[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="437" id="2863995"] Hey, RavenX. I'm so sorry to hear of your trouble. Crohn's is no picnic, that's for sure. No hurries to do anything. The last thing you need is pressure. I do not, DO NOT want you to do anything but rest. If something hurts, it's a sign that damage is being done. Therefore, DON'T! Hey...forget the Doc part... SD/WC in a moment of madness made me a Mod. Therefore, hear and obey! JK about the madness not

Updated 1/9/11 I updated the last 4 out of 8 of new ideas pages that I had on my list on my local system. I'm sorry it wasn't a "complete" update as per usual and hasn't been for some time. My health has gotten to the point where I'm unable to stay on the computer unless I have a laptop that I can use in bed (which I have on rare occasion when one of my truck driver uncles is home from on the road). I'm also sorry to report that at least for the time being, probably the next 3 or 4 mo

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="430" id="2863196"] btw, has anyone seen RavenX? Abducted, perhaps? [/quote] I've been seriously ill, Doc, with crohn's disease and the complications from it. I've been wanting to make a post about it to explain what's been going on with me (or lack there of) but I'm finding it hard to do because honestly I don't like admitting it to my-self, much less spilling my personal health details to the world like I'm looking for sympathy or

Everything AI wise sounds awesome. One thing from the pics bugs me though. Some of those cities look WAY too close together. In my mind we should have at least the distance of an entire blank screen between each city so they don't look so bunched up, close together, spammed. Keep up the great work :)

[quote who="k10w3" reply="312" id="2832011"]Breaking news on this issue....despite all the new laws created to deal with this, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security decided to toss due process out the window, bypassing the laws they created, and just shut down 70+ websites "without any notice or warning" to the owners of those websites.

[quote quoting="post"] If you fail to counter, game is over in 5 minutes. If you successfully counter, they quit and game is over in 5 minutes. I don’t even know what Blizzard could do about this because we are playing two different games. I am playing a game of Starcraft, they are playing the Meta game of Battle.net rankings. I get more pissed off when I counter all-in strategy than when I fail because I don’t even get the satisfaction of taking

[quote who="Marks1381" reply="5" id="2831689"]It should level. I think most weapons should level or atleast the special ones.[/quote] That would be pretty cool. Perhaps when we can make magical items in game we'll be able to make things that will level with our Champions or Sovereigns. You've also got me wondering just how hard something like that would be to mod in. Hmm...

I think the "real" advantage of the SotS is that it's a decently powerful weapon (or was) that you could get pretty early in the game if you get enough Midnight Stones early enough in the game. I got lucky a few games and have had the sword before turn 10. Usually that's well before you can make it and a good while before you can buy it too. I usually play as a magic heavy Sov so not having any mêlée skills going from a mêlée attack 0 or 2 or 3 to atta

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)

[quote who="abomination5" reply="13" id="2829766"]Great thanks. I'll be looking into that later this week. I know Europeans have to deal with it all the time but was the publisher thinking releasing the game so much later in the US. That can't be good for business!

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="57" id="2829608"]Honestly, some of the bigger considerations for developers to go "cartoony" are because it ages better and tends to be easier on the system requirements. WoW is almost a decade old now but it aged so well that it still looks good (in the technical sense, not necessarily personal taste). [/quote] That's very true. I followed Borderlands pretty closely for a while during development and I was pretty saddened when they decided to

[quote who="OMG_blackmage" reply="52" id="2829348"] Being someone who knows art then you should understand that there is a difference when it comes to looking at a piece of work from the eyes of an artist, then there is from the eyes of a for lack of a better term, fan. Don't talk this as a insult, but just because you did some art pieces in high school doesn't mean you can and will view a peice of work the same way a professional artist will, just tossing that out there. Moving along wi

[quote who="abomination5" reply="11" id="2829715"]Two worlds 2 looks interesting. I thought it was only out in Europe. How did you get it? Gamersgate says "Not available in North America and UK. Release dates for those territories are to be decided." [/quote] Check this out. http://gamingreloaded.blogspot.com/2010/11/you-can-buy-and-play-english-two-world

