Hi everyone,
We're missing a couple of our usual responders today (darn those scheduled vacations), so we're going to be a little shorthanded. Have no fear though - we'll do our best to answer as many questions as possible in the hour or so we have together.
To help, here are some answers/updates to some very common questions:
You guys working on an Android app yet?
Yes! We have finally started building one. I have no idea how long it'll take to make, but we're officially working on it.
What's the latest on zOMG?
I can't promise anything (cue all regulars taking a drink of their preferred beverage), but we're officially exploring ways to get the servers recycled automatically. I don't want people to get too excited b/c we might not be able to, but we're at least officially putting effort into it.
When's the next manga update coming out?
Incredibly soon (maybe tomorrow). In the meantime, I'll see if I can post a very quick snippet/preview/something.
Also, here are a couple of tips to increase the odds we'll respond to your question:
Be specific in your question. "Why does X suck?" doesn't really give us much to answer or help us make it better.
-Be brief. I can tend to ramble myself, but when we're looking through hundreds of questions in an hour, it's very easy to skip those that are two paragraphs asking 5 different questions.
-Don't focus on a bug you found. It's totally fine to tell us about one if you want, but we're too busy answering questions to look into them during ATA. It's much more effective to use the
Bug Reports and Technical Support forum.
-We don't typically talk specifically about upcoming item releases, or whether we'll eventually make a certain item
smile
-Don't ask something that's already been asked/addressed multiple times.
-And finally, please don't keep re-posting your question over and over. I get that everyone wants their question answered, but seeing the same one repeatedly is tiresome for both us and other attendees, making us less likely to answer.
