Closing GetSatisfaction

Unfortunately, due to our funding we'll be unable to close the show with the likes of the magnificent Spice Girls (say what you want, what you really really want!) so this blog post will need to suffice.

We’re closing our GetSatisifaction bug reporting.  Please don’t post issues there and instead   email us direction at feedback@musegames.com.

Don’t forget to include your output_log.txt file that GoIO will generate each time you open and close the game.  To ensure the best results, send (or save in a separate location) your log files immediately after your crash or bug occurs.  The file is overwritten each time you open the game.

Your log file will be located in your Steam install directory under “steampapps\common\guns of icarus online\GunsOfIcarusOnline_Data“.

Another tip is if you have a way that reliably reproduces the bug (repro case), please walk us through your steps to reproduce said bug.  It will immediately help us in our bug squashing attempts.

Thanks!


About Boarding…

Am I doing this right?

All of our seasoned players from beta already understand this since they’ve had a lot of time to sit down, play the game, and let everything marinate in their brains. For our new players (welcome and thank you for your support!), I’m sure y’all are asking for a boarding feature 🙂

Sandy relief and weekly update

Nightingale Cap
Dr. Scnnabel Mask

Hurricane Sandy hurt a lot of people and we tried our hardest to find a way to help those affected. We made two items over the weekend where all the proceeds will go help those suffering.  While we are still trying to regroup after Sandy, we ended up very lucky. Our office may still not have internet, but we still have our homes and our lives and we want to do everything we can to help those who weren’t so lucky. Howard volunteered at The Rockaways in New York which was hit very hard and we’re hoping the proceeds from the new item will help alleviate some of the suffering people are going through.

As we regroup from launch our main focus is lots of planning, organizing, prioritizing feature lists and optimizing to get ready for new content.

Free Halloween gifts!

Happy Halloween everyone!  We wanted to celebrate by giving everyone a free mask so they can trick or treat while they fly and plunder.  The two masks are The Red Death for the guys and The Demoness for the ladies.

The Red Death

This mask grants the wearer a fearsome countenance, reminiscent of
that dread specter, the terror of which strikes deep the heart of
mortal man. On All Hallow’s Eve death walks among us, raining fire
from the skies.

The Demoness

She is a legend, invincible in combat. When captains who have run
afoul of her guns sit in smokey taverns and share their scars, some of
them swear she’s not quite human. They saw her laughing face as they
went down, they say, and she had horns, horns like a demon from hell.

It is very important to note that the free masks will not just appear in your inventory automatically. To get them simply go into the in-game shop, find them under goggles and “buy” them for $0.

Available for one week only! So claim your masks before November 7th!
