Our very own Greyscale has, as the subject line says, discovered that Iceland is cold. Although, in defense of Iceland, the last few days haven't been too bad, you can feel spring coming. Ok, so we Swede's also enjoy talking about the weather.
It appears that Greyscale wishes to tease us this time, the blog hints at something new and exciting but he isn't telling us exactly what. I think as far as blogs goes this is best described as a teaser for some upcoming cool feature. Head over to Postcards from a bloody cold country and see if you can unravel this mystery. |

Edited by: Bartholomeus Crane on 18/04/2008 11:46:46 I second Graystock's motion ... that CENSORED better be faction warfare otherwise you'll have some really disappointed puppies on your hand here!

dang...this dev blog is a real mystery. He's talking about something, but about what...no idea. It's the kind of speech what some presidents are fond of. |

my guesses for CENSORED: factional warfare
BTW, could it be that CCP is introducing more new systems / constellation for that purpose? |

BTW what I got from the e-on factional warfare article is that it will be a lot like exploration (content wise) and entirly based in lowsec. |

Oh, please send me the real version of this nice excel-sheet!
Joking aside: I really want to get the hard facts about [censored] soon, so that we can discuss all the potential problems. While the GMs might know a lot of stuff, it will be much better to ask the players themself for their opinion. Just informing us, when all features are set into stone, might bring a lot of problems. And one big request: Don¦t hurry with the deployment! Bring it to Sisi as soon as possible and keep it there till everything works. |

You'd think the name of the country would be an obvious enough clue about what kind of weather you can expect.

Perhaps so, but "we have an automatic name generator built into our authoring tools. Not sure who's responsible for it, but it's handy" + "Last week I spent a fair amount of time getting to grips with the procedures needed for adding new stations and stuff" kind of sounds like new space to me.

This is a Donnie Darko style blog, everybody can take it what every way they want,pretty cool..
Quote: For example, this morning we were running another small playtest of some of the new systems with the help of the GMs. This is turning out to be very (1)productive û we've found some things that need tweaking, and there were (2a)explosions, so everyone's happy. Last week I spent a fair amount of time getting to grips with the procedures needed for adding new stations and stuff, which it turns out involves an awful lot of (2b) Quote: staring-at-the-map and jumping-around-looking-at-stuff.
It's less fun than you'd think, to be honest.
(1) A hit at a change to production, including new waste calculations, PL cost based manufacturing, Moon minerals etc.
(2a+2b) are related, involving changes to sovereignty and POS warfare, "jumping-around-looking-at-stuff." Sounds like POS warfare to me. "It's less fun than you'd think"
Yeah for the PuzzleBlogÖ

Obviously CENSORED is an acronym. I'm thinking:
Clone Editing and Navigational System Operation Reality Extension Device
which will allow us to 1) modify the attributes of certain clones and 2) fly our ships with a joystick or steering wheel. And nitrous.
I also think that the whole Factional Warfare thing was the result of a typo that got out of hand, and it's really _Fractional_ Warfare, which will give us a reason to use all the micro sized mods.

Heh, for once a "dev blog" entry which actually felt like a blog entry.
Good luck on CENSORED. Which may be factional warfare, or may involve Giant Attack Hamsters. Betting on the hamsters, myself.

I don't know anyone who'd think POS warfare is fun, but it does sound that way. It could also be something to do with implementing the Modular POS UI idea that's been floating around in Features & Ideas since forever.
Which would actually be pretty cool, and definately a surprise from what everyone expects. //// ---------=== []= ---------=== \\\\ Rifter(RedBad)

..and by 'adding new stations' you mean 'not doing anything of any significance to the map'.

Well, 0/10 for content.
No mention of bug fixes.
Actually, no mention of anything of any relevance to the game.

You may want to fix that picture in the dev blog. It's just a thumbnail and there's no way to enlarge it and actually see what it says. |
