I liked the FPS module. About the head-bob: if what you say is true, then great. Still looked as a head bob though.As long as we get toggles so we can turn all that stuff off. I also liked the changes they made to the Arena Commander controls. I was actually able to shoot down a Vanduul this...

There is now, the Mad Hermit made one of his great videos again:Shroud Of The Avatar - Carnival Mask Tricorn Hat - Grand Tour Head Start - YouTube

I appreciate your posts, Variise, I do hope we can keep talking about Star Citizen.

I am wondering, do more studios do stuff like stock options for their employees, so they get a cut when the game starts making money? Or is that something that only works for small studios? I guess the outsourced part is just on a payroll (or however that works), but I would expect some of the...

I have often been thinking about the wish of people to be able to handle (and experience) the transition between being in Space and going Planetside, through atmospheric flight, and I wonder for how long this would stay fun to do. If you would allow this somewhat realistically, you are talking...

Very interesting, thanks a lot, Variise. Especially good to learn more about the fact that NPC's will be a major factor in the Economy and can be used to cushion and direct it.

Space Tycoon? I am not sure either, but I am hoping Freelancer on Steroids, with an interesting Economy. And I guess, PvP. Which is the biggest questionmark for me now, what that will actually mean in the game for ownership, regional control and the economy. Maybe Variis knows more.

3560 Ships (890 Jump) sold at 600 dollars a piece in 3 days. Not bad.The fundinggoal actually overtook the advertized stretchgoals so now they are already 200k on their way to 59 million, while they still have to think up a goal (or rather a reward) for reaching 58 million(coming soon). I did...

Is there a way to watch that stream of CitizenCon? Would love to see it but off course missed it. EDIT: found it:Star Citizen Persistent Universe / Planetside Demo 720P HD - CitizenCon 2014 - YouTube I have to say, that was FRIGGIN Cool! It all looks SO good. As I understand it, they...

That chair looked like it was shit on, I guess he missed his sock by an inch.

I love the old-school feel of this game, and walking around in Ardoris, thinking each of those "Rowhouses" wil actually have players living in them (well, at least all those houses will be decorated) is quit exiting. But the world itself being chopped up in scenes is still a hurdle for me. I do...

Good read.However, I must be a dying breed then because I can not stomach those way too long, toe-curling "funny" interviews or reports at all. "Mmm, looking at a fool with a funny voice for 30 minutes (or better, a 2.5 hours long "podcast" with a total of 3 minutes of real info) or read a well...

I appreciate your updates, Variise. Still a pretty long timeline, though on par with any triple A game-project. I guess people get impatient with these "early access" type of projects. But good to hear a bit more about their approach for an eventual release.

Nice vid. I think design of SC ships is still a little "samish" compared to what they currently have in EVE. Probably not a fair comparison with Eve being out for so long already, but it looks as if Eve ship designers are a bit more daring. For instance, I love the typs of ships that are not so...

I am still only in for the 25 dollars that I paid way back as an early backer. I have a Hangar, can "play" the Arena module and have a noobie ship with Lifetime Insurance and some other stuff. I am going to watch this thing play out from a very comfortable side-line. I always felt the scope was...

I recognize this. The things I tried were never the exploits that would make you rich or give you a huge advantage, but were about beating the game mechanics and finding loopholes to do otherwise impossible stuff. I remember two that kept me busy for many hours (and yielded zero xp or loot...

I agree with Laerazi that a permanent state is also artificial. Players should be able to influence things. However, things could happen on a much grander scale in EQNext(entire server been overrun by Dark Elves), things could happen on a much more drawn out timeline(may take months to drive...

Mm, so you mean that an entirely different (or even somewhat different) Felwithe could be rebuilt, at a different location all together? Would this have to be done by players or would the Storybrick AI take care of this itself through NPC's? I must say, that if they manage to put the...

