Uadjet says: Hello and welcome to the Developer's Q&A! This is an out-of-character meeting where you can hear about the development of the game and ask the Dev and GM teams any questions you might have. If you do have any questions, please line up at the lecterns in front of the stage.
Fayrene chuckles
Uadjet says: There we go. Fries for everyone!
Fayrene says: thank you very much
Harither says: i think its raining fried potatoes
Raraler says: Thank you
Thosor says: crispy!
Lurielle says: Thanks!
Fayrene says: mmmhhh.... yummy!
Uadjet says: Okay, as my little shortcut said, please line up at the lecterns if you have a question.
Fayrene says: but i wonder about the name "kartoffel" *chuckle
Fliks says: nom nom nom
Uadjet says: If there aren't any questions right away, I can give you all an update on what people are working on.
Uadjet says: That's what potatoes are called in PS.
Uadjet says: Raraler? You have a question?
Gonger says: And in German
Gonger says: Kartoffel is the German word for potato
Uadjet says: True.
Fayrene says: i know because i am german ^^
>Kalterina Blazenloch salutes Uadjet with respect.
Noriko says: not only german
Thosor says: French Kartoffels
Raraler says: Hello, I do, but I'm not an English speaker and I have to check my vocabulary before. Excuse me a minute please.
Fliks says: douh i fogot my plate
Fliks says: ill be back in a muinet
Fayrene laughs heavily
Uadjet says: When I made up a lemon/lime fruit, I stole a word from Arabic, iirc.
Fayrene says: which one was it? ^^
Raraler says: To facilitate the information/inclusion of newcomers, vould it be possible to have general announcements in scrolling text over the bottom of the screen in addition to the Main tab?
Uadjet says: 'Jiir'
Fayrene says: interesting question, Raraler
Raraler bows
Uadjet says: What type of general announcements? Announcements from GMs/Devs, or things like "you have discovered Amdeneir" or "you have made a battle helm"?
Raraler says: Announcments from GM/Dev, annonce of events, reminder of the process to join events...
Fliks says: back
Uadjet says: Okay, I can make sure to do that.
Raraler says: Thanks
Uadjet says: Well, what I mean is worldshouts.
Uadjet says: Like this:
Raraler bows
Raraler worldshouts: Dev Q&A underway at the Courthouse in East Hydlaa!
Uadjet says: Everyone should see that.
Noriko gigles
Uadjet says: But I can't make it appear in text on the center of the screen.
Fayrene says: i think that would be to much, or?
Damola looks surprised "Even mighty GM powers appear to be limited."
Kalterina says: Never knew there was a worldshout
Kalterina says: For players?
Uadjet says: Yeah, the Devs still won't give us a kikiri invasion script.
Fayrene says: again that one, uadjet *laughs*
Fayrene says: you should have seen Dentritus *giggles*
Damola says: players dont have a world shout power I think
Mishka says: When life gives you kikiri, make fried chicken?
Gonger says: Hello Mishka
Fayrene says: or let them pick at you....
Dentritus says: You won't see it in the NPC Tab - if you do quests you are switched to the tab and still won't see it
Mishka says: How fast would you have to hit a kikiri with a fireball for it to cook perfectly?
Raraler says: Ha ha!
Fayrene laughs
Thosor says: I saw Dentritus with a flock around him earlier. Looked like he was getting weaker and weaker, But I see he is ok.
Fliks says: try the speed of light
Uadjet says: Unless you're in main, I think. It may depend on if NPC chat is in main or only its own tab.
Dentritus says: Don't look at my feet
Fayrene says: it was a hilarious view, dentritus
Uadjet says: See, now I think of you as Shale from Dragon Age: Origins.
Uadjet says: Okay, so I'll give you an update on what Talad and Zwei have been up to, since I actually know that.
Thosor says: Most everything is a regular schedule, is there a need for special announcements?
Mishka says: Before we start anyone feels the dire need to join an inactive guild?
