Does anyone know why SuckerPunch hasn't been updated?

I was going to play w/ a few power selections for FM/Regen but FM isn't even a selection...I'd use mids but I'm at work...

I have not seen SuckerPunch post on the forums or in game in quite sometime. I suspect he is not actively playing the game ATM. Unless someone took over the project in his absense, I wouldn't expect any updates any time soon.

Mid's Hero Planner project was taken up by someone else, the name escapes me ATM. I know they are working to update that project.

St0n3y is now a full-fledged Titan! He will be lead on the Mids' project and I will be his code-monkey backup that does all the shifty work with the code. Energy Aura will be his right-hand man relating to the numbers and such. Got ourselves a well rounded team here with st0n3y at the head of it.
so he's still there, but St0n3y is now the Lead

Well, the bitter truth and completely honest suggestion is to not bother with my Planner. I've "retired" from the game, and the current site is only current as of like Issue 8 or 9.

There's an "updated" version that I started on that Steiner may try and complete, but I don't know what kind of time frame that would be on.

I'll make sure it doesn't. Mids' is still going to be an all around better tool... but the planner will arise.

It is an awful lot of work... every time there is a single patch release or new issue, we have 100s of megabytes worth the information to update. Though we've been doing it long enough to where it is practically routine.

I will continue SuckerPunch's Planner, he has that updated version he was speaking of that I can continue. I don't want to go trading on his name in case it sucks... so it will probably get a new name along the lines of Titan Network Specs Planner or something equally as droll lol .

There are a few plans I intend to continue that SP had for his planner. ONE of them (that I think everyone would enjoy knowing about)... "support from Mids'". Meaning you'll be able to save your builds locally or on the planner site, not to mention that they will be backwards compatible with each other. Build a build on the planner, works in Mids', for fine-tuned number crunching. Though planner will too have it's own numbers system, the main reason SP even brought me on. Though I don't think the numbers will be as extravagant as Mids'.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's get the rest of the network up to par with i14 first. We have a 2 other main projects we need to roll out before we can go back to the upgrading of the planner.

Actually, I've just very recently un-retired from an 8+ month sabbatical, and am working on a new, updated version

Haha, thanks! I'm kind of surprised by the support I've received since coming back. I kind of figured people would have abandoned the old Planner ages ago. It's what, 7 issues behind?

I use it a lot! I didn't even know who it was run by or anything but I've always greatly enjoyed it.

I had always wondered why it was called "SuckerPunch" lol

Now I know...hehe

I think there are many of us that are glad you've returned and are really looking forward to seeing it updated.

Welcome back and thanks for the great work!
I always use the planner when I am not home.

Just wanted to pop in and say that the new planner is well under way

(That's a screenshot from an actual working copy, not some design mockup).

Bonus points if you pick out new features based on that screenshot!
