... and all the other things floating around out there / Everspace
« on: April 25, 2016, 09:19:40 pm »
Just found this at random. Looks like it could grow into something really good. It was obviously greenlit on Steam and I might give it a try once released.

Is this true? If so, now Europeans can really sit aside and lament over what Europe has been reduced to. The things the forerunner of the EU would do just to please the keeper of refugees... Don't know if I should cry or laugh at this. Crying would be more appropriate though, I guess.

General Discussion / Save siege, remove the damn conquest maps already!
« on: January 31, 2016, 10:21:18 pm »
For the last couple of days, people have been rekindling interest in siege. I have uninstalled and haven't been playing for months, but I am watching closely. As far as I have learnt from Güner, conquest is killing the population as it has always been doing.

Ever since siege died, we the siege enthusiasts have been crying out loud: Remove conquest maps. Most of them are not optimized for low populations. I know there are people out there still desperately waiting for siege to return. But it won't happen like this. Somebody, please go ahead and do what is necessary. I think Dupre might be able to do it. Not sure if he has access to map rotations though. But somebody do it already. It seems that there is still hope for siege.

General Off Topic / I don't even...

So, I read this article about the newly discovered tallest tree of the world.

I scroll down to the comments to see one comment I really approve of:

Guys… Metric system… Please…

And a wild American appears. Actually more than one of them, but this guy sticks out. Easily the winner:

Metric system??Really?? besides the fact that you can google”what is 379 feet in metric units” as we americans do when reading EU articles,you should realize that coolaide drinking EU,s swamped by refugees groping your women and socialist ideas that have led to the failure of your region makes you second place in the world AT LEAST!! So don’t expect the world to live up to your failed,second best,mesurments.

As the title says, I don't even...




Here goes the actual link, if you are curious.

Literally forcing me to explain why I think a specific game is bad in a totally unrelated thread and then severing it into a separate thread.


The one, whoever it is, responsible for this entire shit sucks dinosaur balls. Enough said.

General Off Topic / Need GPU halp!
« on: April 14, 2015, 10:48:43 am »
I am stuck between the choices of GTX 970 and R9 290X.

By far, I have read quite a bit about both choices and the 970 is heavier on one hand of the scale. It will consume half the power needed by 290X, although I have a very powerful PSU and that won't even be a problem. I know at 300W, the 290X is going to work like a room heater as well and it is the better choice for a resolution over 1080p. The 290X also comes with double the bus width of 970, yet Nvidia cards seem to perform great even with 256 bit.
(Note: For those who are curious, my current card is a Radeon HD 6950, a good old trusty GPU that has served me well so far but needs to retire and rest.)

I mean I have already kind of decided. Still I want some input on this.


Also, my processor is an AMD Phenom II x6 1100 BE. I think the processor is going to be fine for a very longer while. I would like to gather your opinions on this too nevertheless. Does any of you believe this one requires an upgrade?

Also be informed that my primary concern is probably to play Witcher 3 comfortably once it comes out and be ready for any other big title I might be interested in later.

General Off Topic / Another jolly internet story from Turkey
« on: April 06, 2015, 10:02:11 pm »
Facebook, Twitter and Youtube got a ban today. And another ban is on the way for Google within 4 hours.

I fucking love being Turkish :lol:

Saw it on itch.io.

Looks like a fun little multiplayer game to waste some time with.

Title says it all. Apparetly, some dude had been trying to uncover the details of the cancelled game for about 2 years now. This game was cancelled in 2012 as a stillborn project and Nosgoth, the f2p multiplayer version, was what remained.

Some people on Youtube claim that it wouldn't live up to the name and was only being celebrated by those who had been having wet dreams about a sequel. I personally think it shows potential. I haven't watched the entire half an hour video. Skipped forward here and there. All I can say is that the setting looks interesting. Maybe combat needs to be toned down, because the main character seems to be ultra agile by default (which should happen in the process of progression).

Another criticism was that the setting and main character design were not loyal to the original series. It is a correct remark. Yet I would like to view this like what Ninja Theory did with Devil May Cry. I mean it could work.

So, what are your opinions?

