I had the same experience where I found recursion to be overused in school. My theory is that it is used a lot in conservative institutions because Computer Science faculty like solving computer science problems that intersect with discrete math, data structure problems etc. For these problems...

Maybe. But for CF I don't see the exploration/immersion crowd being that big. Exploration in this case will be spending 30 hours straight on campaign-start finding all the resource nodes and putting that information on a map on your other monitor. Besides that, casual and VR probably won't be...

From what i can tell many whales get a lot of gold from player auctions rather than the cash shop or gold farmers. The only way you remove p2w in this ge is by making unique epherium the best gear or something....

The other big reason why VR won't be popular in MMOs is that it's unlikely to confer a big advantage like it can in FPS/flight sim games.

It's not an MMO but if you're going to have a persistent character/items and count 4 as a group, Mass Effect 3's MP was fantastic.

I dunno but I never understood the point of them either. It just seems like it assists in bench presses, but if it's doing work for you why use it? I also don't understand how a bench shirt is capable of offsetting 400lbs, but guys with +1000 assisted bench get some 600lbs unassisted.

speaking of bench presses, I was watching a video yesterday and I couldn't help but think how ridiculous the strength values were for non-superhumans. Here's a pic of the bat benching 1k lbs: Here's a video of what someone who can bench 600lbs or whatever looks like:

Bad programming is a nebulous term and creating any kind of metric to measure the quality of code would be really cumbersome and silly. People who get really uppity about how things should be coded in very specific ways are probably bad. It's like someone in CStrike demanding everyone use esdf...

We haven't officially decided and won't until after alpha. But if they can deliver on the feature-set they provided then probably. Their design could be summed up as, "Hey let's make a game that the PvP community wants to play."

My wife got all excited when Spartacus showed up. Between him and Crixus she's ready for a Spartacus rewatch.

I knew they wouldn't kill off Cisco. I don't know much at all about the Flash comics but he was just too likable and they didn't set it up at all. I was just hoping the deus ex machina they used to revive him wasn't going to be a time travel event that concluded with nobody but the audience...

I love VR, have a OVR DK2 and am super excited for VR in the gamespace but VR in MMORPGs, especially this one, makes little sense. The perspective isn't great, the game is so UI centric, communication via chat will likely be central to the game and reading stuff will probably be very important...

obviously! Did Cap throw that hunk of concrete so hard it exploded?

I don't know about you guys but I was super excited when they started moving the plot forward by killing Cisco, having Flash's sister finally admit to herself she was in love and having Flash expose his secret identity to her. Then a few minutes later he time-jumps and I remember that nothing...

TBH I don't care much and think it's just a cool scene, but unless Cap was several tons he wouldn't have the mass necessary to use his own inertia to propel a bike with that mass with that momentum. If he was very strong the best he would do would be to smash the bike into his own head very...

Should Captain be able to ally-oop a bike like that? It doesn't seem commensurate with his other feats... I feel like Marvel should have a board of super-nerds who get the final say on any feats a character in the Marvel universe does to ensure it's consistent with their power level.

Oh, I don't care if they monetize that. I also hope they monetize being able to leave your campaign early. Fight me or pay the toll mother fucker. And can you imagine the drama from guilds imploding where all the pussies in the guild bow out and force the real men to either pay-to-lose or...

What's a character permanence reset?

That's true, but I don't think people are compelled by that. In my opinion the value/cost ratio typically gets better the longer you wait. I think in some cases they offer something very valuable in a limited just to set an example, but other than that there's no reason to buy in now. I also...

Last few days usually. I kind of feel like that 'push' is sort of stunted the more people trust that they'll continue funding options post-kickstarter, which is 100% guaranteed in this case. There's no reason for people to fund it because: 1. It's funded. 2. They aren't missing an...

Are they soon implementing a way to permanently earn ships in SC? Seems like the second they do that their money source will evaporate when people either realize they don't actually enjoy playing the game they've spent $1000 on, or realize they love the game and can earn ships ingame instead of...

They should just borrow ArcheAge's implementation: 1. Raw materials can't be put in player's inventories, they must be carried in large packs that are external to the player. 2. The packs can either be carried singular by a player, causing them to run slower, or carried on various...

My reaction to those upset about not getting free stuff:

Crytek has a 50 person VR dev team, allegedly: http://www.roadtovr.com/crytek-virtu...nosaur-island/ new EVE Valkyrie trailer:

Sounds like CF crafting is going to be playing Inventory Management Hero 4000 and has as much gameplay as Progress Quest.

Request denied. No offense to people on the hopium train but I'd rather be on podcasts once I've played alpha.

in case imageshack reminds us why imgur exists, that's a picture of a bane from shadowbane. For those who didn't play SB, that is an expensive item that allows an attacking force to remove the property protection on a city. You want to have your permanent homes somewhere safe where you can...

Tuco's Guide to Meaningful PvP: 1. Put stuff in the game world people want. 2. Enable the ability to fight over control over that stuff. 3. Build your PvP system such that when you lose a fight, you don't have the ability to just respawn and be fighting the same opponent against within a minute.

I didn't see videos of the demos they used with the vive, but certain demos/games will be less likely to cause motion sickness than others. And even though Rift has been public with their VR efforts since Lucky was posting on mtbs3d, groups like Sony, Valve, Microsoft, Nintendo etc etc have...

Yes, that's what they committed to. I think with VR content will be king and you'll need some very compelling games to move the product. I don't know what Valve is planning on that front. I don't know if they're going to offer a developer kit months ahead of the release or just release it into...

In GW2 5 days after release there was a cheap vendor item you could pay way for way below its value. A small, small group of people abused it and got some nice rewards. It was fixed the next day. Then the community at large found out about it when people started talking. Much crying ensued...

no you can't be serious, how does it go to war if no one is dying?

you're bullshitting me

shroud of the avatar, another entry in the Ultima series I think? I don't know if it exists in Brittania.

Ossoi you're really shitting the bed in this thread, please think harder and more rationally.

I'm still expecting something this year.

Wow, SotA getting 4mill post kickstarter is very nice.

If a legitimate leak comes out I'll worry about it. Typical hype from actors doesn't count as a leak.

This is true, but given 2.7m from VC and the ~1.5m from their kickstarter I think they will be hard pressed to come up with a good implementation of their ideas without an additional source of funding. I don't know that there is an unreached market of people who would feel compelled by what...

Hard to call it a delay when no release date was announced.
