Welp. Never actually played it. It raises the question ''How do you select your fucking gm's''. This is so funny. At least he is honest.
the admins didn't play it either. op staff, no1 has a clue and they run a server
I'm quite sure I'm the only staff member who never played the game.
And with all due respect, I sincerely believe that you are wrong. I am a manager of the server, not a player and specially not a developer. I completely understand all our rules, I know exactly all the kinds of cheats avaiable (so I can properly ban) and I know everything there is to know about Apex to properly give support to all our users. That being said, I'm confident that I don't need to have played the game in the past in order to do my job correctly.
Alredy explained above. One does not need to "play" the game in order to manage, support and administrate simple tasks. Of course that that is not the case for the developers who needs to have a profound knowledge of the game and its mechanics and regarding that, we could not be in better hands.
Alpha and Aesteris both also claim to have very little experience actually playing the game (thus why they used to ask other people how things in USKO work, and thus resulting in current bugs in the server, due to people giving false information because they had never played themselves, such as warrior AOE skills not working through gab curse, etc).
So while you may be the only one who has never *played* the game, you are not the only one who has very little to no actual in game experience.
It's mostly just the newer stuff that they're referring to by that. Aesteris double checks as much as he has access to with USKO though, so that's a bit of an exaggeration TBH.
As far as current GM activity, it's just unfortunate but temporary. Unfortunately, a few of the staff are dealing with unavoidable RL stuff at the moment - as Aesteris pointed out in the shoutbox - but things will get back on track very soon. :-)
Sure, but some of these things have been around since alpha (pretty sure black reported these things back in the issue tracker, could still be there, dunno) which I can't blame you guys entirely, testing the warrior AOE and curse would require a gab ada 7 which is like $30-$40 at the cheapest on USKO.
As far as it being an exaggeration; not really. Alpha had PMed me and told me that while he appreciated my suggestions, he couldn't just take my word because that's the reason that things had become fucked up to the current point and would just rather go test himself, that's what he was doing before his unfortunate emergency.

The current priest restore is an example of thing that needs to be fixed as well, mage damage is excusable (because that's mostly of it being multiplied instead of added which can't really be checked unless you baba a character and test the damages with full gear), but the warrior AOEs failing randomly and dealing 50 damage instead of their actual isn't.
There's also another small bug that's pretty annoying; you shouldn't be able to hit people when they have the gab curse; your animation should just straight up cancel and you shouldn't lose mana for the skill, meanwhile here you lose mana + the animation goes through, but you don't actually deal damage (you can see it pretty clearly in this video (instantly mute it, pretty loud): https://youtu.be/iNb3hsV8tqI?t=1m19s the priests gab curse goes off and the small elmorad warrior takes another step towards him as if he's going to do another skill, but instead cannot even do an R. You can also see it at 1:55 in the same video, the warrior tries to attack but can't even start the animation).
btw give utc ty
edit: while im thinking about annoying things on this server; ADD A DC PREM NPC TO CZ TY

yeah that thing Sky said is pretty annoying, when gabs work you can still hit the priest, lose mana but dont make dmg. And the recovery is OP af, the priest just need to cancel and she can do it again, the party doesnt need to do anything(just be immortal ) .
peace
Appreciate the feedback & providing a source. Makes things a lot easier. :-)
As far as the canceling/recovery thing (they're effectively one and the same root issue with how canceling works/worked), I believe Aesteris was fixing that if he hadn't finished already (pending the next restart), so that shouldn't be an issue for much longer.
Yeah, we're probably going to have to work that in soon, since it's kind've just sitting there unused. We'll talk about how we want that to work.
Heh. :P
Since you guys release patches every Friday; it would also be great if you could make it so warrior AOEs go through gab adamant curse while you're dealing with that entire segment of stuff.
As far as UTC goes, hopefully you guys will make some post on the Apex forums sooner than later to hear the communities suggestions on implementing UTC?
(also give darkness spear pls ; _ ; )
Will there get launched a new server, anytime?