Two Worlds Two is pretty awesome actually and it even has multiplayer. My uncle let me borrow his laptop since I'm stuck in bed 24/7 now so I can play some games from in bed when I feel up to it so I've been playing it a little when I can. The spell system in TwT is amazing. It lets you mix your own spells and literally make your own spells. This was a similar system to a suggestion I made for Elemental a couple years ago. Too bad something like that couldn't have been used in Elemental so we

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="17" id="2829354"] Prehaps it was the lack of AA? That has to be forced through the driver (see first link in my initial post for details). And it also looks better with HDR off (and this is a requirement for force AA). (That was the only graphical problem I found, though the 'fog' effect applied to distant objects might possibly stand to be pushed farther out) [/quote] Perhaps it was that. If I ever get out of the house I'll have to swing by his p

[quote quoting="post"]Historically speaking, have you ever noticed that on some games, the reviewer consensus is much higher than the player consensus? And other times, the reviewer consensus is much lower than the player consensus. What do you think causes this? [/quote] Money, plain and simple. The major review sites today have it in their own interests to make some games look good and make others look bad. I'm not trying to sound like some "Conspiracy Wacko", but honestl

I was going to buy the original but I wanted to see it in action on the PC before I committed to a purchase. I had seen videos on YouTube and it looked cool. Luckily before I spent the money a friend of mine got it on PC and I went over to his house to see it myself. He's got the same graphics card as I do but with less memory so I could get an idea of how it would look on mine. For some reason the graphics just don't look good to me and I can't place my finger on why exactly. It looked like

[quote who="OMG_blackmage" reply="49" id="2829299"] Quoting Aractain, reply 24 When people say cartoon its because they don't know what else to call it. Styalised is the common word since it can mean anything in the bracket of 'not-realistic'. Btw I love the should pads and oversized weapons in wow first they help you see things more clearly and they make your character much more bulky and cool. <

If guys have time for a last minute tweak/fix if you could give a glance at what's up with the Fallen Pioneer Packs and units that would be awesome :). Keep up the great work!!!

Ahh, glad I looked before I posted a bug report. I dragged my sick rear out of bed to try the new patch tonight. I started with my undead to check on a undead bug report I got as a PM tonight to see if I had the same problem after the patch, and I didn't, but I did notice I couldn't make any pioneers. The Undead don't have a default Pioneer Unit and I didn't see the Pioneer pack to create a new one. I wasn't sure if it was something with the Mod (since I expect to have to fix some things for

[quote who="uga-bugga" reply="37" id="2829158"] (Can you get a shorter skirt on the next patch, and bend over a little more pls...) [/quote] LoL I'd like to see them take that advice.

I definitely like the art style used in Elemental. As James pointed out earlier in the thread, Elemental's only shortcoming as far as the look goes is it's lack of Variety. Once that's taken care of, on a "looks" perspective, I think we'll be all set. I do agree with the OP's dislike of all things "cutesie" though, I just don't count Elemental as something cutesie. All things that are cutesie must burn in the depths of Tartarus.

Oh come on now, chief, you of all people should know better than to think PC Gaming will ever "Die" or is "Dying Out". In fact I just read a very interesting article in the latest issue of "MaximumPC" Vol 15 No 13. The article is called "2011 A Tech Odyssey" which starts on page 31 and begins with this heading and paragraph: "PC Users are on the brink of a massive shift in technology and performance. We identify the most game-changing technologies and life-changing produc

lol nice one man. That's good stuff. I almost see the beginings of a "Evil Streak" forming here in you, Winter. This must be nurtured and allowed to grow I think. Yes, feel the Evil. Be one with the Evil. Come to the dark side...Mwhahahahaha [e digicons]}:)[/e] :P

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="56" id="2823999"]@RavenX I went through about 150 of the spells, and I didn't find a single one that was possible with the current limitations to spells in the game. Whoever wins, it is likely they'll need to create a custom function just for that spell. [/quote] I wouldn't doubt that one bit my friend.
