It makes one wonder how that image still is instantly recognizable after all these... ahem... weeks.

Maybe everything in gaming since then were steps in the wrong direction in the first place 🤔

Then again, the not-quite-so-pixelated Joel model does look really impressive,

So now I guess I will find out that I am really really old...or does anyone else here recognize him?

There’s lots of shotgun ammo to be found...

This is all I ever needed to know. A20 might as well be released right tomorrow.

 

Though, in the greater context, agility suits me a lot better than strength.

If only one could actually pull the trigger on a gun one has not perked to the max...

 I can not see it objectively because it would fit my play style too well, heh. 

Well, who can?

Alright, I am gonna fall for that trap.

Almost exclusively playing MP for the last year and to be honest, somebody pulling a bard instead of getting his active contribution in order is not sitting well with me.

There is a reason why, contrary to tabletop, bards and their like in video games almost  always end up with some completely out-of-role, end-game martial skills that make them OP as hell on their own because otherwise noone would be willing to have them join in the first place.

Raids of multiple dozens of characters notwithstanding. 

I honestly do not think the world urgently needs another ham-fisted attempt at incorporating this model where it does not easily fit - and then making the same mistakes again.

CN is a niche skill because it is absolutely harmless and borderline useless, apt for "the one that always slows the group down anyway". That's an OK niche; why make lazyness a virtue? 

 

I am all for support characters that excel nowhere but, working twice as hard as others, are able to achieve 80% of the efficiency of experts in several fields.  

But the part of the player working twice as hard, then is not optional. Which I do not propose because I have a queer understanding of justness but I consider it an actual part of the fun in playing these characters. 

 

Sorry, I had to vent here. Disclaimer: my opinion and all, not necessarily shared by my government or medical institution.

 

The perk is a must for every self-respecting group enacting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, though. 🙂

Sounds pretty much like you just haven't set up permissions. If it was the old issue with just the rendering failing you'd still get the map controls and all the other information on the page.

I do feel a lot dumber now for a lot of reasons; two of them being that I cannot for the life of me remember setting these in the last game, and then seeing said permissions mentioned here and there and not thinking about... that I might have set them up for the last game.

Thanks aplenty; you were spot on.

Webmap not rendering A18 b155

 

Hi,

since updating to 18 stable - did a complete reinstall using the automated install scripts from Alloc's Website and running mod versions 20/23/33 - the webserver does not render the map anymore.

It does not even show any information other than date, time, x Players, y Hostiles, z Animals to the left.

To the right/ center there is just nothing. IIRC there used to be a table listing e.g. the players but it just stays blank.

When I refresh, for just the tiniest of moments, I can glimpse the headers of said table before the content disappears.

 

Do you have any hint as to what might cause this issue?

The only post I found that might be related is two pages back in this thread, mentioning just having had to wait it out for several hours. Is the webmap just generally taking some time after a new game is started for the first time? That wouldn't explain the missing table, though.
