I agree 100%. I hope people will get modding going sooner rather than later. I trust the community to fixandimprove this game way more than I do Maxis at this point. I still haven't really played at all, save for one half-hearted attempt after the cheetah nerf. There comes a point where...

I think Maxis has made way too many Sims games to ever be able to make agoodsequel to SimCity 4. Their niche has changed too much. I wouldn't hold my breath for offline mode until they decide to take their servers down. The outcry has already weened quite a bit since launch week. Then...

Second on VTM:Bloodlines... I was really sad when they canned the VTM MMO. FF:Tactics / Vandal Hearts -- I miss this type of game, especially with the blood of VH.

Just play with some forums pals? There are usually a slot or several open in forum regions. Get in the chat channel and see if you can hop in.

You shouldn't have traffic problems with 36k pop. Add another 100k people in there and you'll see what we're talking about.

Anyone still playing this? Was going to DL it after reading a RPS review.

Origin has banned people in the past for using mods in multiplayer games (i.e.: ME3) -- I'd be cautious.

I'm pretty over it already. The no cheetah speed just killed it for me after pretty heavy sessions after it first came out. Like Hatorade said, there just isn't a lot of depth anymore for spending time on a city. Plus, we've kinda already figured out TVs = win. What's left besides trying...

If you want to just dick around play in sandbox mode. Easiest way to play without being so stuck with everything, or make a trade based city and have enough money to plop down 10 super stadiums for kicks.

During the development of a trade based city you pretty much want to start with the low end parks (I use the medium park with parking as it's the same size as a sky scraper and stick it in a corner of road). This encourages low wealth people to live near it. The high wealth people will pretty...

Here's a sweet cheat sheet for hotkeys: ...and I'm not playing this game until cheetah speed is back. Good luck everyone else! Link to view a list of current server statuses

Plat collectors isn't meant to be done.

I play in perma-cheetah. I pause occasionally to do mass tinkering. Might take a break until they re-enable it, I can't imagine playing at a pace slower than vanilla EQ

Patch 1.2 Fix for crash caused most commonly occurring on servers experiencing lag. This crash would happen most often when claiming a new city when playing in a region. Fix for server select dialog not appearing on start-up if the server the player was last on is not available. Disabled...

Streets is it basically. Throw some parks to increase land value which will make people want to be around that area.

There are only a few upgrades with the city hall, so 2 people can pretty handily unlock all 6. That's pretty much what Faille and I did before anyone else joined the region. This saves a ton of space for everyone else so they don't have to plan around having a giant city hall; you can just put...

None of the art adds anything but reskins for buildings. It's definitely a fun game even with the server issues, etc. Lots of replayability just in trying to figure everything out, not to mention the theorycrafting.

You just have to specialize for what your city plot has, i.e.: you have a max coal resource and a little bit of ore? Guess what, make some coal processing, then some ore, then make some smelters. For each processing plant you make, try to have a trading depot made near it so you can export all...

In RR2 we almost have our first Arco built. RR1 is also top 15 worldwide in population.

And easier to cheat. Edit: I'm sure people who really want to pirate this game have made headway with launching the game without having to go through Origin.

ME3 was a good game, the ending was the bad part.

Have to play tower defense with roads. Also for infinite water, stick a h2o pump next to your sewage treatment plant (it pumps water onto the ground) and use only filtered pumps (you can bulldoze the default one that comes with it).

Besides waiting several hours? No. I've probably tried just about everything you could.

Just a heads up to everyone that's been playing lately: -Faille and I started a fresh region in Veridian Woods, on US East 1, named: 'Rerolled 2.' -The people who I sent invites to are : Tuco, Argaza, Vvoid, Faille, Springbok, Intropy, Hachima, Arazen, (origin names) ohmgee, ufcanimalmother...

If it's near water, yeah.

You just need the product code.

If you aren't doing XP -- the best combo I've found is FBGlacier / Cerberus. I clear that as a Jug in 14m on silver.

Helpful info

The best new weapon that got added is the executioner pistol. It'll pretty much 1 shot stuff without shields/barriers and chunk armor really well. Aside from that, the other weapons that were good before are still good now (i.e.: Black Widow, Carnifex, etc.). There are a couple good assault...

Personally I mix it up. I get mostly reserve packs cause I want my fucking volus vanguard... but usually I do premium spectres and just take what I get. Getting the rare equipment slots is really, really strong. You can get 5x of them before they max and you can get some dope upgrades (i.e...

It asks you to sync with their server before you exit the game. Unless you just click the close anyway option, you should be fine. Nm, that error is stupid.

Yeah, the friends list has been really quirky. Some people won't show up in the regular friends list, sometimes they show up once you're in game. Relaunching Origin / SC seems to fix it sometimes.

East You really do have to plan your resource facilities with the space the add-ons take in mind. I ran into this problem with my first city. Just means your subsequent cities will be better off. Learning from your mistakes and such.

It's SimCity. I didn't play beta or anything and I jumped into it just like any other SC games fine. The worst part was the Error 37 deja vu that was going on at launch. I've been playing since 5am EST and having fun with it. The maps aren't as small as I feared either, though they could...

I have a region up that is 16max (titan gorge) that Argaza and I are in. If anyone wants an invite add: slapstick2 on Origin. I have a solid residential / industrial base.

Yep. Can make 6 man parties too. Essential Reading

They nerfed FBW by making 2 extra hallways so the mob pathing to you is different. And nerfed decoy (3 targets on it tops) and also the geth have a new turret enemy that has shields/armor that drops a line of grenades over where you are, or if it gets close, fires a short range pulse (hits...

From what I read you can take any squad member that's still alive from all the games on these missions (i.e.: Wrex, Miranda, Zaeed, Kasumi, etc.) and it expands a lot on the romances. For each character you have to be at the part in the story that they would be available (i.e.: after Horizon to...

I play on 360 pretty regularly. I run 14min silvers all day son. We had a pretty lengthy discussion about it in chat waiting for SimShitty. You can also play as the volus, vorcha, etc. There are about 10 race/ability combos per class now with lots of abilities that weren't in-game before...

There any other free vpn services besides flyvpn? Their free trial server is full.
