| 02:33.33 | ShaunO`work | i got put into a matched wf last night rank 5-8 as a rank 4 lol |
| 02:38.36 | seebs | Huh, I simultaneously lose access to Faeblight and to the forums. |
| 02:39.21 | seebs | It's true! The shard mergers were our warning that Trion was shutting down! |
| 03:00.02 | Hyperi | huh ? |
| 03:01.37 | seebs | I lost all network connectivity to basically all Trion stuff at once, so I made fun of doomsayers. |

| 18:12.49 | lXl1 | Take 4 drives, throw a RAID 10 and RAID 5 together on them, LVM them together = ??? |
| 18:19.59 | seebs | That's insane. |
| 18:20.19 | lXl1 | It's on SAS drives too |
| 18:25.39 | seebs | It doesn't seem like this would provide much marginal benefit on 4 drives. |
| 18:25.47 | lXl1 | It really has no benefit |
| 18:26.03 | lXl1 | I wonder how that would affect the actual volume |
| 18:26.25 | lXl1 | Since the RAID10 would have different read/write than any data with the RAID 5 |
| 18:26.29 | seebs | I'd expect pathological performance. |
| 18:43.21 | seebs | It's interesting that there's been no answer as to whether the new wedding feature will allow same-sex marriages. I'm guessing that Kira and Uriel will vote for "yes", though. |
| 18:43.45 | lXl1 | Wedding... feature? |

| 18:44.25 | seebs | 1.7 adds weddings. |
| 18:44.36 | seebs | A lot of RPers have asked for it, it's not too hard to do. |
| 18:45.54 | Hyperi | weddings wtf |
| 18:46.51 | seebs | It's not a new idea, a couple of other MMOs had game mechanical support of some sort for it. |
| 18:47.03 | lXl1 | 1.7 has nothing really new? |
| 18:47.14 | Hyperi | Raids made lil different? |
| 18:47.18 | seebs | Well, let's see. Massive addon API updates, complete reworking of the entire endgame. |
| 18:47.23 | seebs | Plus a bunch of other stuff. |
| 18:47.32 | seebs | PvP ranks are different, endgame progression is different. |
| 18:47.43 | seebs | But for me? The weddings and the API changes are the big stuff. :P |
| 18:48.06 | lXl1 | Ah.. there's a new raid? |
| 18:48.21 | seebs | Dunno. There might or might not be; one is being tested but I don't know if it'll be in 1.7. |
| 18:48.34 | lXl1 | I thought 1.7 was suppose to be pretty PvP oriented |
| 18:48.39 | seebs | The big endgame change is that they're basically redoing all the pre-HK itemization and changing the way experts work. |
| 18:48.44 | lXl1 | Rift really could do for being pushed towards RvR |
| 18:49.22 | seebs | They seem pretty resistant to that, not sure why. Possibly because the only proposals anyone makes are proposals that would piss off PvE-only players. |
| 18:49.35 | seebs | I'd really like to see credible RvR proposals that don't start with angry demands for a forced-flag zone. |
| 18:49.37 | lXl1 | Well people actually still progress through RoS and GS so end game doesn't seem that terrible |
| 18:49.58 | seebs | The big thing they want to do is smooth the progression so there's less of a big bump at HK. |
| 18:50.25 | seebs | But experts are now just all experts, rather than T1/T2 experts. |
| 18:50.37 | Hyperi | Has the difficulty changes? |
| 18:50.39 | lXl1 | If they want to stay more PvE then they should make more extreme versions of EI then.. they need something open world instead of easy minigames stomping through zones |
| 18:50.39 | Hyperi | changed* |
| 18:50.42 | seebs | It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. |
| 18:50.49 | Hyperi | Or old T2s are as easy as T1 now ? |
| 18:50.56 | Hyperi | Though I still think some of the T1 are harder than some of the T2 .P |
| 18:50.59 | lXl1 | T2 is easy anyway |
| 18:51.06 | seebs | I think the plan is that things will be variously tweaked, so they may be sort of in between T1/T2 difficulties. |
| 18:51.18 | seebs | I gotta say, throwing the RPers a bone is a really good idea economically. |
| 18:51.19 | lXl1 | Buy a couple of purples in AH and you can walk into T2 in quest gear |
| 18:51.37 | seebs | There aren't all that many RPers, but they are fanatically loyal, and never leave over endgame or PvP balance qq. |
| 18:51.55 | lXl1 | A lot of the people I know playing TOR thought Rift was a pretty well made game, just nothing worthwhile to do in it |
| 18:52.16 | lXl1 | So the dungeon > raid model isn't really working to draw people in, especially since they did that in WoW for years (which is another thing they mention)' |
| 18:52.46 | seebs | Yeah. I think that's one of the reasons to have more open world stuff like the ember isle invasion stuff. And also to toss in RP-oriented content. |
| 18:53.04 | lXl1 | Instancing worked to fill a temporary problem in MMOs but it's outstayed its welcome |
| 18:54.05 | lXl1 | IMO MMOs should sway towards open world and phasing more, and be sparing on instanced zones |
| 18:56.50 | seebs | I dunno. CoH gets huge benefit from it, because instancing means you can have a difficulty slider. |
| 18:56.54 | seebs | Difficulty slider is love. |
| 18:58.15 | seebs | I hated WoW's phasing, it bugged me less in CoH where it seemed to me to work better. |
| 18:58.33 | lXl1 | Well, go into "dungeon", but it just spawns mobs for you |
| 18:58.44 | lXl1 | Like quantum sight raids |
| 18:58.50 | lXl1 | Those are nice |
