jesus christ man, I'd get it at that price in a heartbeat, but I want it for PC damnit

fuck

You're in luck. If you get a 4 pack through steam, it comes out to 33.75(US). You just need to find 3 other people... Incidentally; I wouldn't mind going in for a four pack with three other people.

i might catch some shit for that last thing since i'm sure competent people here have created actual good and compelling games using rips, but before any of you tries to defend yourself just know that i'm not talking about you anyway.

This last part wasn't really necessary, but in essence I agree with you. A better example would have probably been the whole Rudra outbreak a certain pair of games perpetuated.

dude i remember exactly what he's talking about but I don't think you do.

I'm pretty sure I remember what happened. What with the overreacting, and the simple apology from the offender.

You're aware that it is possible to edit ripped material to fit their own needs, right? It is done quite often, actually.

As far as using ripped media, It isn't an ideal solution for anyone involved; it is only done to circumvent a limitation. If done poorly; will make the game look like a crappy scrap book. If done properly, can make the game look great; ripped or not. To some, it can even be a means to an end : IE - making a game using rips well to get one's name some exposure.

No idea what that is but all the uploads were finally finished this morning after leaving the com on all night and after logging in I find out all the servers are down for the next few hours, the joys of MMO's.

You get faster EXP if you join the game under the recruit a friend program, and a flying zebra unicorn mount or some crap... No, Im not making that up.

Tried playing wow about a year ago, never got into it. Tried a trial account recently and it wasn't too bad, just payed for 1 month subscription to see if I last that long. Installed the game this morning and now 10 hours later still trying to complete all these updates.

You should do the recruit a friend thing.

Lvl 80 Warrior and Lvl 80 Hunter on Rexxar

Sucks I never meet anyone who is on my same realm...

OH YOU PLAY WOW TOO? COOL WHAT REALM??? .....oh....

I'm eventually gonna sell them and make some profit anyways :d

The market is saturated, you won't get much... Actually, you'd be lucky to make your sub cost back.

Tbh I'm pretty excited for the new expansion though its probably not coming out until end of next year - might be a way to pass some time on the holidays. Personally I enjoy the whole leveling process more than endgame so I'm really happy about them deciding to revamp that aspect.

That's what I enjoyed myself. Once you get to the end it's all people standing in town, comparing useless trinkets and flailing around insults that mention the word scrub no less than 62 times per sentence.

Well this is a bit surprising. I'll give this revamped demo a shot. I've been meaning to finish off the other demo, but this is even better.

The way you're using the icon is pointless. The whole thing just takes up too much of the screen.

Why not have a single window on the or towards the top. Have a slender window that's laid out like this.

[Icon] You found two poison cures!

You can change the icon depending on the nature of what you found. A little shield icon for shields, a little potion icon for potions, and so on.

The same way anyone could possibly say HG:L was good, obviously.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

i play TF2. i'm thinking of getting back into WoW and Soldat, also.

If you've quick WoW before, do yourself a favor and think it through before you go at it again. My suggestion would be to go watch live footage from Xfire. I was a bit curious about the expansion myself, but after watching ingame, unedited footage for a few minutes; it killed any lingering curiosity that I had.

way to shit on something better than 99% of what anyone has ever done in rm2k3.

Which game are you referring to here, the video I linked, or the Sanosuke's ~~series of screenshots and videos~~ game?

@Night: I proved that theory wrong with my churel cliffs map if you remember it.

I have no idea what you're even talking about. Would you care to refresh my memory?

While you're at it, how about you tell us what the exclamation marks are for? Decoration? WoW style quest givers? Solid Snake?

*Abridged*
Your avalon town looks pretty nice, but those big flashing talk/enter icons detract from the looks a lot, and so does the overlay. I'd advise eliminating both of them, or at least toning them down.

The best lighting / overlay effects are subtle and add to the map rather than it simply overlaying and follow the map as you move around. For an example of lighting down right, check out Velsarbor's Introduction.

Anything I can do with rm2k3 limitations in mind?

I'd like to know how what's showcased in this video is even possible in Rm2k3. Generally, it is thought that RPG maker simply isn't meant for this type of battle system; and while it is difficult to ascertain the limitations and difficulties of this guy's battle system, it certainly looks to fun and functional.

Well, it looks nice; but that's about it. Going through those maps with only 4 direction tile based movement is going to be a chore at best.

Okay son, you are in a thread about MMO's, taking swings at the genre in general. This is trolling and I don't know why you are wasting your time.

Maybe if the genre as a whole wasn't in such a piss poor state of regression, it wouldn't be so easy. I'm not "trolling" when I say that AoC is pretty much one of the better MMOs out there right now, and for all the problems that game has that's pretty sad.

But I am sorry. I wasn't aware offering a dissenting opinion on something is considered trolling.

Yeah you have totally convinced me. I will take my personal experience with the game and throw it away.

Aion will flop just like all of the other "GREAT HOPES" of the MMORPG genre. Aion, Darkfall, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, all taking turns trying to fill this role; all failing to meet even the most reasonable of expectations... Of course despite all this, there are people willing to defend it as if it was a family member's name being tarnished. If you don't believe me, go ahead and read up on the game, how the "Abyss" works, and just how much grinding the game actually has.

In the end, the whole MMORPG convention is as tired as it is tedious. You're plopped into the world, and you do menial repetitive tasks for exp. You do enough of this to reach the max level where you reach the "END GAME". A different assortment of tedious repetitive tasks, only now it takes substantially longer to get anything done. 99% of all MMORPGs fall under the former, and if you still enjoy that... Well, have fun. I'll be off playing games that don't hide themselves behind hours upon hours of boring tasks.

There are people out there who actively enjoy playing EVE, Darkfall and Lineage 2 ( ][ ?!) proving once again that people will play and gladly pay for pretty much anything.
