Is launch date still confirmed for December 21, 2012?
Quote from Admin
Yup. We have some very interesting things planned. The fireworks are going to make more than a few of you literally shit yourself.
Quote from Player
Rumors state that all player stats will be reverted back to 0, and re-spawn might take billions of years upon rollover. I've put decades of work (not to mention the last several years of grinding achievements) into my char. Any recourse for current players?
Quote from Admin
Too many people are waiting to play. We have no way to guarantee users another chance to play at the moment.
Quote from Player
You're always pushing it back, man. You say 2012 now but what about the last 100 times you've said that? You're as improbable as Duke Nukem Forever, even if it has been confirmed.

Valve time is nothing to me.

1.1? You mean there was a 1.0? I thought we were still in beta..
Quote from Admin
I'm guessing you weren't around for 1.0 then. The dinosaur class was quite fun. But very overpowered.



Quote from Player
Mosquitos.

Don't you dare try and say they are a feature.
Quote from Other Player
bug reported!
Quote from Admin
I have plans for Mosquitos in a future update.
Quote from Player
I'll keep the faith, I guess, but I wasn't too impressed by the whole malaria thing. I have a hard time imagining that that was intended as part of the design.



Quote from Player
Do you mind lifting the speed cap? 3x10^8 seems a little low. Or are you going to wait until a sufficient number of players actually reach it?

Also, what's the deal with this "dark matter" stuff? It's an ad-hoc bug fix, right? Will it be removed in a later version?
Quote from Admin
The speed cap seems fine for now. An increase hasn't been playtested yet. I could put it in the next closed beta, though.



Quote from Player
Also, please add more quests... the main storyline seems ambiguous.
Quote from Admin
We went for an open ended approach, but I can see why a lack of set goals would would annoy some uses. Try setting yourself some quests until we can work something out.



There are too many users saying that they are either admins or are the admins spokesman. Any way you can you can fix it so admins have unique features that can't be faked.I suppose you could ask them to take off their pants. Admins do not have genitals. :wut:



Why don't you show your fucking face, asshole?

People are ganking each other 24/7 over their opinions about how you look like and if you made this or that kind of rule.

Your game is just a ridiculous trollfest at the moment, dude.

Also: Factions. The races are basically all the same yet players think it's an actual feature not an imaginary construct. They build nations around "cultural borders". Holy fuck, can't you just tell them to shut up already and join common efforts to finally get to the next stage of the fucking game? WE HAVEN'T EVEN LEFT OUR PLANET, YET! WHAT THE FUCK!? LET ME IMMIGRATE TO A PvE SERVER! PvP SUCKS!Banned for not being as awesome as me. :awesome:



There is to much lag when close to objects of large mass or when traveling near the speed cap.


Can't find the fuckin' higgs boson. The strategy guide told me it'd be at CERN, but it never showed up. Dark energy is imba. Nerf the Jews.


Even respawning at level 1 with full loss of inventory would be okay, I just don't like this whole hardcore, death is permanent mode.Overpopulation is already a problem and the waiting list for people wanting to play is huge. A chance to respawn will be given out rarely.Under what circumstances will they be given out?Significant contributions to the game will work. Einstein is a young Mexican girl now, I believe.I don't know why, but this made me really, really happy.


How does one really contact tech support? All the attempts I see so far only get phishers.Ouija board is the quickest way.


I honestly think a better system to handle gender and gender changes should be implemented. I think I must have picked the wrong one, or maybe there was a bug with the character select screen or something weird like that. There also seems to be a number of in-between genders that I didn't see on the character select screen.Gender changing will be updated. We included a way to change gender at any time previously. Trolls would consistently do it during sex. We're working on a new version and removing all exploits.Please, someone, turn this into a comic. :devlin: Etc.



Note: I'm not especially geared towards Reddit or anything, by the way.

Back* from the grave

I guess it's kinda stupid to point out, but the speed cap is slightly less due to formatting and whatnot. The actual speedcap is more like 299,792,458 than 300,000,000.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Sewage system is right next to entertainment zone. This is unsatisfactory.
Quote from Admin
Really? I was continuously told in the last version that the sewage system should be an entertainment zone.
Quote from Other Player
4chan rigged that poll...
Quote from Player
It's clearly not explicit enough, as certain demographics of users are reluctant to use the sewage system for recreation.