>Migg Ellorean bows to Uadjet.
Thosor says: I guess if there is going to be a sudden mass kikiri fry...
Noriko says: Thosor yes, if you deep in work of somehting you might not read main chat for example
Migg says: Still pondering that kikiri invasion?
Uadjet says: As discussed in the last meeting, Talad bought a model of a viking woman and spent some time converting it for use in Unreal. He imported it successfully, so Ylian woman will have a model of their own in PSU!
Fayrene says: wow!
Mishka says: Why don't we just tweak that model, make it slimmer, taller, shorter, more stout, etc, to have the different races?
Thosor says: woman for us?
Migg says: using the helmet as model for the horns?
Fayrene says: oh lol
Uadjet says: That may work, but it's possible that much change could mess things up. It's not my area of expertise.
Fayrene wants to play on the new client
Mishka says: How much is a model of those?
Mishka says: USD or EUR, I don't mind either.
Uadjet says: Talad has also worked on the compendium, and just today edited some voiceover work he commissioned for the new tutorial.
Fayrene says: ohhhhhh
Mishka says: If it's like 5-10€ I reckon a player with some spending cash leftover at the end of the month could contribute by buying a model.
Kalterina says: Nice to have an actual Ylian female
Uadjet says: That was... $50? That's the price I'm seeing, but I seem to recall Talad getting a discount as it was his first purchase.
Mishka says: Whew.
Thosor says: Hope her ears are pointy.
Uadjet says: The model comes with clothing, leather, and chain.
Damola says: yeah nice to have a ylian model
Uadjet says: Plus a shield, sword, and axe. Not sure if those are coming in though.
Fayrene says: then he got much for the money i find
Uadjet says: Ah, yes. He may have had a 20% discount. I just got a popup offering me one on my first purchase.
Uadjet nods.
Uadjet says: And... Was this announced at the last meeting?
Uadjet says: The grant from Epic?
Uadjet says: I don't recall.
Mishka says: Just say it again in case anyone missed it.
Fayrene says: uh no... i dont recall either
Thosor says: 3D scanned it?
Mishka says: It was said on Discord afaik
Uadjet says: But Epic - the makers of Unreal - occasionally give small grants to support people making games with their engine.
Migg says: I don't recall hearing it
Uadjet says: Guess which game got one?
Uadjet grins.
Fliks says: ah yes i remember now
Mishka says: Fortnite?
Kalterina says: OOOUUURRSS!!!
Fayrene says: uh viking game?
Fliks says: a fwe moths before Talad put a request in
>Sliding Mishka Laralkes...
Mishka says: WEH
Mishka shouts: Y'all so tiny
Uadjet says: I wonder where I sent MIshka...
Fayrene says: far far away XD
Damola says: nice
Mishka says: Also Valheim is made in Unity so no.
Migg says: uh, is it me or is Fayrene too small?
>Harither Nilerave grins at Mishka Laralkes impishly.
Uadjet says: Yeah, so there's a bit more money to play with. New hardware is one possibility, as is buying artwork and hiring people to do things for us.
Mishka says: Ceiling cat is watching you debate.
Fayrene says: hmmm.... maybe an animal for a large cart?
Migg says: that's so cool Uadjet!
Fayrene says: with six legs?
Uadjet says: Yeah, there are plenty of packages on the Unreal store that would be great to have.
Migg says: I root for a biorlitrosan!
Uadjet says: if there's a bat of good quality, we could have Megaras soon!
Fayrene says: better having a transport-animal
Fayrene says: who can drag a large cart
Migg says: megaras look like bats?
Uadjet says: Oh, yes. The goujah.
Uadjet says: Megaras are flying rodents, so I assume so.
Kalterina says: Would like to see Maegaras
Uadjet says: But goujah are likely going to use an adapted bison model, which was included in a free pack some time ago.
