    Kaladin's flashbacks, along with being character building for the book itself, is also Sanderson setting up a bunch of future Moments of AwesomenessT & a Prodigal Son ReturnsT. But yeah, he could have edited them down a bit. About Kaladin's character... switch the K with a P I guess...

    Yeah they are linked. His worlds are all basically part of the same multiverse, different "planes". The same "event" created each world. The trilogies/settings work as stand alone stories, but the idea is that if we stick with him through all 36+(!) of his planned books, it'll all come to a...

    You guys are fighting the last war. The only sandbox-type game they can possibly finish that fast after 3 reboots is one heavily dependent on procedural content, and systems that make players interact with that content in a fun way. Everybody knows that using procedural content in a...

    "It's going to be the world's largest sandbox game." I doubt they hit on a 100% original idea, so my guess is they played a lot of minecraft.

    Yeah I thought going web based was the way to go too. Then I realized Web based games all end up requiring way too much of your attention through the day. The burn rate on those games is enormous. Play rates look like an inverted V. You don"t want to jeopardize your subs because people feel...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Numbers should become more precise soon since so many people are going to drop the Access Pass with the price increase. There"s just no value left in there once it goes to 30$. It"s a shame, everybody loses. Especially SOE.

    I just got done doing some testing. To understand this, be aware that as a sound device I am using a Plantronic Audio 550 .dsp USB headset. So I decided to test the sounds some. I started the game, turned sound off, cranked most visuals to the max, closed the game, started the game again...

    I usually play at High Performance or Balanced with HDR and Bloom off. The leak occurs no matter where I play; 3 Rivers yes but also Tursh, Renton?s Keep, Silverlake, Misthaven Crossing or Coastal Graveyard. Vanguard takes anywhere from 350MB to 1.3 GB when I play. As long as I exit the...

    X1900XT and I get acceptable FPS at Very High. The problem is that I crash after an hour or so because of what I assume are Memory Leaks. If it did not I would play at the max settings all the time. The biggest problem is still the lack of AA as is evident below.

    That"s total bullshit. No one can defend this sort of attitude. The worst of Everquest 1"s "customer support" all over again. The devs will fix issues as quickly as they can, but nothing can be done to magically make it all go away; bugs will be fixed when bugs will be fixed. The only way...

    That is all good news. Hopefully lots of fixes to broken quests, like Drell the Blackjack, By Night, In the Fields, Uncut Rage Rubies, etc. Adding stuff to 3R and Renton is good, but there"s already lots that is broken in that area that would provide quite a bit more of stuff to do if it was...
