Jade Empire = Best RPG ever that should've been made into an MMORPG.

Want me to explain? Eh, I'll explain.

It's basically a cooler somewhat harder version of Fable and KotOR.

Set in olde China, you use lots of "karateish" attack styles. These range from twin axes to rifles (a sort of hidden feature :D). Know what rocks? Blocking, and most of all, dodging and running around! Sure a rifle may hit insanely hard but a good player can leap side to side and eventually roll right into the rifle-person, following up with a sweet combo.

Now Jade Empire is, sadly, single player, but if they worked it online they could make various styles have a sort of effect over each other. Legendary Strike, a fists and kicks style, has a lot of power over ranged and ghost units (ghost units can't be hurt with any weapons fashioned out of metal), because it strikes fast and it strikes with your guy's Chi without depleting it. It also doesn't drain your focus (an ability that allows your guy to perform insane combos and dodging). Various sword styles, however, would be for more melee combatants or, more importantly, groups of units (and apparently that's also what those staves with the blade on the end are for too...they hit enemies in front AND in back of you).

Diablo2's saving grace was the hardcore games, which weeded idiots right the hell out. I never was able to bring myself to play hardcore though because of blizzard's unreliable crappy servers. Sorry, I'm not taking a character loss because you guys can't handle a stable connection.

Blizzard has horrible servers? You should see Ensemble *sigh*

Age of Mythology (especially without the expansion as that kind of ruins the fun with the incredibly weird Atlantean "race") = Best RTS ever. The only issue is that Ensemble's server setup sucks horribly. You can't join half of the custom games (not like they're that good anyway because AoM has a HORRIBLE editor) and every so often you get a server split in the middle of a match.

Soda = Sud. My nickname for him because everytie I see it it looks like soda lol.

To round this argument off:

Everyone has their own tastes. I find WoW addicting and fun, though it might not be the 'smartest' thing out there.

To each their own, and it's not worth it to bash something because it is not your cup of tea. (Including me)

I thought we bashed you due to the lack of tolerance we have for your bs?

Dry humor.

Anyway, Con's got a point, as scary as that statement is for you people.

Stop discussing the game. Stop bashing this map and that game. I find it disturbing and annoying that you people create threads that go up to about 8 pages sometimes saying "oh... We don't like this game!" when no one really cares.

Who cares if more people play WoW the WC nowadays?! It's got a beginning, and as thus, as an end. Thus, it will fall into dust like the old shitty games we don't play anymore.

Who cares if people play DotA?! Don't like it? Don't play it! There, it's out of your life and way. Ta da! It's freaking magic, people.

Dammit!

8 pages of people not caring? That's a record.

To correct that statement, Alexander doesn't care. I mean crap, if everything was just subjective to personal taste, shit like movie review sites or the late siskel and ebert and etc. wouldn't exist. Critics are present in every type and form of media, product, activity, etc. because someone who's informed needs to be there to warn people of crap (or enlighten those that are partaking of crap why it is).

BTW I really need to hire you for public service ads!
"Teachers, kids don't like reading! Why are you always trying to push reading on them? Who cares if some kids like to read and others don't, if they don't like reading then why should you push it on them? Quit worrying about it and push it out of your life and it'll be gone like magic people!"

I just don't see the point to constantly and REPEATIVELY pointing out the flaws and bad parts about something.

And would every one get the hell out of my face already?

He's trying to get a rise out of you Alex, and he knows it's working.

But it's funny! :D (Don't hex me plz, I'm an innocent bystander :()

ROFL, that was great, I loved: Red Orc hits you for 9000,0000,000 damage.

Oh if someone says WoW is bad, say: Play the f**king game, then come back, and say it sucks.

Because how can you know that a game sucks if you haven't played it?

Hmm bashing i saw Prince of Persia bashing there...

if you are talking about "The Sands of Time"... "The Sands of Time" is the only RPG, MMORPG, RTS, or anything i have ever played, heard of, or seen that blends that puzzel aspects INTO the terrian. I love the Zelda sersis and am eagerly awaiting TP, but face it...

OoT= Huge Web in floor, hmm a big platform above it, hmm jump, hmm no more web.
PoP SoT= Wow a sweet wall, nice textures, hmm where is the bridge? O wait if i look over the egea, thats not just a texture its a leadge i can fallow! And those holes were bricks fell out will make a ladder.

If your talking about orginal? I haven't played it much, only recently unlocked it in SoT but i like it so far.

Well im going to say everyone has tastes, so lets try to keep this a calm, polite, sensiable debate about MMORPG specifics and in general.

I for one like Runescape for a little while (perhaps 4 months as a non-memeber) but it did not live up to what i wanted, (mostly after being pwned in the wildy by pker teams of 5 while my noob team couldn't hit them while in level 20 wildy (never have lvl 20 differences in your team)) and so i quit. It had some good quests, a little basic and nothing to orignal. Runescape should not be called a MMORPG a MMOGame perhaps but nothing of a RPG (Roleplaying game after all).

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
