Okay was just able to grab a screenshot of a base layout without having to go in-game and set it up.
YOU WIN ONE IN-TAR-WEBZ! -
First, if you're looking for help layout out the base (how to arrange the rooms, I suggest you look here.
Now the designer actually comes up with a decent base layout for maximizing telepads. But if you're looking for crafting and a hospital point too, it's not so great.
But yes, you can shoehorn a 5x5 into the free plot. Here's my recommended layout for that.

Okay,
Doing a CEBR on Freedom right now while level-pacted to a friend's kid's account. It's taking appreciably longer than my solo did.
But in inf and prestige output per-level is phenomenal. I actually started my own SG my secondary account is lapsed pending Freedom) and was to 15 before one of the people in my regular SG showed up. Now, 30 levels later, I'm spitting distance of 1 million prestige and almost completely proc'ed out now.
The hard one is turning out to be the last Eradication proc (there's literally NONE on the market right now). I even have BRAWL proc'ed up. -

How do I uninstall the current driver? I'm freezing all the time (sometimes even before I can sign in) and trying to just install 11.2 is not working.
I recommend rebooting into safe mode (minimal drivers and programs load) first.
Reboot manually (don't allow the program to reboot for you). When it comes up with "New Hardware found" cancel/skip it.
You may want to run a registry/driver cleaner app too (though most of the time this isn't necessary).
At this point, install the "new" drivers. -

Also, with the spread of the new style trials to non-Incanrate content like the new sewer one and the planned holiday trials, they're conditioning players to be comfortable with the LFG and TUT stuff right from level 1 - all the new players coming in with I21 won't know anything else.
Because that's just what everyone needs.
To do raids and nothing else.
No thanks.
Call me when they start generating real content again. -

Not really scary all that stuff is either avoidable pretty easily, unlikely to happen to most people, or if you have to live in the area that it happens a lot in its unavoidable and why be scared of things that are unavoidable?
You haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about and I don't have any more patience to try to explain it to someone who's being militantly obtuse. -

But I don't limit my zero sympathy to the rich flood victims. I spread it equally amongst most of the natural disasters that occur regionally. They know the damn things are going to happen sooner or later and they still chose to live there. Screw'em, they deserve it.
If I gotta go, make it fast, and because I'm rather misanthropic, make it SPECTACULARLY messy so everyone can see it and some poor schlub has to clean me off every available surface with a spatula. -

Well, I would be just as happy with a desktop (happier, even if it gave better performance, cheaper). I just got used to playing on my current laptop, which is the best system I have at the moment, so I was kind of speaking with that in mind. I don't mind either way. Money is the biggest issue.

Except in this case it's probably not a code problem per se but a server/raid/network configuration and integration problem that cropped up during the server hardware upgrade.
While they could pre-install the server side software on the new equipment, mirror a copy of the user accounts onto the new storage arrays, it isn't until you start final assembly of the whole system, shard servers, instance servers, e-mail server, global chat server, market server and get them to properly sync with each other that configuration problems crop up.
Once you think you've worked all of that out you open up the cluster to all us clients, you then can find other problems syncing between the servers as well as network traffic bottlenecks.
But once it appeared that player data was getting corrupted you have to hit the big red button and take the whole thing down, hoping you have captured enough data the track down the cause.
But as everyone knows, a hard drive blowing up, or a RAID controller freaking out on a newer driver or having an OS meltdown is all the devs' fault. They should have used their magical dev ***-pull powers to just make it not happen.
Right? RIGHT?

Quote:Honestly, I don't really want a market cap. It'd destroy the market and force most of the transactions off it.Originally Posted by Nihilii
Mine would plummet.
I don't think I'd be alone. I believe people underestimate how bothersome and timeconsuming it is to have to arrange person to person trades. Even if you made 300% markups compared to now, if you're already making a billion or so per day in the current market it'd take a ridiculous amount of time to match that off the grid, compared to the time it takes on the market.
This might just be my perspective as an EU based player (timezones) with little connections speaking, and maybe things would get more organized if the market cap forced a significant amount of trades off it. Maybe. I have my doubts.
Then we'd REALLY be seeing qq. -

Again, the code in all areas could have been PERFECT. But certain modules interacting with one another (even done right) may have been the issue. Software interactions like this happen on a regular basis. Why do you think Microsoft patches every Tuesday?

I'm not saying I'm infallible. I've made more than my fair share of mistakes in my line of work and when I screw up on the one thing I'm paid to do I forgo getting paid by not turning in my billable hours.
I kinda think not. If you had, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.
Actually yeah. Yeah it was. To my knowledge, no data was lost or had to be backed out and undone. There've been several bugfixes in the last couple years that have caused people to lose stuff. Like...WHOLE CHARACTERS.Quote:This wasn't a mild slip up.
Because when HALF the game is down, people are screaming for the devs to bring it all down and FIX IT. Apparently you don't understand that to do the maintenance properly the game HAS to go down.Quote:The whole game went down.

Okay. No I won't.

Read the patch notes, play the game a bit. The devs love this game. They are not gonna do a shoddy job on it, because they care. Very few people work in game development, as programmers, without caring a lot. It is, apart from the love of the work, generally not regarded as a particularly great line of work. Long hours, lots of hassles, not the best pay.
