It's interesting they brought up BluestreakBTHR first but they left out the correspondence he had with Sandi that included a screenshot of his posting on the forums. That's straight up damning, right there. It's mentioned but they only have the SMS messages.

Also, he should have mentioned that they've been monitoring Reddit as well.

I would like to say that Archage get a pass because of the English publisher (Trion) actions. The game, by itself, is fine by MMO standards. All the others on the list are single player (except for SC that does not exist yet) and have only its studio to blame.

Lowtax's pocketbooks thank you for the 10 dollars to change Derek Smart's avatar, kind redditor

It's like how they can't do the down sizing math. If 10 people exit a company, and they hire 4, that means they're still down 6 people. I've been arguing this all day on Twitter.

Same here. They spend $10 to buy an avatar which is barely going to last but a few hours and which costs me $5 to change back.

Beer they probably aren't telling David Swofford the truth, though I doubt he's that interested. His email address is on this press release if you wanted to ask him to stop responding to the gaming media with allegations against you that are untrue, as that's not very nice.

He's probably a decent bloke, maybe if he figures out how dodgy all this is there is less chance of somebody else getting hosed over in the same way.

He is. But he goes way back with Chris and can't be relied upon to be unbiased or impartial.

Backface or occlusion culling bug of some sort; renderers generally don't render any triangle that would not be visible from the current camera viewpoint, due to being blocked by other objects or on the backside of a triangle currently visible, for efficiency. But if there's a bug with how the check to see if the triangle is visible from the current view or not is done, it will skip rendering triangles that really should be rendered, giving invisible geometry.

Given that when the bug occurs, the character is near the outer edge of the ship, and thus on the boundary of both a physics space and a zone (and thus, a coordinate system), I'm guessing the camera position managed to get erroneously reported in a different coordinate space outside the ship, leading to most of the visibility checks being calculated incorrectly. Notice the remaining visible geometry is all stuff that would normally be rendered from an outside view of the ship.

That sounds almost right but the problem with this theory is that the player characters seem to lose the physics grid they were attached to so something worse is happening, not sure what though.

I would disagree because I feel the bare minimum in MMO standards should be don't completely trust the client so client side hacks run rampant. That game had more ridiculous game breaking hacks than any MMO I've seen. People would teleport all over the place, make themselves invincible, snipe housing plots even when they didn't appear online. poo poo was ridiculous.

The ship combat and goon drama was good though, I'll give it that.

If you want to get more value out of your avatar purchase, I'd avoid Derek and target one of the top five posters in the thread.

So what happened to Loiosh? He's been AWOL since Dec 14th. I think he hopes that when he comes back, we'd have forgotten that he pledged to get a refund.

note to the person who bought the latest Smart avatar: it's a bit too ambiguous in it's messaging. For example, it could easily be interpreted as Smart saying that to the reader of his post, demonstrating his take-it-or-leave-it attitude to other viewers. Next time you should be more specific in order to demonstrate dislike of the poster himself. hth.

His faith was clearly being shaken, I think he said he was getting a refund? His self imposed deadline for CIG to get their act together meant he missed the refund window though. :( It's kind of tragic.

No but he's a media professional and should know better than to become the story, which is what he's done twice now by issuing sourced comments that aren't true. Even if it's only to cover his own arse he shouldn't leave himself open like that, issuing press releases with inaccurate information in them is stupid too like saying there's a planet and 2 moons to explore in 2.0.
