Man, I24 (and I25 after) feels like we were about to discover the fountain of youth, with a tree growing on it that had a never-ending supply of fruit that tasted like whatever you were in a mood for. And then a crevasse opened in the earth and swallowed us all.

Right? Right?
(Agreed on the updates and plans... I am especially, and completely, surprised and amazed that demo recording was getting improvements... It's astonishing and fantastic and I think things are going to have to continue, through Dark Respite's will alone, lol.
Seriously, this game was constantly getting better and, as I've said numerous times now, has no place being ended right now. None. It's insanity.)

You have to be a little careful about playing very old demos with very new clients because sometimes the animation names change, and then the entities don't do anything. Or sometimes they join the Ice Capades:|

That is being played back with the camera repositioned, by the way.

Heh. Well, happily or sadly, depending on how you look at it, that's a problem I don't really have. I don't have very many old demo recordings. In addition to a HD loss of my gaming drive that ate some of my oldest stuff, I was never really into movie making, which of course demos rock for. I'm much more interested in it all now, of course, in case its the only CoH fix I can get.

So, why is this feature interesting? Lots of reasons, but here's one in particular:

So here I am chilling in an old school Hami raid, which I used to demorecord a lot. The old school raids where after you cleared the mitos you used to just stand around waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
I wonder what was going on while I was just standing around waiting...
Huh. Hey, is that the rally rock way back there?
Why yes it is.
Sorry for the jerky movement: I use inverted-y mouse control, but demorecord apparently doesn't.

Wow. There were always people who loitered on the rock and other various out-of-the-way places on Justice during raids, but not that many.

I think this is a very early raid, and the leaders were taking a short break before setting up the hold phase. That's where the non-controllers used to wait on Triumph until Hami was held.|

Ah, that makes a ton of sense. I don't think Justice peeps retreated all the way to the gathering rock, but it's been a long time and I joined that scene moderately late in the scheme of things. I recall falling back to the edge of the bowl, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was just me doing my own thing, as I am oft want to do even now.|