Fayrene says: ummm... me not.... *shudders*
Kalterina says: *Megaras*
Fayrene says: that would be nice to have that, uadjet. the large carts are already ingame (ojaveda 2 or 3)
Uadjet says: Biolitrosan would require a lot of work. They have the trunks, right? So, elephant model combined with something else. I do think Elephants were in a pack we have, actually.
Kalterina says: Be nice to hook up a beast to an actual wagon and load it and move
Migg says: wouldn't rivnaks be able to pull a cart already?
Fayrene chuckles by thinking on a gobble
Uadjet says: These carts?
Migg says: yes
Fayrene says: yes, and there was a brown one too
Thosor says: Bifucated trunk with a f finger hand on each?
Kalterina says: yes
Thosor says: *four
Fayrene says: the rivnak looks good on that cart too
Migg says: Noo! Stay!
Uadjet says: Rivnaks could pull those, yeah.
Migg says: I have no apples for you!
Uadjet says: It's no use, Migg. Blueshana can smell the kartoffels!
Thosor says: thet could count on their trunks in octal.,
Kalterina tosses an apple to Migg's Rivnek, but rivnek poofs and apple hits Migg?
Fayrene says: hmmm.... i like the idea with the rivnak on a large cart
Fayrene says: maybe we can dye the large cart then?
Uadjet says: Goujah are pretty big, as I recall.
Migg says: dang
Migg says: she won't stay put
Fayrene says: maybe making them a bit smaller?
Fayrene says: the goujahs?
Uadjet says: 2.5 meters tall, and that's usually measured to the shoulder.
Fayrene says: uhhh.... maybe the height like a rivnak would be good
Uadjet says: So that's up to my feet.
Uadjet says: They're used to pull the Winch.
Raraler says: For transport we could have a magic walking crate like in Terry Pratchett's Disc World.
Thosor says: Don't they stink?
Gonger says: We could have a convoy between cities...
Uadjet says: We have the bagga.
Raraler says: Even with fighting abilities...
Fayrene says: hmmm.... a smaller version from the goujahs called goujih?
Uadjet says: They're a type of familiar that was never added.
Uadjet says: Basically walking bags.
Fliks says: that reminds me f that you cant get your famila to attack somthing me and Uadjet tested it a few meetings ago
Uadjet says: You can. I got my familiar to attack a player.
Uadjet says: It's just really buggy.
Fayrene says: boooo.... not nice, uadjet
Migg says: I think I saw that once as well
Assenes says: but the familiar is /and remains) weak
Fliks says: oh i need to work out what i have doen wrong then
Uadjet says: I didn't think it would work!
Kalterina says: In UE can do more with pets/familiars.
Fayrene laughs
Uadjet says: Ah, Talad's worked on that too!
Uadjet says: Familiars will start of weak and small, but gain in strengh and size as they learn.
Assenes says: cool
Fliks says: imagin just walking around with a person guard and when somthing attacks you your famila just gose savige on it
Migg says: in some other game, your pet had a ball, and you could play catch with it
Fayrene says: hmmm.... im not so with the pets.... *sighs*
Fayrene says: auteria online, migg
Migg says: the more you played with it, the stronger it got
Migg says: yep that was the game
Thosor says: Wow, I could have a giant glitch
Fayrene says: they gave me a lizard XD
Uadjet says: As for Zwei, he's got a lot of work done on the parts of Amdeneir that you can't see yet in PSU. Namely, the aquifer and the pterosaur training area.
Migg says: think it was always a little pig
Migg says: piglet?
Fayrene says: and nice houses for visiting?
Uadjet says: They're on the back burner for now, but I like what I see so far!
Fayrene says: that pig comes later, migg ^^
Uadjet says: There are a few buildings on the ptero training area. Built into the stalactites, I think.
Thosor says: mmmnn roast pig, better than porg?
Fayrene says: oh wow! is there a video from that?
Migg says: can you find employment as a ptero trainer?
