Short downtime while we upgrade the forums

When is the downtime? and can you add these forum trophies?

 

Wow, that was quick I was expecting it to take like 10 minutes or something.

 

Whats that, the forums have been hacked into?

 

Not necessarily. Every once in a while, software manufacturers issue a new update/patch fixing security issues.

When something like that happens, it's worth updating to the latest version as soon as possible, even though your infrastructure hasn't been attacked yet.

 

I couldn't help it. After achieving ascension to Cardotron 4000, I knew the only way to near the perfection of Jon's Cardotron 5000 state was to infiltrate the source of his power.

Since the game itself had legions of berserker mutant space gnomes defending its access points, I knew the only entry point would be through the forums..

Sadly, I was thwarted midway by a cleverly placed plate of cookies.

Curse them and their insightful security measures!

 

I never understood what was up with you and those Gnomes.

 

It's an old D&D gag. There's also similar mention in Fable, and similar associations in certain WoW memes/songs.
More notably, there was a short lived internet meme about evil [lawn] gnomes several years back.

Having the gnomes in this game as insane, taunting, whirlwinding berserkers just sealed the association in my mind.

 

I can add trophies? ... I'll look into that

 

While we're talking about forum features: I'd like to bring up increasing the PM limit beyond 5 players to allow better in-guild communication.

I think it be could done manually by request, but if it's possible maybe the limit could be increased based on some measure of veteranship (time in the community, trophies earned, etc).

 

Ah right I was going to talk to @Jon about doing this for guild leaders.

 

While you're at it, push on the matter of an in-game guild chat tab.
It'd be a major game component in making pvpers feel engaged, and, well, it's obviously somewhat massive for helping my co-op grouping based guild out

 

Seeing as guilds aren't even in-game right now, don't expect this anytime soon.

 

Rather than turn CardHunter into the perfect chat client, perhaps it would be worth looking into having an official, hosted instance of something like teamspeak? (I'm sure there are text-only variants of that sort of thing as well.)

 

!Dislike

 

While I'm perfectly fine with the officially-unofficial guilds system we have right now, it would be nice if BM started working on an unofficially-official implementation, possibly to be released along the next big expansion.

Also that was completely off-topic I suppose.
