Submitting backwards sails isn't a solution here Please file a support request with as much information on the affected sails and ships as possible. Be sure to file this as a technical bug, because that's what it is.

Nope, not on purpose at all. But just to help avoid future embarrassment on the part of our avid fans, I've stickied this thread for now.

That would be really, really hard, since submission date isn't editable. More likely, you just missed the original submission which was made at 08:01:37 on 2008/01/17. I can see how you missed it though, since there are more than 27,000 submissions total in the system, well over 1,000 of which were processed in just the last couple days.

With about 3,800 still in voting -- about 350 posted since my devlog -- we're not going to catch up instantly, and things are going to seem spotty at times. We understand that's frustrating -- it is for both of us. But we're working on it and we'll keep working on it until our next-generation system is in place, and beyond. And if you choose not to believe those 1000+ processed flags and sails from the last couple days, that's entirely your prerogative too. We'll keep working as hard as we can all the same, just as we are right now.

Phileas, I'm confused- you are talking about the in-game filter, correct? Because Dani is referring to the forum filter.

Clearly words like Egyptian and farthing are and should be ok- did you file a bug report on these, or were you just looking to be annoyed?

Do me a favor, max out everything, even the ship detail slider....
Is that the pants or the boot clipping? The puffy pants are going to clip. There's nothing we can do about that other than suggesting you wear tighter pants with the long coats.

The long dresses are a real problem animation wise. They work for NPC's who have limited leg motion but on Avatar's they really fall apart.

No. As others mentioned, it was probably due to focusing on accuracy. Fully fitting for accuracy is quite potent and is a fight-changer in PvP. I want the presence or absence of accuracy to have a big impact in PvP fights and playstyles. Right now it may be too much. There might be some changes to the upper level accuracy attainable, but I haven't decided yet.

The next set of tweaks is in the upcoming 1.1 patch. It makes small/medium ships harder to hit at medlong to long range without really impacting close to medium range.

The problem comes from the combination of firepower, speed and acceleration. It's very easy to displace all low level ships (and thus low level players) in PvP with a single, too-powerful high level ship. Back in beta I mentioned that's precisely why new ship styles like the Arcadia start off a little low and get time to bake before making additional changes and adding variants.

Most large-huge scout ship speeds change in 1.2, but there are a couple deep rooted issues that will take time to work out.

You might also be looking at an LOD. Can you try turning up your avatar detail and see what happens?

FLS understands that there are issues to be resolved, and we continue to work with our community to identify and remedy those challenges.

While we may not always address the issues in the way some of our customers wish we would, we are always listening. We've always encouraged constructive feedback from our customers and fans, and that won't end.

Sadly, this thread has degenerated into something less than constructive, so I'm closing it. In the future, people on both sides of this argument should take a moment to reflect on their contribution to threads like this. People don't have to like everything about our game, and we believe they have a right to say so.

So long as they aren't being abusive, neither should you be.

Best,
Aether

Probably not, the weighting of the clothing is pretty precise, along with the LOD work. I think we would end up with one of the character guys doing a lot of rebuilding.
What we are talking about doing is having players submit concepts that CharCo builds.
