The_Nightbird: Question: I submitted a support case 7 days about about a bug that lets people get 100% hits w/o misses and no response... how long should I wait for a response? Or should I post the bug on exploit on EF?
silverbane: :p
Shadow-Ale: Teilk: have you tried it yourself? it kinda sucks, all people do is watch porn
Daddy: underestimating your opponent is a bad thing to do in business ^_^
Marco_MindArk: Einstein, you are correct.
Teilk: ahh, but its a valid question

Einstein: if not you should try it ;p
Skam: Einstein, what a shameless plug ;)
Einstein: haha
Jorael: there are some rumors about some timemachine that allows you to go back to early Calypso and grab mod faps for TT+100...

Thehostman entered the room.
Frank_MindArk: Im actually at home
Skam: oops 21: 00
Shadow-Ale: Skam: he's a swede you know
Teilk: marco is getting old..
Skam: hehe
Jorael: sleep is overrated
Atalanta: see you, and reboot the Twin server along with the network !
Einstein: Frank I still think you should make Amethera more exciting
Jorael: zzZzzZz *snors*
Shadow-Ale: frank: thanks for wasting time with us at least :)
Einstein: It's still pretty boring
Thehostman: Is here minners
Marco_MindArk: Telik. Nobel Nightcap party ended at 05:00...
Thehostman: who can say why ores globals are more than enmatters????????????????????
The_Ripper: bah cant possibly hunt and watch this chat at the same time :p someone fill me in if anything happens pls :D :p
BruuD: 2 chats open is too many :) bye bye
The_Ripper: cya all :D
Skam: not just rebooting the network
Frank_MindArk: absolutely, we really need to utilize the communities crreativity
Skam: rebooting marco too
Einstein: Thehostman, they are not
BruuD has left the room.
Shadow-Ale: thehostman: because enmatter is cheaper to do
AJack10600 has left the room.
Teilk: yes, but in the old days, you would have still been going strong ;)
Shadow-Ale: so it yeald approx 50% result of ore
Marco_MindArk has left the room.
The_Nightbird: hostman because probes are 50pecs :p
The_Ripper has left the room.
Einstein: huh?
Chainfire is going back to work. later.
Shadow-Ale: einie: actually, they are
Chainfire has left the room.
Shadow-Ale: probe is 50 pecs, bomb 1 ped
Einstein: an abundant enmatter can be larger than an abundant ore
Einstein: at least for me
Shadow-Ale: yes, but it's 50% less chance of getting one
Skam: Im terrible at mining :p
Einstein: true
Jorael: well. back 2 work
Einstein: But he talked about size?
Shadow-Ale: that's what he asked about
Dissytheone: anyone know what number, global, hof sound is it sound map? :p
Eld: can we get some insight on future development plans? a new roadmap maybe?
Teilk: well, frank, do you know anything we dont about the possible taxation of our virtual assets?
Usurper: When do we see high damage ammo?
Thehostman: A hour ago I bought probes for 4PEDS and I mined enmatters for 8PEDS!!!!
Jorael: grats hostman
The_Nightbird: ................
Jorael: dont go spend it all now
Skam: X)
Frank_MindArk: nothing more than you guys, seems to only be under consideration at the moment
Teilk: cool
Shadow-Ale: thehostman: probes cost half, so 4 peds worth is 8 probes
Jorael: taxation of virtual items... that sucks. soon you will be taxed of the air you breed
The_Nightbird: was there any consideration about mining finder radius?
Teilk: our beloved US politicians will hammer the legislation through in record time
Shadow-Ale: Frank: is there a reason that lvl3 mech bps don't drop anymore?
Teilk: we love our taxes
Dissytheone has left the room.
Skam: aaah movie is finished loading, gotta go back to work
The_Nightbird: lol true

