nope, I wont name names, but when I get back to my main computer will see if I can find the thread.

Weird... If we are talking about the clumps of ores that looked like small planets. Those massive ore spots have been in forever, or it seems so. I think you the Devs need to talk to each other a bit more, as I know of at least 2 devs that knew of these and several GMs And... there have been many posts here on the forum on these as well.

And let's not forget the mobs are also decreased in numbers. Not sure what is going on here. But it is getting harder and harder to find any reason to play. No Mobs...so no problemo I'll switch to a miner, no ores...oops no mobs and no ores, guess I can always explore... but then what? If this is a way to combat botters then all I have to say is that it is the most lame idea I have ever heard of. The botters don't care if the number of ores and mobs are decreased...they don't even notice it. THEY ARE NOT AT THEIR MONITORs! Another knee jerk reaction... Punish everyone for the actions of a few. And if you read the other forum posts some of the Devs dont think botting is all that bad.

All I have to say is...Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. I can see a few problems with these forced group missions. First is unless you make it worth the while for others to help you with these (other than the good of mankind) then it will be harder and harder for other than the first lucky few to get through them. As soon as the others find there is no reward in it for them…well getting busy quick will be the order of the day. The second problem I see is you said if you don’t want to do the group missions you don’t have to. Unfortunately if you tie these missions to other missions in the series, if you opt out of one mission you opt out of every subsequent mission.

Who knows... If Byahkee wanted me to drop dead of utter amazement he would answer a question instead of more riddles. Sometimes a simple answer is all that is needed not further explanation on how the missions will or won’t work.

B.P.O.M.T? Made me hungry Bacon Potato Onion Mayonnaise and Tomato Sandwich?

Great! Welcome to EnB

I had no problems running "E&BConfig.exe" but no success running "net7config.exe" also there may be the Vista UAC not allowing you to save the changes. http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm Good Luck.

Did you hit the Test button? If not it won't save your changes.

That works for me as well, sort of not worth the effort to me to report the macro-er. Unless I can sit there and watch them get smacked. So, me being me and annoyance is my middle name....anyone have any good macro suggestions?

Here is a thought. How about a challenge and response question/answer turret or mob that is protecting macro-able areas. If you come into an area you will see a mob with a random graphic message over or under the turret/mob. Three attempts to get it correct or poof you are one towing macro. Captcha comes to EnB.

Voted. There was no choice for just roll back the TZU mission. That mission (2nd part) was enough to get the bar off the pegged negative and make me think it was possible to get it to the +. Without that added incentive, and decrease in mob quantity (chavez included) faction to me isn’t worth messing with. Also a mob that gives +10 each for RD faction, should not be behind a factioned gate:) Well unless they are there just to top off the faction.

I don’t do polls unless they are put up by one of the Dev or staff, that being said, the whole faction thing is getting way out of hand imo. First the 2nd Tzu mission was removed (gave 2K +RD faction), 2nd the gates were set to faction; mobs are spawning all over the place except where they are anchored? And insult on top of injury, the mob quantity has been decreased. So the net effect is faction is almost not worth bothering with. These opinions are mine and do not represent those of management nor their sponsors.

I just need Android phone users, but for you iPhone users a similar application is listed in the link. For $9.99 US a good deal. Our application (for Android) will allow you to launch applications on your PC, possible uses are hazy at the moment. And I had the game using my phone as a monitor. (had a video up now removed)

I hope this stays up long enough to get some interest. It is sort of an advertisement so if it gets deleted I will understand. But it does have a loose connection to the game? Way off topic, but sort on an EnB topic. Remember when I said I had EnB sort of running on an Android phone? I was accused of everything from Photoshop doctoring to using VNC (no big deal one person said he could do that in 20 min.) Or outright lying to you about what we were doing. We have pretty much given up on modifications to an application “designed” to allow EnB to be played on your phones. We have this application almost ready for additional beta testing. This application will allow your Android phone to act as an extended monitor. (Not a mirror driver). This means that your phone will look as if it were a second or third monitor to your Windows OS. This application is very similar to the iPad/iPhone Air Display. http://avatron.com/apps/air-display/ Means of connection is Wi-Fi (Currently only connection atm) USB – to be done 3G/4G to be tested – would need to make modifications to your router to allow access from outside your internal network. What I need is some brave souls willing to play with this application and provide feedback. OS required: Windows 7 32 and or 64 or Windows Vista or Windows XP. We are testing on the Sprint HTC Hero, so any other Android phones will be welcomed. Let me know if you are interested, If you can test this for us we will let you keep the application after testing, with updates. P.S. I still think EnB on it using a touch screen on a phone would be fun. Maybe only used for mining or trade runs.

I'm not sure you can access it anymore. The project has evolved from full on open source to a modified closed open source. So it stands to reason that the bug tracker would be closed to all but Devs and staff as well. Even if you could read it (used to be able to) you still would not be able to write to it. But on a good note the in game bug reporting is working well, and if your "bug" or new feature cannot be fixed by a GM, there is the forum to report your bug.

Was on for a bit this morning, better but not great. Will blow off working on mission tests as it is too hard to get combat level with no or very few mobs.

Thanks much, that will help.

I'm not talking about differences from live; I am saying there is a marked difference from a few weeks ago and now. Saturn / gate to Uranus had been a great place to start leveling up combat and trade. Now it's yet another slow slow grind for new toons. Sorry if I sound pissy, but my lvl 150 toons have been nurfed to tears, and now starting a new toon to test missions is having a hard time finding mobs of any quantity at a level to get combat level. Any Devs care to wade into this one?

This is what I would like for EnB for Christmas: 1. Fish Bowl raids as in days of old, or as close as possible. Fishing pole, bait… you get the drill. 2. Ammo comps from Mobs (Ten-gu) be changed back to dropping in cooper so that my high level toons may use their weapons again. Could be only a Christmas special. We could at least stock up. 3. Manes higher than level 2 drop something other than level 2 loot. 4. Some way to better communicate nerfs and why? Possibly a bi-weekly post from the dev that is making the change and why. This may help the other devs from getting blindsided on these changes as well. Example: Sun Tzu mission #2 for +2K RD faction gone…poof no one knows why. 5. Race specific Santa, at different locations (possibly at ea. race starting sector) was a terrible Lag fest as I remember.

Have you been there this morning? I think I killed about 10, then nothing. And the spawn is now one or 2 at about a 5 min interval.

Ummm is there a limited number of mobs that the EMU can support? I know from other threads that there is work in increasing the mobs for RD faction, but did we have to steal the scuttlebug mobs from Saturn to do this?

Sorry if I am just being stupid here, but are there two wipes? One the db is cleared of everything and we will need to re-start our toons inc. the names? And the other is we have all the toons we have created but have to start over from 0 on each? I have seen both types here.

I think Byakhee is still here and active (I think he lurks the game and CTDs me whenever I start to badmouth his missions) I heard Merlin had a nasty computer crash and is having trouble getting back into game. (I really miss having him around) Suricata may be taking a break (after imo totally messing up mobs and loot) He is active with 3D stuff as seen on his web page. Not sure about David, think he may still be here... just busy?? All I know or think I know.

I too, have been less and less excited about playing. Not sure if it is only the faction issue, but that is right up there. The mobs that you can kill for +10 RD faction each (this may have changed) are behind a RD factioned gate.
