Jables 3 questions chat log

They're all in the OP.

It's not a problem, maybe just a bit easier to read

10.9.2015
Q1) Your only friend/[ONET] Bakala: Is there the possibility of a naval [or air] teleporter?
jables: #1 no plans for a naval or air teleporter currently. they were never designed with teleporting in mind.
Your only friend: Fair enough. Would be a nice way to compensate for speed
jables: yeah, we did speed them all up considerably back in January to help there too.. they used to be very slow hehe

Q2) Thurgeron: how about a titan that burrows through a planet and appears on the other side (titan, or teleporter-tunnel type thing for other armies)
jables: #2 - no plans for a burrowing unit. Would take a decent amount of design to figure out how to do it, and in the end would most likely end up being a teleporter with different art as having a path through a planet would most likely play havok with the pathfinding

Q3) wondible: Have you considered offering larger servers as an additional income source?
jables: #3 - we are looking at possibilities on server changes. nothing to mention publicly as of yet as we are still in exploration stage and it's possible nothing will come from it still

12:02:55 PM jables #2 - no plans for a burrowing unit. Would take a decent amount of design to figure out how to do it, and in the end would most likely end up being a teleporter with different art as having a path through a planet would most likely play havok with the pathfinding
12:03:30 PM Thurgeron ok thanks
12:03:40 PM jables #3 - we are looking at possibilities on server changes. nothing to mention publicly as of yet as we are still in exploration stage and it's possible nothing will come from it still

reposting since it seemed to not have been answered anywere

The answer on teleporting is disappointing.

And it won't, unless you're in chat and ask it.

Heh... if Uber were to do a "buy this commander to show you want beefier servers and that'll help us pay for them" commander, I know 100 of us would instantly do it, and 100 of those on the Steam forum would instantly post 1000 word essays on why Uber is Satan.

1000 words? You grossly underestimate our friends on Steam

I was thinking more of a private subscription service, but that's a novel way of running that works with their existing billing system.

logged questions of the 11th

16.9.2016
Q1) [RLM]Mot9001: Question: Will it be possible in the future to make a toggle button for symmetrical mexspots/spawns and csg because at the moment you can only disable it and you can't enable it.
jables: I don't see why not.. I'll add it to the list. Seems like a reasonable addition (though an engineer may yell at me for saying that)

Q2) N30N: jables is the any planns for a automated tournament system, like this?
jables: no plans for that currently, though it's cool

11:28:12 AM jables Mot #1
11:28:13 AM [RLM]Mot9001 Oh hello btw :)
11:28:16 AM jables and hello :)

11:29:08 AM jables N3ON #2
11:29:18 AM [RLM]Mot9001 yay!
11:29:19 AM jables no plans for that currently, though it's cool
11:29:56 AM [RLM]Mot9001 i could do some more in detail talk about it, it would make mapmaking easier specifically on metalplanets
11:30:20 AM jables 1 to go~
11:34:13 AM Tracer Tong will someone who bought PA Classic before the launch of Titans ever have to pay full price for Titans?
11:34:37 AM friendlyengineer yes
11:34:45 AM friendlyengineer its a timed thing
11:37:04 AM wondible Is the automatic energy mode that briefly appeared currently on the schedule to be revisited?

@mot9001 you should use the mod DirectEdit made by guest1. It lets you disable and enable symetry (and many other things) on the fly. You can use it to have assymetrical stuff on your planets

Thanks @wondible for your help. Logged questions of the 17th myself

What Jables said should be, like, everywhere, so people stop saying stupid stuff about developing games and how everything UberEnt made should be free forever for everyone, even your cat.

Ive got no clue what you are trying to say here. Anyways if it is offencive against me I just want to say that it was not in any way meant neggativily. After ive taken a second look at my question I understand that it was kind of bad formulated. What can I say though? second language right. Anyways I just tried to ask why the whole ladder wasnt public and it came out a bit wrong I guess. I dont critizise uber in anyway I just tried to ask wheter thats a thing they want to do

The cat is always first priority. You think this is a democracy? Pshhh.

That Cat rules the house. It's a dictatorship of fluffiness.

I was not negative toward you. Just pointing out what Jables said, because I think its important.

To translate he's saying 'if everyone understood this reality about cost and time, they wouldn't whine about developers how easy things are all the time' wasn't anti you andreas

25.9.2015

Q1) wondible: There was an auto energy mode briefly, maybe only in PTE. Is it on the list to be revisited?
jables: currently no. had issues which got it pulled. it may show up later, but would be up to design to make that call

Q1.1) iamstudent: May I talk about the balance?
jables: i'm production side.. so won't have many good answers on balance
iamstudent: Do the balance side come here and play the game?
jables: he does. watches streams a lot too

Q1.2) wondible: Maybe we should get you and tvinita to take alternate days ;^)
jables most devs are nervous talking to players as what you say can be held as a promise.. which makes it tough to just chat

Q1.3) P Roeleert: who's your favorite in the able gamers tourney tomorrow?
jables: hmmm. that sounds like a trap there are a ton of crazy good players. i'm actually curious to see how it plays out. now that people are used to titans changes

Q2) |⊰iller|⊰iwi: Is there a possibility of new maps to the ranked queue?
jables: that is a possibilty yeah. i know tvinita had some he's been working on. also possible for new gw maps. it'll depend on if he's happy as to how fast they show up if he decides they aren't fun they'll need rework

Q3) P Roeleert: do you think you'll have to do a hotfix for changing the T1 tank name anytime soon?
jables: Ahh the Ant. we do change it, it'll be tied to a match against Marshall. and that will come down to timing on both sides making it work :\ but yeah i think it requires a hotfix.. so it'd go out with the next update.

11:49:54 AM Ziggymore omg i was gonna say you ruined my sleep schedule
11:50:25 AM [RLM]AndreasG Jables you should take a look at this: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/a-suggestion-to-uber-on-how-to-improve-ladder-maps.70378/
11:50:42 AM jables there should be a jables titan.. it just monitors your economy and auto changes things to make sure you stay within budget.
11:50:48 AM jables but noooo, design didn't like that idea
11:50:55 AM [RLM]AndreasG the community is behind it, and i think it is a easay and crazy good way to improve 1v1 ladder and make it funny :)
11:51:03 AM Ziggymore the jables titan, a giant bear with nukes and artillery.... beautiful
11:51:20 AM jables I'll pass the thread to design Andreas
11:51:25 AM P Roeleert man that sounds like a fantastic titan :
11:51:31 AM Ziggymore XD
11:52:14 AM iamstudent Could uber buff some uncommon units, such naval carrier and Wyrm?