Skam: thanks :) you too. cya!
Einstein: Is there any reason GSI's don't drop?
Jorael: Its balancing dynamic beers
Skam: thanks for stopping by Frank!
Shadow-Ale: Frank: would be nice, a lot is afraid they are gone forever, as few have seen new ones in a long while
Skam is currently away.
JDaddy: Einstein - because they've been replaced by ESIs :)
Jorael: i just won 80 peds in selling my standard dampers bps
Jorael: muahah
Einstein: aaarrggghh
Einstein: I mean ESI's ;p
Frank_MindArk: thx scam, nice to be here
JDaddy: LOL
Shadow-Ale: joreal: pr bp?
Einstein feels old
Jorael: 0.1
Eld: would be possible to give us a roadmap for 2007, like you did in the past?
Jorael: oh oh i got a good one
Shadow-Ale: Eld: they shouldn't, it will only give whiners more fuel for the fire
Jorael: are those new bots going to be introduced soon? the ones on the lootable RL item poster?
Frank_MindArk: good idea Eld, I'll talk with marco about it
Eld: nice, tnx :)
Kitty entered the room.
Shadow-Ale: Does MindArk as a company care a lot for it's employees? And do you have a cafeteria?

Kitty: hi Rico =)
RICO: lol, some funny questions
The_Nightbird: too few people I'd guess
RICO: ki Kitty
RICO: hi*
Scorpion entered the room.
Frank_MindArk: I can tell you this, we at MindArk are well taken care of - although the coffee machine is bust at the moment
Shadow-Ale: W000t!
RICO: lol
Scorpion: lol
Shadow-Ale: ok, we should all toss in a few dollars each for a new coffee machine :D
Usurper: that's why Marco is finaly able to sleep
RICO: hahahahaha Shadow-Ale go HUNT, that will do it
Scorpion: I already deposited this month
Frank_MindArk: seriously though, I really want to get the whole story thing going next year - I would like different little things happening each week
Shadow-Ale: Rico: I can start using amps, they decay a lot
RICO: ll
RICO: lol
Frank_MindArk: what did ye think of the whole Eomon thing?
Sammy2004 entered the room.
Scorpion: That sounds great
Usurper: Il repeat then: Send in the warlocks again, i've never seen one.
The_Nightbird: I heard it was fun for ubers
The_Nightbird: I'd like a feef event again though
Shadow-Ale: Frank: that sounds awesome. I remember when they started the ore-drops last december, there were too many unanswered questions concerning the argonauts
Scorpion: The eomon was interesting to go see
Shadowsong entered the room.
Teilk: the eomon thing was great
The_Nightbird: or someone equvalent in difficulty
Frank_MindArk: but I thought the free dung would have gotten even noobs in on the Eomon thing
Shadow-Ale: I'd love to see something for the new players, like snables mutating or something
The_Nightbird: isn't there free dung everywhere?
Jorael: snable Calypso domination
Shadow-Ale: Dung isd hard to sell these days it seem
Eld: think would be possible to get more stats from laser sights, to actually show what they do, like hit ability modifier or damage modifier, like the amps do?(atm the just show skill modifier %)
Scorpion: I would like to see bot attacks like the older players talk about
Frank_MindArk: I guess, but I am always looking for an event that everybody can get into
The_Nightbird: oh yes, we're clueless to what the skill modification thing means lol
Shadow-Ale: Scorpion: wasn't so long since last bot attack
Kitty: the bot attacks were fun
Daddy: frank
The_Nightbird: bot attack was more than half a year ago though..
Scorpion: Not like they used to be as I hear from others. No alarms, ships flying in, flying bots, etc.
Frank_MindArk: Personally, I want the mother of all bot attacks to happen, HUGE
