Once more unto the breach, it seems.
And yes, I sort of EXPECTED that hauling tombstones to community lots would work terrible. I mean, the concept is fundamentally flawed at its core. A tombstone functions as a tombstone not only because of its tombstone-ness, but also because of attributes imprinted upon the tombstone, some of which are lot-specific attributes and are meaningless if removed or simply copied verbatim.
In order to be able to move an object, any object, via "inventory", the tombstone would have to record all of its attributes. So would any similar object being moved. Some of these attributes would have to then be altered on a case-by-case basis. The very idea that this could ever work is absurd!
Countdown to arrival: 6-8 weeks.
What you only get it in 6-8 weeks I want to buy NL next week but would like it fixed first, shoot now i have to wait or live with the bugs.

Well hello Virgali, nice to see you again :D
Twain, your patience honors you, but it's unfortunately not good enough for the average official board resident. They don't seem to understand that a game that shows bugs/glitches right off the bat will only get worse if you play longer. I thought Uni was just about the buggiest, unsupported game I've ever come across, but at least the nasty bugs didn't rear their ugly heads until about 5 days into the game's release. All you get is the same old, same old:
"hacks/downloads/custom content screws up the game"
"I NEVER had a bug in my game, so it stands to reason that you are all hallucinating"
"Maxis does such hard work, loves us, etc., let's worship the ground they walk on"
"ea/maxis is giving us a great game out of the goodness of their heart...money? what money"
"it's the evil boolprop (or woolprop ;))"
"ea/maxis didn't have enough time to fix uni"
"[insert own quotes]"
The grand price goes to tetametamushheadwhatever: "Brazil is getting before the US? It MUST be a pirated/black market copy" Yeah, all the retailers in Brazil are brazenly selling pirate/black-market copies, mmhmm...bad bad Brazil.
Tombstones appearing on the sidewalk initially is not a bug. However, if they keep on re-appearing on the sidewalk after leaving and re-entering the lot, that is most certainly a bug. Especially if it happens on community lots. Buy/Build mode is greyed out when playing, so if the gravestones are on the side-walk, that can't possibly be meant to be happening.
However, (again) I will wait and see. If JM gets his game in 6-8 weeks, that will mean I shall put it on my birthday wish list. My next birthday? January 27th, 2006.

What does this say about EA/Maxis' beta testing? Honestly do they do any?
I wish I could say I am surprised, but unfortunatly I am not.
They truly do come up with some inspired ideas, too bad they can not come up with inspired programing.
Maybe this is really what's happening over at EA/Maxis :D? That's what sprang to mind when i saw the Dilbert strip.

I understand they wanna please the fans but still if something is not possible to do they should just say so, I bet everybody would prefer a nice bugless feature than a awesome buggy feature you would avoid if you want your game to be fun and function properly... ::)
Can you imagine how buggy weather must have been for EA/Maxis to pull the plug on it? Raining indoors is nothing compared to some of the bugs they let through! It must have been acid rain that instantly melted anything it touched. (An interesting idea, actually...)

Nice summary G :) It does annoy me when certain users refuse to believe bugs exist and resort to throwing a tantrum and/or name calling. I don't mind them disagreeing however I would like to see them disagree in a constructive manner. For me, the prize goes to Becnivonville for her complete lack of understanding and her patronising derogatory comments.
