I honestly didnt expect to illicit 'cheeky bun' pics - theyre impressive though...the pics I mean ..well yes....
Meanwhile I have masses of crates containing megas its just easier to summon one up rather than rummage through them all.... but the megaprim site is a superb resource...be a shame to lose it
Doesnt counter my argument that the inworld building system is become dull and stagnant... mesh was an easy cop out for lindens....
-
Has the Megaprim .sl site been shut down I've not been able to log in for a couple of days... Real shame if the sites gone its a really useful building resource... Of course it might not be necessary if Lindens gave us a decent size of prim at least 150m... at the same time perhaps they could try tackling the totalling stagnant in world building system and sort out 99% hollowing too !!
-
Looks a bit 'retro'...like an old apollo return module with a solar panel array...is this really the 'next gen' ?? Bit cramped for a trip to mars too Id have said......
-
Doesnt it p*** you off that sl engineers can fiddle around with this but lag doesnt improve...tp crashes are as bad if not worse than ever...stable regional boundary crosses in vehicles are still near impossible...the inword building system is stuck in a state of stagnancy....
This to me is another one of those useless projects which will mean very little to the majority of sl users...
How about some useful technical imprivements for those of us who like to build INWORLD..i.e. 99% hollowing, increasing the size of prims to 100 metres, increasing the range of prim shapes to include triangles and other polygons and the ways all prims can be cut twisted tapered etc not just across a few axes but all axes...
And how about some useful changes for long term loyal PAYING customers...an increase in the free land allowance.. across the board tier reductions and increase in the tier points which means if you have a large area of land and would like to add a smaller amount rather than taking a vast jumpi in tier you can... ??
How about setting tier rates and premiums for non us customers who want to pay through paypal without having to exchange currencies...Why do we have to pay in dollars...lets have sl prices in pounds, euros, yen, etc....
I really am astounded by the lack of ideas coming from sl....
-
This is the big announcement ??? What a load of rubbish...
What about something which would benefit long term loyal users - lower tiers...improved quality of service....
A new CEO new tat....

Interesting that on another thread a user claims shes having the same problem as the person who started this thread....its intriguing what she has to say
'Yes, the viewer freezes because your connection is dropped. I had a similar problem about a week ago, but it lasted for a couples days only. I found out that SL network was sending bogus packets to my modem, trashing the connection until it dropped.'
They were doing something like this last year .....
-
Sounds like Im having the same problem...how did you discover what was causing the problem ? i.e. that it originated from sl ??
-
Oh and if the op happens to be paying premium membership and tier I think its pretty poor that lindens wouldnt care about his 'rant' ...and its a damn pretty shoddy show that Lindens dont use their own forums as mouthpiece.... probably because they know a large number of users would want to remonstrate vigourously and get some of their questions and concerns answered....
-
How are you pray to what the majority are experiencing...
Im having the same problems as the op and more besides....tps not working , lag at an appalling level crashes up to the worst level in the seven years Ive been here.... and if its down to this new server system I say put it back to how it was.....oh and I know quite a few more having the same problem....
-
I think my copmlaimt ...err complaint was entirely reasonable as no doubt do those others who do not access twitter but wish to see what big brother has to say.... However I may be judging harsly based on rod humbles record number of posts on this forum....
Im sure that Ebbe will rush over here to say hello as soon as he gets chance and shield 'useful' questions about tiers, the current state of sl technically and everything else we want to put to him...
In fact I'll take your word as a guarantee that as soon as he gets the proper access he'll come post haste and say hi....
-
Funny Im pointing out the same thing about yours ......And my complaint is that he's not posting here not that he is ....
-
So basically youre saying he's the genuine guy therefore why are you whining about him posting here ??
-
Oh so youre saying the guy on twitter is a fake ???
-
And considering that you can't even use the name of Britains favourite timelord on the forum I dont think anyones going to last long using the name of the company's CEO...
-
Presumably the same way people know its him on twitter.....
-
And are you vying for position as his p.a. ??
-
So why cant he say whatever he has to say on the sl forum ?? I dont work for lindens I dont let it stop me posting here.... and the man cant begin to - at the very least - post some of his hopes, ideas and possible plans here ??
-
I dont think using some non sl based messenger is a good start personally... he should be posting here....I believe humble managed one post after pressure was applied.....
-
Hey Jo heres a wild idea how about lindens actually providing us with mesh studio or something like it that enable us to build in sl and not just with the same set of basic prims or building techniques??
In my book Im paying for Lindens to be providing the stuff to build in sl and the instruction to use it.... theres a little to much sitting back and not help sl users on the part of lindens...
-
Id say get and do something to boost the inworld building system and cut the stagnation thats crept in.... we aren't all computer whizzes and we dont all want to use mesh software which we cant use in world, which requires the brain of sheldon cooper to work out and whose end products cost us extra to import without being able to see the end results
Lets see some new features on the building menu please...
And then of course tiers need a dramatic revision and I dont mean just price cuts although they are long overdue...we should all be able to pay through pay pal in our own currency...prices can then be used to reflect local 'changes' like v.a.t.
An increase in payment points on the land charges would be good too...some of us may want more than half or three quarters of a region but may not want to jump all the way to the next level. Why not allow members to obtain land at an extra 1024 sq m a time ??
Some useful recognition of loyalty ( i.e paying for lindens 'services' for a long term period) would be much appreciated and is again long overdue...512 sq m of free land is useless to a long time sl user who got the 'building bug' - up it to 1024 at the very minimum and increase it again for each year that a premium member has been in sl - you can keep your free baubles I can obtain those easily enough if I want to and they dont impress me at all.
-
Heres what residents of sl mean to the company..... I believe these two almost got the job after Humble left....
-
Well I hope admidst the lick spittles and kiss asses there were some much needed demands for an improvement in sl service at all levels on the customer treatment front and on the quality of service side too.....
-
Hearing he's from sweden did make me smile though as one of my great sources of inspiration is also swedish...
-
same here........personally I think theyre scared of having there words open to comment from the very people who pay their wages.....

Ive got salt hud very useful but occasionally megaprim sl used to come up with ones that salt didnt have...Prim search is good, it's a while since I used it though because megaprim sl always seemed to have more.
Suggestions for in world building Ive got loads of 'em. For a start increase the variety of prim shapes with a seperate menu for polygons ..it should be a lot easier task to define a type of triangle for example - the formula for making an equiateral is a nightmare.
Increase prim size - 64 is hopeless especially when youre working on a project like a space station...
How about tapering along any axes ... at the moment tapering is very restricted...
Hollowing?? Cant we get it increased to 99% please.... Walls using megaprims are so thick at 95% An increase in hollowing would be a major boon in my opinion.
Text on prims ??
And how about being able to cut prims along a selected line or between a set of points marked on the prim ...
I dont want to make mesh and pay even more to import and then not be sure if its going to be right...In my book I pay enough in tiers and membership to have to pay even more to find building software and then again to bring in the items I build into sl. I want to build in world as Ive said before I want to put on a space suit to build a space station or scuba gear to construct an underwater station not sit puzzling over some vastly complex mest software which doesnt need me to be inworld at all. If I was going to learn how to use complex mesh software I might as well have gone and done computer studies in college. Mesh software takes you out of sl... I really cant understand why lindens gave it so much time.....while ignoring the building system at hand.
