Gang Message and Fixes

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

First off, a feature addition: gang leaders can now post a gang message (visible from the main gang page) for members only. This will stay up until it’s changed or deleted. Messages can be added from the leadership tab. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for the suggestion.

Other updates:

  • The back room of Little Eddie’s will no longer unlock from the Docks. Special thanks to Dannzy for helping me nail this one down.
  • The vigilante encounter in the Sewers will now give it’s rewards instead of a unsightly error. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for this one.
  • The Third Eye will no longer pay off the wrong people at the Docks, only those who helped them get there. Thanks to Argeth for pointing this one out.

Cheers!

Today’s Updates

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

As you can imagine, most of today’s updates involve Gang Warfare. If you haven’t gotten into that yet, there is one update of note:

  • The Techniques page now orders by Chain number then alphabetically. This is purely a usability change, so if you feel this makes your life harder or easier, I’d love to hear feedback. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for the push here.

On to the gang and gang warfare updates:

  • You should now receive mail messages when you win or lose defending an area. Love it? Hate it?
  • It now displays in the Gang Warfare screen within the Gangs options what areas your gang currently has a hold in. An item has appeared on the scene that also helps give this feedback.
  • There will now be a Gang link on the top pane for gang members. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for pointing this one out.
  • Like profiles, gang pages now show a Previous, Random, and Next at the bottom. Should make looking for stuff a bit easier. Thanks to MoreUmlaut for the suggestion.
  • Your credits total in the character pane will now immediately update on creating a gang. Cheers to PaidPiedPiperPal for the bug report.
  • Performing gang actions (like whitelisting and blacklisting) from the profile screen will no longer temporarily make the target look like they’re part of your gang. Thanks to both MoreUmlaut and PaidPiedPiperPal for bringing this one to my attention.

Keep up the great work everybody! Keep the bug reports rolling in and have fun beating each other up a bit.

Cheers!

Today’s Updates

Friday, January 16th, 2009

A couple of little updates today.

  • You will now gain an equal amount of Hit Points when your base Strength goes up. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for the suggestion!
  • Boris now has an alternate reward for those who complete his quest after getting an ID card. Thank you Argeth for pointing out the opportunity here.
  • David now has some slightly more timely news between finishing the University and Slags quests. Thanks again to Argeth for this one.

Also got some good work done on Gang Warfare today. So all around good.

Cheers!

Today’s Update Rampage

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Have a nice string of fixes and updates today.

Here’s the lowdown:

  • The Trauma Tech skills is now working properly (it also has the appropriate description.)
  • You can now view other players’ skills in their profiles. Thanks for the suggestion, PaidPiedPiperPal.
  • Effects (like Fae Blessing and Ocean Song) you receive from noncombat encounters will now begin counting after that encounter. Thanks to Argeth for the bug report.
  • Characters’ names in the messages screen now link to that character’s profile. Good suggestion, MoreUmlaut.
  • Choices should now redisplay their image (along with the introduction when you navigate away. Thanks to Argeth and everyone else who reported this.
  • And, lastly, moving between locations using Metros will now clear the location in your character pane properly. Thank you Twitch, for helping me notice this.

Cheers!

Profiles!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

You can now view other players’ profiles through a link at the bottom of your character sheet. As you can imagine, this is one of the preliminaries for PvP, so you can ‘know thy enemy.’ And, perhaps more importantly, know thy friends.

In a related note, you can now write a description for your character (visible in the profile) by clicking on the creatively named ‘Description’ link on your character sheet. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for the suggestion.

Two other updates:

  • There is now a ‘Reply’ button for messages. Thanks again to PaidPiedPiperPal on this one.
  • David will now display appropriate text after you save him. Thanks to Argeth for the bug report and grats on actually saving David!

Cheers!
