Railroads?
 

I was thinking that the railroads still aren't done and i thought they would of been done by now it has been awhile and I'm really excited to see them finished and usable there hasn't been an update for quite a while now which is quite annoying as i was looking for something new to do and see

Patience is virtue.

I'm not sure who I'm kidding. I'd like to see the railroads.

I hope like the original thread about this... this thread gets...

-puts on sunglasses-

Derailed.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

How many people actually used the railroads on a regular basis?

We have been getting great hat updates. I love hats and we have lots of content. This post isn't sarcastic at all.

i use railroads

Silly Britney, there will never be a finished railroad! Allow me to show a picture which explains it all.

There never was on Ol' West and there never will be for Classic.

cant take you seriously with that signature

Hats are iClassic's last legs. Just like SpongeBob on Nick. They suck, yet idiots feed the ****e.

Nether I.

I reckon there gonna add a train which takes you to a new town made of a massive barge of hats

Walking<mounting<2pmounting<railroads<hacking/teleporting

Unicorn > Railroads

Flying on the back of a huge robotic Pteranodon that's made of gold>Unicorns>railroads>mounts>walking>skateboardi ng>crawling

2p mounting is really ballsy. so um ftfy

I would use the rail road. I think if it is easier to direct where you want to go exactly when it comes back it will be used quite a bit. It will be a lot easier to get to warpers with an another option to get you to places that have limited ways into the area that can be clogged up by boosters or the hat chaser mob. like the caves to snow or the chair lifts being the only way onto belle.

I'm also hoping there will be a way to use the train tracks to get to oasis faster not that there is anything to do there since they never update it.

I dont want hats i never wear my hats i want an update thats good not just hats

I won't promise anything, but I hope soonish(in the coming weeks?). Content is mostly done, need to tie up loose ends and do some more testing(especially with new Android app). Facebook is proving to be the hardest client to adjust for and is providing some minor setbacks though.

I already knew there was new content coming out soon (not gonna say who exactly told me ) but I can't wait for it !

I'm not sure about this but the new content might provide scarf quest continuation

When you say Facebook, are you including every website that you can play Classic on? Skyrider and such?

I mean the client, I guess it'd be more appropriate to say the Flash client. And yes, Skyrider and Facebook use the same client. Flash client does quite a few things differently to be more efficient, and in the process isn't as "complete" as the other platforms. I don't think it gets updated as often, either.

How about we just nerf it, I reckon it'll make your job easier and make the majority of iClassic, emphasis on the "i", happier. Assuming we get faster updates.

Flash is the only accessible means via a computer, so I doubt that would go over well :P

Nerfing it will only lead to a bad rep. Dusty is better off taking more time to make it perfection.

As my mom always says: don't half-ass things

It's not even perfection so much as making sure things are actually working properly. You'd be surprised how differently some simple things work between PC(dedicated client where I initially script/test everything), iOS/Android, and Flash. Some things practically broke entire systems I had already scripted, which meant more work digging into the core scripts and fixing/working around whatever wasn't cooperating between all versions. Then of course there's actual testing content, and the more content there is, the more it has to be tested. And you can't test something once, "oh it works!" I put hours into just... playing the new content over and over and cleaning up bugs. Then playing some more and cleaning more bugs, and possibly new bugs introduced by fixing other bugs. And then you do this with each platform/client :) Let me just say there were lots of major bugs found this way. There would have been huge problems if I didn't bother to be as thorough as I was.

It sucks that I can't be more specific about the work that went into it(and why it's taking so long) because I don't want to spoil anything, but maybe it'll be fun to sit and talk details with players after the release.

Has classic thought about doing beta testers, or is it just too hard?

I don't even know if it's possible in the current state. Classic Dev is pretty much in shambles, and even though I started working on the content there I eventually moved most of it to the main server. It'd be hard to truly beta test with Dev in the condition it is(horribly out of sync with the content on Main).

Yay

I agree i think that it will get used quite alot i have heard other people have been waiting for them

Discontinue flash client?

IKR is it just me or does it seem like we are getting a new hat update every week now?

seems like it and they arn't even decent

So we can't just get rid of PC players?

So when is this thread getting...
*Puts on Sexy Glasses*
Derailed

Fixed my own post

Admins want to add the color rotor to every hat thats why

I'm fine with that. In fact I think its a good idea and was happy to see it introduced back in June in Nexus. It's nice to have color options and it helps to save room rather than clog up the screen with the different color versions of the same hat. I'm still hoping for an animated(gif) hat shop or animated(gif) Nexus themed items. Maybe for a 60's hippie themed nexus. You know how cool a disco ball furniture item would be???

when you're family is trapped in an unstoppable train racing towards a deadly cliff, what will you do to..Derail it.

Coming this fall. staring ryan freeman and robert downey zooniour.

Imagine a wonderful event occurring where the railroads open up, fireworks going off, and the whole of the land is excited... the long awaited hammer is involved, along with quests tying up the ancient zorbi cave, that weird abandoned looking area beyond snow town, the tunnels in the swamp, the pyrat ship, Bannon's crypt, the mausoleum... and then snap out of it. One thing at a time, fellas...

Well it'll probably be more like:
"Hey guys, server will be down for an hour!" *disconnects everyone*

Do you want this railroad "soon" or "later?"

I just want it to be completed for completion's sake. I might not even use it.

Dusty did mention its nearing the end of completion now in another thread. That would suggest at least imo that it should be done and out in like 2 weeks. I could be wrong tho.

I know that the admins work hard, and that they're busy (also I know nothing about level design) but it seems to me like getting the railroad to be faster than walking/mounts wouldn't take this long.

Classic's dev team is so small, I can imagine. But there's probably much more work that goes into it than just leveling.

I forget where dusty posted about the railroad, but I think he said he's adding more than originally intended.

Admins are probably going to extend york right because theres not much place to put a rail road tunnel

I wouldn't mind seeing a few new tiny islands around York,but I don't think its needed. They could always put a tunnel in the cliff by the graveyard/church,or in the cave by the horse race track,or in the pyrate caves. Then again there wasn't any tracks that actually came through York last time just in the rail road station just below Nexus.

We are all just going to have to wait and see. The one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the tracks will be packed with people for at least the first day or two. I can all ready see a pk riot forming in one of the new caves on the first day of the re-release.