I think maybe a ring of neon flashing lights around the rim oughta do it.
Quote from Admin
I'd prefer to keep it as a somewhat common but random occurrence. It keeps the game interesting.

You know how to keep us hooked!

Can we nerf that debuff for a shorter time period?

Can this content be made PVP, so we can gank those ugly trolls?

Your matchmaking system is horrible and out of date.
I'd like to have some kind of system to know if the person I'm looking at is going to want the same things in a relationship that I am and if our personalities would mix.
Nothing huge, but just something to get me started so I don't have to be creepy by asking out all these random girls who don't fit with me.

We don't actually have a matchmaking system. Relationships were invented by players. I just wanted everyone to **** freely.

Well then your "**** freely" thing fails too. Even animals look for relationships and the rest is just a battle of rape/anti-rape.

Animals are players too. Less fortunate ones, I admit. The class selection screen lists features that have yet to be implemented. Such as frogs having the ability to backflip.

Any word on when foxes are finally going to be capable of barrel rolling?

Dude, that's been live for like 15 years. Tap R or Z twice.

So when do we get to try the beta for Universe 2? I heard it was in the works.

U2 will be out about 4 centuries after StarCraft: Ghost...
So in other words, by then, the human race will be wiped out of existence :awesome:

1. SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE NOT THREAD-SAFE. I recommend that the classes Cosmology() and Immunology() become private subclasses of Science(). ETHICS should be a global, not in the constructor method of Religion().
2. VERSION CONTROL. You are not at v1.0 until you tag the commit. It is totally unnecessary to provision new hardware and reinstall every time somebody walks in front of a bus.
3. BETTER DOCS. Have you heard of these guys?? They're amazing! For a project to go out of beta without documentation is unacceptable. You should have been thinking of this at v0.3. Now your users, who don't have access to the source, have written better documentation for the universe than you've ever attempted.
4. DUCK TYPING SUCKS. What the fuck is a tomato?
5. BETTER API. Do you have any idea how much we're spending on the Large Hadron Collider? What do you think the first interstellar fleet is going to cost? There is no need for us to bumble through the subatomic world on our own, just assign us an API key.

Problem: auto-regeneration either does not completely regenerate broken systems or does nothing at all.

System found: most species

Sub division: user interface

Version found: all editions

Regression: yes

Reproducible: by user / by developer

Environment: the universe

Severity: critical / show stopper

Steps to reproduce:
  • Start the universe
  • Start SolarSystem.Galaxy.LocalCluster
  • Allow species to evolve [or load from a previously saved state (see sample files in attachment)]

Usage scenario 1:
  • For any given species [here: Homo Sapiens] defects may occur. Typical examples are:
  • diseases: congenital or acquired
  • injuries, self-inflicted or environmentally-induced
Actual result: damage from disease or injury is not or not completely regenerated. Individual may be left in a reduced operational state [loss of functionality ranging from reduced ability to total vegetative state] or death.

Expected result: except in such cases where the body cannot overcome the severity of [extensive] trauma or escape conditions that exceed operational tolerances of the system, the body's self-healing capacity restores non-functional parts to full working order as encoded in the DNA-sequence.

Usage scenario 2:
  • For any given species [here: Homo Sapiens] the system's ability to regenerate will totally break down after a period of time [commonly referred to as: life expectancy]. The quality of maintenance does not appear to have any appreciable effect on longevity and any efforts at restoration of the system's functionality will ultimately be defeated by the simple passage of time. Auto regeneration simply stops working. Any fatalities avoided in Usage scenario 1 -must- eventually run into the failure condition in Usage scenario 2. There are no known exceptions.

Actual result: Given the passage of enough time, auto regeneration loses all functionality and the subject simply dies.

Expected result: Auto regeneration keeps working as long as sufficient nutrients are supplied and the restorative functionality keeps running true indefinitely.

Log files attached.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
