had that the other other day on an alpha 2, was farming a spawn after having dragged it about 1000 meters from the spawn and noticing that newly spawned NPC's would still walk the 1000 distance in order to come try fight me (despite it being a passive spawn), I got bored and walk off to fight a new spawn only to half way through have 2 passive mobs from the previous spawn run over the hill and start shooting me again, actually almost got me killed

Erm why exactly would you need a randomselection extension? The wiki needs content, not bling-bling.

Making a nicer looking homepage was among the first things I went to do, when I thought it was even more content bare than it actually is just so I could add a home/wip page - I tried to have

[racial logo] [perpetuum logo] [racial logo]

at the top of the homepage, but have the racial logos randomized.

Short term for content addition the extensions ARE a non-factor but long term wanting to make a nicer looking public wiki extensions come in damn useful, but as I said I think I'll assist with the official regardless as, well it's the official wiki - and worry about stuff like that in the future.

A very naked todo list (i.e it doesnt contain a great deal, as I like to be able to do the entire list in short bursts, and because it has no editting) can be found here

I admire your initiative but Devs would much rather you support the official one: http://wiki.perpetuum-online.com/index.php/Main_Page.

A deeper look shows alot more work has been done to it than I initially thought, though my initial point that mediawiki is damn awful still stands - May have slog through it and work on the official, as I agree I would much rather work on the official if possible.

However the fact it's -
1) Mediawiki
2) Badly set up, I mean it doesn't even have the randomselection extension plugged in, which has to be done by the devs/Wiki admin

Is still exceptionally annoying, maybe a dev can shine some light on the easiest way to get extensions etc added to the wiki

So.... what I'm suggesting is you guys have a good clean up of the website before the steam release in April just because some parts don't ~really~ give the right impression to new players, or scream "this game is active!", basically decided to write this down after accidentally clicking the news tab.

So -

  • News Tab - The most recent article is from 2011

  • Press release - The lasted listed press release is from 2010

  • Press Coverage - A rather admireable amount of coverage.. but from 2009-11

  • Most Dangerous Agent - A really cool idea that I personally love, but for the steam release it screams inactivity, let's be frank, alot of perpetuum players are EvE players, and I could get 20 kills in just as many minutes in EvE, maybe hide it for release and bring it back when the pop is up?

  • Links page -

    • The Xfire link shows a staggering 0 hours of perpetuum played per day and the game ranking at Xfire rank 3111

    • Foom's version of the wiki has had a CSS error for as long as I can remember, the website is still there is just looks awful

    • Incoming transmission hasn't been active since 2011

    • Perpetuum calcs github doesn't even have perpetuum calc on it anymore

    • Yet another badly populated wiki link

    • And the french fansite that again hasn't been active since 2011

  • RSS Feed - Pulls from the news page, so is obviously outdated too

That's just what a rudimentary browse found that in my opinion, just makes the game look sloppy and/or inactive, which is not the image of what the game truly is, and definitely not the image I think should be promoted going into the steam release.

Thanks,
X
