Quoting Yarlen,

I'm present frequently, but the number of posts makes it difficult to keep up. That said, if I don't have anything to add or don't want to get into the quagmire of debate, I tend to stay silent.

 

Smart....

So you say the devs communicate less than with Fallen Enchantress?

Right. Putting aside replies within threads, there were... what, *8* dev journals for FE in the month April alone? Then another seven threads started in the "Sneak Peek" section that month.

This is getting off track, though, I was just saying how much more quiet it's been than previous Ironclad/Stardock releases. I'm not saying they're not doing a good job or aren't working their butts off (I'm sure they are), just that they've been far more quiet.

Also, Yarlen, I can understand your desire not to get into debate quagmires but for me, a simple weekly-ish update would be really cool as to what the Team is working on, what kind of feedback they're interested in, any little news tidbits that you can share, etc.

Apparently the Vasari are a bunch of crybabies.

Quoting Raketensegler80, reply 45Hmm, that makes the Titan much less powerful in combat, since Desperation could increase damage and damage reduction by quite a margin.

 

Did they remove the technology in the tech tree? I guess they have, otherwise it would make no sense for the VLT to have an ability he can only use with mid-high end techs.

 

At least I have something to do when I come home...

 

Part of the Desperation might have been moved to Suffusion, but not exactly sure about that. I do not think this particular thing was a bad move, since Suffusion and Desperation were IMHO fairly similar abilities...

 

Yep, that is the case, only Desperation remians as a passive skill. Which is a nice buff.

 

But it is bugged currently and does not increase in effectiveness with levels and remains at level one even though I had it on level 3. It shows the new level during level up but the total does not increase and the passive bonus the VLT got in combat remained the same as on level 2 (2% damage reduction and +15% damage with maximum stacking)

 

I don't really know what the phase stabilizer on the VLT  is supposed to do. In the description is written, that it allows reinforcements via Dark Fleet even if you have only your capitol or titan. When you activate it, it does nothing and if it serves as a phase stabilizer it only works in the same solar system as normal. The MAW workes as usual.

 

Tomorrow I will test what happens, if I scuttle all my planets.

We want daily updates!  If all you did was stand at the water cooler and tell dirty jokes, share a few!  If you sat and played minesweeper to see who could get the office high score, we want to know what the high score was so we can best it!  

Don't you devs know that we hang on every word that comes out of your fingertips?  What cool ideas are you looking at?  What's being updated for next patch?  Whowhat where when why and how many?

 

These are our burning questions that set fire to our loins and no amount of Thirst Quencher can fix!

This is why heroes don't reveal their identies-preying fans who want to dictate what they should do or not do.

As a game dev, trust me, there isn't always anything to really report.  You report stuff when you can, which they do.

More importantly, in my experience, players don't get told things because individual devs aren't sure what's safe to tell the players so to be sure, we have to wait for the lead to go on the forums and talk about it.  Maybe Starclad isn't like that, but what I've done is.

OMG Did I REALLY just advocate Twitter?  I HATE Twitter.  Though I'd get it if the Sins development team used it.

 

-Team member 1:  @Fyrstar In bathroom, shook it more than twice.

-Team member 2:  @SithlordAJ Toilet paper got stuck in the Dark Side, trying to use the Force to get it out.
