I've got all the tools.  How do I tilt a plane to an angle?  The line tool really leaves a lot to be desired. 

Once I create and fill my selection, I can then copy and paste it.  However, there are only four positions for each of the three axes.  Is there a way to change it so the scroll wheel turns less than 90 degrees each turn?

There is some site named "The Adult Gamer" (don't think there's boobies though) that has some videos of people doing stuff.  I watched one and it was helpful.  I think there's stuff about the line tool, too.

From what it looks like all servers will be linked, so everyone can visit everyone regardless of where their claims are, including EU or NA servers. I guess it'll be the same for "guilds". That's really neat.

You don't. There's only 90º rotation on the tools. That's why people are trying to do such insane things with the line tool which pretty much sucks.

You can also use the triangle shaped blocks and rotate them around to create lines at angles. You may not get exactly what you want that way, but that's how people create roofs or diamond shapes..

I'm glad I'm awesome at something - even if it's accidental.  I don't know I didn't see it since I had it on that channel.  I saw Palmer log in but he's anti-social and all that.  I might have called him a misanthropic bastard.  Or maybe I just said that out loud.  I found a claim on that Serenity server on the Highland world because I think that's where Sky and other f13 people went.  They're going to be doing that phase one thingy soon I think, which might mean we can band together and go for world domination.  You can be the World Dominatrix.  I have a feeling it might suit you.  Anyway, I don't know if we would need to be on the same server and world to have a group or a guild or a whatever.  I guess I should go read something.

I'm pretty sure the chat channels are bugged because I am watching them and I've literally never seen anyone say anything except for one time when Pennilenko and I had a conversation.

I wrote "Signe!" in all possible ways (Seriously, I used caps, symbols and all sorts of spam) but got no response whatsoever. This is really messed up. Seems I can only communicate with Darniaq.

With DQ? Not too bad of a plane, I'd say. Although he's probably stuck in it with me.

Yea jeezus people, why am I the only in f13 chat right now?

Chat's kinda borked. Queue "alpha". For me "/join f13" meant creating a new chat channel on channel #7. If you have click "Default" in your chat window you'll see chatter in F13 (if any) as "7. F13" in the twitter feed genchat is becoming (it's not as bad as Barrens/EC Tunnel but it's getting there). Convenienlty the game also automatically creates an F13 TAB in your chat window.

Unconventiently, it doesn't tell you that.

But the channel is there. And occasionally you'll find Falc and I waxing loquacious in it smiley

I don't see any General Chat, never have. As I said, I've only seen Quinton actually speak in there, and I think he saw mine. I do see joins and leaves.

I only saw the General Chat on the day the game was launched. Then it vanished. Forever. I assumed people weren't talking and the whole server was too busy building and mining and chatting in private channel, but it doesn't make much sense, I know.

I think I saw general before but now it's default, loot and f13.  Loot is busy so I'm glad it's separate, but I'd like to combine default and f13 since there's not much going on in the world.  Having said that, it looks as if they're going to address some of this in the Phase 1 update - "We’re also allowing groups so it’s easy to have a private chat channel and see each other on the map".  They're even adding their own Voice over Internet.  I think all this is happening soon, too.

The default tab shows chat from all channels together. The individual tabs are for isolating just that chat.

I can see Lefteye (Drew) and Palmer log in and out but when I say something I don't think anyone sees it.  It must be me.  I wonder what I'm doing wrong?  I found Sky's place.  He had left all his lights on so I turned them off.  For some reason he left all his deep dark sex dungeon lights off so I turned them on.  I used his tools.  I touched all his stuff and went through his sock drawer.  Now I might go rummage through Drew's drawers.  Who knows what I'll find there!?!

I have my eyes peeled on the f13 chat every time I am in game and I say "hi!" every single time. It is obvious at this point that it doesn't work. Except for me and Darniaq, qith each other. Weird.

About my socks, just go on the Courage server, Crest (tier 1) island, northeastern corner. There's some sort of a hill that I've built a well and a broken rampart on. I want to leave it like that on the top, so I am working on the dunegon, underground. I am slow though and I don't want to invest too much in what will get wiped and will inevitably break my heart. All you are gonna find down there anyway is a cozy room with pillows and a table with some chair. Oh and a strange aquamarine half-globe that I use to tell the weather. Just to clarify, I am loving this but I have the building skills of a five years old. Maybe that's why I am so forgiving.

The spot I found the other day was the only one on Serenity that I could find with a bit of greenery and only one giant tree that can't be removed.  So far I made it flat-ish in places.  Strangely, the spot I found is in the same area that Sky built his and so close I could throw rocks at it from my front perch.  Since I used his stuff, I wanted to leave a fancy mug in his torture sex dungeon but the game wouldn't let me.  So my plot is east and a bit north from Skys.  There's nothing on it.  If someone comes visit, I'll make a chair.  Bring your own mug.

There is downtime to fix some stuff at the moment.  Not the chat, I don't think though.

That downtime was to roll out this update. Bug and nuisance fixes mostly, some of which even affect me, which is odd. Normally MMO bug fixes are about items I didn't know existed for classes I don't play at levels I'll never achieve smiley


Oh, also, their weekly Landmark Live episode

And they revised the Pulverizer to combine #2 and 3 (which coincidentally was what I voted for)

I started experimenting with all that micro-voxel stuff. Some pretty crazy lattice works are possible. I'm curious if it's a glitch or intended. My two tower templates are complete, and I'm kinda figuring out a theme as I go. Maybe I'll post a pic if I don't think it'll be embarassing.

The thing I like most about this creation engine is it's a great blend of tools you don't need to master in order to dabble with something that might send you down a creative track even if you have no idea what you want when you start.

If you stick to the basic primitives, you'll end up with stuff that looks the same as everyone else's, but still looks pretty good within the world (like that recent town pic from Falc's post: a good amount of work, but doesn't push the bounds on the tools like that earlier town which had a Borderlands feel).

But on the other end are dragons wrapping around towers, Statue of Liberty standins and other things I'm getting the sense even SOE wasn't sure was possible.

The geometries don't interact as predictably as I'm used to in CADD environments. But most of that is solvable with Undo smiley

Jeezus. I had seen the third one earlier in the thread, but all of these, that's crazy talent. Not even so much to power through how the tools work, but to be able to sculpt in 3D space like that. I've never been that kind of artist. I could barely draw some of those smiley
