Do you have any more technical information and videos of your hobby system? What does your system do that the different UAVs out there can't ex: 5 drone technologies for firefighting | Fire Chief

My thought is this: Put a bunch of resource nodes out on the map randomly and have random maximize retrieval rates. These rates have a maximum that doesn't change with the number of people there. If you and your buddy are operating Tinynugget Mine at max capacity and earning a decent income and...

CF's predecessor, Shadowbane, did that. Within a couple weeks all the pre-release alliances that were prepared to fight us were wiped off the map and we had no one to fight. There were two more respectable alliances against us that we actually nurtured so they could build up a force before we...

I agree and I think combination of what is being thrown around for tougher campaigns = better rewards is probably a good solution. I think their tournament idea might be an ideal option rather than having tiered campaigns. My point about foundation is that trying to find the right reward...

I disagree with the foundation of your question. I think the key to making this game successful isn't in finding the perfect balance for players to get rewarded after the campaign, but making the campaigns themselves enjoyable. If the carrot is winning a campaign for your EK I feel like they've...

I didn't read the latest Xmen movie thread, but what did people here think about how fast quicksilver was? It seemed like he could wreck anyone and solve all the problems.

Utanayan what do you want this thread's title to be?

Eomer come back!

If waves were in our galaxy, wouldn't we be able to see the waves in neighboring galaxies?

Like I said if they add contrived objectives we'll have to re-adjust, but right now the attitude among PvPers is that we want FFA and are exhausted from factional PvP. Organized groups also do better in FFA environments. The people who are helped most by factional PvP are unorganized players who...

Recursion gives you a contextual call stack to work with that would be annoying to replicate with while/do.

C++11 added a new for iterator system that is super nice. I wish i could upgrade compilers

For peasants?

Unless they force us into faction pvp as some kind of contrived tourney i can all but guarantee you we will be in dregs just because we want ffa pvp. I dont want to speak for anyone else but i can bet that other pvp guilds agree with that. We dont like forced alliances.

The campaign->export idea is 100% new to MMOs. Its predecessor is pretty much all non-MMO games where you're rewarded something if you're successful, but CF is extending that idea to a month+ game. So, we and ACE don't have enough information to make intelligent decisions on the details of...

I agree completely. This community plays MMOs as arenas to compete in and CF is focused on that, but the MMO market at its core is a reality simulator to let someone immerse themselves in an online environment. ESO is probably the latest attempt at that and they cut a lot of features that...

My kid's giant head is the reason we had to get a caesarian after some 50 hours of labor. I can't help but think if it was a few hundred years ago he would've tyrion'd my wife.

I had the same experience where I found recursion to be overused in school. My theory is that it is used a lot in conservative institutions because Computer Science faculty like solving computer science problems that intersect with discrete math, data structure problems etc. For these problems...

Maybe. But for CF I don't see the exploration/immersion crowd being that big. Exploration in this case will be spending 30 hours straight on campaign-start finding all the resource nodes and putting that information on a map on your other monitor. Besides that, casual and VR probably won't be...

From what i can tell many whales get a lot of gold from player auctions rather than the cash shop or gold farmers. The only way you remove p2w in this ge is by making unique epherium the best gear or something....

The other big reason why VR won't be popular in MMOs is that it's unlikely to confer a big advantage like it can in FPS/flight sim games.

It's not an MMO but if you're going to have a persistent character/items and count 4 as a group, Mass Effect 3's MP was fantastic.

I dunno but I never understood the point of them either. It just seems like it assists in bench presses, but if it's doing work for you why use it? I also don't understand how a bench shirt is capable of offsetting 400lbs, but guys with +1000 assisted bench get some 600lbs unassisted.

speaking of bench presses, I was watching a video yesterday and I couldn't help but think how ridiculous the strength values were for non-superhumans. Here's a pic of the bat benching 1k lbs: Here's a video of what someone who can bench 600lbs or whatever looks like:

Bad programming is a nebulous term and creating any kind of metric to measure the quality of code would be really cumbersome and silly. People who get really uppity about how things should be coded in very specific ways are probably bad. It's like someone in CStrike demanding everyone use esdf...

We haven't officially decided and won't until after alpha. But if they can deliver on the feature-set they provided then probably. Their design could be summed up as, "Hey let's make a game that the PvP community wants to play."

My wife got all excited when Spartacus showed up. Between him and Crixus she's ready for a Spartacus rewatch.

I knew they wouldn't kill off Cisco. I don't know much at all about the Flash comics but he was just too likable and they didn't set it up at all. I was just hoping the deus ex machina they used to revive him wasn't going to be a time travel event that concluded with nobody but the audience...

I love VR, have a OVR DK2 and am super excited for VR in the gamespace but VR in MMORPGs, especially this one, makes little sense. The perspective isn't great, the game is so UI centric, communication via chat will likely be central to the game and reading stuff will probably be very important...

obviously! Did Cap throw that hunk of concrete so hard it exploded?

I don't know about you guys but I was super excited when they started moving the plot forward by killing Cisco, having Flash's sister finally admit to herself she was in love and having Flash expose his secret identity to her. Then a few minutes later he time-jumps and I remember that nothing...

TBH I don't care much and think it's just a cool scene, but unless Cap was several tons he wouldn't have the mass necessary to use his own inertia to propel a bike with that mass with that momentum. If he was very strong the best he would do would be to smash the bike into his own head very...

Should Captain be able to ally-oop a bike like that? It doesn't seem commensurate with his other feats... I feel like Marvel should have a board of super-nerds who get the final say on any feats a character in the Marvel universe does to ensure it's consistent with their power level.

Oh, I don't care if they monetize that. I also hope they monetize being able to leave your campaign early. Fight me or pay the toll mother fucker. And can you imagine the drama from guilds imploding where all the pussies in the guild bow out and force the real men to either pay-to-lose or...

What's a character permanence reset?

That's true, but I don't think people are compelled by that. In my opinion the value/cost ratio typically gets better the longer you wait. I think in some cases they offer something very valuable in a limited just to set an example, but other than that there's no reason to buy in now. I also...

Last few days usually. I kind of feel like that 'push' is sort of stunted the more people trust that they'll continue funding options post-kickstarter, which is 100% guaranteed in this case. There's no reason for people to fund it because: 1. It's funded. 2. They aren't missing an...

Are they soon implementing a way to permanently earn ships in SC? Seems like the second they do that their money source will evaporate when people either realize they don't actually enjoy playing the game they've spent $1000 on, or realize they love the game and can earn ships ingame instead of...

They should just borrow ArcheAge's implementation: 1. Raw materials can't be put in player's inventories, they must be carried in large packs that are external to the player. 2. The packs can either be carried singular by a player, causing them to run slower, or carried on various...
