Subject: Moving to Xfire!
We are in the process of moving to Xfire clan system.
That means that we are going to use the news system, event calendar and web boards that are given from Xfire and eventually close the current forum.

Steps to joining us there (even if you're just a friend and not part of our SG):
  • Go here and follow instructions
    • If you have already an Xfire account, log in there
    • If you don't have an Xfire account, click "New user? Join Xfire" at the bottom of that page
  • Optionally (but heavily recommended), download the Xfire windows client so you can:
    • See who's online, chat with them and see if they are in-game
    • Browse and get real-time alerts of SG news updates
    • Browse future events and get calendar alerts reminding you about them
    • Track total gaming hours
    • Tell us if you're crashed or let us see if you're d/ced while we were playing so we can wait for you
    • Better bond with the rest of us and maybe follow us in other online games too

We do not plan to use the voice chat feature of Xfire due to multilingual nature of our SG.
If you want to follow our activity there, here is our new page:

And you see it here first (except if you gone to official forum the last 5 hours, yep it's *that* fresh)!

Can't... Be... Bothered... If... There... Are... No... New... Costu...*falls asleep*


And 27th sounds more likely honestly. Since that date is currently loaded with things going "live".
Slight psychosis and perhaps a tad bit insane.
But enough about you.
Le'ts talk about Chat now.

First thoughts (assorted):
  • I love those new AE doors! A knob that pressed inside before doors open, nice touch!
  • I love that system lets you trigger ambushes inside missions (as well as many many advanced things, like for example protect something from been destroyed, put patrols inside missions or two groups that fight each other, all that with the appropriate custom dialog of course)!
  • I love Studio B! Whoever though of a place where no powers can be used so you can work quietly on your projects, is a genius!
  • I love quick-access doors from the balcony! Flyers and super-jumpers will just love it!
  • I love that MA creation window isn't modal. Meaning, it starts maximized but you can restore it and re-size it as you see fit!
  • I love the fact that you can create custom foe groups. Meaning that you choose exactly what type of foes you want to appear in mission (anyone hate Malta Sappers? Well, just create a Malta custom group without them)!
  • I love that can you lost inside the MA options for endless hours!
  • I love that within Architect Taskforce, you can add people to your team after you've already started the mission!

But there are new costume pieces! There are different costume pieces that you can unlock and allow you to use them on characters within Mission Architect. Examples include, Custom Weapons and Shields, Cimeroran Costume Pieces and Holiday Event Pieces!

And 27th sounds more likely honestly. Since that date is currently loaded with things going "live".
I've said the actual predicted release date, not the date that you will complete your hibernation and find the issue released (and a couple of new veteran badges in your account)! :-p

For players that is... *snores*
And knowing that... Thing... No such luck either.

And on a positive side... They decided that immersiona dnf eeling is more important than a huge piece of concrete and will remove the AE from Croatoa.  :-D
