I just realized something. I went back to the RSI referral program video to look at the comments, and while the video was playing, realized they pulled another ToS maneuver. Sure, you win the trip to GamesCom and a "chance" to meet Chris Roberts. A chance. "But I didn't get to meet Chris!" "All we promised was a chance. Not a hard cold fact. Sorry your chance didn't work out, kid." Also, what is the German term for roach pit or no-tell motel?

Snazzy Frocks posted:how is it that people profit on the grey market when there is no real shortage of ships or features and you'd just have to wait until they put everything on sale again Serious answer: 1) Sell "Referrals" for half price. IE 10 for $200. 2) Take money, buy 10 accounts, use the referral code so first transaction completed. You now have ten half-price accounts. 3) Turn around, sell the accounts at 70% market value, or convert to RSI funbux and sell that at 70% market value. 4) You've just turned 200 bucks into 280 bucks. It's a lot more hustling than people had to do a couple years ago, when CIG hadn't set the expectation that they would be selling ships at every opportunity. There was a point where certain ships were going for 4x their original sale price. Coincidentally that's also the point where a lot of the big ship clearing-house people got started. At this point any of those people still in the market are going to be left holding the bag though. Nothing's going to move at more than 70% of the store price.

I was skipping around that ATV video and I landed on the mustachio guy talking about builds. Here's an idea, (lackey reading thread for your overlords). Instead of compiling 283752908357927592 gigabytes of high res models every time you want to test a new build. Test it without textures. You don't need them. There your build time just went from three hours to three minutes. I expect an Idris-M as compensation.

We all know the real breakthroughs are in 4.0' But seriously, when CIG released the 3.0+ schedule. They themselves, if everything went according to plan, delayed all of 3.0s features to be completed Q1 2018. The current 3.0 has 3/4s of the pitched features stripped out. I mean jesus christ they even cut the most important networking poo poo bind/unbind out of 3.0. Hope they enjoy their 15 fps that aint going anywhere.

Lladre posted:I was skipping around that ATV video and I landed on the mustachio guy talking about builds. here's how things go, as was told to me last year since Roberts has final approval on everything, artists or designers send the absolute best version of whatever they have to him. this includes hi res, hi poly mods that will not be used in game, as well as ultra res textures. if Roberts kicks your poo poo back down to you, you get a pretty severe dressing down, usually during a meeting. one of my friends (she's working on the new SW game) got talked down to in front of her entire team, causing her to quit. but it doesn't end there. he places a flag on your work afterwards, so he will always double check for "problems" with whatever you send him. keep in mind he receives hundreds of emails like this a week, so the shitlist people get looked at first. what he doesn't check is anything gameplay related. assets are what he really cares about, and as my friend said, "the cinematic feel" of said assets. one of the things Roberts used to go on about is that "gameplay organically grows" from what they create. I know I posted about all this before in some fashion, but it's been awhile
