Question Hour 2
8th July 2005
With : Zorg, Mehean, Nicto10, SuperCLG
Other Question Hour Logs


<Zorg> very old times
<Mehean> Even I submitted a question this time.
<Mehean> You might recognize it.
<Zorg> Room is much quieter like this
<Mehean> I like it!
<Mehean> So peaceful.
<Zorg> I'm not tired this time, like I was in 2003 :)
* SuperCLG puts question reading pants on
<Zorg> ah how I remember that day....wait no I dont
<Mehean> Id be suprised if you did.
<Mehean> I barely do.
<Zorg> hey we could just talk for an hour and log this!
<Mehean> Sounds good to me.
<Questions> Right then!
<Questions> JonAce : Are you happy with the progress of Gangsterz 2?
<Zorg> Erm...yeah, little slower than I would like but I only get so much free time.
<Mehean> I'm happy with the progress so far, Although the game isnt exactly where I envisioned it
<Mehean> :)
<Zorg> well when did you "envision" it? back when it was made completley differently, 
under a different name, on a different server, with a different scripting language?
<Mehean> LOL I mean  that theres more stuff that could be added that we are waiting 
for you to get laid off or something to do :)
<Mehean> The games in good working order now I think.
<Zorg> I did so much more work when I had no job distracting me and filling my pockets with money *sigh*
<Questions> Deeg : What major additions do you plan to make to the game in the coming months?
<Mehean> Hunting most definately.
<Mehean> What else do you have in mind?
<Zorg> I'm not gonna make any future plans for major additions...
<Zorg> I make plans I underestimate how much work they require and then people start complaining
<Mehean> Thats how people are though, unfortunately.
<Zorg> One sec lets take a read from my trusty "To-Do Book" ...and yes it is a whole book
<Mehean> Everyone, Please note that it is question hour and you will 
be unable to talk until question hour is over.  If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private message.
<Zorg> class system...bah that one is gonna take some working out
<Mehean> A class system would be a huge undertaking. Most of the game would probably need redone for that.
<Zorg> automated weekly lottery...that should be fun, would take a bit of work though
<Mehean> That would be really cool :)
<Zorg> Split Gang CP in to pages....lol yeah I am really gonna have to do that one soon
<Mehean> I bet the big gang's CPs are crazy long.
<Zorg> Friends List....ah yes, forgot about that. Still not given it much thought though
<Zorg> oh well enough reading from that book
<Mehean> I personally dont see the advantages to that.  Your friends should be in your gang! :)
<Questions> Nicto10 submitted the exact same question as Deeg...
<Mehean> I guess they wanted to make sure you would see it :P
<Mehean> Did you see it?
<Questions> daleboi : is there eva gunna be a way of getting rewards for voting for gangsters2 
on such sites as apex and twg?????
<Zorg> yes....yes there is
<Mehean> We were talking about that earlier, werent we?
<Zorg> for voting on mpogd.com if I get it working right yeah
<Mehean> More like you were sending me messages and I was playing BF2 :P
<Zorg> My plan as I have it so far is as follows....
<Zorg> you vote on MPOGD you get a free revive, you can only vote once a day of course..
.and if we get in to the top 10 I double the exp the whole game gets from fights for 2 days as a reward
<Mehean> That sounds like a good plan.
<Zorg> anyway....
<Zorg> Nicto you can talk if you want
<Nicto10> Hi. ;D
<Mehean> Same with you, CLG. ;P
<SuperCLG> ssshhhh I have my reading pants on
<Questions> Mehean asked the same question as Deeg...and the same question he asked 2 years ago
<Mehean> :D
<Mehean> I asked it originally, Deeg. SEE?! I WAS ORIGINAL :P
<Questions> antistrat : what kind of misc items are you thinking of making in the future?
<Mehean> The Sonic Care Holy Toothbrush!
<Zorg> That will come with the hunting system hopefully....the delay with that is the
 huge amount of time it takes to make items and balance them, I had not planned for
<Zorg> But lets see, in general they will be stat increasing. One I have already made
 is a Police Riot Shield, but I have plenty of ideas for other items yet.
<Mehean> That riot shield is pretty cool.
<Zorg> have you been haxxoring my item database again Mehean?
<Mehean> You showed me it! :(
<Zorg> oh...yeah
<Mehean> I have done no haxxoring..I am innocent :P
<Mehean> ;)
<Questions> Frost : How will the training system work?
<Zorg> *cough* Hunting System
<Mehean> Good question.  I dont even know the answer to this.
<Mehean> You might want to get that cough looked at.  It doesnt sound too healthy.
<Nicto10> :x
<Zorg> You will choose a group to hunt, for example Sewer Rats....Police....
Thugs and you will fight them much the same as you fight players. Choose a level, and attack. Each has a
 cost in c redits based on their level
<Zorg> Gets quite expensive at the top end
<Zorg> You also get a little less exp from these fights
<Mehean> But it should always be worth the money because the mob you are killing might drop an item you cant buy :)
<Mehean> Thats true, but there will always be someone for you to go pick on.  Thats always a good thing.
<Zorg> But they also have a chance to drop items, such as those found in the hospital...
and quite a few special items only found in the hunting system
<Zorg> Just to give a few examples, Grenades...Knuckle Duster...oh and there is a weapon more powerful 
than the Plasma Rifle thrown in there
<Zorg> very hard to find though
<Questions> FatTony : Is it possible to have the jobs sped up, as there is nothing to do such
 as read forums, I tend to just walk away?
<Mehean> Come on online chat!  I'm always so lonely in here.. and it gets boring :(
<Zorg> You can always come chat in Online Chat...
