How would you feel if 1 out of 10 missions were unplayable?

Old news is old.

she seemed to be discussing the other competitors. that game has been ftp for a while (i have been playing it since launch) her comment about the "distinguished competition" seemed to indicate the other guys initials, also the comments about how good the outside environs are and that it "Was about to go" ftp as opposed to having gone ftp months ago, all seemed to be about our direct competition online. i apologize if in error(but the outdoors are good on there, really?)

Can we just delete the AE? (Velocity runs away in a panic, scared of the farmers and their rage... they will never find him in Cascade Archipelago!)

Mmm, yes, I had forgotten that there even *was* any other competition. Sorry, I've got no information about that one.

Yes, the word on the street is that the Distinguished Competition is about to go ftp. And that's really all I know, other than that their forums are a-buzz about it. I'm not paying all that much attention because free or not, I STILL can't figure out a way to beat that guy from another planet's sister [or whatever she is] with the game locking the door behind me and throwable/interruptible barrels standing in for inspirations. So ftp will do me no good.

They say it will happen in less than a month. And yes, the outdoors environments are really something to see, esp the beginner's zone; but I like it all gothic anyways. Indoors looks pretty darn good too; too bad their you-are-here-type maps are sub-par.

Wish there were a way to take the great in that game and the great in this one, and merge 'em. As for that other game that starts with the third letter in the alphabet, I have no idea if its ftp or not. I simply could not log out of that one fast enough the one time I tried it, and never had an urge to go back.

i hear ya, if we could pick up and weaponize items, or do moves like vine lash from them or the room crossing moves from the first competition..our engine cant do those, i SO wish it could. As a martial arts nerd, i wish we could do a rear choke out mez or a akido wrist take-down throw or a hop-in side kick.

oh and i did like the outdoors there, i played in the beta, the martial arts animations were even pretty good, but lack of costume options and pvp focus killed my desire to try to take on a third superhero themed mmo. so about praetoria/incarnates

kidding, i love ae, it needs to stay, it attracts a creative type of player that strengthens the community. wish i had the time to finally make the arcs i have written out.

Can we just delete everything you like that I don't?

I am keeping it in mind, thank you. Hence why I put it up there first. To make that clear.

1) Yes, I'm sure that spending another week, or even month, to make sure that their filter was properly updated and suited for its task would have resulted in all sorts of vile law suits.

2) It's not like they hadn't ran into similar problems with the original profanity filter in the ae.

3) This isn't a 'bug'. A bug is an unexpected software glitch. This is an oversight, negligence, just plain not thinking things through.

And it never should've happened, or at least it should've been rolled back untill properly fixed.

While the Goatee Universe lovefest is on, I wouldn't expect a fix in a time frame that is fast in any way shape or form.

Ditto

To repeat myself

You would think the fact people noticed an issue with the profanity filter was proof of that.

Profane or copywritten: an arc I had been working on is no longer even testable because half of my character/contact's name "Sakura" was copywritten material. I wonder what other common names are considered copywritten now? How about Saladin? Or Dean? Oh, I know, let's just say John, Dick, and Harry are RIGHT OUT!

You laugh, but if you read the thread in the AE forums you'll see you pretty much close to the truth.

In both cases, one thread is enough, really. They are already aware of it and are working on it. Simply because they were able to fix the Eden trial faster does not mean there is a conspiracy. It means it was able to be fixed faster.

I know. It's shocking, right?

honestly... I wasn't laughing...
