[NeferPitou]

We have to burn in hell for asking so many release date questions. Now you want a % ? Hell no.

Hello, I represent the Vanilla Coalition and we'd like to remind people that vanilla is a flavor, too.

 

[Gazz]

Does all this "modding is not an option" bs nonsense go away when the server listing combines vanilla and modded on one list?

Never completely. Some players have this unwavering faith that The Developer always knows better than themselves what they want.

Modders can not possibly know anything about game design or balancing.

I have no idea how Roland is measuring progress. I'm leaning towards "WAG".

I assume "Wild Ass Guess". But you might actually mean "Weaponize A Guppy". Or maybe "Wild Agoraphobic Grandma".

Only the shadow knows.

Worship his Shadow

 

[Xrt]

Thanks for the Informations.
Modding is not an option. We host a MP Server that will stay Vanilla to approach the most Players ( not my call, but whatever^^)

So im thankful for every feature that TFP can implement.

Doesnt need to be A17, but i think a lot of current Features could use some fleshing-out beforre going Gold

Not really critizising, just a greedy fella that never can get enough of this allready awesome game ( 2200hours and its getting more )^^

Hi Rass, you guys really have the best PVE server. Player eZ here

 

[Guppycur]

...mostly true I suppose. At least for the masses. Modders have the edge in that they can balance for themselves, a luxury you don't have.

 

[Maharin]

I thought Gazz was the supreme commander of everything?

You all should know that Gazz becomes so entranced by the equations he creates to nerf stuff and force players to make tough choices that he often misses team meetings where we discuss these very issues. There is a very simple methodology to the HP bar. The most important aspect of it however is that it is big, it is red, and it is at the top of the screen.

 

[Gamida]

We can't even get temperature to work or get a video and you guys want traps and hydraulics too..lol good luck.

Mine was more of a joke. Not meant as a possibility. Like if someone asked for bears riding on airships

That sounds like I imagine things would be asked at the meeting of someone setting up a pron site...

 

[Roland]

Hmmm...."pron".... must be a typo but only two things come to mind. Obviously, it must be either

prom

or tron

Man, I hope it's tron because prom sucked. We'll discuss this at the next Forum HP Bar Team Meeting. Gazz, I hope you're there.

Nope. Most people who run servers and call themselves "server admins" don't even know what a "Stompy" or a "Botman" is let alone having to do anything other than hitting the start button on their renteds. You expect them to MOVE FILES into folders? What is this, a responsibility or sumptin'??

who's that stompy guy?

 

[Guppycur]

That's sad. So many people not even knowing what they're missing...

 

[Maharin]

 

[Tetrameth]

Yes, zombies that used to work in a bread factory would work. Better yet make them invisible so we can have millions in a horde.

Even better, make horde night instantly switch the entire interface to text mode, sky's the limit

 

[Gazz]

who's that stompy guy?

An old-ish cartoon. Stompy & Ren.

Prom wouldn't suck with that chick by your side...

Sometimes the worst books come with the best covers. Just sayin'.

 

[Gazz]

Bah. Don't judge a cover by it's book.
