Inworld Meeting with Philip Linden and BK Linden - 2010-07-30

[metatraveler]

Thank you Philip Linden, you're a great dream builder. And your prudent decisions made SL a reliable dream.

I think changes such as enhanced viewer functions, destination guide, alpha layer, and mesh are definitely beneficial improvements.

[ChristopherStokes666]

make a way for us griefs to have our own places and sim s to griefff in. i see people like to be slaves and kids, horses so why not people who wanna be griefed?

every think of that. and theres alota people who r rude here and do push and mess w my av. so i fight back.. because you do not

[bettyd3345]

My opinion on viewer 2 is, i like it but during a RP it sucks , because i cant hear sounds i got fired four times because of it. And I got tired of it, so i switched viewers and its alot better now

[dgibson1313]

Why do the Lindens insist on looking like noobs who just fell out of a freebie dungeon after a night of heavy drinking? It would be much better advertising if they took the time to get decent skin, shapes, and hair. They don't have to be human avatars, but at least something that is high quality.

And get some AO's or at least fix the default run/walk/stand, for pity's sake.

[mozypera]

Applause! Applause! Very interesting and informative and I am glad I tuned in. I do believe Philip is on the right track here with his mission and goals for the future of SecondLife. This platform will indeed - soon play a "key role" in our digital society and it should be molded and shaped with great care and attention to detail - just as he is describing here. SL is magical.... wonderful...amazing & complex.... I love it!

[TheSupertudor]

what the fuck one of the owners of sl looks like a noob! lol

secondlife unsupported roboboot, expulsion and suspension unfair, land prices high, copyboot, every day people remove secondlife, abandoned land, doubts secondlife people back.

[IzzyBunneh]

OH! and a kind of paint brush tool for land would be great, where we can specify exactly where we want sand or grass etc to be, a "auto align" texture option, where you can select multiple faces of separate prims, an set an option that auto aligns all the textures ( i know this exists on other viewers already too )

[IzzyBunneh]

also if it's feasible, allow us to build higher than 4k~ ^ ^

[IzzyBunneh]

fix the transparency issue pleeeease~ add support for megaprims, take away this 10x10x10 thing, allow us to add qualities to see through prims taht hide all avatars/primitives beyond it... uhm... multiple attachment points! i'll think of more later probably xD

[IzzyBunneh]

as a content creator i'd like: add more base default primitives, add profile cut/other tools to ALL shapes, allow us to hollow along all axises, allow us to taper along all axises... let us set unique windlight settings for our sims/parcels that others will see

allow us to parcel off not just land but regions of sky too, allow us to create land/water far wherever we want int he sim, including at 3000feet or whutever :o

[neotoy]

Lol, I can just picture all the self-proclaimed SL "fashionistas" clamoring to give Philip a virtual makover. It still won't change the fact that SL avatars look and move like they're from 2001 and that nothing fits right because the skinning system sucks.

Good talk though, we'll see if throwing around a lot of buzz words actually gets results.

[larkinam]

Thanks for posting this meeting. Nice to actually what's going on.

[wolfeedarkfang]

My opinion on viewer 2 is to make it friendlier to us older users, please allow us to use the old UI as a preference option. No side bar. No toast windows. Just the classic UI. Have a toggle switch Like how we could before switch from the grey/blue eckard logo interface to the dazzle ui. Then i may have a reason to stop using emerald. :P

[BritishConcept]

I think the most important changes that need to be implemented to improve the new user experience are:

-Update default animations, they need to be smoother and more natural.

-Update avatar meshes (give people the option to switch back the old ones).

For myself personally, I would like to see:

-Import mesh support (glad you're still working on this).

-Seamless transition between between sims.

[KorbenNightfire]

Why does the CEO always look like a noob?

[wolfeedarkfang]

@KorbenNightfire Yea i know he hasn't updated his avatar since i started SL which was mid 2004 lol.

[Nerolus]

@KorbenNightfire Because he keeps it Classic :P He does say he needs and plans on getting a makeover which is amazing haha.

[itsbradmadaris]

@KorbenNightfire Uhm well appearance isn't everything.

He doesn't want to be like everyone else.

He's different. He wants to be different.

Would it matter if the best of your designers on MG looked noobish? Would it stop you using their products? Probably no..

Same thing applies to Phillip.

Just leave him alone.

[KorbenNightfire]

@itsbradmadaris dude relax I wasnt being offensive I was just taking notice .. and making a light joke I like Phillip so..chill the hell out

[ostrvo]

@KorbenNightfire

What do you expect from developers, to look cool?

...naahhhh =)

Anyway thanks all for this beautiful game.
