Alpha 8 Release Window

[KoTC Edam Neadenil]

I think the significant thing is " I expect to get an update first thing tomorrow". The best you can expect in the next hour or two is an update on when it might be coming.

First thing in the morning can mean so much, on a Saturday. When does the "work morning" begin?

How much prep work does it take to launch it? I'm sure they just don't flick a switch, they have to test it for at least a few minutes to perhaps an hour.

If they prove me wrong, no one loses, including me.

I would be surprised if they weren't in and working on it right now, but it's not incredibly important. It will be ready when it's ready, and then we'll have our chance to break it. Until then, let the forums buzz with activity as we pace back and forth between threads.

I suspect quite a few of us have been doing exactly that, off and on, since yesterday afternoon.

[TEO Cheatle]

I think we will see something in the next hour or two.

If not for a telemarketer calling, I would have been like Yogi Bear this morning:

"He sleeps to Noon but before it's dark ...."

And I hope it is before dark we are going. :-)

[Papaver]

Do yourself a favour. Move it to monday and don't go insane.

Or at least take a couple of hours break where the whole team eats, chills out and hits Ryan Dancey with foam hammers/swords/axes.

Then go back to work.

Nein! They slept fitfully and were given some booze and hard tack.

[Papaver]

A couple of things.

1) I had to look up what hard tack is.
2) drunk programmers are the best programmers
3) I'm glad you don't disagree about the foam weapons thing.

And I spelled it hard tack. Correct is: hardtack.

The foam weapons, I like. :)

[Papaver]

I like the way you think. We need to talk in ts someday.

Not today sadly because any minute a horde of german viking lookig dudes are a bout to storm my apartment with mead and Jack Daniels.

[T7V Jazzlvraz]

Papaver lives the good life.

Agreed!

Mind your hit points and keep your will bonus up!

[TEO Cheatle]

Papaver is a Pimp:

That is because Papaver is actually a Pimp, of the highest quality of Pimps, and he has a strong Pimp hand, which brings on ridiculous situations in which he has to Pimp his way out of.

[T7V Jazzlvraz]

I'm not certain that word has a non-derogatory connotation available, Cheatle :-).

[Papaver]

This got weird fast.

Actually, short for Pimp Out. Papavar's icon could definitely use some pimping.

It always surprises me that people are still willing to "eat" hardtack when Canadians have been using Pemmican for centuries.

[T7V Jazzlvraz]

I dunno. I've run across some nasty examples of each...and a few of each that make one think they could have better reputations.

[TEO Cheatle]

@Jazz, Papa knows whats up! lol

[Caldeathe Baequiannia]

But have you run across good hardtack that was better than bad pemmican?

[KarlBob]

I'm starting tho wonder whether they have a situation where Module X + Subroutine Y = Sparks, smoke, and the Blue Screen of Doom.

Edit: With the bonus challenge of not knowing which of the 20 new modules and 50 new subroutines are reacting so badly.

Note to the Edit: All numbers in the above edit were pulled from thin air/my nether regions.

[Urman]

There used to be a cracker called Pilot's Bread available; I haven't seen them for a while. Big, heavy 3" disks. Not quite hardtack, but I liked 'em.

[Dogan.]

I'm thinking this silence is not a good sign for play today. Hope it's going well and they are just keeping it a secret for some reason.

[Nihimon]

I expect they'll give us an update once "morning" is no longer possible. Until then, they're probably just very busy.

[Harad Navar]

Silence of the Lampshades, the aftermath of mead, scripts, and hardtack.

[Keign]

I'm actually encouraged by the silence, to me it means that they are likely all scrambling to get things done, not looking at the time or checking on the forums to check in on us. We'll survive, and we will all be the happier when the first thing they pop up to say is "Done!"

[Scarlette]

silence at least means that it isn't put off until tomorrow yet

Who remembers trying to get games to work on thier TRS 80 "state of the art" then, machine?

"Black Sanctum" worked fine for me. Though the cassette tended to rattle occasionally.

Ah, the cassettes. It's only now, at this remove, that one can avoid profanity.

Yes, but boy wasn't that Commodore C64 an absolute thing of beauty!

Haha! Was just thinking how happy that new buy made me then.

[Mourn Blackhand]

How about a vic 20 or Commodore 64.

My earliest video game memory is playing Cosmic Cruncher, the Commodore Pac Man clone in which Pac Man is replaced with a very hungry Commodore logo, on my Vic 20.

I'm as eager as anyone to get in the game, but let's not forget we're still in alpha.

[FMS Quietus]

Intellivision was my introduction into the gaming world.

[Mourn Blackhand]

I faithfully typed in a dice rolling program that I think was found in an old Dragon Magazine.

[Scarlette]

client is up

Intellivision was my 1st console, but I didn't really get into gaming until I earned enough money to buy my Commodore 64.

[TEO Apyx]

It's ALIVE!!!!!!

[Lusis]

lol the 64 took what, 10-15 minutes to load a game?

[<Kabal> Daeglin]

We spent an unimaginable amount of time PvPing using the original Mario Bros. on the Commodore 64. Good times.

[T7V Jazzlvraz]

I wonder how many people found ways to PVP in games that the designers hadn't intended it at all?

[Diella]

Well at 3est I have to leave these ever so interesting forums because mmy company will be arrive for a table top game that will be running until 11pm. Tomorrow I have another game that last until 6pm.

Best case scenario for me would be that I can download tonight before going to bed or early tomorrow and be all set to play at 7 Sunday.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL

Administrator Rights Required for Patcher

The Patcher must be run by an Administrator or it will crash. After downloading and installing the Patcher, navigate to the folder you installed the Patcher in (by default this is \Program Files (x86)\Pathfinder Online). If you had the installer add a start menu entry or a desktop icon you may also right-click on either of those instead of navigating to the install directory. Right click on the Patcher application (or the Pathfinder Online icon) (not the Pathfinder Online application) and select "Run as administrator". If you don't see this option on the menu, you are not an Administrator and will need to have a user who is install the program for you.

This graphic shows you what you should see when running the Patcher for the first time.

Woah... so did I, like, wake up right as this thing went live?
