Good stuff on AI and leveling. Old, but a good reminder.

Breaking away from levels is pretty important when trying to shatter the stale AD&D paradigm that MMOs are pretty much stuck in.

Not a bad article Wombat, good source. Lavie is a pretty straight shooter.

I wouldnt make it so the 1 person has fun at ruining the fun for 10 others. Off the chain twinking of lowbies would kill any balance or chance for new people to get into the game.

Everything Israel does to a Palestinian isn't justified by the existence of Hamas. Proportionality is the key. A rock thrown by a 14 year old doesn't = a bullet to the head. Especially when the IDF is notorious for egging people on and taunting them because they have free fire without...

The problem on the Israeli side is an administration that isn't going to hold its people accountable for carelessness, cruelty, or vindictiveness. They are going to back their soldiers no matter what they do. Nice, except it lets the worst element run rampant. Shoot kids? Well fuck them...

Or he willbuy it for $5.00 at the store

Yep, but they also have been known to do some pretty incredible things.

How would you meet a 100% neutral? Maybe interacting with townsfolk? Obviously if you are in Lower Guk, you can be as neutral as fuck, but are still going to get attacked. Or if the mob views you as a possible meal. Additionally I think every race will have some racial bias toward others...

An encounter doesn't have to remember you specifically, or what tactics were previously used. It can be reactive and dynamic based on what stimulus it receives. An element of randomness should be included as far as equal choices, spells or attacks a mob can choose from in a certain situation.

They have given plenty of examples of how storybricks works. Since story bricks dictates how an NPC behaves, why wouldnt that extend to combat?

I dont think aggro is going to bounce like that. They are trying to make an AI that isnt reactive to the moment, but has a memory and goals. Heres how I picture a fight going. Group enters goblin workshop. Goblin guards rush out and attack. Goblin scientists start hurrying to finish...

Heres the post.

Yeah, the AI will keep track of all the shit you do. Not just scripted quests. All npcs will recognize "honor" or whatever, and some will have triggers when a PC interacts with them at certain levels. When every single action or quest or npc can have a simple brick attached to it, giving or...

Justifying shelling a school because a rocket has been fired from that area is beyond fucking stupid. The people who fired it are gone! What's the point? They fire from an area and move.

Seems that Brawl makes Horsemen kinda trivial.

Dont play today.. post patch bugs up the ass

What happens when war becomes so profitable?

Pretty much what Tuco said. I think the situation as it is untenable. Its just an endless cycle of brutality which will further spiral Israel down. They need to figure a way out. Neither party is going anywhere, but to keep Gaza in a state of pretty much being a giant minimum security...

Is Class Diversity your code word for trinity?

Just so its clear.... Hamas growth was fostered by the Israelis as a counterbalance to the PLOHow Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas - WSJ The PLO (the Boogie Ooogie man before Hamas) almost made peace before Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by what was pretty much a plot from the Israeli Right...

The people running this (Hamas leadership and Qatar) give less fucks than the Israelis for the Palestinian people. Bomb schools, force them into the stone age, beat kids, blow them up when playing soccer on the beach, and each time Israel does this they convince more people to take up arms...

They are all animals, fuck em.. AMIRITE?!?!?! Every Palestinian is guilty by virtue of being born there. Fuck their kids too, they are just terrorists waiting to grow up. Heil Hydra

Well, what we know is that attacks will not be tab target based. If you swing at something in your range, you can hit it. We know the AI will change mobs behavior based on what you do to it. Its been alluded to that combat is another type of "conversation", so the talk about Storybricks may...

Im not sure why so many people refuse to see it as it is, and not behind the stale pro Israel lobby rose colored glasses. Hamas is funded presently by Qatar, and before that it was funded by Iran. The leadership is a small group of people who have power because they, by Israeli action, are...

The major problem for me with EQL is that I get that feeling that everything I build is a sandcastle and will be gone with the tides. It's also a pretty solitary game. I'm still not at all sorry I paid 100.00 though. It's a game worth supporting. I still think this game is gonna be...

I really want a warhammer/Norse mythology (malekith the accursed) based dark elf. I'll never see it again though

Saw like 6 Giants decks out of 10 tonight.. Wtf.

Should this be merged with Ukraine thread? Posting this here.. Great read on the whole situation. Can Vladimir Putin Survive? | RealClearWorld

The people ordering the rockets fired and paying for them are not losing. They are doing pretty dank well tyvm. Hamas leadership is being bankrolled by billionaires and the billionaires are playing broader regional political games. Nobody is actually concerned with winning anything.

You gotta feel bad for the average Palestinian. Why Qatar and Turkey Can't Solve the Crisis in Gaza | The National Interest

If complete surrender by the Palestinians is the only end to this, then this will never end. Is Hamas really losing anything? They get rockets and money from Iran or Qatar or who the fuck knows at this point. Israel goes apeshit and kills a bunch of Palestinians. Shit at the end of this...

Thats bullshit. You take the most extreme elements of Palestinians and claim they represent all of them. Also.. Netanyahu: Mideast peace talks 'essentially buried' if Hamas-Fatah deal stands | Fox News Hamas would accept peace with Israel, West Bank leader says | The Times of Israel...

Didnt Rosie hint in a tweet that they are revisiting Kerran models? FWIW http://eqcrowd.com/everquest-next/34...-kerran-design

I really think Israel is falling into a "Heart of Darkness" situation. The longer they engage in this the more they are going to lose sight of their own humanity. It also seems like they are undergoing a nationwide "Stanford Prison Experiment". Is the number one goal of the Israeli state to...

Gave up on Druid for a bit. Doing Epic warrior deck. Pwns faces.

I understand what you are saying. I've been using innervate/coin/moonfire to fast spawn minions off the Violet Teacher and then hit it with Soul of the Forest then Savage Roar the next turn. I also use the old Force of Nature/Savage Roar. I try to match up my Flesheating Ghoul when Im...

Trying to make a "walking dead/minion bomb" druid deck. Its had mixed success.. tell me what you all think. Ive been playing around with it alot. Might add a Cairne or a Faceless. Also had a couple Big Game Hunters, but they seemed to clog my hand more than help me. Maybe a Wild Pyromancer...

They need better milling cards to counter some of these decks I think. Not enough good options there.

Going for first time, staying in montery shores area of corolla. Any tips or must see/do things?