Migg says: I know of someone who would enlist from day one
Uadjet says: Heheh!
Fayrene says: who?
Uadjet says: But I think Zwei's focus on areas is the outpost and the area around the Bronze Doors at the Eagle.
Fayrene says: ah, uadjet? do you have info about flying with the ptero and seeing the world?
Uadjet says: Although I think a prospect is working on the outpost, while Zwei has been doing the BD area.
Harither says: ptero flights are not working yet.
Uadjet says: And I mean the actual freaking doors, the mechanism that runs them, and at least a small area on the other side of the doors.
Fayrene says: ack..... still a dream to see the world from above
Damola says: It would be nice if regular flights from city to city would be animated, probably with an option to skip the animation or parts of it
Migg says: the doors will actually open?!
Damola says: I think it could add to the immersion
Uadjet says: Flight would have to be limited, as players could use it to go off the edge of the world.
Harither says: the map overall is a lot biggier since spaces been filled with "environment".
Uadjet says: But I think ptero flights where you can actually see the terrain as you pass over it might be possible some day.
Damola says: I thought about the fligths you can buy with the Pterosaur handlers. Between Hydlaa and Gug for example.
Krylor says: will my wings ever be anything more than a showpiece?
Fayrene says: i only want to fly with the normal ptero and see the world. i dont want to have an own ^^
Thosor says: Is the z-axis key still enabled in PSU?
Uadjet says: You mean the no-physics key? No.
Thosor says: aww
Damola images buying one ptero flight after another in case this becomes available, just in order to enjoy the animation
Migg says: you could step on a preto for transport, just like riding a rivnak, only you would not control its flight
Migg says: then it would follow a predefined path to your destination
Fliks says: that would be cool
Damola says: yeah, exactly
Migg says: and you'd be watching the world from above
Uadjet says: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It might be hard, as you're covering a lot of area quickly, but if you're high enough you wouldn't have to load any detailed models.
Fayrene says: ohhh.... wait... that would be a nice option.... a wagon who can carry you to the other villages
Kalterina says: Flying, yeah that be cool
Damola says: just you go to ptero handler and buy the flight, mount the ptero and off it goes without you being able to steer it
Thosor says: Autopilot
Uadjet says: Oh, one more thing I should mention:
Uadjet says: Lemurs.
Uadjet says: They have models now.
Migg says: perhaps you could still jump off it, probably to your death
Uadjet says: Zwei finished making them, and Talad's been adapting them for the game.
Damola says: interesting idea, Migg
Thosor says: With strange hoops of their clothes.
Migg says: Oh, cool!
Damola says: nice for lemur models
Migg says: what will they look like I wonder
Damola says: really great progress again
Migg says: though their clothes must be very elaborate and fancy
Kalterina says: Like a high elf
Migg says: so now all races are almost in!
Uadjet says: If you look at the stream archive on youtube, you can see for yourself!
Uadjet says: Youtube.com/user/PlaneShiftOfficial/videos
Kalterina says: I haven't caught any model making vids
Fliks says: if all the races got a remodle all the players who are playing in this vertion of the game sould keep their origal modle (if they want too) and we could be called somthing gereration
Uadjet says: Streams 446 through 449 are the new lemurs.
Migg says: doubt these models will be in UE
Fliks says: it would show like our loyalty too the game
Uadjet says: They have a nice variation in clothing/armor. I'm looking forward to them.
Migg says: Can't recall, is Lemur available as a race on registration?
Gonger says: Just savour those numbers for the streams... Talad is going for 500...
Uadjet says: Well, the existing races can expect an upgrade too, but I think getting the missing models in game is the higher priority.
Fayrene says: ooooffff... thats much
Uadjet says: @Migg: They are. It's the Xacha that got erased.
Migg says: Ah, good!
Assenes says: I would appreciate if my klyros (female) can wear a (visible) robe
Damola says: Talad is so crazy approaching 500 streams.
