Cut this poo poo out. It's like blaming a teller for a bad mortgage, it's rude and ignorant.

Number19 isn't in a department that has any say in the product, isn't senior enough to have an opinion that matters (sorry 19), and listening to feedback from random threads on random forums isn't a good way to gather meaningful data anyway.

It was a joke about how benzos mess with memory and recall. Get with it and chill out, square.

Niko Snow is a shitlord, possibly the biggest one you haven't yet met if you think he's number19. Niko Snow is so bad, IGP fired him. PGI is so bad, they re-hired him directly.

I jumped on to see the new map this morning, just after it went up.

It was a weird cloud cuckoo land of hovering pyramids and incessant rubberbanding.

Map looks nice, though!

The initial patch was missing an asset file that made it looks like stuff was floating and causing weird collision issues. We've issued another patch that resolves that issue. The map still has spots where you can get stuck though.

For the missing file, I can't honestly tell you how it happened. As for the "the map is rough" part, this is an early preview. The announcement for it on Public Test stated that the map is rough around the edges and that there will be collision problems.

I thought lovely collision modeling of terrain was a feature, given that lovely collision modeling didn't change at any point from beta onwards because :effort:

And while the planes aren't as customizable as mechs, there's 300+ planes and some of the weirdass WWII gimmick/improvisational warplanes own.

You're right, maybe PGI should create a pre-alpha public test server to test things before they put them on the TEST server. :v:

No worries brosef, we took our autism chariots and switched from wasting money on $10 robbits to investing in $250+ spaceships for Star Citizen :v:

Also, what Fil said. Right now the game is roll or be rolled with no close matches. Playing with goons generally means rolling the pubbies for most of the night.

No, but they should at least PRETEND like they test their changes locally and at a minimum have a continuous integration policy. But it's :pgi: so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they didn't even know what that meant.

Does MWO really make enough money to keep Paul in Roberts/Star Citizen-level coke and hookers?

It's probably more like meth and the dealer's cousin from the trailer park.
