It's not practical to code around anti-virus software, especially ones with aggressive heuristics, as it is impossible to know what they look for. This is an online game, so this can happen.

It is possible to report a False Positive to them so they can remove the detection on their end. With most of the software you use, the devs probably did that before they shipped the software, which is why you don't see these erroneous detections with popular software. I'm not sure how useful this is right now while the game is still heavily under development and only open for a few days at a time, but we can definitely keep that in mind. For now setting an exception should do the trick.

Just wanted to share a little issue with the chat in popup mode, which can be rather confusing.
Messages tend to show up seemingly random in either the chat window still on the page or the one that's popped out, regardless of which one is currently the active window.



Edit:

I tried avoiding having the index page open while also having the chat popped out. When I went back to the index page I noticed even though the page was not open I still didn't receive most of the messages in the popup, so it's not only an issue when having two chats open. The update button doesn't do anything, refreshing the popup does help, though.

The only case this might be reasonable is if a thread doesn't have any replies.

A thread started by you is not really owned by you. If you could just delete your threads you might delete thousands of posts other users have contributed and which might still have value to them or to other people. Being able to access older threads and the information contained in them is one of the key features of forums compared to a chat and very much intended. There shouldn't really be many reasons why you'd want to get rid of a thread. Anyway, I'd rather have to ask a mod for deletion of my topic than irrevocably getting posts wiped by other users.

This integrated graphics chip doesn't meet the minimum requirements. The only way to fix this is to get a graphics card. >.<

QuoteTextures for 3D models are Raster graphics not Vector

Well, the texture format may be a raster image, that doesn't exclude the use of vectoring for the creation of that image.

QuoteAnd Illustrator and Flash (GUI Elements (js, AC2/AC3)) should be under Programming not 2D and also terraforming in programming since unity has a terrain tool. Why it is made in blender and maya is a diffrent story but could explain the holes in terrain when you suddenly fall into Void.


Illustrator and Flash are tools used to create vector graphics, they have nothing to do with programming in our context. We don't use Flash directly for GUI as in e.g. Scaleform, so there's no scripting involved in our case. I'm not sure why you'd associate terraforming with programming. It doesn't mean scripted realtime terraforming in the game or anything, if that's what you thought.
There are several reasons why Unity's terrain tool isn't always the way to go. You can create mountains, but you could never put a cave in them.

I am wondering though, is that code something real or just programming gibberish.
Maybe one of the programmers here can explain it?


To me it looks like base64 encoded data, which is a way to basically represent binary data as text. So I went on and decoded it and... well, it could be anything or nothing. The data's probably encrypted and only meant for the eyes of Google techs trying to debug something.  o.O

In your profile, go to Modify Profile > Look and Layout

There you can switch to your preffered time format, even a custom one if you so choose.  ^-^
The 24 hour clock just seems to be set as default.

Time to bring back my original avatar, which has antlers and pony  :3

Moose is best animal. I'm so glad everymoose likes them.

An MMORPG is not just an RPG with some online functionality added to it, but the entire game is built around the MMO part. Apart from the technical details of this not being plausible, some of which have been mentioned, it just doesn't make sense, as online is part of the genre. It's like asking for a turn based mode for a RTS. The mechanics won't work out that way.

Above and under the list of topics in a board there's a button that says "Notify". You might also need to do that for every child board like Artist Showcases if you want notifications for those.

Mind you, I've never used that feature myself, but that's how I understand it's supposed to work.

Well, all the news are in the forums too. There's an option to get notifications if a new thread in the news section is made, so you won't miss any.  :]

Alicorn Twilight is terrible. It doesn't matter why she turned it's still bad to make a character officially stronger than everyone else.



Spoiler: show

You make it sound like someone godmodded her into an alicorn and just made her OP. That is not what happened though.
She didn't gain any more strength from becoming an alicorn, she already had strength and through the magic of friendship she was able to make it happen. Apart from her getting wings and acknowledgement through her official title, she hasn't changed.
Twilight has come such a long way and has proven herself so many times. She's always been OP, in a good way.

Now, I bow before you, Princess Sparkle, may you lead S4 to many good episodes. If so, I shall declare you best pony.

Resolved Issues / Re: crysalis server
2012 Sep 30, 07:46:53
This particular server wasn't handling the load very well, so it has been restricted to internal testing.

Since then two more servers have been made available though: Cheerilee(US) and Cadence(DE).
Just try the other servers, Chrysalis will most likely not be available again.

Ponyville needs a lot of memory, especially with so many ponies online.
Other areas may run better  :]

do they have youtube versions of all the livestreams?


No, but they're recorded and saved on the livestream page, you can just watch them there  :]

You will know about new livestreams in the News section and Updates section. In fact, we won't see many updates until October until the next Con, I think. They must have some new stuff to impress people, you know. And that is impossible if they give an update for every little thing they make.

To sum up, palace's stuff, goes slow.


Well, except the random modeling and CA livestreams which happen occasionally, if you're interested in this kind of thing  ^-^

Right now transition points between areas are clearly shown as portals as you can see in various in-game footage.
This might be subject to change and I don't know about the final map layouts either, but I think you'll be able to tell where you'll load into a new area. It will probably not just happen out of nowhere while you're walking across an open area, but certain paths will lead there.

what plushies went for one grand?
I thought the highest was the Lyra one that went for a little over 700


No, plushies are going for such prices rather commonly.
I know of a Gala Fluttershy that went for $2475. I manged to only spend half a grand on plushies so far  ovO

The poster hit $1000, wow. Well, it's a charity listing, bronies tend to make the price explode on these  lol
