Title Update 4 is on its way! Make the world the way you want it!

Hello, creator of the universe here with an exciting announcement. After much consideration from the community feedback, we have begun the development of a new title update for our groundbreaking RPG. Life on Earth has been our most popular project, and after hitting an unprecedented 7 billion on the user count, we have decided 2000 years has been long enough of a wait. Normally our actions are kept secret, but I have been authorized to release the main details of the update. The release of the update is expected to come in the second quarter of 2012, but may be delayed to as late as the first quarter of 2013. While we have narrowed down several glitches that have been plaguing users, there is still room for certain changes to be made. That is why we need your feedback to make the update as best as possible, so feel free to post your suggestions here and on the official website. [u]Possible balance fixes and changes[/u]- Please submit your own suggestions. [b]Player model changes.[/b]The breasts on the female models were received with much positive reception, and will elaborate more on this concept. [b]Unbalance between strength and culture levels.[/b] We thought these traits would balance themselves, but the contact with the Americas quest proved we were wrong. We will adjust the available resources for each region to make future activities more fair, starting with a major buff to the players of the African and Islands regions. As for the balance issues between individual characters, we are pleased to see our minor update in the mid 20th century helped make the race and gender abilities more balanced. [b]Nuclear Weapons DLC patch[/b] In our hopes to give a more dynamic experience to players, we mistakenly made weaponry too overpowered. We will severely nerf these items to open up more interesting combat scenarios between world powers. [b]Level cap raise[/b] Despite our preset cap of level 75, several hackers have been able to surpass this. Instead of continuing the user ban, we will elevate the cap to 150. [b]World War 3 DLC[/b] We were pleased with the reception of our WW2 user activity, and will continue work on the highly anticipated final chapter of the trilogy. We promise to make the boss battle more difficult and include many new locations. [b]Health buff for player accounts and nerfs for bears and hippos.[/b] With the wide suggestions of boosting player health, we have decided to double the base endurance levels for all races and genders. Complaints about bears and hippos being overpowered will also be addressed. [b]Increased Jump height.[/b] Many players have complained about the inability to evade attacks due to the slow movement speed and low jump height. We will raise speed by 130% and jump height by 246%. We are working on more, but must first find back ups for every model of fauna in the case of a major glitch like the one that happened after Title update 2. Luckily a community member had already constructed a ark file to store the female and male models of most creatures, but some of our own favorites were lost. [u]Known Glitches[/u] These are issues we have already begun work on. Please submit any others you are aware of that are not on the list. [b]Test cells[/b]- we have found certain players discovering the remains of experimental creatures that were left undeleted. Giant lizards and monsters were decided to be overpowered, but unfortunately we did not apparently erase all of the files related to them. We were going to patch this as soon as possible, but community reaction has inspired us to leave them and consider future DLC. [b]Player files not correctly being loaded[/b]- Several members have complained about their accounts not loading their chosen attributes correctly, and in extreme cases cause default abilities or certain attributes to be disabled entirely. Please report any users you see who suffer from these disablement glitches so the patch can work effectively. [b]Glitch causing cure for aids quest to not appear[/b]- downloaders of aids virus dlc have stated that the desired quest does not appear and the markers are invisible, so we will eliminate the dlc and automatically grant the reward of the Vest of Immunity to all affected players. We will ad a new quest to allow other players the chance to receive this item as well. [b]Glitch causing salt water to have reverse effect[/b]- Due to a coding issue, drinking salt water causes the user's thirst level to [i]increase[/i]. We apologize for not recognizing this sooner and will fix it immediately. [b]Missing mount glitch[/b]- Glitch causing mounts/vehicles to be lost to the player. We are working on a fix. [b]Ringing sound glitch[/b]- a more minor glitch, but some players have complained about sound files not ending after a loud noise. We are working on a patch. [b]Out of map glitch[/b]- We have noticed some users being able to escape the map boundaries and journey out into the skybox. Instead of strengthening the barrier, we have decided players would possible like a DLC for this region. We will only make updates beyond the region already observed to keep up with consistency. We have made sure to leave room for more, so if you have a suggestion to make the world better, post it here.

  • Also, small question: What was the purpose of the Justin Bieber NPC? He is currently rated the least-favorite NPC in the game. [Edited on 02.01.2011 6:01 PM PST]

  • You stated earlier that a few of the game's resources like oil, natural gas, and coal are going to be phased out and removed over the next few years. Are there plans to replace these with new resources with something different or are they going to be removed from the game forever?

If they keep focusing on fast-transit, the eventual removal of the resources required will make the novelty of our world last a lot longer. It's a hard choice, but the right choice. The dev really knows what he's doing. And to think this all just started as an idea when the dev was hanging out alone. I really don't want to hit level cap.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] slayer2142 We need a new Ice age!!! Or at least a woolly mammoth dlc. We know it is in the code.[/quote] A few users are trying to make a homebrew mammoth from old, existing code themselves. I'm a little worried about it; they were phased out in TU3 because they weren't appropriate for the new world. They just wouldn't really work as much more than a novelty.

  • 20 years ago the Middle East's servers got very corrupted, and are now a dange to the rest of the game world. They even attempted an attack at the USA servers in 2001. Please Fix.

I know TU2 was to be a COMPLETE overhaul of TU1, but the Dinos? Really? Also, will the North Pole along with Polar Bears be removed in the TU4 update? [Edited on 02.01.2011 6:17 PM PST]

I just recently started following this game's development.[/quote] Most of us are recent players (seeing as hitting level cap ends the game, sadly), but iirc the a few trillion years ago (though it was unplayable until about 100,000 years ago) TU2 (the addition of a widely trusted but slightly shady documentation) was approximately 6,000 years ago, TU3 (update to the documentation) was 2,000 years ago, and I'm really stoked for TU4 has in store.

I just recently started following this game's development.[/quote]I remember that Title Update 2 (mentioned in the original post) was to combat the immense ammount of hackers, scammers, etc. The devs were forced to resort to purging, wiping the entire server clean, and consequently deleting nearly every character, model, and object. Fortunately, some user had saved a male and female model of almost every animal, so he was able to help rebuild them the servers. [Edited on 02.01.2011 6:18 PM PST]

It's like he is distant, omnipotent, omniscient, and just doesn't care.[/quote] Some say (and I won't make my opinion apparent here) that it's really a user-based game, and the developer was just put into place to keep most users happy. They say that when the dev says "Decide what goes into TU4," he REALLY means it. But enough talk of that. We can still talk about what's being added or removed or changed without discussing nuances such as that.

  • Yeah, this cancer glitch is really starting to bug me. I mean, I see players with levels as low as 13 being deactivated, do you think this will be addressed in the near future? Also I think that the ocean should decrease pressure so we could explore it more easily without needing that much equipment. I mean, there are still a ton of unexplored map locations.
