This is going to be really really interesting.

Not for another couple patches. We have to finish it first And content patches get put together further in advance (generally speaking) than other patches.

Hello all,

A quick reminder....discussion & debate = good. Flaming the other guy = bad.

This is a good discussion topic, but sadly, it seems difficult for folks to discuss without taking it to the bad place.

So, back on topic and less flamey bits, please.

Thanks for your understanding,
Danicia

1 in thread Bigpond User Content [Flags and Sails]
Thanks for bumping this thread -- moved a few pertinent posts into it. Including my last post on the topic. As it's currently 6 a.m. in Seattle I doubt such info will be forthcoming for a few hours yet.

1 in thread Would this pass? [Flags and Sails]
Wonderful artwork! Top notch

Unfortunately, sails couldn't be painted like this, though. Or rather, they could -- but because the sail is constantly furled and unfurled, the paint would flake and chip off very quickly, and with rather a distinct horizontal bias. The paint would not smudge, smear, or run... simply flake right off the canvas.

We might consider an exceptionally good attempt at emulating this effect, but generally speaking, "painted sails" are strongly discouraged.

1 in thread Sails appearing backwards [Flags and Sails]
Merged a couple threads. Known issue. All square sails should be mapped correctly by 1.3 -- but don't ask me when that patch will be released because I don't know

As mentioned, submitting backwards sails to circumvent the issue isn't really going to work, particularly since the mapping is inconsistent even within a ship in some cases.

We have some changes coming for Pirates in 1.4 that will affect how they operate in fights.

It seems like they have been sistematically ignoring the complaints and are now listening to them and trying to adress them, so thats progress.. If they don't do enough I'll be right in line on canceling or if they don't have some kind of patch notes about it in a reasonable time frame (1-2 weeks). But the fact that they are now openly saying.. "WE SCREWED THE POOCH" to me is worth something... Not much but something.
1.2 just came out. 1.3 should arrive 4-5 weeks after. We'll be talking about it in a couple of weeks, the same way we did for 1.2 (a big dev log covering the major areas, and then a bunch of smaller dev logs for each area).

We always listen to complaints, but these are big systems. When we make a change, we let it settle for a while to see how it works before jumping to the next thing.

1 in thread Lack of Population [Australia]
It won't be distributed by EB, ever. The disks should start hitting in the first week of next month. Until then, it'll be pretty quiet.
