Yeah...I checked his post history and seriously have no idea what the heck he's going on about.

Jumping on the Haterade train

Seriously if that location is correct shes Australian. Have you people not played with Australians? You are surprised she told you EXACTLY what she thought, whether it offended you or not.

Dont play TOR on the Harbinger then. Your heads would explode.

Seriously Arulius who cares.... one acklay that is lootable is one too many and Vlada has admitted it shouldn't have happened, policy was changed and no need to kiss butt anymore. In fact one of your guild members along with a couple other people cornered the Acklay for enough months I'm sure it's not a buig issue to your guild but many people have no chance at bones.

Whether it was 50 acklays or 500 acklays, 99% of the community never has a chance to even loot one acklay or get the bones themselves so it should have never happened. This whole analyzing 1,2, or 3 months worth is stupid because there never should have been ANY...they have admitted that and owned up.

As far as people saying they don't owe us anything and they help the project blah blah blah Do I need to remind people that many of us don't have blue, purple, or other pretty colors or titles but help as much as many of them so they did owe an apology given it's a COMMUNITY PROJECT.

With that said, it's over and let's move on with no private crap again :)

Anger management? LOL really? If she was paid I might tend to agree with you. She twisted off in defense of her friend. But in typical forum fashion it was "too aggressive" "mean spirited" "Trollish" all the lovely buzz words people love to use when they get "offended" You have 7 posts. You seriously got cross with her in 7 posts?

If something happened and you feel you were a contributing factor, then you've already done everything you can to rectify the matter by updating the *system* that was responsible for the issue. Please do not resign. We need you. We appreciate you and your hard work.

Yup, been playing for a week and a half, and I can already see from the countless forum posts I have read that Vlada is a huge boon for this endeavor. Would be a real shame for him to leave do to something that has happend in ALPHA stage. Only way I think he should go, is if he is just ready to take a break from it for a while. I could understand that, as being the focus of constant internet abuse and accusations is not a fun way to enjoy your job getting paid, much less when you are not getting paid. Just shows how ungratefull some individuals are and The "universe revolves around me" mindset they are in. This game is best known for its community, I would like to help keep it that way.

When you guys bring something positive to this project get back to me. I have spent my fair share testing and reporting bugs when we had no playable server to play on. I also spend my time showing these newer people that we do in fact have positive community members and not all people are like you guys...trolls. It must suck to have so much negativity in your lives that it spills over into a Star Wars game because that is the only nostalgia you ever get. It's kind of pathetic to say the least. I might be a non factor in your trollish eyes, but that is hard for me to see due to the fact your mom's basement windows are blacked out because you can't take a little sunshine.

we are all human and we all make mistakes, none of the mistakes made should result in anyone resigning, or quitting or stepping down or any such thing. Vlada, your contributions to this project are completely obvious even to the newest of players and perhaps if you were actually at the event, then some blame would splash your way however you were not, so no blame should be yours to "own"

stay put, Vlada, indeed we need you

i do admire straight shootin personalities, however they are prone to shootin themselves in the foot more than i care to admit........

the issue was resolved by changing the policy and proceedures, and those who needed to did own up..........so lets let it go and get the servers back up

we all love to play the game, its the single thing we all have in common.....

May The Force Be With Us All.........

I mean the guy has singlehandedly blocked CH development for years.
Oh, this is a great conspiracy theory! And a much better explanation for the missing CH than the fact that the AI hasn't been coded in yet. Thanks :D

This project is a great team effort and Vlada is an integral part of it's success. Mistakes always happen, and as he is such a good team player, we all have to take responsibility for this matter. Thus if he would want to resign cause of this, we all should as well!

Always moving forward....

Devs and QA have made it possible for EC's to use certain mobs for events. As a result, this will require more changes to the event guidelines.

The mobs for events will have no loot, no xp, no resources to harvest, and no credits. They can also be easily identified by targeting or viewing the combat log.

That list is only current staff. In fact many more than that are actively involved.

I can count over 25 different people who have submitted patches in the last few months.

Another 60+ have submitted tickets to Mantis in that same time frame.

Count in the CT's and Nova regulars and we are looking at well over 100 people that can be counted as having a direct effect on the recent development progress.

But then there is the stress testing from the players on Bas... that has been priceless. So add that number to the mix and you get...

Everyone.

I'm generally the type to just sit and watch how things will unfold, but I honestly think that there absolutely no reason for you to step down. Small pot holes like this come up all the time, and instead of waiting for it to happen again, you did your best to prevent it from happening again by writing this first draft. This project and community needs you.

Yeah, I saw you pop in n that other thread and was like, oh **** BE is back because of this...you all are screwed. Welcome back bud. I am glad that Vlada has heard the cries of the masses that he remain. I know it only says that I joined in 2012, but I have been following this project from the exiled forums since 2006. The fact that at least 7 years of our lives has been dedicated to this game we loved. The coders, qa, moderators, developers....everyone who plays contributes to the game and its evolution. This is one of those evolutionary hiccups. Let it go at this point. Esme, your pound of flesh has been taken. Be satisfied.
ON a different note, I would like to address the event rule that says they cannot spawn mobs that can be killed. Is that a coding issue or just a decision. I ask this because of an event we have been planning near quahog that we planned on having grauls spawned for. We will of course fill out the application and discuss it, but I would like a discussion on killable mobs if the code can be made that they are not harvestable or lootable. This part:

item or cash rewards (unless supplied by the requester)

2. For these kind of event we cannot:

Spawn attachable MOB's or NPC's
Buff or resurrect participants
Teleport participants
Stop other players or guilds from participating

3. For these kind of event we can:
Spawn objects and none attackable NPC's and MOB's
Send system messages
Keep order
4. Player Requested PvP guidelines can be found here.

Staff sponsored events:

1. Need to be announced in advance
2. Announcement posted on our forums, Facebook page, G+ page and twitter
3. Everyone is welcome to attend

If you look at the weekly update (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96903)i posted, you will see that there have been added event mobs. They do not drop any thing, no xp and are there just for making events happen. Only high end mobs so far, but more will be added in the future.

So *THIS* is why I didn't get accepted. I tried to join as an intern, saying I wanted to be an Event Coordinator in-game, but I got an answer from Vlada saying I was denied. No details other than I didn't quite fit with their mold. I don't know about any rules for re-applying, however...

But I still must ask: why no spawning attackable NPCs?! I mean, loot and XP rewards might have something to do with it, but I can't imagine a responsible EC abusing this, nor any of the participants, for that matter. Maybe it's because if the one enemy dropped something shiny and there were lots of players there, they'd all fight each other over the shiny reward? Other than that, I just don't get it! :\ And if I unwittingly answered my own question, phooey to me!

I haven't read this string, just the OP. In case nobody pointed it out in the previous 22 pages... It's a test server. A problem was identified, it was fixed in a timely manner. I chalk it up to the "oops" factor. That's why it's called a test server. Life goes on. Thanks for everything you do. Now... Game ON!

(/me puts on his sock puppet and looks it dead in the eye...) Ok, I just double checked. Yep... It IS, in fact, a test server. Also... The planet is still spinning, and there is life outside of this forum. (sock puppet sighs) I just thought that in case the drama had gotten THAT nutty, that a little reality check was in order. Test. Server. Right? (sock puppet nods slowly, clearly ashamed of itself... "Right Boss...")

RIGHT?
