[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> OK so here’s how the Q&A will work
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> I’m not into numbers lol, not my job 
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> so if you hve questions about features you’d like, stuff like that, I may be able to help
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> ill do it for 10 minutes though
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> then i need to play some Legions ^_^
[20:05] <Akuyazi> you got in!
[20:05] <Akuyazi> >:[
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> of course i did lol
[20:05] <BMLeo> on instantaction?
———————
[20:05] <throwawayloki> how big is the filesize on the next build
[20:05] <TaylorFSS`home> im Taylor Fucking Balbi
[20:05] <Saveme> Hes TaylorBalbi!
[20:06] <reload> My biggest concern is the huge ping spikes I get while using any kind of attack in succession.
[20:06] <firemothzx> Can we got a Light area increase bonus on weapons or something, Very hard to crawl around dark dungeons
[20:06] <Akuyazi> im pretty sure i was first 1000
[20:06] <throwawayloki> cause my comp is slow, and the last one took me like 6 hours
[20:06] <TaylorFSS`home> because our internal version isn’t a build like you guys would see
[20:06] <Akuyazi> can beta testers invite ?
[20:06] <TiberiusAudley> Hay, I has a kwestyun for Mister Taylor Baldy.
[20:06] <TaylorFSS`home> it will be smaller though
[20:06] <throwawayloki> nice
[20:06] <TaylorFSS`home> Aku, we won’t be adding any player invitations anymore
[20:06] <TaylorFSS`home> sure thing, sup Tibs
———————
[20:06] <TiberiusAudley> Will you guys ever abolish Elite plx?
[20:06] <Cholesterol> Have widescreen draw distances been worked on?
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> Unlikely
[20:07] <TiberiusAudley> And implement PERFUMES?
[20:07] <throwawayloki> i guess that makes sense, 1 zone instead of 3
[20:07] <BMLeo> minions are cool but they start stinking at higher levels, and idea how to get around that?
[20:07] <Vacorsis> hai guyz can i haff invites plz
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> What I hope to see is the barrier between Hardcore and Softcore removed
[20:07] <Firedogking> I bought FAte 3 years ago. so that why I talk about fishing and pets.
[20:07] <throwawayloki> lol softcore
[20:07] <TiberiusAudley> I’d rather see the barrier between Normal and Elite removed, with methods for all players to bump up their difficulty through items.
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> hmmm
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> we’ll see
[20:07] <reload> TiberiusAudley - agreed
———————
[20:07] <Ddr> I’m not sure if anyone asked this yet but, are ’safe zones’ going to be added at the beginning of epic areas?
[20:07] <synaptik> agreed
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> similar to WoW’s Heroic system
[20:07] <Reader> thanks for the invite to the talk in Mythos Taylor… see you later
[20:07] <throwawayloki> what are you doing about the tesla problem
[20:07] <Firedogking> Fishingand pets LOl.
[20:07] <TaylorFSS`home> Ddr, not sure
[20:08] <Saveme> Or allow Normals to run with elites but not the other way around
[20:08] <synaptik> too much seperation for players to have diff modes like that
[20:08] <TaylorFSS`home> That is something worth noting though, because i have the same issue with epic elite maps
———————
[20:08] <Deathtiny> taylor still plans for a retirement for lvl 50 chars to get the “son” better starting-stats ?
[20:08] <SimonSaysBaka> yes maybe do the elite normal as it was in d2 normal nightmare
[20:08] <TaylorFSS`home> uncertain again Deathtiny, that system has yet to come to fruition hehe. We have other things coming first
[20:08] <Deathtiny> shure
[20:08] <TaylorFSS`home> sorry I was gone, I was teaching Gladiator how to fly around in Legions lol
[20:08] <Firedogking> …. fishing and pets still no word. 
[20:09] <TaylorFSS`home> well, Fishing is possible
[20:09] <TaylorFSS`home> the Overworld does have a lake in it
[20:09] <BMLeo> right click + space to fly
[20:09] <throwawayloki> are you going to be nurfing op builds *cough* telsa *cough*
[20:09] <Firedogking> YES!
