That's weird, I just assumed you'd be able to play S42 simultaneously with all the other stuff. Whatever, it doesn't really matter. It sounds like S42 will only take a few days to play through.

This is the super fight of this generation, but with this timing it's hard to get excited about this. Pacquaio hasn't stopped a fight in 5 years, and Floyd is arguably the best defensive boxer of all time. Grimmlokk is correct, this has all the makings of a snoozer. If this was a few years ago...

bullshit!

haha ruined my day. (For those not playing AA on Kyrios, we were able to engage the red force at halcy and the server went down. Would've been a good fight).

I made it through 2 months of ESO, which is like 4 years in average MMO terms.

Who says? I'm not a biologist or psychologist, but isn't care just cognition wrapped around a basic chemical reward/punishment system? If we develop an AI with cognition, there's no reason we can't attach it to a similar reward/punishment system.

I'll buy the minimum for early access then play the game hardcore and steadily for a year while ya'll hype addicts quit a month after release.

What's the bonechip reference? I know bonechips are a reagent in EQ.

So now that we have a general idea of their game engine, combat mechanics, world setup and pvp ideology, what do you think they'll drop in four days besides kickstarter tiers? Do you think they'll have any kind of playable game or a date for a playable game?

I'll watch it, but they have a lot of challenges to overcome to make it both realistic and entertaining.

Mist, stop shitting up this thread and pretending you're a female. Jefflys already did the "I'm a dude pretending to be a woman and I also have fear of rape" routine. I work in robotics and automation. Progress is slow in this field and is severely limited by cost. Driverless cars are here...

Those of us who played Minecraft know what people can do if they get their hands on a lot of obsidian. For those that don't, obsidian takes a ton of time to destroy and damages your pickaxe. If you go to someone's yard and drop 50 obsidian in it, that obsidian is now a permanent fixture to their...

Didn't they say you can't build in combat?

Draegan is a p2w credit card warrior and is a bad influence!

Shows how much I remember playing AoC, haha.

I was thinking about scientific dogma earlier. Because it's difficult to prove with 100% certainty the how and why of complex systems in our universe, the human penchant for having a dogmatic and stubborn attachment to our own beliefs can be important because it adds diverse paths to the pursuit...

Which games are massively scaled and have FF and unit collision?

Events like this are what cause alcoholics to swear off alcohol forever. You're doing her a favor.

I think it'd be more about spec groups or sub groups attacking a target simultaneously. All depends on the game mechanics though. Often the most critical spells in large scale PvP are the ones that developers don't anticipate being prominent.

We'll see how well FF works during beta, but it's not going to be a problem for us if it exists.

I hope they develop a robot that dodges and kicks back.

Yeah there's definitely some uncanny valley action on the robotic legs that are just way too similar to human legs for comfort. Their newest one, Robot Dog is really cool and much more hm... graceful than previous entries. It also looks great with the HDL32. I can't wait to see these...

Wait you have to get through Squadron42 to get to the MMO game? Or just if you want the money for a ship?

Keep the plane bullshit out of this thread, please.

Hey Tarrant how is your tree coming.

"how do you do this job when we aren't paying you to do it?" What does this mean? To answer your question, " should extra effort be required to advance a career?" not always. Sometimes there's a crunch time and you have to spend extra effort. Sometimes you get tasked with developing a web...

Just a note on this, I heard a lot of people tell us everything would feel natural. That wasn't the case at all for me and nearly every aspect of parenting I've had to learn from cognitive focus instead of instinct.

No I don't think so. Voxel is a bit of a nebulous and misused word. It's a combination of volume and pixel, and is sort of a 3d pixel. So a game like Minecraft which is made up of these blocks is thought of as the quintessential voxel game, but it actually doesn't use voxel rendering, it uses...

If someone gives the impression that they don't have a lot of experience coding in their career, either because they're someone transitioning into a programming career or they are a recent grad, usually the, "what side projects do you have" question is the only chance you can give them to show...

I try to generally follow the codebase I'm in. People who have really strong opinions over naming conventions, capitalizations etc are usually too rigid in their thinking. but my preference is upper camel for namespaces, class/struct names, enums etc. Lower camel for functions and member...

One of the most fun minecraft things I've done is build a dome at the bottom of a lake in survival mode.

Interns are such a double edged sword. On one hand you can pay them low amounts, on the other hand you have to be very careful about what projects you give them and spend a ton of time both mentoring and helping them. Even experienced professionals have limited levels of contribution in the...

Don't be so quick to believe that. Creating art assets with a voxel based game is very non-trivial, even if all they're doing is creating a templates for a randomization engine. Those templates are expensive as is modifying the randomization engine. I wouldn't call procedural content the future...

Voxel based MMO? The biggest risk with that is even though the hopium they're peddling makes it sound easy to create randomly generated worlds players find interesting, it's not. Anyone who has played Minecraft extensively knows that once you've seen a few chasms, nether forts, abandoned...

Anyone got a source for this? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=732779566819924 I think it's fake but I want to believe it's real!

Should I encourage my wife to see this movie?

What have they said about risk vs reward? I think game developers have generally done a very poor job of balancing risk vs reward, possibly because they are often hesitant to ever let the player risk anything but his time.

Are you arguing that ArtCraft will be capable of producing a large number of quality, handcrafted and unique maps for a prolonged period of time?

We'll see how it works out. I'm still envisioning there being a number of static landscapes being copied into multiple instances with different rulesets. I think part of the reason I think of the word instance as being very generalized is because I'm a programmer. Just because two instances of a...

"If we redefine the word instance so it doesn't include our worlds/campaigns, we can have a good answer for people who think that instances separate the community in a negative way!". As long as they realize that their worlds/campaigns are instances that separate the community and come up...
