Great! Thanks for the help, much appreciated. All The Best

I copied all the files over to the new HD, the launcher / login process works fine, but then it doesn't seem to be able to find the game files to run the game. :( I can use Arc to install tehn delete it? I don't have to login through Arc? Many thanks All The Best

So the lists are even more broken than before they were "fixed". Teleporters still aren't fixed, and reviews are enabled. Really Crytpic, why should we authors even bother making an effort when it is abundantly clear that you are not making any effort at all to get things right? All The Best

Just logged in to my quest A Missing Man (NW-DIVDJMFXJ). Had a "bad" review, that pointed out my teleporter was broken. Went in to Foundry and found that the teleporter was in fact still broken. Have fixed, because Cryptic clearly hadn't bothered. All The Best

I stopped doing review trades because its somewhat artistically incestuous. There's an implication of "you give me a good review, I'll give you one". Which is precisely why I signed up over at Scribe's Enclave. The Author is the only person who should be able to designate the Tags for his/her quest. He/She is the only…

No rollback. Someone else, over in General, explained it better than I could: All The Best

Quote from Sominator in the 25+ page thread in General states quite clearly: No rollback. All The Best

Agree with this. Have to say I think it totally stupid that Tags are applied by players. I publish a new quest. No tags. Because its got no tags no one will play it. And until it is played it won't get tags. Yeah, that's clever thinking from the Foundry Dev Team... ...not. This doesn't make it easier to get quests played,…

The news story mentions nothing about us continuing to report. In fact it almost reads like they want us to stop reporting and leave it to them to sort out. Which is ironic, because it was doing that that led to the necessity of this thread in the first place. All The Best

Erm, really? Cryptic are offering a dynamic product, across every global time-zone and on every continent. If they haven't already got 24/7 Customer Service, and Dev cover in place then they are failing to deliver even the minimum standard of service required for the product they are offering. But, most important of all,…

Did that in Part 3 of my campaign, except the "river" is actually a river, and waterfall, of lava. All The Best

Well the way to accurately test this would be to select a list of assets, apply that exact list of assets and objectives to all the different maps and then test publish them, see if it does make a difference. All The Best

Oh its not necessary to me either. In fact its so not necessary I haven't even though about logging in for close to 48 hours. But that doesn't change poor service to good service. Some of us have standards, and principles. All The Best

Would you go a week without water if the water company were planning another major job halfway across town in a week's time, and assume they'd fix your issue then? Never really understood why people accept poor quality service from software providers that they'd never accept from the provider of their car, water,…

In the advanced costume editor settings there is a scale/size slider. Then there's the large mobs like Ogre Savage, Shocktroop Devil, Thoon Hulk, Plaguechaned Maw, Magma Brute and Hulk that all start off as large mobs. All The Best

Why? Its a great place to work. If that "error" had been beyond my control I would not have faced any disciplinary action, or if it would have taken hours to rectify I would have been given enough leeway to facilitate that. My boss is very hands-on. Never asks us to do something that she isn't prepared to do herself. Flip…

A week?!?!?!? You have got to be joking! I work in customer service. If I had made a mistake (I wanted to use a colloquial term that is a joining of the 4 letter word for a male chicken and -up) of this proportion, affecting so many people, that could be fixed by taking 5 minutes out to edit a list, I would have - at best…

After seeing this fiasco start to unfold last week I have totally avoided the game, the foundry and even the forums. My thoughts were that this is so clearly a mistake that it would be resolved ASAP. I was, it seems, wrong. Just logged in to the Foundry to see how badly I am affected; luckily not too bad, between my 3…

I agree with Eldarth. Scribe's Enclave can be very helpful in getting a quest polished enough to be put out there for the world to have a play at. I'm currently previewing / reviewing a quest for the 4th, maybe 5th time. Each time I do so I send the Author a PM with any issues I found, any thing I think may just make…

Totally 100% behind this idea. You are right it is mainly about perception, and the current perception is that "Super Chest" loot is totally rubbish and underwhelming. Shifting even 25% of loot to the Super Chest would change that perception completely. Really like the idea of linked-encounter-loot. Allowing authors…

I'm also currently playing The Secret World. Got the music turned right off. Game has had me literally jump out of my chair three or four times. It manages that by amazingly crafted environments (probably the best in any game I have ever played) and simply amazing use of ambient sounds, and small bursts of dialogue /…

Erm, ok, right. A lady on the interwebz thought about me while playing in the hay!!!! Not sure whether to be flattered, embarrassed or scared. LOL :D All The Best
-
Kind of. I played about with a bit and got something I was happy with. As its only one room, a cave added in to an extension to the big tomb from part 3 of my campaign, it didn't need to be 100% perfect, even more so as the room really is only a "pass through" rather than a major quest area. It did affect the lighting…

Or you could go even more ancient / primitive and use a fire-pouch; used from the neolithic period in the "old world" right through to just a few hundred years ago in the new world. A leather pouch with a very slow "burning" (smouldering really) fungus in it. The fungus is lit, then partially starved of oxygen so it can…

Queue Times = Epic Fail Again. Really Cryptic, you don't even try to help yourselves do you? All The Best

LOL Very true. In some ways I've been very fortunate in life; I'm 43 years old but have had working access to farm technology going back hundreds of years (I've scythed hay with a long-scythe and hand made many a corn sheaf for example), I've worked in construction so know how buildings go together, and by training I'm an…

Could be a while. I'm pretty much done with the Foundry until after the Patch later this month. Apart from logging in today to do a review over at Scribe's I've not logged in to the game for close to a week. I think I managed three and half weeks at 75ish hours a week for An Ancient Curse. That kind of engagement is not…

As regards the music thing. How many of us have some "background music" playing when we take the dog for a walk, take the kids to school, are walking down the street? I'm not talking from an iPod or such. I'm talking how much music does the "world" play in those places? Answer: None. I'm a big believer that if you have to…

LOL I wish I could say I didn't need any more tips. These people sitting on 1,000,000 + AD clearly have it too good - lol. For the record I'm on 48K, trying to get enough to trade for Zen to unlock more character slots. All The Best
