Now we'll have the pleasure of waiting for another deadline to be broken.
It's finally ending...Yay! How long was it? 6 months?
thanks for taking the suggestion to merge the mystics page etc on board.
a personal suggestion from me as well as other users is to leave the names, labels etc. there's no real reason to change them after all.
would it be too much to ask, for the text messages such as the army messages to be broken up into paragraphs so pasting them on irc for the bot to pickup can be done properly?
Adapt your tools to work with the game, not the game to work with your tools.
So I guess they don't care testers are being deleted for no reason. Whatever, I just won't play your (soppy) game.
Could we get a wol end date announced that will be adhered to? Im playing the beta code and it seems to be a couple weeks away. Then it needs to be tested on genesis for however long. Could we do a standard 12 week wol age for this age, and do 1 more 12 week age on the old code? As with many projects, you can never have enough time to tinker with it, and I'm sure the community would rather see direction rather than not knowing how to play out the Wol age.
considering the problems they have now with the old code, I would like to see the new code on WoL as soon as possible. I think we are close enough to a "normal" age on WoL as is.
except these "problems" have nothing to do with the old code
Alright then, time to jump back in.
like i guess b4 about the last 2 eoa of wol (and was right about them ^^) and also that gen will end in 1-2 weeks .... i have also wrote here from the start that is going to be around 12 weeks age anyway from what i can tell ....Quote:

it will also be best to just end it at the end of oct :))
btw like puppy101 sug to fix "army messages to be broken up into paragraphs" (which i think its a good idea) i also would like to ask something
1) add kd nw and enemy nw in cb
2) race & schools in sci page
i have a few more but if they will do only those 2 it will be great :P
Are you suggesting a SoS gives you race, schools, AND science? That's retarded.Quote:
2) race & schools in sci page
its for the tools whats retarded about that?!Quote:

and i am asking to also add the other 2 missing info so it will help the tools out there (btw i meat for Libraries % sorry)
1) Acres (they already added this)
2) Race Bonus
3) Libraries Effects
Good to hear about the progress S&B, 8th October is marked!:)
Libraries effects will give you something you need to get with a survey... I'm against that.Quote:

What I would like to see:
1) attack message broken into paragraphs with acre gain and return time highlighted
2) colored succes/fail on spells (red for fail, green for success)
3) space between name and location (atm they are sticked together)
4) star should be next to race rather than prov name (current one can ruin themes)
5) what is ^ at the end of prov name? remove that
6) change som back to 2 decimals (you said you won't change game mechanics)
7) merge spells into one combobox already
8) merge relations/cfs/war into one. Atm it's retarded
9) separate button for DR/level/wage
agree with all except somQuote:

It's about time SoM was remade.
goodz's idea is 3 times better than this increase of decimals :)
Make a shrine where you can offer peasants to Absalom
If succesful pleasing the Gods of Utopia Absalom aligned kingdoms cannot attack your province for 24 hours.
There's some pretty blatant farming/multi abuse going on on beta. Are there any measures in effect to combat this before this is moved to Genesis?
i just saw 4 multies get deleted so smt is being done- you can send in a bug report with the subject "multies" etc to log cheaters, but afaik the developers are concentrating on bugs now, idk if that means the cheat detection scripts dont exist or are turned off right now. i do know that they said that the way they coded teh game will allow them to develop better cheat detection mechanics than are currently used.Quote:

Can anyone tell me if DHaran Pwns All is still in ()? I still can't login, and nobody seems to care.
My only concern is them having no detection for multis and that carries over into genesis.Quote:

so what is the reason why you have to extend genesis yet another week? it's already gone on 6.5 months which is completely beyond comprehension at this point.
JUST TAKE THE DAMN THING DOWN NOW... especially since you're not bringing it back up with beta right away.
And had they taken it down with no warning you probably would have complained about that. You are complaining for the sake of complaining on this one. They are ending Gen, just say "Thank you, it's about f'ing time."
no one is forced to play gen - just quit.
Bishop, shut up. and how many of us have been literally screaming at them to end gen. it's at 6.5 months.
and as i've said before, i will not desert my kingdom until the bitter end. we're top 4 so my quitting would hurt them.
But since they're not bringing it back up right away, why CAN'T they just say, ok, you have 24 or 48 hours and it's done. absolutely no one will scream over that.
horrible logic. No one is forced to play WoL but if WoL was up for 6 months everyone would be saying to bring it down immediately. I know Gen is a joke but some people (like Luth) take it seriously.Quote:

so, since they're not bringing it back up right away, end it so there's no genesis for 2 weeks?Quote:

yes, Nuriho... that's exactly what i'm saying.
they COULD have started a new age 3 months ago, but chose to prolong it to be a lifetime thing... REALLY stupid choice. Absolutely NO ONE would have been complaining then because we would have only been looking at 2 regular ages. instead of the promised 3-4 WEEK age.
no one is going to miss it for 2 weeks.
It;s cos u didn't activate your email. You know, yellow thingy on topright corner :)Quote:

I find it unlikely that the code will be ready to go in October if the number of bugs is that great. I don't play Gen so do not care either way tbh.
Why not ask someone, or a small team, from the player base to help out with Categorizing the bugs? There are plenty of us that would like to help speed things along.Quote:
A side effect of having so many testers is that we’re now receiving more bug reports in each day than we can triage. By triage, I mean the process of categorizing the reported bug, looking for duplicate reports of it, figuring out if there is really a problem, deciding what next actions to take on it, and prioritizing it. At the moment, we’re at capacity just triaging the bug reports, with little time left over for actually fixing them.
you fail :)Quote:
