NQ-Pann

We received feedback that there were some sound effects (SFX) issues that arose with the Apollo update on the Live server; however, they were not happening on the public test server (PTS). Here's where we're at with those: 
The cause for the warp drive sound issue has been identified and will be addressed in an upcoming patch.  We are continuing to investigate an issue related to piloting sounds. 
Thank you to everyone who submitted reports and especially to those who sent in video clips. 

The recent patch included a temporary work-around that corrected the "inventory crash" issue for many but not all users. A more comprehensive fix is in the pipeline and will be released soon. We hope this will squish that bug for good.

Big thanks to all who reported the problem and gave us the information we needed to identify the cause so we could address it. 

All the best to you, Rhotan. Thank you for your service to the DU community.

Greetings, Noveans! I'm NQ-Pann, the latest addition to the stellar (see what I did there?) Dual Universe Community team. It is my esteemed privilege to be here, entering into my second week at Novaquark. 
 
Some of you may know me from previous projects. My MMO journey began as an Ultima Online player. It wasn't long before I began writing for game sites (mostly UO Stratics) and joining the UO volunteer program. This led to my first "real" job in the industry as the original community manager for EVE Online. I've also worked on Tabula Rasa, Auto Assault, Imperium: Galactic War and, most recently, Crowfall. 
 
I'm a native Texan, living in the Austin area with my husband (whom I met in UO!) and our very large, spoiled rotten cat. 
 
My role here will mostly be behind-the-scenes, writing news and blogs. I'll also be the primary point of contact for content creators, so if you stream, make videos, or resources for Dual Universe, I look forward to meeting you soon. 
 
Head over to my AMA thread and let's get acquainted! 

Hi Pann. Welcome.

Hihihi! I'm thrilled to be here as the newest member of the Dual Universe Community team. ICYMI, you can read my introduction post here.
Tell me a little about yourself. What brought you to Dual Universe? 
Ask me anything. I'll answer what I can. 

I joined the TR team about six months prior to its debut at E3. This was when it had a pastel color palette and weird weapons like fans, drumsticks, etc. It wasn't fun and it fell flat at E3. We were crushed, but I can't say we were surprised. Starr Long, the producer, called each member of the team to his office for a 1:1. He asked, "Why wouldn't you buy Tabula Rasa today?" I've had lots of conversations with him since then, but I always come back to this because in that moment my respect for him soared to infinity. How hard that must have been for him, in meeting after meeting, to hear people -- his own team -- list off all the things that were wrong with a game he'd already dedicated X-many years of his life to bring to this point. It had to be gut-wretching, but he did it with grace and humility. You gotta have mad respect for a man like that. 
Like here in my office or in the game, cause I'd be down for a giant disco ball here in Pann's Playhouse. That would be dope! 
Sorry. No way I'd waste skill points on Spirit Speak. An Corp! 
I'm not the boss of the social media team, so I can't assign tasks to them. Plus, that sort of thing isn't really in their wheelhouse. Instead, I can tell you that one of the things I will be doing is overviews of our own live streams. Once I've gotten a little more settled and I'm more involved with the content creator community, I may be able to at least hit the highlights when a member of our team is a guest on a live stream or video. 
I don't have an aversion to pineapple on pizza, but my favorite is a crispy crust with alfredo sauce, mushrooms, black olives, and bell pepper. 
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. ? Seriously, it's on our internal calendar but I'm not able to announce it just yet. Soon™. 
 
Lost Boys kill pirates. Just sayin'.
 
Lake Superior was my play shard, so that was definitely a favorite. I was a seer on Great Lakes, so lots of great memories from there as well. But, I gotta say, my favorite places were the ones you could only get to if you were a volunteer. I remember that one of the GMs had been tweaked so that if you double-clicked on him, you could throw him and he'd blow up like a purple potion. Good times. ?
 
We have a phrase here in the South, "Dance with the one that brung ya", meaning that you should devote your attention to the person that brought you to the party. I guess that's how I feel about games, too. When I'm working on a game, I don't really play anything else (unless it's some silly little mobile game like Candy Crush). I'd been working on Crowfall for the last five years so that's what I was playing. I'm the n00biest of the n00bs in Dual Universe now, looking forward to learning the ins and outs from all of you.
 
 Speaking frankly, these won't ever be the kinds of questions I'll be able to answer. My role is mostly behind the scenes, writing things and working with the content creator community. 
 
Pann. It's the name I used as a UO volunteer and I've been using it ever since. 
 

Why did you choose Pann as a name? Is it a reference to something?

Thanks for sharing this, both sad, but something to learn from.
 
And... to be super honest, I glad you have such "crisis" experience, because Dual Universe too has pretty troubled development, with patches of serious alienation betwen devs and community perceptions of things. Something I hope CM team reinforcements (with fresh eyes, brains and energy) help to eventualy mend. 

o/. I'm coming from Eve. Eve made me grow a passion for single shard sandbox MMOs. Few days in alpha made me decide DU will be the only other game in the same genre, and given enough time and development it can be miles ahead. I really hope that happens.
 
Are there other ex-CCP'ers in NQ? Particularly early-CCP'ers at the design side. The very idea of that game was a big leap in gaming and MMOs. I believe developing a single shard sandbox MMO puts a company in an extremely unique position, relative to others in the gaming industry. Wondering how much of that experience will transfer here.

Tabula Rasa was awesome! We tried everything to get hold of the source code for that to keep it going!
 
Good to have you here

disco lights when?

Q: Can you get the social media team to centrally gather links to all dev interviews with summaries of their information after they happen, so that new info doesnt spread over the universe.

Ill introduce myself too!

I'm Samlow, or Anointed in wow. Im a long time gamer, and love these kind of games. Minecraft Infinite Skyblock, 4x, MMOs, love the long plays. I've been on the From the Depths dev team (indy company) for a year during its alpha phase as a game systems concept designer. The love of that game sparked my interest in this game as a Voxel builder thats not just tournaments and singleplayer.

Currently Im working as a Video Producer and Director, due to covid with a focus on virtual and remote productions.
Oh and Im dutch
