I was quite sure I had a third one from Everdraed bookmarked, but apparently I didn't. Shame.

Alright, I got my care package (holy poo poo thank you) so I'm probably gonna do the same thing the other new guy did and sell one for some spending cash since I'm broke. Not sure what the hell I'm doing still in general, the game has so much more poo poo going on now than last time I played.

Went ahead and made an account on the Wesley wiki, name is Sevorast there same as here.

Yeah I'm a queue to log in as well.

Salami just tweeted about the server queues.

"Sorry about the server queues, everyone! A lot of people are liking the new content!"

I'm sure that's the reason.

This reminds me of when we started trolling in earnest and PVP'ing. Gunney, a pubbie shitlord of that era, only managed 73 damage, if I recall correctly. Not 73 DPS, but 73 over the course of a 15-0 space match.

Why do that when I can go for low hanging fruit like people posting while high and random idiots in D&D?

Psycho Landlord posted:

Talk poo poo about Cryptic as a dev all you want to, since they do plenty of dumb, weird poo poo on their own, but a lot of the recent content output is probably the fault of the playerbase, because nobody who plays STO (and this includes goons) seems to actually know what they want from the game and we are all prone to hyperbole.

It's absolutely NoSQL. At one point they pushed a patch out that broke their references and they spent like a day of downtime fixing their referencial integrity.

No idea why you'd use a NoSQL db for a game like this. It's a huge pain in the rear end. Wouldn't surprise me if everything was just serialized json blobs or something and that's why they can't ever update things already in the wild.

MikeJF posted:

Apparently Cryptic rolled their own NoSQL db when they wrote Champions in 2007. With their own c-based query language.

Cutedge posted:

Actually, remembering STO's history, they didn't have a ton of time so it's all based on their Champions tech. From the timeframe it's probably not even JSON but XML.

Cutedge posted:

Hardcore.

To be honest, the idea of writing my own database software has never even remotely crossed my mind. When I was at Sony they just used Postgre for everything. Although I'm sure if you went back to the EQ1 code they probably just had flat files, at least at some point.

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.

I forget the exact details, but I think Atari had the license for D&D 4e video games but they were incompetent and sat on it and that's why we never saw a 4e BG/NWN-style game despite the system basically being perfect for it. But I guess they had Cryptic start some work on an MMO, and Cryptic inherited (or re-bought) the license when they got bought out by PWE who pushed to finish or something? And there it is.

It's a shame too since I think the core gameplay of it is actually really, surprisingly fun, even if the character customization and art direction and such is so horribly generic by Cryptic standards. It's just the cash shop bullshit is so comically blatant and punitive there's no reason to ever actually play it. I'm pretty sure the only goons who played it did so because they scripted the gently caress out of the DOFF-equivalents in the game over NWO's much more robust web portal, but that got nerfed into the ground months back. I mean just the inventory issue alone is so hilariously bad, you get like 20 slots or something but there's a billion different potions and materials and poo poo that drop (to feed into the equally exploitative RNG-heavy item upgrade stuff) and buying inventory space is like fifteen loving dollars and a single character unlock. Then there's poo poo like the companions (the big ticket buy, kinda like STO ships) being way overpriced, having massive cash sinks to make them useble, and also being single character unlocks...

I mean for all we rightly bitch about how poo poo like new ship tiers and the upgrade system ruined STO, it's simple and cheap and generous and welcoming in comparison. NWO is so badly set up it's amazing it's even by the same company, and I imagine PWE hosed around a lot with it during development.

I noticed the same thing but I get that sometimes on wiki sites so I though it was just my computer. Maybe someone needs to reroute the CSS conduits through the positronic matrix chamber and reverse the phase polarity of the hypertext dampeners?
