Postpone Green launch?

[uygi]

Gonna point out that gameplay, connectivity etc. bugs are fully classic. On day one of EQ, was non-melee dog in yet, or did the mobs still “/say Hit by non-melee for 12 points of damage”? I see nothing unclassic about a bunch of minor bugs.

Shit, maybe they had gobs of secret research and actually added all of these bugs on purpose to match original EQ launch over 20 years ago.

A+ job Rogean, Nilbog and all staff past and present who brought us here. I think we should especially thank all of the developers that have since moved on and all their thankless contributions. To all current contributors, thanks for all your future thankless contributions as well.

Holy cow, I forgot that. It was so awkward. We NEED to get this on Green! Surely something that is server-side only and can be hacked in by Rogean in an hour tops?

It should be fine , my only question is if they are increasing the spawn rate for Launch to compensate the population or if its just for testing. they made note of the XP change for testing but not the spawn rate.

Spawn rate did seem real fast on green beta

Yes it does.

Most issues are minor and/or quick fixes. I expect Nilbog and the Content team to attack that list with Fury never seen in a Developer before.... :eyes:

But yea, definitely not postponing at this point. We'll fix most of the stuff then clean it up after launch with patches.

We're not even done implementing new mechanics either. UI Updates, Night Darkness, /List, and Achievements, all still coming.

Can we get an OFFICIAL word from on-high in regards to the increasing of spawn rates for Green launch? Even just in the noobie areas would be fantastic!

EDIT: And a huge THANKS to you and the team for all you've done over the past decade!

I'd be curious about this too. Qeynos hills spawns for example -- are faster in certain areas. Namely outside Blackburrow mobs seem to be much faster than the usual 6-7 mins. It might just be for beta for testing purposes but if launch will have increased spawn rates it would be a good thing to know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

And yes -- thanks for all the hard work. I donated when I found out Green was coming, planning on doing it again after christmas [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is green beta running on the new hardware?

I really like the idea of having an unannounced launch so that neckbeards can't schedule off 3 weeks of hermit poopsocking time. Just randomly the green server turns on with no announcement and wait to see how long it takes people to spread the word.
