It's harmless, but here's some fun I had this morning and posted info on it in the description if you want to check it out yourself.
DERPITY DERP - sing with me... 
Stress relief attempt? maybe -

None of your arguments make any sense, and I dont give a toss.

Um, wrong. You can get any global you want because they tag 4 digits on. Character names are server-wide exclusive. Since I got "Seven of Cups" on Tarnished Coast, no one else in the game can have it.

Meanwhile: what is the deal with these next gen MMOs and global character names across all servers? TSW is the major offender here but GW isn't too far behind. Call me crazy but IMO it shouldn't take 50 tries to get an alias you're okay with possibly being stuck with for the next few years.
...unless there are 9,999 players that just so happen to want the exact same name that you do, but that seems impossible. -

From what I've heard/read, they were only available on live for a limited time.

Edit: also you guys need to be less butthurt, this game is 8 years old, get another hobby. NC is a business.

Quote:I guess the 'don't like it, don't read' argument can be made against you as well.Originally Posted by Paladiamors
How about you get off your high horse? If people want to be upset because a company pulled the plug on a game they enjoy playing then that's their perogative. Don't like it? Don't read. And I HATE the saying "Don't the player, hate the game." Why should you NOT hate the people stooping to 'playing the game'? Especially when, in this case, the 'game' made little sense, aside from potentially making quarterly costs look more reasonable and maybe shifting that budget to another game.

I know it used to be bugged, and the main reason it never went to the live store.
-
As far as I know, the double xp boosters never made it to live, and I thought they were still bugged on beta - they weren't actually giving extra xp or something.
The other ones I think work though. -
Ok I updated it with that on the main page and the newest video. I am not going to go back through every single past video but all future ones will.
-
Awesome.
-
Does it return once toggled off? If not, that is quite a huge deal, or would have been.
-
Ok I added it to every video description from now on, and I added a link on the channel page (shows up on the right.)
I'm going to have it on every video even if it isn't showing gameplay of CoH. Did you need anything linked to the Titan Network? -
-
Congrats
-
...but I'm doing what I can. I just changed my Youtube channel settings to always link to the petition to save CoH from now on.
I am not partnered and I only have a couple hundred subscribers but most of the time I've been just trying to improve editing and quality techniques along with teaching people and showing people CoH most of the time.
If you want me to link to anything else let me know - I've been a bit pessimistic on the boards as of late but I've been trying to take a fresh look at things starting today.
...again, I do all of this for fun and to help gamers, and some of the videos are more selfish and are of just me having fun, but I get positive comments on those videos too from time to time. -
Quote:Your explanation of why you disagree doesn't really talk about the subject. At least 3 of us all said the game needs work but I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'll let it cook a good 6 months to a year before I look at it again to see how things are progressing.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
It doesn't really feel "unpolished" to me, at least what I've seen of it so far. It does feel a lot less safety-railed than the WoW/GW model though.

BioWare used to make fantastic games. And because we, their fans, are idiots, we didn't spot the decline early enough. So we bought Mass Effect 3 still on an emotional high from the last two games and judged it on that merit. And when you put it up against the other two games, Mass Effect 3 just doesn't live up. It's not JUST the ending. Like your basic soap opera love story, the ending is just the moment of heartbreak that makes you look back with objective eyes on all the thing you sighed and looked past up to that point. No planet exploration? **** characters that don't go anywhere and have no personality *coughvegacough* Sorry, this plague is killing me. Weaker and less interesting combat, fewer supporting characters and no personal missions?
I look back on Mass Effect 3 and realise that the most touching and heart-warming stories, including the one that actually made me cry... Were basically the capstone of stories told in the previous two games. Every single one of the new stories was pretty much garbage, ending in that crowning moment of suck that was the Protean. At first, I didn't get why he spoke with an accent, right up until I placed what his accent was - African. And I know, because I spent six months with a couple of African students in the UK back in 2007. So he's a stereotype - the African tribal warrior who puts skill and viciousness before society. It's almost like I'm watching a bad anime.
Mass Effect 3 crashed and burned long before the ending, but I'm a stupid guy who lets faith in a gaming company blind me to obvious flaws. Right up until the very end, I was giving the game a chance and believing this would all add up to something, brushing away awkward exposition and flat character moments. Then the "godchild" happened and I knew exactly what I was playing - bad fanfiction. That's all Mass Effect 3 is. The previous two games were built on a complex political structure, ancient grudges and vastly different cultures. Then in Mass Effect 3, it's all resolved so simply you'd have to wonder why it took the Reapers to do it. And then that **** at the end just sealed it - someone let go of the wheel and the writing went off the road, into a ditch and off a sheer cliff. The ending is not just ****, it serves to undermine everything that was good about the series, ruins the Reapers and, pre the "apology" DLC, completely discarded your actions in the game.
The only reason I can enjoy Mass Effect as a "thing" any more is to pretend Mass Effect 3 never happened and the story ended with Mass Effect 2's amazing ending. That game made me care for all of its characters, even girl fanservice character Thane Krios. At least unlike that barefoot elf ******* in Mass Effect 2, Thane was a nice guy. And no Liara. Her voice actress is terrible. Samara may have been weird, but at least she had a more convincing voice. I cared about Grunt, despite his lack of character. I cared about Jack, even if she's the kind of person I'd normally find insufferable. I REALLY cared about Legion as that sort of story is really up my alley. Hell, I might have cared about Thane Krios if the bulk of his character development weren't locked behind a romance path.
As for Dragon Age 2, I have only two things to say: I HAAATE Anders and I love Knight Commander Meredith. It's so rare to see a female character in a game who is strong, capable, authoritarian and charismatic without either being slutty or old. Sure, she was battynuggers crazy and evil, sure, but she was still by far the most impressive character in that game. -
Quote:That video was recorded by me, and that was me at the controls. The recommended specs are a quad core cpu with 8 gigs and a 500 series graphics card or higher (Nvidia side, I didn't look up AMD side.)Originally Posted by SteelRat
According to that video, it's "powerful enough". Also bear in mind that video was "an early beta" (Again just going on the commentators info) so there could be optimisation that still needs to happen.
My first reaction when I saw the first few seconds of video was "Oh. Battlefield 2143". Not necessarily a bad thing, by the way just not sure it'd be something my other half would want to play.
The video was recorded in 1080p and rendered down to 720p, all settings maxed except for forced hardware AA. Here are my specs, and naturally any hitching seen (I didn't see any) would be due to recording such vast amounts of data via FRAPS:
i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB DDR3
SAMSUNG 830 Series 256GB SSD
WD VelociRaptor 1 TB
EVGA Superclocked, Signature 2 GTX 680 -
It only worked on the second attempt for me - I know MSNBC is getting killed off sometime soon, isn't it? I thought NBC was breaking off.
EDIT: ah, it worked once you edited it, that's why -
My understanding is that Bioware makes fantastic games and people's expectations to endings make them hate all the work they put into their products... or is this wrong?
Also - I played TSW beta right up until launch and it seemed very unpolished to me - even the UI was crap. The best thing it had going for it was the mystery surrounding everything but a wiki will take care of everything eventually. -

Tried Mann vs. Machine on TF2? It's not single player, but at least it's co-op. It's actually pretty fun.