Eld: that's a good idea like the fefoid event
Frank_MindArk: yes daddy?
The_Nightbird: frank, that would be great :)
Shadow-Ale: there's so much potentil in the stories... Just to mention some, Zychion and Minapolis
Frank_MindArk: yeah, the feffoids and the egg was great fun
Kitty: yes fix minopolis!!
Daddy: what are my deposit options with no access to a creditcard/checking account and living in the US so no access to ukash?
silverbane: yah bots ftw :)
Shadow-Ale: Kitty: fic? it's working perfectly
The_Nightbird: for the feff event, only 1 person could get the egg
Scorpion: Except we still have no end to that story line :)
Kitty: i wanna go in the little houses
Shadow-Ale: kitty: ahh
Kitty: and the water towers
Usurper: Teach the drones how to use the teleporter and send them everyvhere!
The_Nightbird: for the next event, can there be more than 1 "winner"? :)
Frank_MindArk: Daddy: there is always the Bank Transfer - check the web
safara entered the room.
RICO: Can we get Twins Peaks, PVP City :p
Kitty: Usurper....the drones did use the teleports during the attacks
Teilk: yes, one town thats all pvp all the time would be great
Frank_MindArk: daddy: we also have a deal with payByCash - check them out
Daddy: is MA not supplying ped cards to retailers anymore?
The_Nightbird: drone can appear anywhere anyways :)
Daddy: paybycash requires checking/cc
Usurper: Would be fun if they started doing that again.
Shadow-Ale: Hadesheim with radar scrambled
Shadow-Ale: Paintball city
Frank_MindArk: ok, bank transfer then
RICO: lol Paintball
Atalanta has left the room.
safara has left the room.
Frank_MindArk: actaully paybycash allow you to send them cash by wire
RICO: I would like a Avatar Drag and Drop feature :p, to get some annoying people in the ring hehe
Kitty: lol Rico
Frank_MindArk: :)
Shadowsong: lol
Scorpion: paybycash doesn't require those, I use western union because I refuse to use my CC after trying to register it in the beginning
Shadow-Ale: Rico: that is reserved for marco and frank ;)
Daddy: where do i get bank transfer information?
RICO: lol
JDaddy: What about options to put on/remove armor/plates with one button rather than dragging each item individually?
Shadow-Ale: And autostack stackables
Eld: price of good weapons is getting close to 1k usd for cheapest decent weapon - can there be more good guns in loots?
silverbane: oh yea
Frank_MindArk: JDaddy: excellent idea. It's time though. We're all really busy
The_Nightbird: repairng attached attachments in repair terminal would be good enough for me :)
Usurper: I want a group armor hotkey to equip/unaquipt my armor as a whole set.
Daddy: eld, use ep41 :p
JDaddy: so am I -- gotta keep dragging the 6 pieces of armor over, then double-click each piece, then repair, then reverse the whole process -- gets kind of annoying... :)
Shadow-Ale: usurper: I don't think wee'll see that, as it would make hunting different mobs way too easy
Scorpion: Need more rifles, like there are handguns
Eld: a gun to hunt ath mobs with is about 1k now
Usurper: How about a time penalty?
JDaddy: so I'm busy removing armor/plates rather than spending that time hunting and decaying for you
Daddy: jdaddy.. dont use armor??
Eld: 1kusd
Frank_MindArk: JDaddy:)
JDaddy: Daddy - give me a mod fap and I won't :)
Bogger entered the room.
Kitty: i dont hunt with armor or have a mod fap
Bogger: me neither :)
Frank_MindArk: there's just so many things we could do, and guess what, we will. Just takes time
silverbane: orly :p
Kitty: lol
RICO: hire Jdady to work for ya lol
Usurper: like the banners say
