    Heeyyy, yoooo, its meee, McCormick, welcome to another senseless & boring distraction, so that you wont have to think about old bugs anymore :

    1. Dennis Antonsson now owns the Entropia platform.
    https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-antonsson-7a749628/?originalSubdomain=se

    Hes with Entropia as :
    Tester (2011)-> Test Lead (2014)-> Producer (2014)-> Designer (2018) -> Owner (2019) *lel*

    2. He made 1 post on the other forum about the new camera system and posted some videos.

    http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/f...-Camera-amp-Control-System-Preview-and-Guides

    We all asked for this...never...will this be his 1st and last post ? Who will be the next owner ? x'D

    *yawn*...waiting for their next PR stunt...this is getting beyond boring...

    And the fanboys started to cheer once more...as everything will be better from now on... x'D
    (ofc there are again angry posts by oldtimers...but I guess the AMA with the CEO will silence them as well...asap) x'D

    These careers always amaze me, going from a QA dude to boss of the product ("Lead producer and senior designer"), climbing 5 levels in the hierarchy in only 6-7 years. These people must either be gods or, well, almost anyone can do high level MindArk jobs.

    I've been in the IT business for 15+ years, I never experienced something like this, but I saw extremly knowledgeable, very intelligent people with supreme work ethics struggling for years to make it to the next level, mostly because other people were even better and struggling for longer already.

    But in MA only the sky is the limit, as you can go from organizing in-game events to CEO in about 3 months too :)

    By now it should be obvious, that these kind of repetitive announcements, are only created to distract the community from the big problems, this company has. These are not meant to be actually "news" or "great changes" within in the company.

    Pure distraction.

    Those who still dont get it, are still happily (more or less) posting "on the other forum".

    But this particular announcement can only mean one thing...the bullshit is back !
    Bigger ! "Better" ! Stronger !

    MAybe Dennis Antonsson will host the AMA in early february now... ;D

    Oh, there was an official announcement or something?

    I guess one we didn't get here because MA doesn't give a fuck about community sites, the community as well as planet partners abusing once more their dual role as the platform provider and competitor of their "partners" by announcing only on their own planet forum operated by their liar/cheater/scammer friend.

    Just watched the videos.... first impression, it doesn't look as bad as feared... (although I note they've stopped you zooming out! 8O) but remapping the keyboard again just to suit their whims is going to be a PITA. I better go screenshot my keyboard layout now since I know they will ass up this "saving your old layout to a text file thing".

    Initial confusions:

    1. Why a special key to switch to scope mode?
    2. Why a special key to switch to 3rd person mode?
    3. How is this "simpler" than "zoom in with mouse wheel to see target up close, zoom out with mouse wheel to see avatar from far behind"?
    4. Why is camera speed mapped to mouse wheel? surely zooming in and out is going to be used FAR more often than changing the speed of the camera? It is also what everyone is used to, makes sense and is intuitive
    5. If right click is some sorta extra context driven interaction button now, then how the heck do we open the menu? Seriously why would right click ever be used for anything other than opening a menu? 30 years of expected interface behaviour is being abandoned here. What are you MA? Fecking Mac users or something?!
    6. What is wrong with aiming at a mob, shooting it (with left mouse button) till it is dead then looting it (with left mouse button)? Why do I need to use the right mouse button now?
    7. This shit better be fully remappable/turn off able else MA are going to loose a LOT of money while people simply give up.

    Final comment: Autohotkey on standby!

    Haha, no thanks !
    I can imagine all those "answers" allready.

    It might turn out as a "nice read", but other than that, it will turn into silence asap.
    Filled with lies, PR gags and broken promises, as always.

    For sure there will 1 or 2 "planned" questions about unimportant crap,
    that will be answered correct and actually be introduced, so that the fanboys can boast with their standard phrases like:
    "SEE, they listen to the community (again)!" rofl

    Fucking bullshit AMA my a$$. x'D

    Judging by the orgasmic reactions of some of the people on the other forum, I will lean back and enjoy their show of stupidness & failure. ,-)

    Two questions right there. :)

    1) will this be yet another fake ‘Ask MindArk your burning questions’ PR exercise?

    2) will there be 1 or 2 “planned questions” about unimportant crap to make it look like they’re working with the community?

    But yes, same old same old will happen I agree.

    1.) This is only 1 out of 1000 possibilities and I assure you, we are consantly working on more ideas, than just this simple AMA !

    2.) We had a similar idea in the making already, but the new one might be quite different !

    Well too late now for me to post anything. If I didn't smell a rat when this was originally announced, the place is reeking of rat now.

    As Mr McC says it will be very similar answers to what he posts anyhow. I do feel their rules are against the spirit of an AMA. They should at least say, won't be time to answer all questions however these types are likely to be deprioritised. These others are likely to be answered first or at all.
