There were some really cool parts to the Phantom Menace. The pod racing, fights with Darth Maul and even a lot of the droid scenes were $$$, as was seeing jedi operate in true form instead of the crippled version of Darth Vader/Palpatine we got in Ep 4-6 and the low budget padawan we got with...

I don't really know what I'd want out of a teaser though, so I can't really blame it for being forgettable. Ex: the skyrim teaser was about as forgettable as any teaser I've seen: But the actual trailer? It's one of the most exciting trailers I've ever seen for a game. Just watching...

I like the idea too and it fits, but IMO it's only valid if the movies express the idea. My biggest problem is jedis sitting in a luxurious facility in an incredibly wealthy planet-city and talk about, "Oh man this Anakin kid is going to bring balance to the force!". Where is the guy that...

hilt guard makes 100% sense. So would a lightsaber with a dynamic range controlled by the force lol. The teaser was just okay, which is acceptable for a teaser. It didn't really show anything interesting in it and could be summed up as, "we're making a star wars sequel."

Yeah Ollo is a very active server. There was a pretty big drop in activity 1-2 weeks ago when the apex dupe, tstruck trees in marketplace and the chest exploit happened close together and that caused a lot of serious players to quit, so I bet there's a lot of land being evicted atm.

Wife is getting close to the due date. I never spent a lot of time with a pregnant woman, but I always perceived their bellies as being smooth curves and round. My wife is clearly carrying a body inside her and it's rare that you can't tell at least one body part. I think she's supposed to drop...

Sorry if you stated which server, but which server is this? On Kyrios land expirations are still hotly contested.

Forget that, I just wait twenty years and get them on Good Old Games.

world's highest sustained strawberry picking!

What you say is true, however if a player only attempts to earn gold via: 1. farming (legal or illegal) 2. Running trade packs (buying the mats off the AH or farming themselves) 3. Fishing 4. Farming purses 5. Piracy. and that player only plays ~4 hours a day, labor generally isn't a...

I pretty much agree with everything you said more or less. Powerful AE is the #1 ability to cause players to disperse and while this game has some builds with good AE, the range on them and them being almost all PBAE isn't enough to really bring the dynamic that we saw in DAOC. And as the...

Yeah imprison is an awful spell. We use it to our advantage but it's just lame and boring.

I think I'll have to run the numbers again, let's see... 2 million health 1.5k dmg each 50% of my shots hit, so 750 average damage, so 2.6k shots, that's 133333 honor, plus 500 honor to purchase the weapons, let's say we purchase 50, that's 2261 honor each. Certainly not outside the realm...

Welp sieges are in rough shape. If anyone knows of a castle that got taken that had an actual defense team please post it. Basically, the 'intended' way to siege is to use siege tanks and trebs to knock down the walls, then attack the (now weakened) lodestone. Unfortunately siege tanks...

Yeah, to use OJ as an example of the govt finally winning is a little silly. He committed armed robbery to steal his trophies, lol.

what server you on wizard?

My life was changed with my sceptre. I'm running cabalist for mass pvp right now. Not totally sure about the spec: Large Scale PvP - Cabalist - Arche-Base

It depends on if you need better gear to get crafted. If you're doing peace trade pack runs, auctioneer trading or even fishing, just go straight for crafted. I'd recommend magnificent lake cloth (sta/int) for any caster and a sceptre/shield. If you want to play a longer game, go for epherium lake.

At this point nothing would surprise me. Whatever happens we'll be ready. They tripled the health of the walls/guard tower since alpha though, so sieging is really no joke. We're going to be doing everything we can to win on Sunday, but it favors the defenders immensely.

How did your guys' scroll bids go? I heard on EU a scroll went for 30k On Kyrios the leader of The White Order, Sorcerer, was planning on buying on his castle's scroll and an enemy castle's scroll. However he did not attempt to bid up the siege scrolls prior to them closing and instead...

lol that setup sounds silly. I can assure you that on US side on Kyrios it's not nearly as organized and boring. There's a lot of peacetime only trade pack running going on, but there's a lot of pvp too. This is probably the third time I've suggested making intercontinental trade pack runs be...

Yeah it'd be weak if they said, "WE FOUND ORGANIC MOLECULES AND CAN'T REVEAL ANYTHING FURTHER PLZ STAY TUNED" then a week later they said, "We found a couple carbon atoms that were close to some hydrogen, METHANE CONFIRMED" I don't know enough about chemistry to know what the precense of...

Yeah a ton of tech enthusiasts are still burned over the 90s era vr, lol. The concept is the same, use optics to make an image close to your face look like it's far away, then use stereo imaging to make it 3d. But the 90s era VR is to the Oculus DK2 what 90s era cell phones are to the samsung...

Goggle view? You mean google glass? I don't know what goggle view is. Anyway, VR is one of the futures of gaming but isn't quite there yet even at an enthusiast level. There's big challenges left on both the hardware side (Samsung is smashing these problems) and the software side (thousands...

What's an organic precursor?

cool experiment people are trying to put together: Seeing I: 28 days living only through Virtual Reality by Seeing I Kickstarter tldr: They're going to attach camera/microphones to some dude named 'other', record everything he does, then play it back with a 6 day delay for another dude...

Hey in a few months they might get my rift dk2 to work with GTAV.

No, I'll play it next year sometime after GTAV. I'm too busy in ArcheAge.

Ah another fucking Utnayan whine about the game industry and how terr.... Oh, nevermind then!

I've got no problem with comets hauling around life on them and think it's reasonable, but incredible claims require incredible evidence.

wtf

Your leech to seed ratios must be very neighborly!

We'll see. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think what developers don't understand is that open-endedness is the source of longevity in these kinds of games, and open-endedness can only happened in risky and unconstrained environments. A good example is the ship physics in this game, it's...

Last night we were doing our usual fishing raid with about 15 PRX. We're at a sailfish spawn just off the coast of Yny, so somewhat valuable, we just chummed and could probably get a good 3 trips with our ~5 fishing boats. Then our scout says that there's a red cutter and a clipper together off...

If it makes you feel better it reads like someone who hasn't played it yet and is just still salty about DA2.

I agree with all of this.

Haha 200kbps. Anyone playing this on nightmare (or whatever the hardest difficulty is) ?

Sometimes the closer you get to success in a flawed system the more frustrating it is. Hasla in particular was so close to being a shining example of meaningful world PvP, but the crime system heavily punishing intra-faction PvP made it such that on Kyrios at least, it's rare to find real PvP...
