I guess the Governmnet decided they'd had enough scandals coming out...

@OP it's short.

IBTR Edit: Also good to see I'm not the only one drinking on a Tuesday!

Got to go with Astrocreep here. I saw the poll and assumed steak was a euphemism for vagina.

First gameplay video of an MMO that made me feel like Granpa Simpson. God bless all of you who are excited by this game but for me it just looks exhausting.

Agree completely, especially considering the pace of expansions.

Cool story bro. Snowden was a Sys Admin. Now explain why the NSA just restricted all contractor sysadmin access? http://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/new...trators-383371

Players don't know what they want until it's in front of them - no different from any other consumer. We base our wants and needs on what has come before so we can't anticipate we'd like something completely new until we actually play it. @Draegen et. al. it all depends on the...

Obama/Cheney '16 Because neither of them is done with the USA just yet and neither gives a fuck about the Constitution.

I like how Chaos was posting like mad for a few hours and then he tagged in a_skeleton_03 and is now getting a drink on the outside of the ring.

You don't know if it is or isn't. The specs say it is but we need to see the implementation. Edit: Ah fuck it, yes I know, I know.

It's at least 5 Zettabytes - I've posted the article twice now.

Maybe they're actually NSA shills? It's getting fucking ridiculous.

I already previously linked the article which cites a former NSA source that the capacity is for 5 Zettabytes but I'll link it again. http://gcn.com/articles/2013/06/10/n...-capacity.aspx

I think your post absolutely implies re-creating EQ1. Your reject the idea of new technology and emphasize the coolness of EQ1. Don't get me wrong - I was playing FFXIV the other day and after a 15 minute intro scene + stupid quest I was like "WTF? Why am I not killing mobs 2 minutes into this...

You can't go home again. If SOE just rebuilds EQ1 with better graphics and you play it you won't get the same feeling.

Snowden gets a pass. The people who should be on trial are the plethora of NSA Analysts who are daily breaking their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

'Cause it's crazy to not want the US to spy on its own folks, not want the US to use drones on American Soil and wonder why we're putting boots on the ground in Syria.

That's what Smed's been saying (without mentioning SB) - I'll look for the quote, but basically I think we can count on player made content filtered through SOE's Cash Shop with players using an SB dev kit. But that's not how the example was described in the podcast: the guy was pretty specific...

Because that's what it is, it's a scripting system for AI. Did you not watch any of the videos, listen to the podcast or read anything about it before posting? Storybricks does the following: -Provides a lot of pre-set behavior for NPCS (e.g. Guards will protect a town without you having...

You are either willfully blind or an NSA shill.

They do appear to be going full retard on this - suprising.

I feel the same way about Diablo style random loot. Which brings us back to the problem that if you're not actually changing the world (e.g. NPC permadeath) then that too is gay. Ah well

Yeah because who wants AI in an MMO?

SWG-style crafted loot with NPCs dropping different quality materials would work pretty well. Then would't matter if any particular NPC died. Holy OCD Batman!

2 Best of E3. So somebody besides SOE likes it - but yes, we'll see how it goes in the beta.

Found the guy who must be working on the combat AI for EQN - not StoryBricks. http://intrinsicalgorithm.com/IANews/ Long presentation on AI combat - goodbye taunting??? http://www.intrinsicalgorithm.com/me...k-CoverMe!.pdf

Unless of course he arrives on American soil and ends up mysteriously dead/disappeared/lobotomized. I don't think the smart move is returning to the US at this point.

Lucky. http://epicslantpress.com/mmo-radio-...2-brian-green/ Not a lot on story bricks but 11 to 20 minutes in an example of bandit/village/pc interaction. Bandits are located at a hideout, have motivation to go wandering/raiding to get money. They wander around area and eventually...

I'm not about to call him a hero because I don't know his real motivations (stopped clocks and etc.) but I otherwise agree with Araysar particularly that "just following orders" isn't an excuse. Whatever his reason, Snowdwen revealing the NSA Surveillance State was a Good Thing (tm).

The other problem besides the one Abe points out, is that it is all about execution - looks great on paper, will sound great at SOE Live, but we won't know if actually works as advertised until we get into beta.

Yep anyone thinking it won't be FTP or also on the PS4 is dreaming. Also yes, it will have some kind of mini-map. Smed really wants to be able to do a "EQN hits 1,000,000 players" press release withing a few months of release and FTP lets him do that.

And when the game is revealed in all its glory the main topic of conversation here will be does it have maps or not... Not with the game is sound or not, just whether it has a mini-map or not. So yeah, I agree it's getting a little ridiculous.

Old news but interesting: http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12...ng-npcs-to-li/ StoryBricks as a Swiss Army Knife (or Obi-Wan) - here with its LFG function. Edit: Make that its LFG/e-Harmony function.

I wrote off SOE back in 2008 or 2009. Mainly because Smed seemed to have gone insane and SOE was only producing crap. But Smed hiring back Jeff Butler for, and Butler incorporating StoryBricks into, EQN have me convinced that Smed and SOE have been born again and there is hope we'll get...

Don't feed the troll!

Snowden is talking about what's going on now, not what happened 50 years ago. Nice to see one of our NSA shills trying to change the conversation from how America is becoming (has become) a police state to race.
