if a browser still supports the use of flash after adobe stop supporting, will the game be able to be played in that browser or will the download mean there is no choice?
Yes, please allow those of us whose browsers will continue to support flash to run as we are now - maybe a second button "Play legacy mode"
I like the new zone buff, very useful - and I can annoy everyone by playing xmas jingles loud all day :)
In short nope once the client is deployed the only way to play will be through that regardless if the browser still supports the game or not you wont be able to use a browserQuote:

also something major that has been asked on all worlds dozens of times and BB have ignored it is what happens when you play on multiple servers many do even if its just having the test site open while you play a live server the app only opens one window
This client must be downloaded and installed to play the game.
Can we get AIR on Linux platforms?
Currently HARMAN support a custom, old version of the AIR runtime on Linux, with support for Wayland but with some stripped back functionality.
We will see how it works on 32-bit and 64-bit BSD and Linux platforms.
where did you see that?Quote:

Sorry, I didn't see the question. The answer: "No", as soon as the client is there and the server has been rewritten or activated on Adobe Air (Harman), you will no longer come into play without the client. You cannot choose "either client" or "flash", but only the client after activation - even if your flash would still work. At least until the Unity version is finally activated in the new year.
Bad news. Would prefer to play flash browser until Unity is ready. Client doesn't seem to be that great from what I read with it's weird window sizing.Quote:

I'd also ask the same question about the Unity version, as Flash became slower and less stable, it became impossible to play more than 1 world simultaneously without the whole thing falling over.
Already too time consuming having to switch worlds continually, especially during events, where for example you could run the same adventure tabbed and clear a quest on 3-5 worlds almost as quickly as you could on just one.
It would also give us a chance to avoid losing login bonuses etc.. every time you surprise us with a maintenance as you still don't seem to get that we cover multiple time zones and many of us only see the maint message a mere hour or two before the servers go down, and even those closer to home still have explorers sent out on long searches prior to seeing the notice.
It also seems to be inviting trouble starting the Xmas event so late this year.
We'll be one week into it when the Flash changeover is implemented and past history is not good when it comes to new bugs being introduced (even when they're the same ones hotfixed in previous years).
You havent been keeping up Nogbad if they put the the new client into play before the event start wont be any change over you will either play with the app or you wont play wont be a browser version anymoreQuote:

Yes, but well established client. Not some rookie with no previous history, limited in action, probably demanding a new download or update with every new thing in the game etc.. :)Quote:

If event had started at more traditional time, like a week or so before Xmas, we'd just be winding it up as the changeover is due.
Cannot wait to see it finally working under Linux as downloadable app. As you've said, we will see...
Err yes once the new client goes live which is planned before start of event ..clicking play will not open the game in the browser but in the new client wont matter if your browser still works with flash there isnt a choice the client will take over the game ...the BB on the german forums stated the only way to play the game once the client becomes active will be through the clientQuote:

The old 'Slim Browser' client is irrelevant; it is not the client that will be deployed before the start of the xmas event.
The new download client is very much different, and is working on test server.
yes slim browser is defunct so noone needs worry about that not working is all new when it gets released thik would clear up some confusion if BB did sensible thing and remove option to download old slim browser can already see the confusion and shouts when new client goes live some stage this week
will we be able to log on to the client via facebook as i have been unable to switch to my ubisoft account
there's new guides and pictures to follow. try them ones.Quote:

ok so I now disconnected from facebook, and have a legacy account log in! I cannot connect to uplay as it has been linked to a 'lvl 1' account when i tried to sort this all out previously. I have selected to delete the lvl 1 acount which takes 14 days. SO my question is - will i be able to log into the client using my legacy account? or will I be locked out until the 14 days are up and am able to connect my legacy to my uplay account?
If i am locked out then I will miss a large part of the event!
you're in the wrong topic anyway. mail support or read again and see what you've done wrong.Quote:

also PM BB traffer if you'd like
Wrong topic or not be nice to get an answer I bet.Quote:

Thanks, I may have to do that if i am gonna get locked out of the game. I already have a ubisoft account that i use for other things so would be good to keep it all on one account if i can. I have mailed support so will see what they say. If not I guess i wait until the client drops and see what the score is.Quote:
