    Any chance of that rumoured Jester flavour rewrite coming to pass?
  • NicolaNicola
    @Calira There's definitely a chance, likely not in the immediate future.

    ... What happened to "cherished and protected at all costs"??

    When the Garden are creating/designing minipets, mounts and so on, are there very specific guidelines you follow in terms of things like overall level and how it corresponds to rankings (war horse, legendary, etc.), whether it can fly or not (e.g. the minipet winged lizards can fly, but the minipet snowy owl can't), and so on? Or is it a more fluid process that involves a bit of "eyeballing" in the creation?

    And who usually designs new mounts or comes up with ideas for new mounts? Is there someone (or multiple someones) in the Garden who likes doing that sort of creature creation in particular?

    @Sarathai Certain things are the same for minipets and mounts, there is some eyeballing but we aim for consistency.

    Ideasing is a bit of a group effort when we have the time for it to be so, otherwise it's whoever has free hands/the time to get the work done. No one is exempt!
  • NicolaNicola
    @Sarathai For vindictiveness I love the Enheduanna and Han-Silnar battle figurines. I do think the Taraus one is the most perfect.

    Very important question for the future of achaea.

    Do you put pineapples on your pizza?

    Does that come with a special full honors line?

    @Zulah not at this time!

    It's time for these producers to get some sleep. Keep posting your questions, we'll catch them all up in the morning!

    Are one of you lovely people going to make my week one of these days, or will I get to celebrate my third anniversary with idea 49?
    Huh. Neat.

    As a follow-up to Jinsun's inquiry, mind if I ask why we can't sell drugs in our House estates? Because the Vanguard aren't the only Ashtani House intensely interested in this. The Savants want to get our Hounds of Tindalos on. :grin:

    How does the coding team balance/prioritise bug fixes vs improving/finishing existing released systems vs developing new systems?

    @Datrius Too variable to tell with elder dragon. Makarios can probably get you a snapshot of today sometime later. Class spread numbers were put up a week or so ago, if I recall correctly.

    @Ahmet Unlikely.

    @Armali I was unaware that they'd gone. I'll take a look today and see what I can do.

    @Reiloch Drug use, when a niche concept, is edgy and adds a layer of interesting desperation to characters (short supply enhances this further.) Giving you all whatever substances you like just makes it the norm and then it is commonplace and barely used. Kortoxian and short supply of various nefarious substances support the former aspect, giving you all gleam or bliss creates the latter.

    @Antonius There is something of a schedule, but this is incredibly flexible dependent on the timeframe within which new projects/existing systems are needed. (The RP and coding team often work together to create a schedule by which everything must be done so fun things can happen.)

    This comes down to a variety of things. The key things are probably deadlines and bug severety. Everyone tries to get bugs down in their free time between projects, and we have dedicated bug fixing days.

    @Makarios @Nicola Just for laughs, what do you guys think of my traditional siege warfare strategy for attacking Targossas?

    @Datrius
    At a glance, while I appreciate the enthusiasm, you have not accounted for the utter hatred and racism that goes on between the denizen factions. Asking for Riparium, Ulangi, and the Atavians to muster in one cohesive force to take down a city none of them care a whit about is beyond optimistic.
  • DatriusDatrius
    Hmmmm true. I didn't think I needed to take that into account...time to think more. Though this is all for an assignment and will never actually happen.