[20:09] <TaylorFSS`home> hehe BMLeo, more along the lines of how to gain speed and stop from slowing down on slopes etc.
[20:09] <SimonSaysBaka> 
lakeS
[20:09] <DrWaffles> gah teslas arent op :S play them to 40 on elite
[20:09] <DrWaffles> THEN tell me they are op
[20:09] <BMLeo> oh thats hard to explain
[20:09] <Akuyazi> <TaylorFSS`home> well, Fishing is possible <-/me wants fishing
[20:09] <Firedogking> I know some folks mocked me about pets cause they said.. pokymon but alot fo folks never played fate.
[20:09] <TaylorFSS`home> Nerf, of course. Nerfs will definitely come and you will see TONS of them in due time
[20:09] <TaylorFSS`home> we’re going to do a lot of balancing soon
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> ya, Firedogking excellent point
[20:10] <Saveme> Any news on the CTF travis mention somewhere in the pile of “Tie off SL” threads?
[20:10] <Ddr> Are any builds going to be deleted?
[20:10] <BMLeo> any plans for minion builds?
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> I can’t comment on the pets though 
[20:10] <Firedogking> oooh
[20:10] <Firedogking> you dirty god!
[20:10] <throwawayloki> how about boosts, ive seen alot of talk about nurfs and whatnot, but some of the lesser skills seem to be ignored sometimes
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> well, the CTF Travis mentioned is something that we hold high up on a mountain
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> we want it to be good and perfect
[20:10] <Akuyazi> you need more items like fireworks
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> we don’t want to give you some kind of half-asses CTF system then change it on you
[20:10] <TiberiusAudley> It better be something other than a Flag.
[20:10] <TaylorFSS`home> competitive playing needs to get anchored
[20:10] <SimonSaysBaka> O_o
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> TiberiusAudley, im praying for keys
[20:11] <TiberiusAudley> Capture the Statue of Zardon, or something.
[20:11] <Deathtiny> ^^ just make the craftable recipe drop for fireworks
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> here’s MY idea guys, let me know what you think
———————
[20:11] <BMLeo> how about a camo index that determines how hard it is for enemies to see you?
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> Taylor Balbi’s CTF Idea:
[20:11] <Saveme> Capture the Gremlin
[20:11] <TiberiusAudley> LET’S PLAY ON COAGULATION
[20:11] <super-entE> listen
[20:11] <SimonSaysBaka> Zardon hides
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> Instead of Flags, the enemy has your keys, you capture keys from your enemy
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> at the end of the game, you have 10 chests (cap win of 10)
[20:11] <super-entE> hunting the thief
[20:11] <BMLeo> will the chests buff your team?
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> winner with 10 can unlock all chests, while the loser can have only a maximum of 3
[20:11] <super-entE> htf
[20:11] <Firedogking> Sounds like Survivor!
[20:11] <TaylorFSS`home> your thoughts?
[20:12] <Firedogking> that sounds awesome
[20:12] <throwawayloki> i like it, but whats in the chests, random drops?
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> ya
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> master chests
[20:12] <Firedogking> ooh
[20:12] <DrWaffles> onice
[20:12] <throwawayloki> cool
[20:12] <TiberiusAudley> Hopefully Master Chests will be made worthwhile by then?
[20:12] <Firedogking> buff the drop potential lol
[20:12] <reload> and how would it be determined who gets what ;p
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> i think twisting existing fun games is what we can do well
[20:12] <super-entE> Master Keys so ?
[20:12] <Saveme> will the chest be in random areas or set areas?
[20:12] <Akuyazi> i can imagine farming
[20:12] <SimonSaysBaka> im out. like the rest of sweden…
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> lol
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> cya Simon
[20:12] <throwawayloki> and they would still be exclusive to players, so no shared loot on the chests?
[20:12] <Firedogking> LOL
[20:12] <SimonSaysBaka> bai
[20:12] <TaylorFSS`home> no throwawayloki, it would work the same as chests do now, but for your whole team
[20:12] <Akuyazi> how about 1 chest
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> well, we’ll see
[20:13] <Firedogking> so someone would pop a perfect group luck potion
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> 1 chest makes sense
[20:13] <Firedogking> and open some chests
[20:13] * TiberiusAudley would run back over to the enemy’s side if he lost, to get their chests.