Jorael: Frank, i've posted a zillion ideas on forums... are any of them being considered?
Shadow-Ale: Frank: A question rose on ventrilo yesterday: How far ahead are the testservers, compared to the game?
Rockchick has left the room.
JDaddy: I can be there tomorrow Frank!
RICO: lol
JDaddy: thanks for the good work Rico
JDaddy: word*
RICO: always welcome
Frank_MindArk: Shadow-Ale: Feels like a security risk that question - don't want to get fried tomorrow
RICO: yuo might regret though
silverbane: lol
silverbane: poor frank :)
Scorpion: lol
RICO: cause the same amount of questions you asking, you would be asked if worked for MA :p
Shadow-Ale: ok. We were estimating 3-4 vu's
silverbane: i wonder...
Eld: will the drop of normal imtes remain the same/get better or will it decrease in favor of L items?
Jorael: Frank?
Eld: *items
Frank_MindArk: Yes Jorael?
Jorael: Frank, i've posted a zillion ideas on forums... are any of them being considered?
silverbane: isnt that obvious
RICO: lol, poor Frank!!!
Jorael: i've packed them and sent them to marco's inbox...
The_Nightbird: lol
Shadow-Ale: I got a MA question: Are you allowed to smoke at the office, and ca. how many employees smoke?
Kitty: easy
RICO: wtf Shadow lol
Kitty: al of them
The_Nightbird: assumed they're all ignored and be pleasantly surprised if they are implemented
Frank_MindArk: smokings well out of order in Sweden
Shadow-Ale: Not hash, regular cigarettes
Frank_MindArk: Jorael, yes we get everything and read everything
Shadow-Ale: I forgot, sweden is the home of snus :p
Jorael: ok .)
Scorpion: Yeah I read about that.
Scorpion: Wouldn't mind trying the stuff
sir_odd entered the room.
Shadow-Ale: Rico: I like to know a bit about who they are as persons too, as we rely on them every day :)
Frank_MindArk: Snus is weird, I'm from Ireland
Eld: will the drop rate of normal items decrease in favor of L items?
Bogger: seriously? where in ireland?
The_Nightbird: lol
Shadow-Ale: Frank: haha, cheers (tho we won't see kilts now :p )
RICO: Shadow-Ale : i know what you mean brother, but poor guys is swamped with questions lolm give hima little break
Scorpion: I thought kilts were scottish
Frank_MindArk: There will be a balance between normal and L items, check the Developers Blog
Shadow-Ale: Rico: hehe, that's why I'm giving him some irl questions instead of only gamerelated
silverbane: eld, stfu on questions u wont get answered.
Shadow-Ale: scorpion: exactly ;)
RICO: :p
Eld: yeah , I read the blog
Usurper: Can you please make the loot-window pop up to the right instead of to the left and not cover the mod health-bar?
Usurper: mob
Scorpion: lol, sorry a little slow there
Shadow-Ale: usurp: you can fix that yourself
Shadow-Ale: drag the loot-bar below the chat, and it doesn't pop
Frank_MindArk: but the loot window doesn't pop up until the mob is dead
RICO: lol
Usurper: never hunted a dense pack frank?
Shadow-Ale: frank: some loot while hey hunt
silverbane: at current spawn rate you're sure to have 4-5 of them at your back.
Bogger: add it so that we get msg for loot, like in team loot settings
Shadow-Ale: and with ten mobs, you only have 2 minutes to loot them
Kitty: just leave it open and move it
Frank_MindArk: just drag it somewhere else'
RICO: good point
Usurper: nice......
Shadowsong: four mobs at once, and if the first has llot, it's in the way as you deal with others... also worst time to be dragging windows
Shadow-Ale: haha, I just went crazy to find my cellphone, I heard my custom ringtone, and the same rammstein-song was on the telly :p
Jacxz entered the room.
Jacxz: yo Frank welcome

