Q UPDATE: Multiple masks are coming to Q and more!

I’ll finish that one when I have time, I had started it at some point before but didn’t finish it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Are the multiple masks coming soon?

I don’t know how about stacking Ultimas (two or more Ulimas) but stacking one with a major program gives great results as you can read in my journal and I bet in the journals of many other users who decided to do the same. Actually, I stacked StarkT with two Ultimas once. With the Commander and Executive but I started stonewalling and it felt weird in general so I gave up on listening to the Executive.

I don’t know if I’d say I’m a ‘more experienced user’ but I’ve run some experiments in my 8 months here

Here’s what I’ve discovered

Don’t do 2 terminus titles at a time unless they are same core different modules.
Stacking 3 Q subs at 1-3 hours a day each is pushing the limit of seeing the full effects of each
Terminus has to be 1 loop a day if stacked with anything else except Ultima
After you acclimate to an Ultima you can do 2 different titles a day, preferably 6+ hours apart, but Elixer and The Beast WIthin go well close to each other, where as BLU and LIbertine do not
If running 2+loops of terminus a day, must take the next day off from everything except Ultima or 1 loop of Q at most
I can successfully stack 1 loop terminus 3 loops different Q subs, and 2 Ultimas a day, if in action on everything related to all those titles.
I have successfully stacked 1 loop terminus 5 loops of 3 different Q subs and 2 Ultimas a day-but the jury is out on the sustainability of this.

Thanks Azriel! Great guidelines. Saved this post to personal notes for future reference

Azriel · November 11, 2020, 8:38am

For sure! Hope those help a bit in the navigation until official recommendations.
While we all respond differently, I would bet my experience with those would or will reflect others when running similar protocols.

DarkPhilosopher:

When Saint told me I asked pretty much the same things. Here’s how I got it after about two days of asking questions.

You can pick any 3-6 modules in the Q store and then build them as an Ultima. So not as Q, Terminus or T², but as Ultima. Any module that’s currently in the store (note to SaintSovereign: does that include the “regular” cores?).

The Ultima Cores (so the things that are Ultima now, like Libertine, Elixir, Commander and so on) will not have corresponding modules in the Q store. This is done for two reasons.
First, because Ultima is tricky to code and therefor there’s no guarantee if it would work if you take for example Libertine Core and you add a few seduction modules on top. The technology is not yet smart enough to figure out if the combination you pick will actually work well together in a single Ultima.
Second, because as Saint stated above, people will inevitably build a non-Ultima in the store that contains an Ultima Core. Which won’t work because of how Ultima Cores are scripted.

To answer @Floridianninja’s question, the store backend/software doesn’t support the complexity necessary to lock certain modules to an Ultima build and certain modules to a non-Ultima build. So a choice had to be made, and given that a custom sub takes time, resources and money, SubClub chose that for the time being, we’ll protect people from themselves and not add Ultima Core modules to the store. This will likely change in the future if the store software changes/evolves.

So there’s the confusion that we all share(d). You can build regular modules in a smaller, targeted Ultima format (which many people have asked for), but you don’t get Ultima-only modules.

I expect we’ll be seeing custom Blue Skies Ultimas and named Stark Ultimas and Physical Shifting Ultimas (second note to Saint: will physical shifting work faster in an Ultima?).

Hopefully all with new masks.

Can this get pinned somewhere, or added to the FAQ? It took me a while to find this specific info, and I was even part of this thread… lol.

SubliminalUser · April 13, 2021, 6:48pm

Pretty crazy to think about when this announcement post was made versus where we are now. SC went in quite a different direction and most of the stuff in the first post of this thread hasn’t happened yet.

Floridianninja · April 13, 2021, 7:38pm

Lol especially when it came to people adding ultima sub cores to regular Q subs lol.

Meng123 · April 13, 2021, 8:08pm

I can add it but whats the related question?we now have ultima core modules in the store and not all of them can be used in q subs.information doesnt feel like its relevant anymore unless im missing something.

BLACKICE · April 13, 2021, 8:19pm

Yeah I may have been quoting outdated info there.

See my actual question here: https://subliminalresults.com/t/healing-module-questions/8147

SaintSovereign · April 13, 2021, 8:50pm

No, it’s happening. The project just got a bit more ambitious. We were actually thinking about creating a “Developer Diary” thread, with insider / background information on things going on behind the scenes. But, I’ll post a little teaser of a wireframe containing the new Q interface.

Again, this is just a wireframe / MVP version that allows us to visualize the process.

SaintSovereign · April 13, 2021, 8:51pm

Another wireframe:

Floridianninja · April 13, 2021, 9:16pm

A bit more ambitious? lol
Are we talking a tiny bit or like a huge bit lol.

Looks awesome by the way

SaintSovereign · April 13, 2021, 9:34pm

Huge. We started off with just wanting to automate Q. Then we recorded / licensed some more masks. Then that process led to use doing research on Solace. Research on Solace led to the Dolby.io API, etc. etc. lol.

Now we’re just like, we’ll push everything back and release all of this at once. New order process. Q automation, etc.

DarkPhilosopher · April 13, 2021, 10:01pm

We could ask @Meng123 if it deserves a place in his FAQ thread. I found answers there I didn’t even know yet.

NinjaFox · April 13, 2021, 10:18pm

Is Q still processing custom builds right now?

SubliminalUser · April 13, 2021, 10:51pm

Just as Qv2 is a 3x power multiplier on Q, would it be possible to provide an approximate multiplier for the power of name-embedding?
