    Breaking Game World into Cells

    I use BSP trees to break up my world, and then use the node faces for navigation, stripping out anything too vertical. Stairs need some special hacks but you sort of find grid points within a navmesh poly if you are needing a grid (like if you are doing xcom style movement) or just connect the...

    I hate vehicles and snipers so I stick to biolab fights.

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    I've only managed to make it to the final night of a couple mmos that were shutting down. I missed city of heroes and starwars galaxies. I really wanted to be there for galaxies but I waited too late to sub. The matrix online had that odd sort of world ending feeling of the last night of a...

    SWTOR

    I got to pvp champion and bought a fancy bike! Mostly because I could never get any mando iron needed for the fast bike you build with cybertech. BTW I have been having fun with pvp. I think because I've mostly stopped running into premades. Both sides seem to be a mix of 30-55s. I always...

    A friend of mine crashed right there too. Probably uninitialized variable, sort of happens sometimes depending on whatever is in memory.

    A friend got me a 2 month time card so I got the butt cartel and will get the gunship and other stuff. I've been piloting and doing low end pvp. Pilot gets you pants! Real pants! (American pants, not british pants which everyone has I assume). But good to finally have a choice instead of...

    I didn't think smugs had an energy system. They seem to just be able to heal themselves forever with four people beating on them.

    SWTOR

    I've been messing around in game a bit recently. The free to play stuff didn't bother me at all till I hit the 5 warzone a week limit. I figured I would just unlock that like I unlocked the other stuff but they only sell unlocks that last a week. Seems a really bad idea to lock people out...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    When I was young I was full of ideas and had few skills to make them. Now I am old and have all the skills and reject all the ideas. (been done, won't work, too hard, too x, too y)

    Was kind of cool when Vettel was being bood, Brundle told them to stop and they did haha. Season is kind of over though.

    Warhammer Online RIP

    I think if they had checked what people were doing right before quitting, most would be dead in lava in tor anroc. The rest were dead after being pulled through a keep door by that ability that didn't check LOS.

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Hoshkar was a sweet victory. My fave pvp memory was a loss. We used to do huge pick up raids on the darkness falls bosses. Giant zergs that swept over things like locusts. If you grouped with a decent caster it was alot of xp and seals. I'm guessing it was around 50 to 80 people of...

    SWTOR

    I got mine working again. I had a authenticator app on my phone which later got wiped so I couldn't log in for a long time. They put in an option when logging in from the website to remove it so I got back in. I bought 3 different hair color/style things on the market. I had some money...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I think in some cases the starter stuff is still there, you just need to run over. I like the dwarf starting area way up in the mountains so did that on my last few characters. To get there you start in Tursh and run over to three rivers and rent a griffon and fly sort of straight west...

    I put it to the test tonight with a 48+ on both sides biolab fight + grabbin some coalgirls stuff off usenet. The test was not successful, but It was surprisingly playable even in that impossible condition.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I'd like to add to the above list that group xp should be better than solo. Now almost every game offers some sort of experience bonus for groups, but it never takes into account the overhead of grouping. The logistics, unpredictability of away time, weak link members, it all adds up so that...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Will there be a new / creative way to deal with overuse of crowd control in PVP? Or just a way to fight bracketed so I can stick to the low levels where it isn't so crazy? I'd also like options to specialize in cc prevention beyond just a smaller cooldown on a break free type ability...

    Something is better bandwidthwise. I normally can't do very big battles due to just too much data traffic, like the > 48 players on each side thing, but tonight I was running fine. I have 1.5mbit dsl (basically cans and string, all I can get here). Only had one hitch. It hasn't been a big...

    SWTOR

    I loved huttball, but the higher level you got the more silly it got. Way too many ways to be instantly killed with no possible counter. And the leap-to-enemy ability rooting you in place is just lazy sloppy implementation. It has been true of every pvp mmo thus far. Fun decreases with level.

    Planetside 2

    One idea I just had (after much beer) is that maybe they use ping to set the time to predict forward on both sides. This is similar to the pushlatency setting in old quakeworld. So maybe a big freeze up (like loading a ton of textures when spawning in a base vs new opponents) can cause it to...

    My new game, Space Impossible

    This is a nifty concept, keep building on it! The control feel is good, but the firing is a little strange. Sometimes I would see a beam and sometimes I wouldn't. I destroyed the guns on a green enemy after about a 15 death bind rush. Maybe I don't understand how the guns work. The...

    Planetside 2

    I have a thin hypothesis on the shots not registering thing. Almost every time I've ever played I've either been lazy and hit instant action or just jumped in someone's galaxy or something. This has almost always resulted in running into TR first as either way seems to land you on Indar. If I...

    Planetside 2

    I get occasional lag but the shooting people a million times and they won't die thing is different. When things lag out it gets strange, people warp around or run in place and you fully expect to end up dead. Same with any game really. But sometimes everyone is moving normally and reacting...

    It gets really strange sometimes yea. Last night I was supergirl, got like 6 knife kills, blew up a couple max's with c4 and some great launched grenade kills in the first few minutes. Was like 18 and 2. But usually it's the empty two full clips in someones back and they turn around and...

    Well the one I most wanted to lose won, but I think I have a good idea, and actually planned most of it out. Not sure I'll have time to make it all though. I don't have anything running yet.
