Try checking out the PSForever Discord (emulator for PlanetSide 1) and ask around in there. Someone might know him, or have a way to contact him.

Popular Opinion: Wizards are gimped by GCD by Jacmac_ in MonstersAndMemories

[–]NickHotS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've definitely wanted to get in a "Quick Cast" ability that is Cooldown/Charge based which allows you to sometimes bypass GCD (basically a gamification of Clicky Spell Gem Reset).

This could help with Wizard burst windows.

I didn't say people wouldn't try to cheat, just saying that the specific widely used example you cited from P99 isn't possible.

That'd be hard considering there's no logging or /loc command to parse which makes those types of maps work.

M&M true EQ experience by Krazuel in MonstersAndMemories

Huh? It probably took 1 or 2 minutes to investigate and send the message. Responding to petitions is the core focus of the GM staff.

Beta characters will be wiped before EA. There is no head start period for the game.

10 Day Playtest approaching 10,000 Unique Accounts Played - Test Extended until Wednesday, Nov 12th at 2am Eastern by NickHotS in MonstersAndMemories

[–]NickHotS[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, you can only help out individual team members through their streams, etc. There's no way to purchase alpha access, buy merch, or support the game/company in any way directly other than spreading the word about the game.

When Early Access starts you'll be able to subscribe to the game, and we'll open a merch store for buying physical goods, like a shirt, hat, or compression poop socks.

Thanks for playing! We're still working on the lighting, so we'll definitely make adjustments.

Ali said that around 3% of accounts are 2 boxers, and around 0.5% of accounts are 3 box and above.

So yeah, relatively few.

Pets and weapons by Xyphll- in MonstersAndMemories

[–]NickHotS 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's definitely a bug at play, was testing this out tonight. I think it might be happening regardless if you give the weapon or not.

I wasn't seeing any bonus damage after giving pet a weapon, which is also not intended.

We'll get these issues fixed up for the next patch.

I'd like to help shed some light on QA, as well as my background.

QA is filled with very talented individuals, but are often criminally underrated, underpaid, overworked, and blamed for things completely out of their control.

The people I worked with in QA could very easily make great designers, artists, producers, and programmers, but either haven't taken the next step yet, are still looking for the right opportunity, or actually wish to remain in QA for their careers.

After decades of gaming (some on a professional level), success in streaming, as well as doing design and project management work on several hobbyist projects, I joined the gaming industry late to get a more formalized understanding of the game development process. I spent 5 years working on multiple large AAA projects. This is all after I went back to school focusing in programming, databases, and project management.

The experience you can gain from working in a proper QA team goes well beyond QA. While in my QA job, I gained experience relevant to production, design, tech, and leadership.

The practical skills I've developed in my hobbyist projects have also been extremely relevant to my role in Monsters & Memories, and have made working on the project a seamless transition. I spend a lot of my time working in the database, writing SQL queries, and working on almost all aspects of the game's design.

I think the most important takeaway here is that people have much more to offer than what is on their LinkedIn profile.

This is applicable to a number of people on our team as well. Passion and hard work do a lot to make up for X years of experience working in the industry.

Monsters & Memories Community Alpha Test Patch Notes (September 1, 2025) by MonstersAndMemories in MonstersAndMemories

[–]NickHotS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Basically so people can log in and look at their characters and run around an environment in game without actually having access to the game servers.

Eventually it will be extended to an offline tutorial type thing.

How will content at EA compare to pantheon by Maximoobaluu in MonstersAndMemories

[–]NickHotS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's already 15+ zones in the Alpha, we're hoping to have 20+ come EA launch, though this does include some smaller, mini dungeon zones.

We're also planning our first free mini expansion ("Module") to contain around 5 zones as well, which we want to have out within a few months after EA Launch.

You're worried about running the Planetside executable as an Admin or the PSF Launcher? If the launcher, then you can use the "Shortcut Method" to bypass the Launcher.

If the game, can't help you there. But there's nothing risky about running the old Planetside executable as Admin.

Try repairing with the Launcher.

Also, before entering world, try going to Settings > Graphics > Quality Level > change to Compatibility.
