You know you already get a free hat for completing all the Tutorial achievements (which requires some time in Sandbox), right?

No?

Well, we are working on making those a little more obvious. And we're also definitely working on deepening the scripted tutorial content.

I'm really beginning to think this should be a pinned thread.

Ok, done. :)

Welcome to all the new folks. I know you'll do us proud.

Gameplay / Re: Typhon, Heavy Flak Discussion.
« on: August 14, 2013, 01:02:01 pm »
I guess my biggest complaint is trying to do these new achievements with all these changes. I cant see me getting anymore Lochnager and flak part destroys since the heavy flak is even more shunned for the moment. And please dont even bring up the light flak, would anyone really expect to do a lochnager shot with that thing . This has to be done without accidentally killing them, which in itself is fairly absurd. 2000+ m part destroys is still possible I guess using charged rounds, but I just truly despise talentless buffoons that sit in the corner with a mercury, so I have been slowly getting mine done with a LumberJack. I guess my main concern is all these achievements. It is no secret I like to get my levels, thats how I am, and could care less who likes it or not. The heavy flak is hard to hit with at range, even with the slothlike lesmok projectile. Just put 2 rounds back in the thing.

There are a few more achievement revisions coming -- that particular achievement is being changed to remove the gun constraint, so it's Lochnagar with anything, if that helps.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Stop punishing high levels
« on: August 14, 2013, 11:24:52 am »
See my comments in this thread: https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,1988.msg35125.html#msg35125

To reiterate here, the progression curve was actually roughly on par with our projections, but based on your feedback we're scaling it down to make the level cap more achievable. With the new curve, level 15 will be able to be reached in about the time it currently takes to reach level 13. The early levels will remain unchanged, while the mid to high levels will be noticeably faster and more regular than they are currently. These changes will be going live soon.

General Discussion / Re: Elite Costume level
« on: August 13, 2013, 04:08:22 pm »
We hear you on the time commitment to reach level 15 (and that is where the elite costumes are). We want it to take you a while to get there, but not be unobtainable (because the costumes are cool, we want people to wear them!).

We set out to create a long progression curve with lots of leveling content, but we overshot a bit. So we are currently rebalancing the progression curve to lower the overall time requirement to reach level cap. Early levels, up to 4 or 5, will be essentially unchanged, and after that level progression will be steadier, with less of an extreme ramp up from level to level.

New level 15 will be about where level 13 is now, and those costumes will still be difficult to get, but within reach.

These changes should be coming soon.

The Pit / Pit Rules
« on: August 05, 2013, 10:59:25 am »
You have ventured down into the Pit. Things are different down here.

The Pit is a place where the forum rules are relaxed, so your posts can be as random, off-topic, numerous, and silly as you want. Long-winded debates that have passed the point of practical use will be dumped here so the participants can carry on until their keyboards disintegrate without cluttering up the regular boards. Games, jokes, and meme threads are all fair game for the Pit.

However, while forum rules are off, the community standards as a whole still apply. Personal attacks, excessive or targeted profanity, pornography and sexually explicit content, commercial spam, malware, etc. are all subject to moderation. Steer clear of these and the mods won't bat an eye.

Welcome to the Pit. Happy digging!

I should have clarified: what was fixed was that "Moby Dick" is once again allowed, not that "Intercourse" was disallowed.

DMax, I bet you can have all those ship names, actually. Although "Blue Ball" might raise flags -- the moderators are understandably a little ball-shy (you would be, too, if you read the stuff they read every day).

Great! Well, my suggestion to you both is the same as in the post about the Portuguese board above -- if you'd like to become a moderator of a new Spanish section, then I invite you to apply for CA, and say that you're applying with the goal of becoming a Spanish-language forum moderator.

Oh, interesting. I see how that happened. Should be fixed now.

Why can't we name our ships after the planet Uranus?

Because there's no way to whitelist certain words while continuing to block parts of them. If Uranus were allowed, so would be any string containing *anus*. Sorry, I think it's a lovely planet/titan, and I wish we could honor it/him properly.

Btw is Dick banned? Because I feel for those wanting to name their ships Moby Dick.

No, it's not -- c.f. Lord Dick Tim.

I'm pretty sure the skies are full of ships named Moby Dick.

I'm actually surprised that there haven't been requests for a Spanish section before now.

Anyone to second/volunteer to moderate?

"Uranus" is still banned word, for example. However, it prevents us from pyras called "Prepare Uranus" in every lobby.

Yeah, I think that one's going to have to stand.

niggle is a banned word.

I did a review of the filter yesterday and fixed that one already. Looking at blacklisted ship names also suggested quite a few new additions to replace it...but the filter should be quite a bit smarter now.
