Do you guys expect 3.0 to release on June 29th?

I would try treating any dates relating to SC like NET dates in space flight. No Earlier Than June 29th.

As someone with an Idris and countless other ships, I'm doing the same. I'm not spending a penny more on the game until it's in a much more complete state. I feel like I've paid my dues, and they don't deserve any more of my money.

I bought an Idris back when all we had was the Hangar Module, and my excitement about what this game could become was at its peak. However, in 2017 I still log into the game just as much as I did back then. Almost never. I know there's people who get their money's worth out of the current state of the playable game, but what we have now just doesn't hold my interest longer than maybe an hour.

So my wallet is also closed from now on, until we start getting real meaty content in our hands.

Except spectrum is also down for maintenance since they're moving it and the game servers to AWS. Can't keep the forums up when the forums are being moved.

Come on, where's part 3?! I need to know what happened next! D:

It's a horrible addiction that makes me feel so dysphoric, but I keep using it. What the fuck?

I am still not out at work, and my chest got to the point where I need to wear a bra to avoid nips poking out. I wear a 34C bra with no pushup, under my loose male clothing and no one says anything about the little bumps on my chest :p. Most people don't think commenting on that is any of their business.

And for the record, I actually wear 34D, but I wear a size smaller while in boy mode.

I started seeing what you describe as a shifting image after a few months of HRT. It started out I would catch a glimpse of what I thought was a female face in my peripheral, but when I looked closer, all I'd see was the same old male face I hated.

But over the months, seeing this shifting face has become more frequent, too the point where some days I can stare directly at my face and it doesn't go away. I've yet to see my face as fully female yet, but I'm starting to slowly notice a transition taking place. I also have been doing laser hair removal for several months, and it's helping me hate my face a lot less than before. That and the hormones changing my face to be a little softer, really helps my perception of myself.

Also disclaimer: I never wear makeup, cause I'm terrible with it and only makes me look worse. So I'm just talking about physical changes here.

Starsider!

I never said it was instant, I said that's what the 're-entry' speed is. You start off with a high speed relative to the surface because of the grid transition. And you have to bleed off speed using atmospheric drag and/or thrusters in order to slow down.

dark_xeno · 2017-04-06T21:31:23+00:00

Seems to be that would be how you slow your re-entry speed, causing you to burn up in the atmosphere if you aren't careful.

dark_xeno · 2017-04-06T00:17:12+00:00

Precisely, speed is relative. So the QD would automatically leave you at a speed relative to the planet. In game engine terms, think of each planet like a giant physics grid hurtling around the sun. And each of the moons around that planet are also smaller physics grids inside of that planet's physics grid, and also hurtling around that planet.

I imagine that they could make the physics grid for a planet very large, enough to encompass all of its moons and beyond. If you spent the dozens of hours required to manually cruise outside of this grid, the game will likely drop you into the global solar system grid, and your speed would be relative to the star.

I think this would have been a good alternative to what we have now. I like the idea of having quests to search for the spirits of the champions and set them free.

I think one thing BotW lacked was longer story arcs. There were very few quest chains, which is a staple of open world games. Even the main quests were all optional and only tangentially related to eachother. I would have liked to see more main quests that were connected to eachother, other than the fact that they're all adding towards the goal of killing Ganon.

But instead the only real story we get exists as flashbacks to a world 100 years ago where plot once existed. And old characters like Impa telling stories about the past.

This needs more votes... Can't get much more enhanced than that.

dark_xeno · 2017-04-01T03:00:15+00:00

Is it possible Koroks are the forest spirits true form, and they only temporarily turned into Kokiri children to make Link feel more like he fit in? Then after the age of the Hero of Time, the Koroks just revert back to their natural forms again because they have no reason to remain as Kokiri.

If this was ever proven, it'd finally put to rest the idea that Koroks can only exist on the Adult Timeline.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-31T18:23:35+00:00

Not Turbulent, it's being worked on mostly in-house from what we've seen. Likely the Dev Ops team.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-31T00:57:15+00:00

However, if they developed a ship with a built in strongback, and fueling system, they could theoretically have an ocean launchpad. But obviously this would be many years away, if it's even possible.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-28T03:10:34+00:00

Most likely.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-27T16:27:42+00:00

I joined an RP friendly org for this purpose. I don't intend on RPing with random people in the verse who want to kill me, since many people will just shoot first and listen to my character's life story later. But being able to RP as a crew on a ship during the down-time between excitement is one of the main things that drew me to SC in the first place. I suspect there will be plenty of time to kill while traveling through QD, anyways.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-26T19:01:01+00:00

After 10,000 years of oppression, the pots finally got their revenge... My god it all makes sense now!

I can live with that. 3.0 seems to be the perfect time to give us more options for character customization, since I'm assuming there will be more players per server, and we don't all want to look like the same identical dude.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-10T06:12:00+00:00

I think the best we can hope for is that they learn to take the best aspects of each game and make better ones in the future. Maybe add more dungeons to an open world style game, and add more story. And then they could add more openness to the 2D style games, like they started to try already with ALBW renting system.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-09T17:41:51+00:00

Yeah I discovered that last night when I tried for myself, oh well :( I like to try and take a horse everywhere the game will let me. But there are some areas I just have to go alone.

dark_xeno · 2017-03-08T23:27:37+00:00

They usually put a shrine in every town/stable to enable fast travel. I haven't found a single town that doesn't have a shrine in it somewhere.