Fayrene says: it seems he likes that ^^
Uadjet says: Oh! Klyros females! Those are coming in too.
Assenes says: cool!
Krylor says: i would like a face that is a little softer and to not look so uncomfortable when i am sitting down
Kalterina says: Wonder if females will look bit more different than male Klyros.
Damola says: Nice.
Uadjet says: The colouring and the wings are a bit different.
Thosor says: They won't have wing spike to poke your eyes out anymore.
Uadjet says: But they're similar enough that the old robe and armor models should still work just fine.
Fayrene says: ack.... uadjet.... that is so mean that we cant play on the new client already.... XD
Assenes says: I was always wondering why a robe is visible on a male klyros, but not on a female
Uadjet says: So visually distince enough to know the gender at a glance, but not different enough to mess things up. I think that's the Goldilocks zone.
Uadjet says: *distinct*
Thosor says: Females can wear almost nothing into battle. we have to get all loaded up.
Thosor says: True in most games, anyway.
Thosor not complaining.
Migg says: Klyros lay eggs, so I suppose they can't also be mammals
Thosor says: eggs can hatch, 2 at a time,
Raraler says: They can be platypuses
Thosor says: and crawl to mamaries.
Kalterina says: Klyros should stay reptile.
Thosor says: after feeding, they grow wings and fly from the nest.
Migg says: platypuses are not reptiles afaik
Thosor says: platypuses were designed by commitee.
Fayrene says: hmmm... are there other news?
Uadjet says: They're certainly reptiles. Or amphibians. Klyros, that is.
Migg says: reptilian amphibians
Migg says:
Kalterina nods at Migg
Thosor says: gill and pulmanary breathing.
Thosor says: large lungs for wing power.
Uadjet says: They really need a new category.
Kalterina nods at Uadjet
Uadjet says: So... New models for lemurs, Ylian f, and Klyros f. Mentioned the grant, the work on the compendium and voiceovers...
Uadjet says: I'm back to working on spears, trying to get the more complex onces ready.
Uadjet says: Onces?
Damola says: Ah, voiceovers? Nice, I missed that mention.
Uadjet shakes his head.
Migg says: ounces?
Fayrene sparkles
Harither says: also the char creation has some redesign
Uadjet says: Yes, voiceovers for the new tutorial. The ones I heard were explaining the different races.
Uadjet says: I found a good tutorial that might help me figure out using decals to add decorations like the gold and platinum inlays on the Stonehammer spear.
Thosor says: Talad was editing out lip smacks, noise, delays, levels.
Uadjet says: So that should help a lot.
Damola says: NIce.
Damola says: Nice.
Noriko says: very nice
Fayrene says: and levrus becomes more cheeky?
Damola says: Eventually we get more voices for NPCs dialog as well, but would be a huge ton of work to speak them all
Uadjet says: And I'm still working on populating the BD fortress with soldiers of every division (Guards, Executors, Shadow Squadron, Knights, Riders, and Crystal Force)
Uadjet says: Some would be in existing areas, so you might meet them before the port.
Fliks says: oo
Kalterina nods at Damola
Fayrene says: ohhh
Noriko says: Will voice will be important to play?
Uadjet says: I'd like to add some to the newer crafting stations there. A blacksmith, cook, etc.
Kalterina says: Really do not actually want to hear Levros sing about Coal
Fayrene says: noooooooo
Kalterina says: *Levrus*'
Noriko chuckles
Uadjet says: Important? The text will be there to read as well. It's just a nice extra for those who like audio, or who don't read English as well as they can understand it when it's spoken.
Fliks says: yeah problible a good idea not to put that it it scar away people XD
Thosor says: Most of the live stream voiceover has room reverb, but only from his live mic and his monitors. the actual sound id excellent.
Thosor says: Oh, and a good way to learn pronouncian. I've kad Klyros wrong all along.
Noriko says: Thosor, what is "kad"?
