Quote:This change is to prevent the forced-nerf of the rewards from the Task Forces from runs at -1 difficulty. This is most likely a temporary solution until.Originally Posted by Seldom
Most players, especially those seeking a challenge, would like a reward akin to their effort. This is not unreasonable.
We need less hissy fits. -

Quote:You claimed you wanted a challenge, and when presented with a means to increase the challenge, you said you wanted the reward. It's fairly obvious you're using the challenge as an excuse for the reward.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
SF difficulty options don't do the same thing. YOur logic is false. Go away.

Quote:You're assuming that'd be an easy change. This is likely just a temporary solution to prevent abuse.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
They could just disable the -1 difficulty setting.
You say you wanted challenge, I tell you how to get challenge and you cry about the rewards. That leaves one to conclude you're not interesting in the challenge but the rewards associated with the challenge.Quote:I"m there for the challenge too. Purple patch, ever heard of it and what it does? -
Quote:In other words, you don't want more challenge you want more reward. This change is to prevent people from farming them on -1 difficulty, which'd seriously screw over the merit rewards.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
They will still be +0/+1s and won't give more exp and inf.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! -
Quote:Then use the Task Force difficulty options?Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
In my TFs, I get people to run it at at least +1 setting and we fight many "unnecessary" mobs for fun. Well, they won't be fun now. Most teams do NOT complain about a higher difficulty, in fact most SF teams on virtue want it ABOVE the default.

Cool replies, thoughts. I've never got the 6th because im not sure of anything i fight that does toxic. Maybe a spines toon but i rarely pvp and i dont see alot of PP at 50.

Just a note: Currently there's a bug messing with drop rates. The devs have likely found the source (uninitialized variable teaming with gnomes) so there should be a fix on live before too long.

Quote:If you want to own your own property, or buy items from others, you'll need the in-world currency. One method is to purchase it with real money. Other methods include selling your creations or working, etc.
Doesn't 2L need you to put real life money into it to get anything done in it? Unlike the Sims?
There's countless pre-fab items in SL, but The Sims has nothing that even compare to the construction capabilities possible in Second Life. SL is like what'd happen if 3D Studio Max mated with the Internet...Quote:Also I would think the construction and family building tools in the Sims would be easier to use "from the get go".
If you only want to put pre-fab items in certain places, The Sims is more oriented towards that, but you can do the same in SL, along with much more.Quote:If what I've seen and read is correct, then I can easily see how someone who likes the Sims may not like something like 2L, as 2L seems to be waaaaay more advanced than the simplicity of the Sims. -
I'm fairly certain that it's unresistable.

Purples offer good bonuses to EVERYTHING, as well as not losing their bonuses when exemplaring down.

Quote:If The Sims sppeals to your love of construction and SL doesn't... you've obviously not looked much at SLOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Isn't real life what we try to AVOID by playing games, though? I run into that a lot with people I know when it comes to leisurely activities, because I tend to complain about and dislike a lot of things in my games that I do every day in real life. But my response tends to be that if I wanted real life, I'd shut down my PC and walk outside. Since I'm cooped-up in here, I must want something else.
That's what confounds me about Second Life. I can understand shipping off to a game that's vastly different than real life where I can... Well, see pretty pictures, essentially. But what is the appeal to leading, essentially, a second life inside a computer game that is essentially a mirror of the life you lead offline? I guess I could ask the same about The Sims, but at least that game is a little more goal-oriented (level up stats, progress through your job, make bigger house) so it kind of works. But I guess that appeals to my love of construction, and even that doesn't last long.
SL is an entirely player constructed world. Inside of which, people have created loads of different games (including a variety of combat systems), as well as many other things.

I'm almost certain that buff powers will buff an invisible dummy entity within the customization screen itself. It's probably a little easy to miss, perhaps, but even so.

Quote:I never called it a gameOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I think if we stopped calling Second Life a game (and "game" is inherent in the MMORPG acronym), we'd all be happier with it and have a much easier time understanding each other. I'm not sure WHAT I would call it, besides a business, but it is decidedly not a game any more so than printer paper and a packet of colour markers. And believe me, I've made more than a few games out of those.
That's not a BAD thing, mind you. To each his own, but presenting it as a game tends to have a lot of people go "Huh?"
SL is something that games can be built upon, though. I think a decent analogy would be to say that second life is to a game as paper is to art. It itself isn't one, but many exist within... and it can be used for many other things as well, whether that's just to have a virtual business or what have you (I've actually heard of a few artists that have created stuff in SL, some of it was rather impressive!).

Quote:That's for active accountsOriginally Posted by Eric Nelson
Actually guys, this hasn't been the case since I14, when the "60-day rule" was removed.
I14 patch notes here.
Characters (on active accounts) who have inventories, bids or items for sale in the Black Market or in Wentworth's Consignment House will no longer have to log into the game within 60 days to avoid item or influence/infamy expiration. -
SL is a lot like the internet... there's a load of crap everywhere, and some stuff that'll give your nightmares... but there's some stuff that's actually pretty amazing.

Quote:In case you didn't realize, the animations and facial textures are entirely player made (except for a couple default ones), along with most everything else in the game.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
Mmmmmmaybe. Anyone who set out to do that would have an awful lot of work to do, though, just getting it presentable. I mean, unless they've done a huge overhaul to the engine since I stuck my head in a couple years ago, the character animations, facial models, etc. are deep, deep in the Uncanny Valley, and the game world in general looks like one of those NASA animations of what the Moonbase was supposed to look like circa 1975.
Their prim system also received an upgrade several years ago to include "sculpted" prims which can be of an arbitrary shape, allowing the more complex objects using less pieces.
Not to mention, gives the user access to a VERY powerful scripting system- and by that I don't mean client side... I mean server side, it's even possible to integrate with web APIs. -
Quote:Actually, I would say quite the opposite from a technological point of view. It's the ultimate online sandbox, and would definitely make an easy place to start developing your own MMO.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
it's utter crap.

Quote:Planeshift has an open source client (server is proprietary, art is also proprietary) as well as being free... although I don't think they've advanced much at all in the last several years.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Truth be told, I have idly contemplated a MMO with an open source client. Could be interesting
SecondLife has both an open source client as well as an open source server... but then again, it makes Virtue's PocketD look family friendly by comparison But it'd probably make a decent base for a platformer MMO.
Although, the main problem with any open source game isn't the engine as much as the complete and total lack of artists (then after that it's sucky primitive engines as well as sucky primitive graphics on Linux which is often the main platform). -
Moar cake!
