I've been randomly googling simcity streams for a while. I finally found one from someone that's actually good, though it seems he had more practice than most. City hits 230k or so, and is packed with wide high density streets. I'm probably going to watch the lead-up later. This is the only...

The art stuff, especially the statues, could really be worth some money. They'll probably even appreciate if kept in good condition, especially when McFarlane kicks the bucket. He is a popular artist.

I do think the vehicle based classes are something that should be explored. You can surely use suits of gear in their place in any case. I think skill acquisition speed and methodology wouldn't be kosher for many MMO players though. Having a job system ala FF Tactics has similarities as well...

You're gifted bro. You're the doogie howser of roofing. Don't be shitting on NPH aych, he's awesome.

Not about generations of royal ducks, am disappoint.

Haha, I tried that just to amuse myself. I got pretty damn close to the top right corner.

Because the true believers shout down all criticism. I was in beta, and we of the dissent had plenty to say about the game. Furthermore, the devs really don't care if a feature is good. They care that it works the way they want it to. If no one likes it, well they can address that later...

Yea, that sounds weak. I am disappoint.

Yea, I'm having like zero fun trying to gather stuff to skill up to maybe build something. A bunch of walking around clicking on stuff that might be interactive. I figured it would be lame. It is lame. I am ashamed of making this thread.

I know very little about this game. I'm fond of the publisher, Paradox, for making cool strategy games. But this is some weird crafting oriented, pvp, permadeath MMO that just entered open beta. I didn't even know it was in closed beta. We had a short thread about it on the old forum...

They teamed up with Microsoft before they even began coding the game.

This game will finally settle the age old question, Pirates vs. Ninjas.

I'm curious if you can reroll great works. If not, you'd have to migrate from region to region just to check them out.

Yea, I definitely had a few of those issues. Also I'd like the road guide thing to be on more frequently. When I was dicking with a token region city, it starts with a bendy highway going through the corner, so I tried to stick to the bendy highway with layers of other roads. But the road...

My city broke 100k one time, and then hovered between 85-95k. I was trying to develop high density and such, but you start needing some hardcore fire/police/health/garbage/recycling action it seems, and I wasn't able to deliver in the 4 hours. For the last hour and a half I was basically just...

It leaped from 30% to 90% while I wasn't looking. Hopefully I can try it soon.

The original download/install was super fast, but it's patching or something now, and moving slow at 13%.

I don't even bother with 100% sync. I just run forward and press the awesome button from time to time.

I loved the ship stuff. I hope it's really heavy on ship combat. Maybe even a persistent caribbean to sail around in.

I prefer 1st person, but it's so much easier to play in 3rd that it's difficult not to when there is an opportunity. If headsets replace monitors as the way to game, we will probably get a lot more 1st person.

At what point, when all the details have been successfully attacked, is your point addressed? EQ is still there. Pulling is still a big deal. And many of the people longing for EQ Next to be EQ 1.5 aren't playing EQ, so what's the real problem?

Except that typing out raid commands while trying to tank has nothing to do with art and everything to do with tanking that takes little activity on the part of the tank.

Yea, I had consolidated a lot of spam and cooldown stuff into macros. Once that is desirable, the design should be adjusted.

Gay.

What defines the center? Socialized healthcare is now normal in western culture.

That was the biggest shock to me when I went back to EQ recently, no leaving corpses around forever with stuff on them. That shit was fucking useful. I kept trying to pull old tactics out that relied on that, and...no.

I think it's far more about the sophistication of bots than the design of EQ. A lot of them were just getting going on EQ. And the difference in quality of bots is vast; furthermore, the anti-botting mechanisms are done ad hoc from game to game as the developers feel they're needed, but many...

He's wrong about pretty much everything. Eventually he'll just say, "You don't get why people play MMOs." as if we're not people and we don't play MMOs.

Last few episodes was a roller coaster ride of illogical shit. I hope the writing is a little bit better and less "OMG THE WORLD IS GOING TO EXPLODE IF WE LOSE THIS CASE!" next season. I'm all for a little suspense, but shit was just stupid. Staunch allies threatening each other every other...

Looks alright to me.

Liquid fuel is what I use most of the time. It's definitely not as entertaining, but they seem more efficient to me. Thanks for the links Phoenix. Learned a few things about the UI so far. My immediate goal is ~80k orbit at ~2300 speed. I didn't really have a numerical goalpost before...

I got into orbit, almost. I had an orbit, but I didn't quite manage to fix my arc and I came into around 33k elevation at the low point (after swinging around the planet about 90%). As I entered atmosphere I lost a LOT of speed and fell in the water. So with a few minor corrections I could be...

I finally got out of the atmosphere recently. My angle is pretty retarded though. I need to pitch around before I run out of thrust to achieve orbit. As it is I have a sharp arc that puts me planetside eventually. I did go for a spacewalk though. That was...dull. I'm like, multi-stage...

Does SkyRe still have all that gay ninja blade stuff polluting the sword tree?

We must pursue economic warfare against one another. God wills it. This is the kind of stuff I'd like to do in an MMO, with a fantastic setting. I hope it performs well, but that runs against my instincts about Maxis's products.

Speaking of which, I'd really like to be able to ban shit like low density high income housing (mansions), or alternatively, ban high rises. It's not like the latter hasn't been done extensively IRL. But if it's easy enough to prevent or encourage what you want through gameplay then hacking...

Doing something just for image is stupid. I want solutions that work, not feel-good platitudes.
