You Wonder Why 4.0 Isn't Out Yet?

[Crayfishchris 751]

 

 

 

The answer is quite simple, really. I, crayfishchris, have captured shiftnative and am holding him hostage. If you ever want to see your 4.0, then you will give me a total of five american dollar, and he shall be freed, but until then, he remains my own source of personal income.

 

 

 

Look at him. Look at how sad he is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you want the shiftnative to remain sad? Well, send me my five dollar and he shall be free to work on your 4 point oh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In other words, I've set up a new attraction on the dev server. View the shiftnative for a low low price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a good day, folks.

 

(In other words, small update. 4.0 is actually very near completion :3.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never forget plugin street.

Those barren landscapes behind that tree looks 'very close to done' :P

 

Assuming that this is actually part of the mainland/even part of LotC, of course.

How much is that in bottlecaps?

A double entendre; while the thread is a joke we do see why the server isn't out. Tom foolery.

Build world. It's not the mainland, not even close. Just designs and whatnot.

And trust me, it ain't that. I just saw an AFK shift and took the opportunity :3.

 

Edit: Also, please don't say those sorts of things. For though I may have done a joke like this, the 4.0 builders have not and they have been working their butts off. They are not partaking in tomfoolery, not at all. So just, don't, alright? Target me about it, but not them. They've done well over normal with effort, and they don't deserve that.

Still inexcusable if you ask me, far too much time has been wasted for a "perfect" map. Look at the fringe, that was beautiful when we first started now look at it. Just bloody release it already lol, like 87% of the **** is complete, I am sure most plugins work, its not like it'll affect general roleplay with the amount of **** which is happening on the current map.

[Ford 1996]

So yeah where's 4.0

My; it's a harmless joke. it isn't like Cray has the power to say 4.0 will be released and so it will be. Enjoy the harmless joke that took maybe...ten minutes top?

 

Also sorry no money for u

Haven't seen a MT video in a while, must be Tom foolery.

 

Please don't assume things from a group of players that are working insanely hard to get this map done as soon and as good looking as we can and In turn I won't assume things regarding your team. Most of us are working our collective a**es off to make 4.0 a great map for Lotc, moving on... 

 

I would say the map is around 98% done at this point, we have a "must be done by" date and it's very close. The map itself looks great but definitely has a few patches of land that need sprucing up. So please just enjoy the thread for what it is, a joke.

Lol what? You guys don't spend time on terrain? I'm going to talk about LoA, and you can hate on LoA, but you can't hate on how beautiful it was, because LoA, was amazing. We spent 30% of our build time on the cities, mostly 1 person working on each nation themself, with a bunch of worker monkies. The other 70% was on making a great terrain, things like adding the webs inside bushes with fences, or putting webs inside trees. Adding large decorative webs, or adding randomized ice on each large tree branch. We put an amazing amount of detail into our map. Funny you guys have 2 trees in all those pictures, and you say it's almost done. (Which is almost done and I'm sure of it, really) It's probably just that area.

 

But if you (the public, non-developers/builders) want to know what a dev server looks like, it's usually trolly. It takes around 10-20 hours to make a good dungeon, and usually the amount of good builders are few, and focused. Half the time when there are several players online, they will often look around in fly mode as the builder builds, look around, TP to another spot to look around. Or they'll hop on skype and start talking. Sometimes you're the only one online, and often, and I mean often, you'll be building and another player will log on, then log off for no reason.

 

Usually things could be done 100x faster, but things never go like that. Even in professional, gaming companies that make Playstation/Xbox/PC games spend a lot of time walking around in the game, playing it, or looking for bugs. But in this case there's no such thing as "bugs" for a Minecraft development server, because all the coding is usually done on a different coding server.

 

These are the kinds of things that developers/GM's/Admins do on a developer server, go afk, and troll, only most of them aren't willing enough to actually show you the hard work they're putting in. Maybe it was just me on LoA, but we had a staff of 70 people at one point, and the staff never went below 30 people working on the server, and it was usually a graveyard, but we took just as much time as 4.0 probably did, maybe 6-8 months I think. This isn't necessarily what's happening on this server (even though I've heard it plenty of times from builders) and this is mostly my own experience on a large staff working on a server.
