This makes me wish I was a part of BETA.... what the heck happened in the Rutabaga-War!?!?!.... The people must know :P
It started with a discussion about adventure mode, world-building and fast-travel. In the end we agreed upon that the real backstory to GoIO was that giant flying rutabagas had taken over the world. It then established itself as some kind of "meme" on the early forum. One of my fondest memories from the old days :D
I'm afraid its too late. Flying Rutabagas have already been spotted over the city of Minneapolis...

Didn't they change it from a hammer to a... thing... right at the end of the beta, switch it back to a hammer a few days later, switch it back to a... thing... later on, and then switch it back to a hammer again?
-
i remember being asked every single day was i blk (yes i am gotta problem?)

-
remember when it was dam near impossible to get up ladders
The Spire's ladder was the worst. Jumping down would get you stuck too. An absolute nightmare for engineers rushing to the hull.

So are we going to do this again when we are in the adventure mode beta/alpha?

-
Remember when ppl actually cared about bounties
-
Remember when there were no levels, so you didn't always know what you were getting into with most players.
Remember when there were hardly any Russians.
Remember when Sebi posted those awesome YouTube videos, and pretty much created the art of Squid engineering (if you haven't seen them, LOOK THEM UP NOW. SpaceSebi is the channel name)
Remember when the two fire tools were the extinguisher, which put out a bit of fire and had no cooldown, and the tarp, which put fire out completely and had a cooldown. Because of repair tools negating the tarp's cooldown, nobody in their right mind used the extinguisher.
-
Remember all the hype for the Spire?
-
Remember how Muse originally planned for the Spire to be called the Tower, and how it was going to have two light guns and one heavy gun on the front. The double merc Pyra made Muse change their minds.

Remember when there was no menu music?

Remember when the Hwacha was released and it was completely useless.

oh, uhh, it was... chaotic... and... urm... turbulent... where a certain man of ranked cuttlery played a considerable role. Quite considerable if I may say so.
I'm sorry for not bringing up more details now, but yeah, let's just say that it started out as a simple match... and ended in something much more chaotic. Throughout the torney, much more...
I'll have to tell you the longer story sometime.
-
Otherwise know as the Resistible rise and irresistible fall of Sgt. Spoon

Do tell haven't heard much about it

See, MasX agrees. That's two votes.
At what point does this petition become long enough that Sgt. Spoon is legally obligated to talk about it?
(Spoon, I'll gain even more respect for you if you remember what I'm quoting)
-

Always good to hear stories from guys that been playing longer then me not to many out there

Remember when you could rebuild components with the fire extinguisher.
Remember when Qwerty's team finished second in Thunderdunes.
Remember when I was some idiot who always got yelled at (AHEM MasX and Roy)
Remember when there were three matches up at the best of times.
Remember when everything was made slower and the game became less fun.

Don't remember yelling at you
-
It was a long time ago, just before the beta ended. You were mostly complaining about how you wished Memory was on your crew.
-

Bing paired up with the Baron's best 'n all. Since I handled the sign-ups and teams back then, I think I was the one that paired him with Queso... or it was on account of scramblings with no-shows...
Remember when everything was made slower and the game became less fun.
Remember when you could swich ammo on the fly without reloads? the gunning was way more dynamic back then ...though heavily exploitable...

Use whatever rounds you want - wait until one shot is left - switch to heavy duty springs - reload - switch back to whatever you want.
-
Reload spring = Best invention of all time
-
I miss the reload spring and the ammo box.
Imagine ammo-boxed hwatchas.

I find it quite interesting that you thought i was using a voice changer, I must have done some great voices to give you that impression :P
( Also, does voice changers have the ability to change accent? Never heard of it)

You weren't? My life was a lie...
-
Correction your life IS a lie
-
Remember when carronade's shredded a ship's hull like it was paper.
Remember when there were no ranks so you feared the ship's name and not a number.
Remember when you were getting trashed in the dunes because you were still stuck loading the game.
And may the Repair Kit forever rest in peace...

Once again for Fjords players...
Remember Sandy Mandy XD

Ugly Betty days where the best ress

Remember when it wasn't the Pyramidion that would strike fear in people's hearts. Nor was it the howitzer. It wasn't the Quick Join button, or the thought of having a Russian crew that didn't speak English. No, it was something far, far worse than that.
The missing helm glitch.

At least it gave some credibility to having no pilot, since half the time your captain wouldn't be able to fly the ship and somebody else would take over...

Remember when at the start of the match the wind would rush by your ears as you plummeted into an endless nothingness, and then onto your ship

Lol, some things can't be forgotten.
I don't know about you guys, but in some ways I miss falling down to the sand and being able to run around with the others after dying.

Remember when the howitzer was so OP that it took this to nerf it... And it was still a viable gun.
Field Gun has a decreased turn speed, rate of fire, turn radius, as well as an increased reload time and slight drop.
And that was before a subsequent nerf to its damage and drop.
Nothing has been done to even slightly reverse those changes since. Therefore the current merc is a result of massive amount of nerfing.
So next time somebody complains about that gun, I'd just like to say:
We all have it easy right now.

All them howitzer nerfs, they did wonders, and yet today they stand as a rather effective weapon.

Remember when the Junker was useless in every way imaginable (it was the essentially like what the Spire is now).
Remember when you logged on and there were too few people online to even start a game.
Remember when buffing was a bad thing.
Remember when a flak fish could dismantle a Pyramidion in a 1v1.
Remember when nobody used gatflak. Hell, the Gatling was utterly awful.
Remember how OP the lumber was before the arming time was introduced.
Remember how Canyon seemed like a maze when it was released (lol).
Some of those aren't beta, but they certainly are worth remembering.
-
Remember when there was no one to teach anyone anything and you had to figure things out by scratch.
-
Yeah, only way to learn was to play against stacked teams made up of Firestone, Lambert, MasX and such.
-
Maybe for you, I was part of that group way in the beginning that had to basically learn the game because there was no one before us :/
-
I remember when I first encountered Dr. Spaceman my crewmate Verselies said, "Watch out, that guy rams." But we were in the heat of battle, and I thought she said "raps." I was like "He raps? That's awesome!" Then we got rammed and died lol.

Necro time!
Only a select few players will remember the time when Conrad from Muse single-handedly saved the launch during Hurricane Sandy :)
-
Managed to get a patch out during the hurricane that fixed several glaring problems, not only that, it was a heroic act of sacrifice.

I still shudder every time I see the letter j by itself.

Remember when your ship blew up the entire crew fell to the ground and spent a few moments vacantly staring at each other? Or jumping around? Or wondering how you survived the fall? And the blast?
