    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Are the goofy edges on the teeth a limitation of the engine or just bad use of the tools?

    But if you do that you're just inventing a new programming language instead of learning the existing one you're using! It may be worth your time trying to solve those corner cases with C# instead of Sole#, but it's up to you.

    You should be able to unzip this, open the WordCounter.sln file and your VS2013 express will attempt to convert it. Just let it have its way with it and you should be able to build it. If you can't let me know. Getting an average of the words and total count of the words with a very simple...

    If your format is .docx I can only imagine that's a nightmare to read already. You'd probably have to use some kind of proprietary API to read it and I'd use whatever Microsoft wants you to use to read it: Manipulating Word 2007 Files with the Open XML Format API (Part 1 of 3) If your format...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Maybe I'll hop in sooner then, I'm playing EQ atm though. Plus I'd like to wait until there are more features in the game. When is beta expected to hit?

    I'm pretty excited to see what DC can do but my optimism is a bit more tempered than that.

    Yup. Definitely. I like building stuff but not enough to fight through losing claims, resources etc.

    One of the most fun buildings I made was an underwater glass dome that I filled with a tree house. I think Azziane and I did that together.

    I read Trollface's post and thought, "Wow what an inciteful and deep look into both shows." then I thought, "Wait, no, no, it's all fucking wrong". Let me know when there's a Ron Swanson spinoff.

    For a lot of people in minecraft the challenge isn't wondering what to build next, it's trying to finish your current project before getting sidetracked on the next one!

    On the note of forced grouping vs optional grouping, I came back to EQ recently and they added a whole bunch of shit to make grouping very optional from level 1-80(at least). I have a group of regular people that get together and stomp stuff, but if I'm just a random guy trying to find a group...

    Kirun have you ever played an MMO? Because you seem extremely out of touch.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    One concern I'd have is how much effort it'd be to take a large amount of player made voxel art and make it efficient enough to run. Minecraft is so basic and ugly that even the poorly optimized and ambitious rendering worked out ok (Though any large changes in lighting really hose the engine).

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah, I'm surprised TESO didn't copy this from GW2. This plus all the events and the automatic questing really makes GW2 a joy to explore and quest in vs having to be led around by a quest log that feels more like a leash than a reward system.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The truth is that I have no idea about the details of either of those games and probably won't until we get closer to release and have conquered Cyrodiil. All I can say for sure is that if there's a compelling world PVP system we'll be there.

    MMOs are all about using your time to increase your power level most efficiently. If a game doesn't allow for immense and unique rewards while grouping people simply won't make the effort to add the huge complexity to group.

    While it's true that slow combat speed, long downtime/ relative lack of player UI interaction, and limited and stable server populations contributed to player interaction, are you really arguing that making content hard enough to require players to form groups of 4+ people won't increase player...

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Cool. This game has been through so many iterations it's tough to get an accurate sense of what features do what. Ex: I found out the leadership AA is a mess because half of the abilities are already integrated into the UI by default.

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Cool. What's your ingame name? Mine is Tucob. I'm level 70 now so I'll be 75 soon (Probably by next weekend). The J5 mercs just have less likelihood of running around compared to the J1 mercs right?

    Man this makes me want to play this game. Then I read about how many claims are getting annihilated. It makes total sense but have they explicitly stated they want to copy people's designs for EQN?

    I don't think W. Bush tanked the economy either. Just the federal budget. Deregulation of the finance and loan industry is the primary culprit, which allows the pointing of many fingers.

    Cross platform is cool and all but I hope they aren't investing too many resources into crossplatform and too few resources in making the game fun, which was the biggest thing that was missing from back in Sept.

    The Robots are Coming (DoD to replace one fourth of soldiers with bots by 2030)

    Yeah I agree with this. If the tech improves enough to allow for that much autonomy you start to centralize the power over life and death into a smaller and smaller group of people. Whether or not that fact will make it easier for a govt to forcibly control a population is difficult to...

    You're right that those stories don't get much press and not nearly as much as they'd get if grandpa got gunned down by an intruder. But I think that has more to do with the media not getting enough rating/hits from a successful home defense as they would from a failed home defense. IF that...

    I've been happy to live in an Apt everytime I look outside and see the mountains of snow that I'd have to shovel... Apt living has a ton of benefits and a few specific downsides, one of which is short-term neighbors who you might literally be sleeping feet away from.

    This pretty much sums up why the landlord isn't doing shit about it. My recommendation is to get a recorder and when your neighbor is being crazy record it and call the number the policemen gave you. Audio or video. That way it's not your word vs a crazy person's word. I don't know what the...

    Haha that guy. He's got a relatively defensible argument of "It's possible to get rich." and implements it in the worst way, "The fact that 1% is equal to the bottom 50% is a great fact because of my overall argument!". Maybe it never gets much traction because a talk show can't describe the...
