Miasma death party!
« on: February 04, 2012, 04:19:12 am »
So this is the result of a bug, but still... I think this is what vengeful ghosts do on a Saturday night.  I've wound up trapped in the tiny chunk that you appear in after starting a mission with twelve vengeful ghosts.  The upload images button doesn't seem to be working for some reason, but the picture is attached.

Better call the Ghostbusters!
This has happened to me too, I've had a ton of crashed landspeeders spawn in the mission start chunk too.

Well, the couple on the right seem to be enjoying the party, as does the dude in the dinner jacket!

Maybe we need to have chunks with enough of the ghosts to spawn a dinner table that they all hover around until you get in range.  Or a dance floor, etc.  They probably wouldn't notice that the miasma is too monochromatic for a disco.

They look too uptight for a disco the way they stand, I think we should ask Pablo if he can write a waltz

Even they don't like lawsuits.

companies are not unkillable, unless you are complicit to their existence...

I reckon they won't be too much trouble, they'd just spend their time trying to target the ice pirates

Eventually they'd get frustrated and start dropping large chunks of Vengeful DRM on legitimate customers so they can feel better.
