But, btw, yes, it is hard to understand.
_balancing_ can mean many different aspects.

Well, no harm in asking except that Marco asked explicitly to avoid such questions "so you don't waste your time and ours" (his words).

And yes, balancing may be interpreted differently, ok. I did not mean to sound harsh, but you gotta agree that "why the EU web page is not in italian?" has nothing to do with the balancing manager.

Hi
Will there be any amps for faps in the near futhure ?

As it is today with the redicilus/insane cost to buy a god fap (read adj, imp or mod), EMT 2600 is not enough for many of us that start to reach medium health. We need domething that gives more health points per use, maybe somekind of amp or even better a new series of faps (crafted) with higher decay per use but more healthpoints.


regards
Omega

I would like to ask a few questions;

1. Why is MA promes us things they don't take care off (or it cost a lot waiting).
For example aaaaah the egg, vehicles, pets, rubberbanding, general bugs, and off course the lag.

2. Why does it to so long (more then 2 weeks) to answer my supportcase (still no answer, even a copy paste one).

3. Why does MA make things better for crafters and worse for miners and hunters.

4. Why does MA change the economy so a lot of players lose money just because items lose there markup (I lost more then 500 ped only on markup last 2 months).

5. Why is it possible that someone gets more globals a day while I havent seen a global in a whole month. Before VU 8.7 i got a global every 2 weeks regulair (there goes the theory of dynamic loot).

6. what is the meaning of changing the ESI's ? I havent seen one ESI after VU 8.7, and before that VU I saw 2 a 4 / month.

7. Is MA regulating the loot, I mean do they count markup as well in the loot.
Or do they look How much ammo u shot to get a decent loot.
I found it strange that i lost often 50 ped on a 100 ped ammo hunt (due decay, bad loot etc) and that while i hunt different mobs and maturity.

8. How does it come that particulair items drops often in a few days period and after that it drops rare ??? (there goes the dynamic loot again).

9. How does it come that we see old bugs back every new VU ???

I can go ask more questions for hours, but i leave it here.
BTW. I thing i now a vew answers already (copy paste etc etc).

I know i can ask one quistion, so pick one u like :-)

First off, thanks for asking

The recent Feffoid invasion of Fort Fury was a welcome distraction, although the lag was insane and I got kicked off the server three times. Unfortunaetly there was no story around the attack, so it looked more like a stress test for the servers (which failed miserably...). I think that MA needs to put some fun back into EU. There is too much time between events as well as unfinished story lines. Aaah...the egg.

Can we expect to see more frequent events and story lines that actually have both a head and a tail?

Cheers

The job titles could be seen as a little vague to us who don't hold copies of your job descriptions, so I'm hoping the questions asked up to now fall within your 'remit' and won't be handled with the general 'you'd have to ask someone else' response

Anyway, my little question would be: Why on an entire planet (and asteroid, and space station, in fact) filled with colonists is there so little happening?

I mean, the opportunities for story lines and missions is potentially so large, more could be happening at one time than the feffoid attack at one town. Yes, I know the bot attacks took place in a number of locations, but there is so much more that could happen at one time on a planet. More frequent news reports could keep people up to date. Believe me, in a virtual universe where real money doesn't stretch that far, patience is also stretched and short attention spans need to be kept occupied.

And what is the hatch time of an egg, anyway?! (Ahhhh ... etc)




Waffle, don't I!

first of all, hi, and nice to meet you.


now, to the question part.

as it is currently, we hardly have any "artificial behaviour"
as in, exept for the one a few days ago, we rarely have animal/robot/mutant attacks.

i, and as i am sure, many others, would be very pleased to see things like robot attacks, eomon herdings, pissed of feffoids attack cities. and not just those mentioned, but maybe sometimes mobs like umbranoids attack some town etc. (take a look at the search button, im sure you will find alot there.)

im sure there is a reason, but, care to explain why? servers cant handle it, coding not in place (as in, has to be done manually) or whatever the reason is?
and i saw a bit earlier it was asked if/when you are going to upgrade the servers. if you do so, can we see the attacks more often? (especially the old robot attacks, with the ship flying over the cities launching jamhotters etc.)

[Zabler]

Many good, relevant and big questions raised so far.. So i'll go with a easy one, so i hope for a good answer...

WHY oh WHY cant we have an "undress armor" button, you can make it work only inside CC or whatever, but undressing your armor and clicking to take apart the Armorplatings, repairing, putting it back together, and dressing up in armor again is just a waste of time.

I could be out creating decay for you instead.
I know i only loose 1-3 minutes (depending on how BUGGY my helmet is) doing this, but i do it 1-5 times each day.

Please, why cant we have such a button?



And:


Aaah.. the egg...

When "LG 2006" was announced I think It was dub who asked if buy the looks of the name there would only be one LG for 2006, and marco said no. We later learned that it was false, and there was only one LG in 2006.

So, will there be a LG in 2007?
(if you say yes, does that meen maybe no, and if you say no, does that meen prolly not).
See??, a clear answer on the future of LG would be nice.

What makes an item balanced, and how is the imk2, imp and mod faps balanced? arent those items the most un balanced items ingame. Maybe its time you fixed "nerfed" them just a little

I have a question about the new EU Website.
I cant find where to look for news now like i could in the old site.
Everytime i want to look at my old or ongoing supportcases i have to write a new one to be able to see my old ones. Why?
And it is hard to find where to file the supportcase now really.
there no tag for it on the main site.
I dont very much like the new website