[20:13] <Akuyazi> sorta like hall of heroes
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> maybe 2 chests for the winner, 1 for loser if they make it to 5
[20:13] <Akuyazi> from gw winner got a chest
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> hehe, ya but that held a sigil
[20:13] <Akuyazi> oh
———————
[20:13] <FunKed> are some of these changes going to impact on performance at all?
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> only in a good way FunKed
[20:13] <reload> team effort, should be a team reward
[20:13] <Firedogking> engine is bieng optimized.
[20:13] <reload> not all stuff going to one person
[20:13] <TaylorFSS`home> the performance of the game is actually improving with the Overworld
[20:13] <FunKed> excellent
[20:13] <FunKed>
[20:13] <TiberiusAudley> Going to move the log into a file to be trimmed…
[20:14] <TaylorFSS`home> it is reload, chests are always team-wide
[20:14] <throwawayloki> what are you guys doing for donations and the like?
[20:14] <reload> i see. okay.
[20:14] <BMLeo> anything for the suckers who got vista with their dx10 video cards ready
[20:14] <throwawayloki> and when can we plan to see them go into effect?
[20:14] <TaylorFSS`home> you mean donations like in Hellgate or donations like in GaiaOnline?
[20:14] <Firedogking> ignores bm.
[20:14] <Tekn0> dx10 has advantages beyond just graphics
[20:14] <Saveme> I still think Capture the Gremlin Works Each team will get 3 gremlin players and the opposing team must capture them to open some strange lock :p
[20:14] <Tekn0> Like people able to have 2 DX instances running
[20:14] <TaylorFSS`home> sorry BMLeo, while Hellgate is a performance game, with DX10, you won’t be seeing any DX10 features in Mythos
[20:14] <Tekn0> like a movie and a game
[20:14] <throwawayloki> i mean the “little bonuses” you guys have hinted about for donating like 5 dollars or soemthng
[20:14] <BMLeo> well atleast theres hellgate
[20:15] <TaylorFSS`home> ya hehe
[20:15] <Tekn0> FLA….. never mind
[20:15] <Tekn0> :\
[20:15] <TaylorFSS`home> DX10 is fantastic actually
[20:15] * drag0n has joined #mythos
[20:15] <Deathtiny> until you have to code it
[20:15] <TaylorFSS`home> just we’re not using it because Mythos is for a wide audience, and the amount of time and effort needed to supply 15% of the gaming industry with flashy graphics…. not worth it
[20:15] <Tekn0> It’ll be years before we see dx10 in all it’s glory anyway
[20:15] <throwawayloki> true
[20:15] <Tekn0> IIRC DX9 isn’t even being used 100%
[20:15] <Firedogking> yeah I have a nice pc that handles it well. Got Assassins creed.
[20:15] <TaylorFSS`home> it kinda is Tekn0
[20:15] <Ddr> Would a laptop w\ 2 gigs of ram running vista and onboard video be able to run the Overworld release?
[20:16] <Tekn0> kinda is:P
[20:16] <throwawayloki> yes
[20:16] <BMLeo> assassins creed is bs, doesn’t it require more than crysis?
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> Ddr, if you can run Mythos now, you can run the Overworld
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> yes BMLeo, but there’s a difference
[20:16] <Ddr> thanks
[20:16] <Tekn0> Taylor
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> Assassin’s creed was built for the 360
[20:16] <Tekn0> Can mythos support any intel onboard chips?
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> and when you optimize a game for one hardware spec, to move it to another it takes way more
[20:16] <throwawayloki> which is an awesome console
[20:16] <BMLeo> Isn’t 360 really easy to port for?
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> kinda
[20:16] <Ddr> Tekn0, i use intel onboard chips
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> there’s still a lot of work
[20:16] <throwawayloki> no, its easy to port TO
[20:16] <Firedogking> But at least the 360 is lower spec then the average dual coar machine now
[20:16] <TaylorFSS`home> but Assassin’s Creed also runs at 60fps while Crysis does not
[20:16] <Tekn0> Can you run mythos?