Migg says: isn't it kleeros?
Thosor says: *had
Noriko says: ah
Migg says: or is it klairos?
Thosor says: how do you pronounce vigisemi *sp
Harither says: like vegetable
Fayrene says: vigesimi
Migg says: veegehseemee?
Thosor says: soft "g"?
Uadjet says: Okay, so that was a lot of info to dump on you all. Any questions on any of it? Step up to the lecterns if you have one.
Noriko says: My pronounciation of names is more like as in my language. Even for real life I prefer to hear the name from a person said in clear voice than read it
Uadjet says: Migg?
Migg says: there was some recent controvercy over freenode
Uadjet says: And different pronunciations makes sense. Why couldn't the different Enki packs have different accents?
Noriko nods
Migg says: I know the official channel is now Discord, but will the PS IRC remain on freenode?
Noriko says: how it's different and better than Discord?
Noriko says: sorry for a noob question
Migg says: IRC is the old medium used for chat
Assenes says: irc is dead anyway
Noriko says: I personally see the same IRC with possibilities of voice and video
Thosor says: but doesn't track and sell you.
Krylor says: i am oldschool, i prefer irc personally
Noriko says: I'm too, but agree for going further
Migg says: but the question was whether there is any thought of moving to libre.chat
Uadjet says: Well, the freenode thing is news to me, so I can't really respond to that specifically. I can say that we've officially switched to Discord, though leaving the old channel around for old/returning players seems fine to me.
Migg says: or something like it
Noriko says: I see an empty page in a browser with only copyright text
Noriko says: for libre.chat
Noriko says: Even here I see the same IRC or the same model at least
Migg says: libera.chat
Uadjet says: You can suggest it if you like, but nobody has commented on using another chat service that I'm aware of.
Noriko says: aha, thanks
Migg says: Some open source projects have switched servers
Harither says: you know when there will be a stresstest with the alpha testers or if the gm/dev team think about it?
Migg says: not sure if PS had heard of the issues
Noriko says: I personally ok with using both chats, but expecting only for one to be an official
Uadjet says: Thosor?
Thosor says: Last year I was awarded this Hitchhiker's towel here. Tuesday, the 25th is International Towel day. Don't ever leave your towel behind.
Migg says: still have mine
Noriko says: it's a good proposition!
Fliks says: i dont have a towl
Thosor says: And in RL, with some open outsde restaraunts now, will keep you warmer and dryer.
Migg says: I will look for any passign spacecraft, just hope it's not the Vogons
Thosor says: still don't know how to use the magic enchantment of it.
Uadjet says: You just hold it.
Uadjet says: Anyone else back there have a question?
Thosor says: speaking of open source,.....
Uadjet says: I cant' tell if you're in line, or just waiting by the door.
Noriko says: Yep, I'll have a question
Noriko says: Damola?
Damola grins "I am just waiting by the door, as we are overtime"
Damola says: Noriko, go ahead.
Thosor says: I found PS in my distro repository in 2007. If using Unreal closed stuff, will those distros not host it?
Kalterina says: I think Harither had one?
Thosor says: [sorry was typing]
Uadjet says: Noriko?
Noriko says: I'd also like new version to be open source. This doesn't mean all resources should be open
Noriko says: Ok, I want to ask about marrages.
Uadjet says: Yes?
Harither says: i broke the line
Noriko says: Have them to be only between "male" and "female" characters?
Noriko says: I know that's probably an old rule, but I have this question
Thosor says: eek!
Uadjet says: The devs thought that the medieval culture that the game is based upon would only allow marriages between those of opposite gender. The GM team does not necessarily agree.
Uadjet says: Want to participate in a little test?
Migg says: it's a medieval setting, but since Laanx actually switched gender not sure
Fayrene says: hu? is such thing ingame?
Uadjet says: Let me try something. Who here isn't married and wants to be the test subject?
