    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    The EQN lore takes place before the even cultural splits I think. I'm sure a rallying call will happen when Faydwer is released that involves 'The split of the wood elves, and founding of Kelethin'. Similarly, I'm guessing the Halflings rode out the dragon war/combine exile and are just chilling...

    Uhhhh, almost not at all. I mean, I'm a bit egocentric, I'll submit to that... But that's about the only thing in that post not based on assumption and minimal evidence.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    From my understanding, Iksar are one of the 8 playable races. I haven't seen any indication anywhere that Halflings are playable. IIRC there have been no major Halfling characters in the books or released lore. Yes, they refer to halflings in the ebooks (ex. Dancing halfling bar girl), but only...

    Well, sounds silly... But the hyperthreading thing may start becoming important once next gen consoles really take off. If he went R9 290 and went balls out on a top of the line i7 he probably wouldn't need a new CPU for like 6 years... Maybe longer. Then in 2 years sell the 290 for $150 and put...

    Ya, I'd sooner go balls out on a CPU than buy a 780ti for 1080p gaming. It's just so overkill. Well... Unless you like 120hz gaming.

    I imagine that there are few gamers who upgrade to a new GPU generation every time they have to dip their settings below 'Ultra'. The majority probably upgrade whenever a particularly interesting title comes out that they want to run very well/can't run at all with their current rig.

    I don't believe anyone. Ever. I don't believe Brad, Salim, internet radio hosts, disgruntled MMO forum mods. Nobody. There are always shades of 'truth' in every situation. I believe paper, and I believe numbers.

    What contracts weren't paid? Where is the evidence? I'd love to see it so that I can get on the same page as everyone else. Who did Brad misappropriate funds from? Is he not the owner of VRI? From my understanding, the original dev team were just employees with stock in the company. Am I...

    Why would you continue to pay a team of employees who produced mediocre results, or none at all? Would you spend $45,000 on another month of development if this were the case?

    Ceder... The project was fucking over. The funding failed. Paying out 45k to developers who were under performing was not going to change anything. Pay my family's bills or be 'the good guy'? Easy decision for me.

    No Man's Sky

    It's a game of exploration and resource collection. There is combat both in space and on land. There is an 'antagonist' of some sort. The main 'goal' is to make it to the centre of the galaxy by one means or another, but the player doesn't have to do that if they don't want to.

    Meh, I've been in management for quite a while, and I've seen numerous employees become disgruntled for one reason or another. The most common situation is when they think they deserve pay they didn't receive, but didn't actually complete a task or did it poorly.

    How is his severance pay at all relevant to the situation with VRI? So because Salim and the boys had 'hurt feels' it's okay to break NDA? We are a bunch of internet dudes at rerolled and even we have the decency to not break NDAs we have signed. If there is any evidence of the dev team not...

    Well, at least 45k for 8 months work is a far more reasonable figure. I'd even call that pretty low. He does have a point when he talks about compensation. Yes, he was a shareholder in VRI, as were the other people in his employ (4-10% each according to him). They were tasked with projects...

    They said 'Asian' and I wonder what they mean by that... I would have preferred to see Kerrans with a more Persian vibe like in EQ1. I guess Persia is in 'Asia' so maybe I'm just misinterpreting. Arches, ornate pillars, smooth dome top buildings, colourful mosaic tile work, courtyards, vast...

    Looks like Kerran architecture is gonna win for the next building workshop. I got the distinct impression that the team itself doesn't have a coherent vision for what their style should even be. All they said was 'Asian and stuff'. I think they thought Dwarf was a shoe-in, and I bet they have a...

    How about the radeon 270? There's no need for you to spend as much as you are on the CPU & mobo you have selected. Downgrade those before you sacrifice gpu power.

    I'd say that's a pretty optimistic FPS estimate for some of the games you listed. I'd be shocked if he saw higher than 25-40 FPS in BF4... and even lower in Metro. Also, radeon 265 is probably the superior card in that price bracket.

    1080p on a 42' screen is probably gonna look terrible compared to your current setup. Unless you are sitting way far back the pixel density is probably gonna bother you. That's why more PC gamers don't already do what you are suggesting.

    I used to buy anything Squaresoft or Blizzard put out on release day without reading reviews, but not any more. Valve and Team Ico are the only ones of these left for me. I will purchase any TRIBES or EverQuest title on release day though, regardless of reviews etc. Some Nintendo franchises like...

    Performance difference between the 840 EVO and the one I posted in my build are minimal. Also, what joe said about gpu manufacturers is pretty much what I do too. I try to grab EVGA cards if I can because they have a crazy good warranty.

    Check this build out. Its CPU can't be overclocked, it has a smaller SSD, and I did not include an optical drive since I haven't had need of one in years. For virtually the same price as what you posted... The following build will probably give you 60-70% (at least) higher performance in...

    But that's because she was 'wasted' (extremely intoxicated) and it could be shown that the accused actually knew about it. She hadn't just had a couple drinks, which is what you were claiming earlier if I understood correctly. Edit: just read your above post. Thanks for clarification. Cheers.
