I notice that the AoA alpha record is listed for EST and PST. The U.S. is switching to daylight time tomorrow, March 9. So are the times listed standard time or daylight time?

Dear SC,
I think I can say, as one of the Illy community, that I appreciate this answer a lot more than what we have (or have not been) receiving for some time. We all love this game. We hate it to at times, but that is indeed the community who makes us do it. If you can only get the technical thing going again. We'll love it as we did before. In the end. Illy is ours. But I thank you for giving it to us ;o) Shad Edited for sneaking in an excuse to Kumomoto. (last thread was closed before I could apologise). Name calling and stuff I did was bad form. My apologies.

More Orc, less talking!
All that is said is my own opinion. I am not a leader nor voice for Invictus. I will always abide by Invictus's rules. |

I really do get what you're saying here. The illy architecture is very unusual, and the codebase equally so - largely my fault - and for certain (broadly game agnostic) subsystems it makes a hell of a lot more sense to rewrite from scratch (without my kakky-fingered coding that no one understands, including me) than trying to patch. And that includes new (promised) dev areas as well. I think I understand the challenges of implementing pathfinding (and hence naval things for illy) and I've even made a pretty good stab at it. But it's buggy as hell atm, and I'd be much more confident if we could hire someone who was an acknowledged expert in this area to write it from scratch. There are some truths here about illy's current codebase and current scalability that really need to be addressed - just as much as the promises of shiny new stuff (in either game). I hope that makes sense as a direction, and if it generates ill will in the short- to medium- term, I do understand why. SC

Hate to admit it, but advertising the promise of a new toy to the fans of the old toy, when the old toy has been slowly falling apart for lack of attention from the maker, is liable to generate some ... well negativity...
Ed. -- Let me alter that a bit.. perhaps hostility? Think we will see an increase on the number of alliances at war with the Band of Devs.... and a steeper decline in prestige purchasing . . . Edited by Le Roux - 08 Mar 2014 at 18:07 |

The announcement mentioned pathfinding.
Will pathfinding be in the game from the beginning or is AoA just an opportunity to wait eternally for pathfinding in two games simultaneously?

I will not see you in space. I am too disappointed in the fact you all have let Illy down to produce a new game. Broken Lands ended up being Broken Promises.
