There’s also some solace in the fact that 1.19 was a required viewer update, so theoretically it will be a while before there is another.

I just created VWR-6256 Meta-issue: Bugs that effect C:SI Combat Samurai Island http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6256 to keep track of all bugs that effect C:SI. If you know of any other bugs please start linking as related! Go go go! xD

Please cite non-theoretically-broken landmarks and items (i.e. where vended from) and I’ll have a look. ”

Ehhh? WTF someone wanna clear what what he/she is talking about for me?

That really sounds like a brush-off, and kind of snide, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to the problem of using a comment system to communicate.

So here’s how I replied to him :

Tofu, you are partially correct. While Combat: Samurai Island (C:SI) is not “broken” in terms of becoming non-functional as I had first feared, this still causes us some trouble and added customer support issues, because double-tap to run is the same key combination used to dash in C:SI, and when a person dashes in C:SI they lose some of their limited stamina. In addition to dash, there are new combat moves that are initiated with the double-tap that will now have to be assigned a much less intuitive key combination, if one can even be found since we are already having to “get creative” to work around the issue of limited LSL access to keys.

C:SI currently has more than sixteen thousand customers, and is growing by approximately a thousand customers a month. Without having any way to know for certain, I’d speculate that the majority of those are not hard-core enthusiasts who fight on a daily basis, and probably aren’t exposed to the “common wisdom” of the C:SI community on how to get around some of SL’s quirks to get the most out of a C:SI product. That majority will (extrapolating to newer future customers) likely think that C:SI developers were stupid to have chosen a key combination for dash that they could otherwise use to run, therefore making it so that you cannot run using C:SI products

I understand that you probably are not terribly interested in sword combat in SL, and probably will not be motivated to try it out long enough to really get a feel for how many things LL has recently done adversely affect the system, but rather than ask you to go to a vendor I’ll send you a weapon in-world so that you can see what I mean.

If for some reason you prefer to receive a weapon from a vendor, I have several vendor locations listed in my picks, but will also send you a landmark.

“Tofu Linden – 11/Apr/08 01:53 AM I’ll talk to some folks here about what to do with tap-tap-hold, based on the feedback.”

You know, I felt so damn compelled to say something in response to that but I had to hold back. I mean its like “Oh really? Well thats awful bold of you.” gah!

They need to get over the whole “this makes something crash?” mentality and read the f’ing reports. It’s been explained quite clearly and re-iterated in a number of ways.

RTFC, Linden Lab, RTFC!!!

Tofu Linden – 16/Apr/08 07:26 AM
We’ve come to this plan of action (probably for RC2) based on feedback and discussion:
* This will default to ‘On’
* A persistent ‘advanced’ option will be added to allow it to be disabled.

Shit like that makes me sick and pisses me off. Does anyone know the number of a good slap’a'fool service?

Dude you have no idea how pissed off I am right now.

I just really hope that it wont interfere with the CSI weapons. Is there any possibility that it might screw with new combo ideas you guys had?

What I don’t get is how, after over 160 votes, its still not officially assigned to any of the lindens.

Anyway tofu said that there will be an option to completely turn it off so i’m curious how complete that turning it off will really be.

Basically this is “Lab-speak” for : “Disingenuous bullshit blah blah blah I can’t hear you blah blah blah gonna do whatever we want blah blah blah ain’t fixin’ nuthin.”

So I just noticed that there is indeed an option to toggle this new feature: Advanced->Character->Tap-Tap-Hold to Run.