[20:17] <BMLeo> I mean since it uses DX9
[20:17] <Peronthious> the framework if very similar to a PC
[20:17] <Peronthious> is*
[20:17] <TaylorFSS`home> Firedogking, 360 is a tri-core
[20:17] <Ddr> yes, i have shading issues sometimes
[20:17] <Firedogking> yes but we got quad coresand tri cores
[20:17] <Ddr> and the floor disappears but other than that it’s fine mostly
[20:17] <Firedogking> and 3dcards with more ram
[20:17] <throwawayloki> lol none of you can complain about graphics problems, cause i bet mine beats yours
[20:17] <Peronthious> assassin’s Creed needs all that RAM because it caches the whole damn area onto the RAM before it runs
[20:17] <Tekn0> Ah i’m aware of that problem
[20:17] <TaylorFSS`home> Mythos is meant to run on a video card, not so much embeded graphics
[20:17] <BMLeo> I got a phenom instead of a q6600 and now im contemplating suicide
[20:17] <Hexyl> is there any intention of adding more classes than the existing 3?
[20:17] <Tekn0> My old radeon 9800 had that issue
[20:17] * super-entE has quit IRC (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.82 [Firefox 2.0.0.13/2008031114])
[20:17] <TaylorFSS`home> AMD and Nvidia cards to be precise
[20:17] <Peronthious> and the areas are about 1.5 GB
[20:17] <Tekn0> You should get like.. a radeon 2400 Pro DDR
[20:17] <reload> well
[20:17] <TaylorFSS`home> we have every intention on adding more classes, I don’t think we’ll ever stop adding to Mythos.
[20:18] <reload> mythos just hates my PC then
[20:18] <Tekn0> They are only around $40
[20:18] <Ddr> i’mnot sure if i hav ea pci express slot
[20:18] <Tekn0> and you’d get a lot better performance
[20:18] <Tekn0> Oh
[20:18] <Tekn0> wenn
[20:18] <Firedogking> I just want a zon like class ! we need to see people using bows!
[20:18] <TaylorFSS`home> even a PCI Nvidia 6600 isn’t that bad
[20:18] <Tekn0> even if you can find a cheap AGP card on clearance
[20:18] <reload> i have nVida 8800GT, and i get ping spikes every time i use any kind of attack anywhere.
[20:18] <BMLeo> Age of Conan lets you play topless and chop off heads, what does Mythos offer in this field of heads and nudity
[20:18] <reload> been unable to resolve the issue.
[20:18] <Tekn0> Nothing
[20:18] <throwawayloki> i have an onboard SiS 760
[20:18] <Firedogking> thats not the point of mythos
[20:18] <TaylorFSS`home> While we don’t have any nudity planned
[20:18] <TaylorFSS`home> Zivia isn’t wearing any clothes
[20:18] <throwawayloki> thats why my computer fails
[20:18] <Tekn0> We don’t care about 12 years olds wanting to pretend to be mature
[20:19] <Saveme> Violence is the worst gimmic to use to attract audiences imo
[20:19] <Firedogking> ITs about uber fun and massive loot droppage
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> as for blood and gore, Mythos has more blood than Hellgate currently but that’s changing on Hellgate’s side
[20:19] <Deathtiny> mythos adds fun .. what does AoC do in that field ?
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> this isn’t about AoC
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> and for the record, I like AoC
[20:19] <BMLeo> I like my options available
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> it just has its bugs like all beta games
[20:19] <throwawayloki> i agree
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> BMLeo, rest assured though
[20:19] <Tekn0> pfft
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> Mythos doesn’t need to get an ESRB rating
[20:19] <Tekn0> Mythos doesn’t have any bugs
[20:19] <Tekn0> 
[20:19] <TaylorFSS`home> since it is a free to downoad and play game, and not boxed, we never have to go through any ratings board
[20:19] <Firedogking> I am just disappointed the ydidn’t test dx10 in AOC smartly.. But Myhos is all I need