Usurper: Will ther be slalom ski BP's dropping for some winter adventures maybe? :)

Dannei: eeeeeeeeeello ppl!

A lot of teasers in there :) and a lot of interesting things to. Nice to see Marco and Frank getting involved.

Jorael: Q: Are new professions coming soon? Is the Egg going to develop soon? What will we get for christmas from MA?
Marco_MindArk: IIIIIIII!

Does that confirm new professions? Or was Marco just going crazy?

Thanks for posting the conversation MB, very much appreciated! Thanks Marco and Frank, nice to see you guys chatting with the community!

Wow good stuff. Too bad I missed it, I was up very late working on the next development for EF, and slept right through this awesome chat.

It's refreshing to see Mindark communicating more with the community, and I look forward to more such chats in the future.

Thanks Marco and Frank!

Skam tickles Marco
BruuD: ;-)
Einstein: oh my Lootius
Creature laughs at Ripper
The_Ripper: :p
Jorael: Q: Are new professions coming soon? Is the Egg going to develop soon? What will we get for christmas from MA?
Marco_MindArk: IIIIIIII!

Perhaps he is just very ticklish. :wise:
 
Thanks for the log!

Just a little remark:
It would be great if you could make the questions and answers bold next time, if possible.

Thanks

:cheer:
 
Jorael: Q: Are new professions coming soon? Is the Egg going to develop soon? What will we get for christmas from MA?
Marco_MindArk: IIIIIIII!
Einstein: *me tries to wake up
Jorael: nvm the last one
chesta: :)
Skam: :p
Frank_MindArk: ahh.. the egg...
Marco_MindArk: Ah, the egg...
NetStalker: yes the egg
Jorael: the egg is rotten by now
BruuD: yes... the egg...
The_Ripper: lol

This conversation left a little bit to be desired.... an answer would have been nice, even one that didnt really say anything. Instead, we got "ahh.. the egg..."

Other than that, Frank did a great job of fielding questions and answering them as best he could without violating MA's well known policy of giving no information away with regards to their future plans, in order to keep people (customers and competition alike) guessing.

Overall, it was a decent conversation, and I am very happy to see the interaction between MA reps and the community. Huge thanks to 711 for making it possible to hurl question after question at them in realtime, and much respect to the MA reps who had the stones to show up in live chat after so long with no intensive community interaction.

What is the quote?... "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
 
Thanks for sharing, always nice to hear some answers from Marco and Frank. :yay: Keep up the good work guys.
Did the questions about the auction exploiters and botters get cut off?
I guess they can't say much but everyone keeps bugging me to ask since they know im on Marco's list (not the good one)
:mad:
 
Thanks for the log-but I must say in an unusual character move:I understand why Marco and Frank don't frequent an IRC style chat often. It seem no matter where they go they get asked so many questions.

the more often they do it, the less questions there will be to answer :)

Does sound logical, but I dont think so :) people will always find new questions, and there will be new people that havent seen the answers to the earlier questions, since its in realtime etc etc..

I don't think so because most of the same question always get asked and asked. I understand everyone wants answers to stuff-but these people have a PR job I know. But they should also be able to enjoy the community experience too without always having to ask answer the same things that have been answered and posted.

Actual community theories states the opposite, the more replies, the more questions it feeds.

But both I and Frank will pop into the chat from time to time, and I have been talking to 711 about EF hosting a "House of commons" chat like the ancient Stratics ones. More info comes later.

ok, point taken :dunce:
 
I missed it! :(

I think it is great that both Marco and Frank took the time to chat with the community! This is the stuff that makes the community happy :yay: and shows that MA really do care about the inhabitants of their universe. I hope this sort of interaction will take place more often!

Thank you Marco and Frank! :headbang:

Cheers :beerchug:
 
Frank i really appreciate your efforts and questioning the community instead of the community just questioning MA reps. I really like hearing things about making the story updated weekly and events for everyone.
 
Very illuminating, thank you.

Good to read the stuff about the storyline, seems you haven't abandoned it after all.

And I was very glad to read that Frank feels community contributions are important.
 
Ahhh the Egg.... Yes... the Egg.... OOOoooOOO

Lol was my favorite part of the convo :D .
Good to see officials interact with players that way, I hope it continues that way :thumbup:

Why not a bi-weekly 30 minute chat? Any player can look in on the chat but only invited people will have voice (be able to ask questions.) Question asking status could be based on forum reputation.
