Hold the gently caress on... didnt lando and ben both say that private servers wouldnt be a thing until way way Way after release? Like last possible thing they would implement on some ATV?

found it: youtube

Lando posted:

Private servers are the absolute last thing on the list. There is nothing that comes after private servers..


... We will be done with alpha, we will be done with beta. We will be live, and in operation for some time before anybody even looks at private servers ...


Added to the tracker. Basically that is 100% broken if you aren't a gullible backer. It's not possible to setup this network, get it running; then throw in "Now let's run part of that entire stack on a private server" without re-thinking the entire architecture.

We decided to change 'In progress' to 'In alpha' primarily because keeping track of what is supposedly in progress was almost impossible because of CIGs farce of "Open Development" and nobody was interested in watching hours of AtV.
Then there was the problem of stuff shown years ago, does that count because players still can't access it. Is it in progress or did they put that down and go work on something else? According to CIG everything is in progress.

Also VR is cancelled. CR can say whatever the gently caress he wants. You don't just 'add in' VR at a much later date years down the line.

The VR guy quit last year in his words "to go work on VR". You need 90+ FPS at all times to enjoy VR without vomiting. You need to develop all animations, interactions, etc with VR in mind. They aren't. A seamless FPS, Ship, menu experience in a giant MMO would be next to impossible right now even if they focused on this Day 1. They have explicitly said (and its 100% clear from what they show) they aren't doing this. Hell, even devs said "don't hold your breath".

I still don't get why backers use VR and Star Citizen in the same sentence. Same with modding and private servers. There is literally 0 indication they care or are doing anything about this.
They have even explicitly said on a number of occasions they don't give a poo poo about those features.

this. Yet Backers continue to complain about Rift support being marked as broken. I will look for the VR guy quit letter because it's also impossible to find CIG admitting anything has been dropped because VR, private servers, etc. No matter how small everything is a selling point and they won't admit when they have no intention to deliver. There's also a mentality that anything can be added later and we know how that turns out:

Theres 0 reason to say something is cancelled. In fact, saying so opens up liability as they've sold products with those things explicitly marked as upcoming features (some were marked for launch even). So admitting they are no longer coming spreads FUD and opens themselves up massively. So well after realease can mean anything from 6 months to 5+ years. And release is already several years away. Its cancelled.

They moved the shelf back in the video.

I gotta ask why they even showed it with the hosed up shelf only to show them fixing it, then. Not that it doesn't make the animation awful because no one takes things off of a shelf like that unless the box is made of styrofoam and has nothing in it.

Streetroller posted:

Hahahaha! That things real.

That's not even the most hilarious slide. There's one where they talk about how there was a development emphasis on graphics without any thought to what they were trying to achieve or even what was reasonable that resulted in pot plant models that had a polycount equal to that of a Player Character's model. FFXIV 1.0 is a cautionary tale a lot of people miss in the amazing tale of rebirth that was A Realm Reborn.

Probably. The lore seems to fit his persona and explains how he found a wife:

Some legends say that Tane made the first man, named Tiki. More widely known is a
tradition that Tane was trying to find himself a wife, but at first he found only non-human
females and fathered insects, birds, and plants. One such was Rangahore, who gave birth
to a stone and was abandoned by Tane. Then he made a woman by moulding her from the
soil.

This reminds me of the time I almost got caught by Chris Hansen on "To Catch a Predator". I showed up with the trunk of my car lined with garbage bags, along with some lye and digging tools. It was clear I wasn't interested in sex crimes, but they couldn't actually prove intent to murder. Got away free and clear.

The cookies and lemonade Chris gave me were pretty good.

Curiously venting the cargo room was an early driving concept in FTL too. However they kept finding it never matched how fun it was in their mind and the feature was eventually cut basically. Though you can still die from venting all your oxygen.