Fayrene says: eeeeekkkks
Raraler says: I volunteer
Thosor looks around
Noriko says: ok, you have no gender. and for such characters it could be a problem, like Krans have no females (I don't understand why though)
Noriko says: I'm not marred and wan tot be a test subject
Kalterina says: Kran's reproduce differently
Fayrene says: maybe because they are made of stone, noriko?
Uadjet says: Okay, Raraler. When you right-click on someone to get the context menu, you should get a 'propose' option for female characters but not male characters.
Thosor says: kra sort of clone themselves
Migg says: can anyone propose to a Kran?
Noriko says: But they can propose, I suppose?
Gonger says: And, alas, the Middle Ages were a really tough time for same sex relationships. In many countries the punishment was Death.
Noriko says: no, I can't propose to a Kran
Kalterina says: There is a quest about the Kran's gemming I think it is called/
Migg says: yes there is, but aren't there kran couples?
Thosor says: Be kind of dangerouse when sleeping with stone vs flesh.
Uadjet says: But you get the Propose option for those of the opposite gender, but not those of your gender?
Migg says: and what about marriage between kran and other races?
Raraler says: Yes, I can Propose Noriko but I can't propose Filks
Fayrene says: ouch.... could be dangerous....
Gonger says: Yes, I have propose option for females only, not for males or kran.
>Overriding race for Raraler to dermorian
Uadjet says: How about now?
Noriko says: OK, thank you, I've got an answer to my questions
Migg says: can Kran propose?
Raraler says: I can propose Filks but I can't propose Norika
Kalterina nods at Gonger's words
Noriko bows
Gonger says: Same as before.
Noriko says: I wanted an explanation and got it.
Raraler says: *Noriko*
Noriko says: yep?
Migg says: guess you can still RP it?
Uadjet says: Right. So if someone wants a same-sex marriage, I can temporarily swap the gender of one of them and they can get married.
Assenes says: ok, for me it's time to leave. Have fun!
Thosor says: the evil crystal makes some proposals unfeasable.
Migg says: can a kran propose to another kran?
Krylor says: sounds like a good reason to hold a ceremony!
Raraler says: Is there an in-game effect of being married?
Uadjet says: I'll ask about a /marry command for GM's too.
Gonger says: That sounds like a good idea, Uadjet.
Noriko says: Uadjet thank you!
Migg says: you can no longer propose to others
Thosor says: spells damaged the crystal, making everyone sleep at different time.
Migg says: and your desc says who you are married to
Migg says: check me
Uadjet says: And if the official word is that the ceremonies aren't performed, well there's a new Vigesimi that would be quite happy to perform a ceremony and declare the couple legally married upon request.
Krylor says: maybe we could have gm charachters that are purely clerics that could perform the swap and ceremony
Thosor says: and that's a soft g.
Fayrene says: that would be interesting
Dentritus says: I can propose Uadjet at least - not many kran available
Fayrene says: i think jardet would be happy to do such thing
Raraler says: OK thank you.
Migg says: can't remember who presided in my wedding
Uadjet says: Any other questions?
Harither says: ya
Harither says: you know when there will be a stresstest with the alpha testers or if the gm/dev team think about it?
Uadjet says: Hmm?
Kalterina says: I do not recall that either Migg
Noriko says: Can we have a way to finsih a /challenge with no "/yield"?
Gonger says: Stress test - what happens with 200 people or more?
Raraler says: In this case, other romantic/association structures can be roleplayed and described by involved characters without game mechanism.
Harither says: i wonder if we can get enouth ppls at once together to see what happens if we hang out at harnis or the market area.
Uadjet says: Oh, no idea.
Noriko says: ah, sorry
Uadjet says: There are vague plans for an event in PSU, though I'll have to pick a time.
Fliks says: that would be funb
Fliks says: fun*
Fayrene says: that will give a nice lag i think
Noriko says: it wasn't my time to ask a question, but I have one more
Uadjet says: Maybe on a Sunday at the usual Q&A time but on a weekend with no Q&A.
