I also hope that pet summoning (elementals, demonic) is in one or two disciplines along with charming.

I'd also like to see what you mean by done correctly. My thought is they should avoid a lot of the challenges and frustrations with pets and just cheat. Add a basic pathing algorithm and then make pets be able to teleport when they get stuck. Make pets completely immune to AE damage. Make it...

What's wrong with combat pets?

Are you saying that CF will be better than ESO and ArcheAge? If you're wrong fuck this gay world.

You seem really intent on sabotoging my efforts for someone who will probably quit before I start competing.

Oh and lol @ SEO: irondick mine - Google Search

Ironically nobody gave two shits that we got the first world-wide Emperor in ESO because it was a worthless victory. I think this community is way too focused on what happens outside the campaigns. The devs need to be focused on creating a game where playing the campaigns is fun and engaging...

I like leaderboards but I'm always very apprehensive about them. I think they're focusing on leaderboards for guilds and some kind of multi-campaign tournament rather than player leaderboards here, but let me whine about player-level leaderboards for a bit. I like sandbox PvP games because...

No. I usually tell people not to buy into these things. But I think the marketing intent of the # of backers and the low entry price is geared toward social marketing.

Andreessen Horowitz just gave 20million to fund some kind of simulation engine I don't understand that may or may not have VR Blog - Improbable

I feel like the # backer is more compelling for people to tell their friends about it than the $ amount backed. It's easier for me to say to my friend, "Hey back this game for $5, if a few hundred more back it I get something sweet" than to say, "Hey back this game for $100.". And they...

The problem with the 'just skip the side quests' is: 1. There's so much of it. It's not just the table-provisioning quests. Everything from the crystal shard things to the big campaign map side quests to all kinds of other meaningless bullshit clutter your quest log, your map and your time. 2...

The VR thing is an effort to capitalize on all the pre-release hype the VR market has. They may as well add a special tier that gives you a ship in Star Citizen. Thinking about the 12 faction thing again, didn't Tera or some other game have some kind of faction leadership position that was...

Not a big fan of the art, it looks too cartoony for me. I like better. Also do they have any more details on the 12 faction war? I wonder if they have ideas on how to give each faction its own ruleset and flavor. With 12 sides I wonder how they'll make it so a large alliance doesn't...

Wait till release.

Same. I want to play a version of this game with all the filler quests removed. And the itemization totally redone to be less MMO like and more.... Baldur's Gate 2 like.

checking in. I'

One big difference between Valve and OVR is it seems like OVR is targetting the seated experience moreso than Valve. Maybe this will change once they show what their new input scheme is (wouldn't surprise me if it uses Lighthouse tech). Personally I only really care about seated experience VR...

Almost all the pre-alpha guild stuff is nonsense in ways that is impossible to decipher for people like the OP of that thread. The guild forum is full of new guilds, active old guilds, has beens and never-weres. The new guilds are obvious. It's very difficult for the OP to separate the other...

popsicle I feel like you don't know enough about the game to even begin to effectively consider the major challenges are facing it. I do think, however, that there should be zero PvE in the EK. I don't even know what they plan to have crafters 'craft' in the EK other than turning...

I think recruitment will be entirely driven on how well they manage to enable a small, tight-knit group of people to generate wealth ingame and engage in small group PvP. If the entire thing devolves into zerg vs zerg with a high cost of losing in PvP you'll probably just see people rushing...

I feel like EKs are designed for the people who log into the game then sit in town all night spamming faction chat with bullshit.

Do you have any more technical information and videos of your hobby system? What does your system do that the different UAVs out there can't ex: 5 drone technologies for firefighting | Fire Chief

My thought is this: Put a bunch of resource nodes out on the map randomly and have random maximize retrieval rates. These rates have a maximum that doesn't change with the number of people there. If you and your buddy are operating Tinynugget Mine at max capacity and earning a decent income and...

CF's predecessor, Shadowbane, did that. Within a couple weeks all the pre-release alliances that were prepared to fight us were wiped off the map and we had no one to fight. There were two more respectable alliances against us that we actually nurtured so they could build up a force before we...

I agree and I think combination of what is being thrown around for tougher campaigns = better rewards is probably a good solution. I think their tournament idea might be an ideal option rather than having tiered campaigns. My point about foundation is that trying to find the right reward...

I disagree with the foundation of your question. I think the key to making this game successful isn't in finding the perfect balance for players to get rewarded after the campaign, but making the campaigns themselves enjoyable. If the carrot is winning a campaign for your EK I feel like they've...

I didn't read the latest Xmen movie thread, but what did people here think about how fast quicksilver was? It seemed like he could wreck anyone and solve all the problems.

Utanayan what do you want this thread's title to be?

Eomer come back!

If waves were in our galaxy, wouldn't we be able to see the waves in neighboring galaxies?

Like I said if they add contrived objectives we'll have to re-adjust, but right now the attitude among PvPers is that we want FFA and are exhausted from factional PvP. Organized groups also do better in FFA environments. The people who are helped most by factional PvP are unorganized players who...

Recursion gives you a contextual call stack to work with that would be annoying to replicate with while/do.

C++11 added a new for iterator system that is super nice. I wish i could upgrade compilers

For peasants?

Unless they force us into faction pvp as some kind of contrived tourney i can all but guarantee you we will be in dregs just because we want ffa pvp. I dont want to speak for anyone else but i can bet that other pvp guilds agree with that. We dont like forced alliances.

The campaign->export idea is 100% new to MMOs. Its predecessor is pretty much all non-MMO games where you're rewarded something if you're successful, but CF is extending that idea to a month+ game. So, we and ACE don't have enough information to make intelligent decisions on the details of...

I agree completely. This community plays MMOs as arenas to compete in and CF is focused on that, but the MMO market at its core is a reality simulator to let someone immerse themselves in an online environment. ESO is probably the latest attempt at that and they cut a lot of features that...

My kid's giant head is the reason we had to get a caesarian after some 50 hours of labor. I can't help but think if it was a few hundred years ago he would've tyrion'd my wife.
