I'm confused by how this side by side will work

Posted by ty97 Oct 28 '08, 21:32

since they will have different data? Will they have different stock values?

Responses:

I assume we're accessing the same port... but with different interfaces. No? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:40 15
- Yeah, it's like Slacker Talk... and the losers on Slicker Talk -- nm - secretslacker Oct 29, 04:13
- Sounds like no, not even close. Beta won't count, I guess, at all -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 21:45
- I wouldn't expect such. Not if Beta HSX has any schmoozing or such left in it. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:41 12
  - So at some point down the road, we've got a Sophie's Choice to make between the Classic Port and the Beta Port? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:42 11
    - I don't think that we will be given a choice. - 'lia Oct 28, 21:49 3
      - interesting -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:05
      - heh, well if that was the case, V2 just pulled the bottom out of the cage and everything fell out. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 21:58
      - Neopets traffic is on a downward spiral as well. - Qale Oct 28, 21:57
    - I think the decision has already been made they are restting classic ports with no mention of beta ports, so is safe to assume those will mean more. -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:49
    - The way it reads to me is that the Beta Port won't count and is only being used for testing. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:48 5
      - It's not gonna work. - Mop Oct 28, 21:52 4
        
        We don't want a workable V2. We want V2 to die. This is one step closer to that reality in my opinion. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:55 3
        
        They're going to switch back to V2 eventually, regardless. Which is why I'm staying right here. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 22:03 2
        
        Depending on how severely altered, V2 may not be the same creature at that time. - Qale Oct 28, 22:16 1
        
        Frankly, most of the issues I had with v2 had been fixed this week ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 22:29
It's not going to "work". They're only doing it to regain income while they figure out what to do with V2. They're going to do any side-by-side - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:35 4
- sb "NOT going to any side by side....." -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:36 3
  - they said they were setting things back to what they were before the switch, I assume this includes port values besides stock values. They called it - Stacy Oct 28, 21:39 2
    - ah, then they're admitting complete and utter failure without apologizing. -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:40 1
      - *ding* -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:41
They should. - psilotum Oct 28, 21:33
Just like the closed beta only open -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:33 6
- which port will 'count' when the official (re-)cutover happens? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 21:34 5
  - Classic. With my suggestion, the "cutover" would be the final dump. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:34
  - My gut would say classic would be imported into beta when it goes out of beta -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:34 3
    - I think they need to make that VERY clear - ty97 Oct 28, 21:39 1
      - If they make it explicitly clear, then no one will play Beta. God, they're screwing up the "fix"! - Mop Oct 28, 21:48
    - agreed -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:36
If it was me (and I demand my fee for even suggesting this) I'd treat it like the Intersect, with occasional dumps from Classic to Beta -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:33
