Faultine retired?!

[Glacier Peak]

@Faultline is no longer listed under the developers section and their forum handle isn't that bluish hue anymore.

 

What's the story? 

[Lines]

He was caught hiding all the Qs during a scrabble tournament. The punishment is exile.

Oh. So THAT'S how promotions work in Homecoming.

 

I'll keep that in mind.  😁

His Get-up-and-go has Got-up-and-went?

 

 

Odd. Suddenly I have an hankering for a hunk of cheese.

[TheZag]

He isnt even in the retired developers group,  he is in the normal members group.  So its an error if he left or shenanigans if he didnt.

 

[Glacier Peak]

Well I'm going to reserve judgement until I get a straight answer. No need to jump to conclusions.

[Veracor]

The content team decided that Faultline should be an optional hidden boss (no badges), accessed by having a team leader with the Master of Sequencers badge talk to and insult Cobalt Arachne on 4-star difficulty.  There you will have to fight the entire dev team in a tiny phased room with a countdown timer until that dimension mapserves.  I recommend focusing Captain Powerhouse down first to avoid his Nerfmode aura stacking too much if your team is comprised of high-performing powersets.

 

Successful completion of this fight awards ten Prismatics and a prestige Faultline pet (accolade power) that stabs you whenever you break something.

Hope he didn't crack.  Buckle under the pressure and upthrust his middle finger.  Crumble due to the strain.  I tremble at the thought of the aftershock.

The fault lies squarely in line with your assumptions...

I have no rebuttal from him yet in my thread. I'm starting to question what power sets he's using along with the animation time. He might have Munitions Mastery and I could just be waiting on the animation for LRM. 

 

Rebuttal to what?

[PeregrineFalcon]

He isn't going to be responding soon. Apparently he's AFK:

It was rushed, but rushed for a reason and not a random decision. Faultline is off and away for a while due to RL and he was/is the compile guy so until he is back no more patches.

 

So Page 5 had to be done before he left.

He claimed the Shadow Shard has the same physics as the rest of the universe and I /jranger'ed that idea. 

 

IIRC he said that it would have the same physics, if it weren't for that whole Rularuu thing, which tracks with me

[Ruin Mage]

He's on break, nothing to worry about.

Too many holes there. Time, gravity, and mass are interconnected. If gravity and mass work differently, there is no possible way that time would be the same aside from lazy writing. And moreover, using that an excuse for not being able to access other areas of the Shadow Shard is silly. Considering some of the things that pass for plot in this game, I think we have a LOT of wiggle room to work with. Anyone in the Shadow Shard should be suffocating on the dust in a couple of minutes anyway. 

 

Rularuu was a virtually omnipotent capital-G God before he was trapped there, and he infused every molecule of that temporary dimension with a massive portion of his power to make it a real, substantial dimension. Rularuu decides what the laws of physics are in the shard. If he weren't there, it'd be a different (very short) story.

[Ruin Mage]

That's a weird way to try to push for your suggestion being valid, I'm not going to lie.

So if he decided he wanted Echo Plaza to have doors to other Echoes, it could happen, right?

 

No, that would lead outside of the Shard, which Rularuu cannot do.

[Marshal_General]

Maybe he renamed himself to _YEP_

😇

[Glacier Peak]

Yeah I haven't been in game or discord, so I may have missed that info. 

 

Well the good news it this community will be here when they return.

It's comic book science. People are invisible but can still see, shoot fire from their hands, break the speed of sound running. At some point you just need to accept 'it works, because' is the explanation.

 

As someone else said 'just because we don't understand how something works does not stop it from working'.

[Digirium]

Wait what the other devs are too numpty-ish to build patches without Faultline??... hallelujah we're safe!

@Veracor, stop giving @Cobalt Arachne ideas about @Faultline and @Captain Powerhouse.

 

Oh, crap.  I pinged them.
