Supporting Jasmine in this episode guys :) Love the show, but I seriously feel like she has a big point. The idea of a game is to play the game, and the journey is a big part of the game. It's as if buying an offline title and paying extra money to just see the ending, what's the point? I prefer the idea of putting in the same amount of money as other people and having my chance to play more, and be rewarded more. It's only fair, and the whole point of MMOs has been put in time and you get rewarded. If you can only play for 2 hours a day then that's fine, but you'll need to find others to play with that have a similar schedule.
I really prefer the idea of "Yeah I had to try a few times but I downed the boss and got the shield drop" rather than "Yeah I had to try a few times but I finally put my CC# in properly and got the shield" :)
SOE President Helps Squash Fony's DCUO Bug
Sony Online Entertainment has fixed the DC Universe Online bug that Mike B. aka Fony dealt with in BFF Report episode 51. Fony explains how he became BFFs with SOE's John Smedley in the latest TWIMMO!
As you may remember, Mike B. aka Fony ran into some technical difficulties while playing the DC Universe Online beta for BFF Report episode 51. A bug involving teleporting enemies kept Fony from completely covering the game, which resulted in a very short episode. This bug ultimately allowed Fony and Sony Online Entertainment President john Smedley to become best friends forever... at least that's how Fony puts it in the latest episode of This Week in MMO over at GameBreaker.TV.
Fony recently received a conference call from SOE tech support in an attempt to sqaush the bug, and he was surprised to discover that Smedley was on the other end of the line. The call lasted about an hour, and SOE decided to build an exact replica of Fony's machine to find out what was causing the error.
Upon further investigation, SOE was able to implement a fix for the teleporting mobs bug. Fony has confirmed that the live version of DC Universe Online works on his computer, and he will be featuring the game in a future episode of the BFF Report.
For more details on Fony's interaction with SOE tech support and Smedley, check out the first 15 minutes of TWIMMO episode 31 after the jump. Keep watching for discussions on League of Legends, Lord of the Rings Online, Champions Online and more!