Uadjet says: Yes, Noriko?
Noriko says: Can we have a way to finsih a /challenge with no "/yield"?
Fliks says: you will not beleve the lag on ive experianced ingames ive played
Fayrene says: oh... i do.... *chuckles*
Kalterina says: I do recall the same sex marriages done in an rp format from a few players' characters.
Uadjet says: Err, I suppose that's possible. I know in some games the challenge ends if someone leaves a zone. Maybe it could be leaving the map, or just getting too far away.
Fayrene says: i dont like that word "challenge" :S
Noriko says: Fayrene it's an ingame term of PvP
Damola says: Would be nice to have an event in PSUnreal. I was not able to log in from 0.7.8/0.7.9 though I always got "connection lost"
Fayrene says: yeah.... i dont like pvp
Thosor says: Is pvp good for increasing your skills?
Migg says: PS has 2 PvP zones I think
Noriko says: sometimes I do to test a few things, to know how things work, somebody shows me how some things work
Fliks says: PvE is much better
Kalterina says: There are PVP areas designated in PS here, Fayrene
Noriko says: ad I use it to decrease my stats
Thosor says: practice sword with a mate, etc.
Fayrene says: thanksfully i havent found them yet
Kalterina says: What Niggg said
Kalterina says: *Migg*
Noriko says: Kalterina I heard they were disabled
Kalterina says: I had not heard that
Migg says: there were some fighting contests too in the past
Kalterina says: But then I do not pvp
Noriko says: I think somehting neutral "nobody won" will be a good solution
Migg says: you can always ask a player for PvP
Noriko says: Thats all questions I have
Thosor says: migg, do you get practice points or anything?
Uadjet says: That could work. I'll suggest it to the Devs.
Fayrene says: its definitely enough for me to have nasty critter running after me.... so i really dont need pvp
Kalterina says: pvp should be a choice.
Krylor says: i have done pvp fights years ago...i actually ended up in jail for pvp in hydlaa
Thosor says: hehe pvp cooking fight.
Fayrene says: urks.... no no no
Uadjet says: Okay, we're 36 minutes past the hour and I need to run out and get more limes and fish sauce for dinner.
Noriko says: Kalterina I see in settings it is a choise.
Thosor says: yes, adjurn.
Migg says: Thanks for the updates Uadjet!
Noriko says: Thank you a lot Uadjet for a talk
Migg says: and for the snacks!
Noriko says: thank you all for a discussion
Uadjet says: Thank you all for coming to the meeting! We'll see you at the next meeting on June 13th!
Kalterina nods at Noriko
Fayrene says: thank you very much for the update! it was really interesting! im looking forward to the new client ^^
Uadjet says: This was a good meeting.
Uadjet says: Have fun playing!
Kalterina says: Thank you Uadjet
Raraler says: To sustain Noriko's suggestion, a more detailed /challenge command (with options like 'firstblood', 'stopat10%heath'...) could allow to short PVPs
Harither says: i wanna ask the ppls whoi can access PSUnreal please please if you have a bug look in the bugtrracker for it and if you dont seeit report it!
Raraler says: Thank you Uadjet
Harither says: its for the benefit of the plpls who will join in later..
Harither says: the less bugs /feats the better for the ppls who follows.
>Thosor Riereri picked up a Hitchhiker's Towel
Migg says: lol
Harither says: what miggs?
Migg says: now I have to run out of here fast, Noriko
Mishka says: Okay nice seeing you all bye
Migg says: I challenged Noriko and she accepted
Noriko says: ok, let's see
Noriko says: how fast you're running
Migg says: now we are in a PvP fight
Migg says: as fast as you
Noriko says:
Migg says: how do you end a PvP? is there an /unchallenge?
>Kalterina Blazenloch waves.
Kalterina says: Bye all
Uadjet says: Take care!
