  1. 100 or so players doing a conga line of pink through the low level zones on Victory.
  2. Good luck Zwill, remember to post on Twitter where you end up as I'm sure a few players may follow.
  3. It's not just leaves that can be whipped around but also spent bullet casings, bits of rock and other debris generated by mobs and players. Look closely and you will see they have varying amounts of weight applied to them too, affecting how each piece of debris reacts to powers such as singularity or merely being pushed around by movement.

    Interesting news

    You have got to be bloody kidding me, RF Online coming back?!?! Publishers will resurrect any old dead horse with the F2P model, I think COH has just caught the wrong end of the bandwagon if THIS is coming back!

    I still have the box for this game, it was awful. I asked for help in-game and pointed to the store to buy a stack of potions, the settings menu for auto-potion and then the nearest mob spawn point. People would leave their characters unattended, beating on weak mobs and using potions automatically when their health dropped below a certain %. Then there was mob scaling, where each mob had double the stats of the previous level so an enemy with 1000 HP had 2000 HP if you went just one level higher.

    I wasn't surprised to see this game die a death in the West and wonder how on Earth they will get it off the ground again!

    Good news all..

    Would this make City the first MMO to go from a corporate-financed game to an Indie game? :O
  6. It's an F2P model with an up-front fee. What does that make it?
  7. Wouldn't surprise me if the entire market has shot itself in the foot thanks to the big companies pulling stupid tricks. Microtransactions too, some games don't just double-dip your wallet they freakin' quadruple-dip it if not more! No shock if consumers can't be bothered any more.

    Indie is making a nice comeback though.

    Or a teleport.

    For the last six, eight years or so, I've been teleporting teammates underneath the reactor. I'll initiate the TP, type "Trust test," and then see who has teleport prompt on.
    You have to show me this one day

    Nah looks perfectly factual as it is.
  10. They mentioned in coffee talk that there is still a team from their US technical team keeping the servers up otherwise they would grind to a halt.

    1) Log off of forums.
    2) Log into GW2.
    3) ????
    4) NCSoft profit.
  12. Probably won't do anything but a vent is a vent (and harmless).

    I don't actually know if this link will work with Korean in it though.
  13. If you had a large negative press campaign hurled against your office door, wouldn't you want to do something about it? Because NCSoft haven't which means one of two things; they either don't give a toss about us (or the Western market overall if reports are to be believed) or they have their fingers in their ears singing La-la-la-****-you.

    Waiting two weeks deliberately would be a fools errand.
  14. Looks like negative press from this affair has done nothing (although a lot of units are probably pre-orders before they ****** up).

  15. Do you think they may have suspended red name forum posting privileges?
  16. Hopeful...but seems it was either scripted or NCSoft have cocked up yet again which wouldn't come as a surprise.
  17. I don't think it is very independant, it's someone's personal blog with a company name tacked on to it. I'd like to see his evidence for claims that GW2 sales have been harmed because of this.

    Interesting read though.
  18. A face that didn't fit and a trashed South Korean MMO industry did it judging by current speculation. And that's all NCSoft have left us to piece together.

    NCSoft announced its restructuring plan on the 19th of June and started accepting voluntary resignation. NCSoft will cut at least 100 employees and focus on developing games more......Restructuring is happened every year, but the atmosphere around the Korean game industry is chaotic because many people have left the industry this year more than ever.
    Also, if I search for NCSoft I get this:

    It also mentioned that there will be no more layoff or recruits for a while.

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I am trying to be a bitter pill. A pill that I want you to swallow. A pill that will make you want to take all of your sick-and-tiredness and put it someplace where NCSoft will see it more clearly.
    I happen to live but an hour's train journey from their Brighton office. I doubt anyone works at the weekend though.