<Mehean> Sometimes the only person I have to talk to is Jupiter :(
<Nicto10> Yes it can get quite lonely here. :(
<Zorg> I tried letting people use the forums while working but it either means you end up with 2 windows
 which is messy or a very buggy count down for your job
<Zorg> Once all systems are complete and we leave Public Beta testing....there should be so much to do 
here I will decrease job times though
<Questions> Foalku : What came first, the chicken or the egg?
<Zorg> egg
<Mehean> Egg.
<Questions> GLOOMIES : In case last question no good/too personal...Have you thought about a way so
 occasionally low levels can beat high levels?
<Zorg> last question?
<Mehean> O rly
<Mehean> I think hes hitting on you.
<Zorg> Yes there is a way low levels can beat high levels....level up
<Nicto10> But then they are not low levels anymore.
<Zorg> we would soon get more
<Mehean> That sounds like a personal problem that they will need to work out for themselves.  Its all mental :P
<Zorg> There will always be hundreds of level 1s, it is just my fear that one day they will unite and destroy us all
<Nicto10> :(
<Questions> nina : When will the training system be up?
* Zorg cries
<Mehean> :)
<Nicto10> When it's finished and the lag is resolved! :D
<Zorg> Nina....that name brings back terrible memories of an MUD I used to play
<Zorg> all I can say is when it is finished, I have given up telling people times and then failing to
 meet them :) you will just come on one day...and there it will be
<Mehean> Sounds like a plan.
<Questions> Frost thinks he can be clever be submitting them as we go along!
<Nicto10> Stupid unclever Frost! >:(
<Questions> Frost : What were the pains caused by the random revive times? :P
<Mehean> What?
<Zorg> They were never random
<Zorg> we had them rotate aroudn the clock...every day moving forward an hour at one point
<Mehean> What happened to that?
<Zorg> the pains with that? erm...
<Zorg> sometimes they stopped rotating
<Zorg> sometimes they rotated too quickly and revived 2 hours in a row
<Zorg> sometimes they went AWOL and everyone was wondering why it was 2793 hours untill the next revive
<Zorg> the list goes on, they were somewhat unstable lol
<Nicto10> Yes but as you once said...
<Nicto10> The man with the delete button always wins.
<Nicto10> :D
<Mehean> So true
<Questions> Jkjace : What gender is Jupiter?  If Jupiter is a woman will she marry me?
<Jupiter> I am male.  No, I will not marry you.
<Nicto10> Umm...
<Questions> Skorne : Do you know if there will ever be any more gang features. Not specifically gang warfare,
 so people actually feel a need to be in gangs.
<Zorg> ....hmm
<Zorg> like what? :/
<Mehean> I would think people would want to be in gangs for protection.
<Zorg> Soon everyone will want to join gangs to see my great page scripting seperating the gang members in to groups of 10!
<Zorg> We will see about that one anyway
 <Questions> Senotaff asked about misc items as well
<Mehean> Are there even any Misc items in the game?
<Zorg> only one and you can't get it yet
<Questions> cheeza : is the lag getting worse or better? what about disableing midi's through out the whole game? 
<Mehean> Why are they so fixated on stuff they cant get? :)
<Zorg> hmm...
<Zorg> better
<Zorg> and if profiles lag due to midis I am afraid that is your computer not ours, your welcome to 
disable them in options...but I will not be doing any such thing server wide
<Zorg> I can only help lag so much though...I made attacking and player searching run much faster
<Zorg> but now people simply attack and search quicker, the server load remains the same
<Nicto10> If everybody switched to the classic game template it would help...
<Zorg> not really
<Zorg> the lag is from processing requests to and from the database to the scripts.
...nothing to do with templates or midis
<Zorg> I was on during the last revive though and it was good enough for me, more than playable
<Zorg> any more questions....send to Mehean
<Mehean> Send em now.
<Zorg> you got any yet?
<Mehean> Nope.
<Zorg> ....
<Mehean> No one wants to ask a question?
<Mehean> <Nicto10> Is this a question?
<Zorg> we have only been at this 40 minutes, it is called question HOUR people come on
<Mehean> Yes
 <Mehean> anyone else?
< Mehean> I have a question.
<Mehean> Do you have anything else to do with hunting other than adding the items?
<Zorg> who said you get to ask questions?
<Mehean> :(
<Mehean> that was from Jupiter
<Mehean> :P
<Zorg> Yes I do
<Zorg> ok then, I will conclude this question hour
<Mehean> wait
<Mehean> <Deeg> question: will there ever be a storyline in g2, maybe expanding on the xcorp sector 
3 takeover thing and the hospital thing, or are these just permanent changes which wont   evolve?
<Mehean> if anyone else has a question to ask, now is the time to do it
<Zorg> they are not permanent....occasional changes will come, but an in depth storyline I doubt will ever take place
<Mehean> No more questions :)
<Zorg> I hear Joe is rallying up support to take back his shop anyway
<Mehean> He better.  I miss him.
<Nicto10> Joe Schmoe. :P
<Mehean> wait
<Mehean> I have one in my inbox
 <Zorg> no more waits
<Mehean> let me read it to see if its question worthy
<Zorg> let them send them for next week
<Mehean> that works
<Zorg> Ok then, I am gonna run off before chat is re-enabled anyway....players scare me
<Mehean> I have a question. A re we actaully going to do one next week? :p
<Zorg> Submit it and I will answer it during our next question hour
<Mehean> I hope the next one doesnt happen 2 years later again :)
<Zorg> :)