I fail to see how EQnext's "Dark Elves have taken over everything on server X" is truly different from any of Guild Wars 2's Dynamic Events, but on a somewhat grander scale, and less frequent. They are still "states of the World" or switches that can be toggled by the player-base. The moment...

Just wanted to let people know that untill the 24th of august, you can get this game for half price.Buy Guild Wars 2 If you never bought/played this, can't go wrong for 20 euros (or dollars) in my opinion.

Yes, I keep reading that. That is why I tried a Warrior. Maybe I should take him a little further.

The unfun loot/item progression and boring skills/abilities killed GW2 for me. I played a Ranger, and I could not care about any of my Signets/abilities that were on long cooldowns. I just spammed the short ones. I am sure that I could be more efficient then that, but that is not the point: I...

True. I probably should not be doing this, since Ryan Dancey has killed so many puppies of gamers here, but this quote of him should put things in perspective somewhat. Unless he is LYING off course! paizo.com - Pathfinder Online: First Impressions

Reading their website is fun, I do feel that they are loading a lot on their plate though. So many features, sounds almost too good to be true. I could throw in 25 dollars off course for some beta-weekends, but I could also wait untill this really takes off. I will keep an eye on this for sure.

Isn't this the actual successor to SWG, and not that zombiestuff that SOE is doing?

Kudos to them for such an in-depth explanation, but I must admit that I was lost halfway through that article too. The fighting felt sluggish to me but I think that was the point? I was never much of a dog-fighter, I think the most space-fighting I ever did was in Wing Commander 1. And some in...

I dislike some of the "realism" features, like how you get into your cockpit. Takes so long before you finally sit behind your controls, and I have motionsickness by then already(should probably go 3rd person..... Please tell me we can skip that scene later on. SC sure is ambitious with their...

No, I completely agree with you, modern factions in EQ are boring and serve no other purpose then to throw up some hurdle. My enthusiasm was for the original factions. Not sure why you would think from my previous post that I am making a case for the faction in later expansions.

Actually later expansions still use factions, but they are not nearly as interesting as they used to be. First of all, they are usually dichotomous factions: 2 opposing tribes, if you kill one, the other goes up and vice versa. Not only that but often these 2 groups are found in the very same...

I still have two of these lying in a closet:http://www.digibarn.com/collections/...ear-vr-system/ I played Hexen 2 with it for a bit, and came to the conclusion that having to turn your head to look around was already too much trouble. The 3D view I totally understand, this was already awesome...

Yes, it is a startingpoint. Do not forget that half if not more of the game(systems) still has to implemented in that timeframe of the Early Enrollment, which runs from Fall this year till Jan 2016. If all goes well. Also, they may have those cities now, but that does not mean they get to keep...

The newest blog is about the Landrush. 3 Guilds have already been allowed to pick their spots in the Landrushmap. Things are slowly getting real, alpha soon. For the next 10 weeks other Guilds will be able to pick the spots for their settlement(second landrush). Anyway, here is the link to...

Post of the week for me. I still play eq live on and off, recently had a bout of at least 9 months, currently 2 gold accounts. I started playing since march 99 and like about 90% of all the changes over time so theres your answer! Only thing i mourn is that itemization has become a bit...

Map Detail of Kingsreach I am posting this because I think the map was the only thing that got some praise. Still looks good, pity that the world will never be.

I have to sey that these "Free Realms" graphics were a turn off for me. I guess I do care about graphics after all in a strange way. Since I have no problem playing that little Halfling in your sig.

Sorry, double post.

Alpha is about to start, I expect them to announce something about it in the coming blog on wednesday 30th. Alpha characters get free sub for the duration of the EE but not sure if the XP they accumulate during alpha will port over to EE, good question. I do know that alpha characters will be...

If you pay 100 dollars you will start out in month 2 of Early Enrollment, so only original backers will have a month of extra xp. But you can only expend a set amount of XP to a character per month, and the idea is to have a much flatter powercurve for PFO. Now a veteran character with 3 years...
