Science, my friend, requires radical gambles and adventures in malpractice sometimes. Take solace in the fact that I tested the majority of these things on the dead, the re-dead, and the nearly departed before I went to live trials. Honestly, most of my "specimens" were several iterations past being considered a human being with their original fingerprints, teeth, or IDs. So it was rather a lot like experimenting on moaning clay putty." Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master! For science and community!

But is there anyway you can prove that you have been in talks with NCSoft? It's easy these days to just say "trust us!" while continued request for donations are being taken. It would be the same as holding your palm closed and telling others there's gold inside but you can't show them.. and they can only just trust its there, also known as blind faith that's being ran off the honor system. I hope you can see where I'm coming from without bringing the pitch forks. Like I said before, I can tell you I have five top of the line cars, three houses and a unicorn in the back named Gary. If what you're saying is true, then that's fantastic news for the community. But it would be nice to see receipts of said conversations. I highly doubt that they can legally tell us anything without it blowing up in their faces. That's how these things work. Plus, it is likely that there are many things that are not set in stone so why get people's hopes up by showing us some things only for NCSoft to say no later. They'll tell you what they can, when they can so long as it doesn't jeopardize what they are working towards. NCSoft hasn't shut us down, so obviously they are talking and being cool about these servers. That is enough proof for me, imo. Also, those donations go towards keeping things running around here, something of which they have been transparent on. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Game Master GM Tock Posted August 13, 2020 Retired Game Master Share Posted August 13, 2020 Linux, while I can't guarantee across distros the same magic (I'll give Fedora a shot for an RPM-based distro over APT next), it was as simple for me as Ubuntu 20.04 > Lutris > Homecoming Launcher > Install. The new Launcher caught the Tequila files and migrated them over automatically. If it doesn't work after patch, configure the launcher once more and make sure DXVK is turned on for Vulkan/OpenGL support. But that's it. I did have to change the Lutris launcher after install to point to the final patcher location in the Wine C Drive, but once done, it worked. (Because I'm on NVidia, that means using the "Version 440" closed source driver and not the open source hot-ness that is Noveau, so none of the Wayland goodness is possible for me yet. But with that, Linux and Windows performance is pretty evenly matched!) Stay tuned. 🙂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what you're saying is true, then that's fantastic news for the community. But it would be nice to see receipts of said conversations. I would tend to think the answer to this is simply "no". Personally I am absolutely convinced by the nonsensical name change and other rename/new social media creations. It screams of a deal specifying trademark use. But I can't imagine any way that it could possibly matter whether anyone believes them or not. So I'd suggest you just disbelieve them until you see some evidence... and I'll just believe them absolutely... and I can't see any way that makes our choices to DO anything in any way different. I mean I'd happily give them money but I've never had a chance because the donate window has always closed before I could get to it.

I'm noticing the sonic shields are on the person casting a sonic attack, despite the fact that you can't cast the support barriers on yourself. I think they're making an armor set for Tankers/Brutes/Scrappers/Stalkers/Sentinels themed around sound-based abilities, and are showing a sentinel using it. That's my guess.

Panthonca7034 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) @Jimmy For Project: Hangover, you mentioned that at some point in the near future it will be rolled out to begin replacing Tequila/Island rum (at least that is what I'm interpreting from the announcement), do we have a timetable of when to expect having to download it once it is tested and confirmed as stable? Does Hangover work with Senticon/Paragon Chat? Also do we have confirmation of it working on Vista Potatoes? 😛 (aka Windows Vista) I definitely like the new snapshots and the new stuff, very tantalizing 😄 Edited August 13, 2020 by Panthonca7034 Adding additional comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
