Honestly I can't say I would change much except maybe I would run fewer mayhems. I tended to go inch-deep-mile-wide with the game for the first few years, experienced every planet, every weapon skill, got some decent starter armor, figured out what worked and what didn't work. Everybody has...

They were only a little too quick on the draw. I use OpenAI Codex now and as a senior developer, I will absolutely tell you that, within a certain domain of the most common programming languages, it COMPLETELY REPLACES a junior dev in his first or second year. If you have the expertise to fix...

Gonna give MA some free advice, take it or leave it. I enjoy the game and want to see it survive. First. Cut the AI garbage. It's boring and finicky. Any dev energy or compute you dedicate to it is just money down the drain. Missions and rewards generated by the AI are drawn from a small...

the improvement of these packs is good, but it also highlights the need for a balance pass for a LOT of items already in the game.

Bingo. The reason for lack of MU is a lack of depositing players. Period. Shuffling loot tables around like a game of musical chairs ain't gonna fix anything at all.

so far i think this is one of the better patches in a while, assuming the current concerns are addressed

You get vibrant s......weat

Just gotta wonder about the TT weapons. Like, it would have been easier to just copy-and-paste the values from existing TT weapons. It would actually take more effort to make them different. In other words, it couldn't have not been deliberate to release them in the better-than-average state...

that depends a lot on what the exact content of the agreements are between PP's and MA. PP's might retain some kind of IP rights to their content.

Wow, there was a TT item that remained recycleable this long? I'm curious how many people on NI knew about this and basically had a license to print money all this time. Wild stuff. Nobody let it slip? For two whole years?

This seems very likely to me. As a result, it will be important for MA to have a system in place for the owner of the planet to give "creator/builder" privileges to non-owner avatars....i could see some owners as effectively "investors" or people who know what they want, but not how to create...

i really do think a lot of people just come on here to complain. don't understand it myself. we all complain sometimes, but you know, no need to be negative in the absence of a cause

this is way too restrictive. while i understand not everyone might like RT, the concept of theme-park planets is a great one. personally i'd love to see a medieval planet, or a dinosaur planet, or an anime planet.

I am kind of surprised you don't see more digital ads too. The unobtrusive types, like on billboards that are part of the world, or items that drop, or something. Definitely not pop ups.

Let me clarify. As the deadline nears, the opportunity cost for selling out (of a planet partner has no ability or desire to convert) approaches zero. Before a PP will simply let a planet die, they will sell out to MA. IMO, it seems obvious that every planet will either convert or be sold to...
