Interesting. The sploit I mentioned in a different topic about getting easy past lives, has been fixed in the latest patch.

Now I am confidant that some1 in the dev team actually intentionally seeps exploits in, and fixes them, whenever the soil becomes heated up beneath his/her feet.

This is not the first time that a sploit is mentioned without actual giveaway (aka no descriptions as to hwo it works was involved), yet somehow devs found it in a couple of weeks.

But this means that cheats are actually "smuggled" into the game, so there must be a group of people way ahead of the vaulties, who are also in close connection to a dev (or more devs).

Let this be my christmas comment, I am off for a while.


Cool

It looks as though the relationship with the store vendor might not have been a smooth one for Standing Stone.  It's been two days since the last freeby (enabled via store) expired and the store doesn't even have tabs for promotions and % sales any longer since the last one expired on the 2nd.  But the store is still available, and so perhaps just awaiting new instructions for freebies and promotions/sales.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

The person who was in charge of those garbage freebies decided to stay with turbine.
They just used her game plan she had until it ran out a few days ago.

most probably... getting all the things in working order is not a small task for a split like that.

( now I'm not gone all over and became a new Leslie... but I have a fair idea of what a migration on that scale entails, been there, done something similar in the telecom world, got the scars and was one member of the team of 3 that pulled an all nighter to fix a botched dataset migration in a hurry, because none of us wanted to do a rollback... once upon a time )

damn, I just only made the relation... we have an equipment at $ORK that's called SSG...
and it's something that's painful to keep updated with the user list...
It's also something that is very important when things go pear shaped, since SSG means Secure Service Gateway and allows the on call people to reach the customer systems when they went belly up and got woken up at an indecent hour.

oh, and the header is funky as hell... but most of you don't even know how to look at it.

Last, I can't tell for the Kraut ( but I'm sure Azog can ) but the Frog version is the exact same legalese words. So it seems they did hire a Frog Speaker to get it done.

More like 'More propaganda' instead of details. Nothing against you Tech thanks for posting it, the whole thing was a huge knob-gobbler session. Fucking fat chin dodges the issues right out the gate, big surprise.  The way fanbois want to buy into the whole fucking employee own fantasy just makes me shake me head. At 4:25 the brown noser says 'your own company' literally 10 seconds after Snook begrudgingly admits that SSG is not employee owned.

The number of times sev said 'we did it all for the players...' line was laughable. As for the rest... meh.

15:00 Daybreak has final say including editorial.


17:35  Re: Asheron's call being toast the guy who oversaw killing goes Trump~ "very sad" I laughed loud and hard.   


20:18 "Players demanded when we surveyed them" surveyed lololololol except for races no survey in years. sooooo full of shit. Like listening to them talk about "our data" last year  Grin

24:12 Re: WOC's checking on the content "they don't want us to vary from the IP" Give us a break Sev. DDO has little resemblance to D&D 3.5 anymore much less 5.0.

I listened to the cast, read your comments and then re-listened to the section on daybreak.  I didn't hear either Cordovan or Severlin say Daybreak has "final say" over anything.  Editorial or otherwise.  You have a quote to back this up?

Here's what I heard:

Interviewer: "With some developer and publisher relationships there is some editorial control, but that doesn't sound like it is the case in this situation"

Cordovan: " I mean, we will see what ends up happening here but, you know, both games have long standing communities with long standing development teams with a lot of institutional knowledge, you know, we know how to make these games and we know how to keep them successful so to some extent it's like don't rock the boat."

Things that were discussed: Daybreak handling DNS registrations and using some Daybreak tech on the launcher and in infrastructure.  For things like HR and billing.  Where did they say Daybreak ad final say on editorial?

Cordovan clarifying that they are not self owned, and this large publisher is now involved.
I guess its possible that there was a third-party buyer and that SSG is paying Daybreak a percentage for publishing services,  but it seems to me that the people with capital would be organized through Daybreak and not another party. I could be wrong. Wouldn't we have heard about the other party?
