Also can take a look at how well the Druid class works in WoW. Granted in that game it ends up stepping on a lot of toes but players really like 1 character that can change roles.

Pay more. I wanted to work in game development. I shopped around for software development jobs with game developers and defense contractors. I got offered an internship at a defense contractor that paid more than the game dev jobs I got offers on. I spent 2 weeks as an intern and they hired...

These guys are going to be huge. I can"t imagine anyone but Carmack looking at the technical capabilities of that engine and honestly thinking to him/herself "I can do better." If they can build out an awesome suite of tools for generating worlds, assets, effects and animations. We will have...

I agree you picked the best engine for the time. I just think you tried to do too much with it.

Someone has been readingHow many frames per second can the human eye see?lately! I think they got some fighter jocks to notice changes in an image which would have resulted in a frame rate of like 200+ fps. Point being the human eye does not sample light at discrete intervals, it is...

The funny thing is they aren"t using a bleeding edge engine. It"s Unreal Engine 2, hacked up massively but still the same graphics core that has been around since 2003 and runs Lineage 2. The Doom 3 Engine CryEngine 2 Unreal Engine 3 Source Those can be bleeding edge if you get into all...

This is such a terrible, 1st semester computer science student assessment I am having trouble finding words to describe it.

A note related to the current discussion butcompletelyoff the thread"s topic. I really hope they implement a new 1-60 game in the next xpack along with a couple new races. With the number of alts people have I really think it would be worthwhile. I have 2 60s waiting around, a lvl 70 and I still...

I said it like a month ago Cuppy, but you were still on your honeymoon with VG and too in love to notice =)

After this example I agree with you Kolle, people aren"t going to be cut the slack they would have. Publishers wont write the "blank" checks based on a design document, some spin and a name. Games and experiences like VG are all part of the genre growing up to where there are realistic...

As it has been said, this is exactly the type of post and attitude that kept me away from the game. Why would I want to try a game that has issues, work past the problems, try to find the fun. So I can play with Camerous? Fuck no sir.

At least for me the people who play VG are probably the main thing that kept me away from the game. Sure it wasn"t finished and all the stuff that has been rehashed many times over. I would have given the game an honest shot if it"s fans didn"t come off so crazy. I can"t imagine wanting to play...

Just to help the derail along, the star wars thing is pretty well divided by age. I"m 26, I was a big SW nerd and me and all of my friends hated it. I"ve got a ton of younger cousins who were in 6th grade or so when episode 1 came out. Them and all their friends didn"t really know much about the...

I always figured it was because Brad promised the world, the second coming and a lot of people were so desperate to recapture EQ they bought it. What he delivered is well short of the promises. The wonder and majesty of EQ is not returning, Vanguard is just another MMO. A decent MMO but...

Regarding growth of the MMO market. I think everyone in this thread has vastly underestimated how EQ grew the market. I haven"t seen any numbers but I had some talks with SoE guys about how their turnover was pretty bad. Sure their active subscriptions peaked at around 500k but over their...
