    I didn't like grouping in GW2 because it wasn't really cohesive grouping due to not reliance on other characters. The trinity isn't the only way to have a cohesive group but it really does make sense.

    I assume that both Fedor and Cain used steroids. I just think Cain would be able to smother Fedor. Fedor's best striking is at range with his looping right hands (like the one JDS threw that knocked out Cain!) and his best takedowns are hip throws which I don't think would work. Fedor would...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Not sure what you're asking, but my perception is that mass is stored in the protons, neutrons and electrons. What gives them mass? I dunno, but at least I can look at a hydrogen atom: And see the proton and electron. I don't see anything there that represents velocity. Mudcrush, if...

    How is velocity stored in atoms?

    Well maybe I'm wrong. Who here likes forced grouping? and by forced grouping I mean that after the newbie or intermediate zones the PVE is difficult enough to require 2-3 people to progress at a good pace.

    Not sure what you're saying here but this community really likes forced grouping. In general this community prefers MMOs that require grouping at almost all levels. The basic reasoning being: the only reason we enjoy these games is to play with other people and MMOs that allow everyone to solo...

    Archeage

    To be fair, the last half of their castle was built. Had they not built it we would've had a much better chance to win. Probably even a few key towers not being built and we would've won.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I've thought about the same thing, basically, "Why can objects have speed/motion?". It's above my paygrade though and I doubt any answer I understood would answer the question at a depth I accepted. I imagine if I reduced any component of physics to its core components I'd have similar...

    I'm eager to hear that answer but I doubt they'll give a good one. Probably the only answer I'd accept is, "well we're in the middle of an internal pre-alpha roll out that we didn't want during the hunger week, so balancing our people's time between this and the alpha was tough!".

    The biggest arguments for Fedor are: 1. He was generally outweighed by his opponents. Say what you want against HMC, but at the size differential is something no one in the post-sanctioned UFC has faced. 2. He often fought with a ferociousness and reckless abandon that gave him fearful aura of...

    Yeah TES4:Oblivion had the same problem. The Oblivion Gates were a total non-threat. TES5:Skyrim solved this problem by making the dragons/vampires very liable to kill NPCs. This made dragons more impactful and changing to the game world because the friendly blacksmith or town drunk would get...

    That the hunger week was 'brutal' makes me think that they didn't have much of the information they dispersed a week ago, and rather than giving us a peek inside their gaming outfit they were producing content on the fly. As in, rather than saying, "Hey Bob the Artist, could you just record a...

    It's complicated. We don't do any big PVE raids because few people want to and almost none of the leadership, including me, likes to do PvE. PRX as a whole is a 100% PVP focused guild and while being able to farm kraken, anthalon and the red dragon would help gear us for PvP, the time...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah but do you feel like your embedded programming / assembly /microprocessor class in college laid out the ground work for your professional ability at assembly? Or did it just make some terms familiar and you had to relearn everything when you got the job?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I've got nothing to add on security. I find security and trying to exploit security generally uninteresting though it is of course extremely challenging. Good luck with assembly, lol.

    Full report, courtesy of Ghost: It has been a long time goal since Auroria launch to not only claim a castle for PRX but to also take one by force. With the current siege mechanics in NA Archeage, it is close to impossible to take a castle by siege. It would take outstanding dedication and...

    Yeah from the documents it's not clear if winter means that there's hardly any loot/resources and waves of badass NPCs are popping out of bushes to wreck you while you're just trying to survive Don't Starve style, or whether it means that in winter time all the badass versions of the NPCs will...

    A quick note/warning on the 'we're targetting a certain playerbase'. I think it's easy to say when the player base they're speaking of are the only ones paying attention. Cutting out challenging PVE raids removes a huge part of MMOs and the draw for a lot of different players. Same if they come...

    Yeah I saw that lore bit and laughed a little. It's true though, but when people really get into the lore of your game it can be fun. The alliance PRX was in, the Covenant of Swords, had some semi-RPers in it that were all "Elven Empire". I think they sort of made up their own language and...

    The difference between the team on Crowfall and Pantheon is that Crowfall's team probably has talent and hard working developers. Pantheon has people too incapable or stupid to find a real crew to run with.

    Let me just skip all the smoke a_skeleton_03 unconsciously throws up when he gets into retarded-argument mode and jump to his initial point: Do you still believe this, a_skeleton_03? If so you're wrong and I'll prove it to you in 3 lines of joke.

    Asians cant drive even in the air.

    I was wondering, how hard is it for all the random people who get damages from a huge event like that to get compensation for it? Does that taxi-bro have to stand in line and try to get his $4000 for his car from someone dealing with millions of dollars in claims?

    Will take fundamental changes in computing for AI to be dangerous in that manner.

Right now a lot of viruses exploit...

    AA was probably the most alpha-experience friendly because of the land-rush and because the alpha players had an idea of what stuff would inflate faster and could invest accordingly. Of course nobody predicted that labor pots would be duped to high heaven and kept low due to incredible amounts...

    I am confident the people who play the paid alpha/beta in this game extensively will have a huge leg up on the rest of us. They'll rush and be the first to hit a level/gear soft-cap and then 90% of them will quit and go hype themselves on the next game. Ex: I actually think you spent more...

    My expectation is that there will be a set duration, but that amount will be decremented by player events. Ex a guild vs guild world will be spawned with a 30 day timer, but if a guild caps all the keeps on a map that timer decrements by 5 every night instead of 1. If there's an even ownership...

    I don't know if I would even want ships in this game. If you're going to have ship combat you need to make it critical to your game like AA and AC4 did. Ship gameplay is a serious investment and you can't just tack it on. I'd rather they focus on making a coherent land-only game before worrying...

    To play tuco's advocate it's easier to be transparent when all you're doing is peddling hopium.