Scene Editing / Fallen Abbey jump-in wall and sniping nest
« on: February 14, 2015, 12:29:55 am »
These two places on this map were not intended. I witnessed admins stating it, warning people for it and awarding kicks for stubborn breachers. As you can see in the screenshot below, that fallen tower piece (it looks like one at least) can be climbed by attackers if they walk to the far left. A ranged character can then safely shoot defenders from behind while his teammates are rampaging below. Defenders cannot reach that place, although by the looks of it, one is supposed to be able to get to that place from the defending side as well.

Same place, same old shit. Walking far left again, an attacker can jump in from that crack in the wall.
(click to show/hide)

As I said, I witnessed admin action being taken and I don't think these two glitchy spots were intended at all. Problem is that the crpg crowd, which is known to be sometimes even more retarded than spoiled little kids, don't give a fuck. Everytime this map is on, at least one slut will mount himself on that tower to safely shoot people and several others will think they are way too smart to just play a regular game, fight people and make their way to the breach. Why the fuck would one do that when you can walk along the wall and jump in? Right?

Just today, I warned and warned and warned people. Only to see more retards pouring in. Gotta say the one ranged person I warned stopped shooting from atop that place. But the wall jumpers didn't stop.

Now, please do tell me that there is an active scene editor who can fix that part of the map and add the fix to the upcoming patch. Please... I know it is easier said than done but please make that part just a solid tall wall that can surely ward off smartasses.

Thanks in advance.

EU (Official) / Ban Varadin
« on: December 29, 2014, 09:23:48 pm »
1. Name of your character involved: Cock_Blockula
2. Name of offending character(s): Varadin
3. Time and server, as accurately as possible: EU_2, somewhere between 21:50 and 22:10 CET (unable to provide exact time because I wasted a bit of it trying to decide on what to do)
4. Written description of what happened, the whole story. Also what happened before and after.: We were on conquest. Varadin entered a bit later and started taunting me as usual. I muted him soon. So, we started losing flags on defense and had to withdraw as far as the second to the last flag. On this map (not sure what its name was), you are supposed to keep the last gate open so as to easily defend that second to last flag as soon as you spawn. Otherwise it becomes almost impossible to reach it and you lose it fast. Fuma decides to shut the gate (throwing constant voice spam about his intention). We warn him that he shouldn't along with the reason why. He does it anyway. I ban poll him. As you can see it is not an unfounded poll. It doesn't get accepted. He revenge ban polls me and it doesn't get accepted either. But I am not mad about that. I can ignore his rage ban poll. Then I realize, by looking at other people's replies, that although muted, Varadin is still taunting me. So I basically write "Tell that moron I muted him". Then comes another ban poll for me from Varadin.

It didn't get accepted either but I am mad as hell about his insolence. Note that this is the second time he is pulling that shit at me. I didn't report his first rage ban poll, but Uther was there and he will remember. I guess we all agreed that we could let that one go. But this time, this bastard has taken it too far. Shittalking and ban polling when confronted. Please bring this moron to justice. I am fed up with him.
5. Why you think the offender did what he did.*: Because tryhard, angsty, moronic teenager. Simple as that.
6. Multiple Screenshots: This is where things get tricky. I left the server convinced that I had screenshots, but it looks like I had pressed scroll lock instead of Print Screen. But if you could check the logs, you will see the entire story for yourself. It is evident as hell.
7. Names of players who witnessed what happened.**: As far as I remember, there was Rapo, Sad Hobo, Mala, Darksoul_Gjallar_Norse, a couple of Greys like Obi Wan and Armiin (though not sure if they would testify) and a bunch of other people I can't remember. However, everyone has pretty much witnessed the incident. And they will confirm what happened.

General Discussion / Nice categorization

Obviously this depicts console gamers, but I believe it also categorizes most of us nicely :D
Feel free to add other categories.

cRPG Technical problems / Servers changed?
« on: December 12, 2014, 08:56:38 pm »
Because I have been getting horrible ping lately (from 50-ish to all the way to 170 now) and it's not my ISP. I have already contacted them and outside the game, my ping, speed, jitter and packet loss tests are completely alright. Just whenever I login, ping goes batshit. It has been like this for about a month I guess.
