VG sales numbers - Page 41

HolyAvengerOne · 02-17-2007, 02:10 PM

I'm kinda surprised by the "well over 100k" & "only straight box sales" number. I would have thought, with only 12 servers, that the population was below that, but heh, that was just an impression I guess.

Jesus christ, when did we get to Vegas, Hiram? The lights!

PS. I'm sure advertising other forums in your sig is going to get you in great with the mods around here.

I was confused as to how that would be possible when I was afk on a boat the whole time. As I sat there confused, I got the "placing character on the boat" message, and my character came back to life on the boat, without my input at all. A few seconds later, a breath meter came up. I decided not to intervene to see what would happen. I died from drowning again.

As far as I could tell, I never left any tombstones because I never clicked the button, and even if I had left tombstones, they'd be out in the middle of the ocean. I just died over and over again to drowning while afk on a boat.

It's funny because it's true.

Ouch.

Vanguard's boats are the _last_ place to go afk. The key to boat survival is to move after zoning and to stay alert because you do get drowning issues (you don't have to fall off the boat to drown, you can drown while standing on the deck).

Never go afk on a Vanguard boat.

Teleporters??? But, but Brad promised us back on the Sigil forums, long travel and no shortcuts....gee more of the same old shit I see.

I guess when you lie enough you don't even realize that you are doing it anymore.

What elementary school programmer wrote this shit code? Even EQ was better then this suck ass crap.

Froofy-D · 02-17-2007, 03:45 PM

Hehe yeah I remember the EQ boats circa 99-00 worked fairly well. Then, I suppose long after the original programmers left, boats became irrevocably broken somehow. So SOE just threw in some teleporters.

I guess elevators and boats in MMOGs are a hard problem to solve. Anyone ever been insta-gibbed on elevators for no apparent reason in either Undercity or Plane of Knowledge? Ever been dumped in the water on zoning on EQ boats or WOW boats/zepplins?

Don't play?

The porters are temporary until they fix the boat issues and yes its fucking annoying but its not a big deal really with the porters. Trust me travel is still a big part of this game even with them.

Yes the game is buggy, yes it sucks if its too much please stop playing and uninstall. Easy solution.

For many of us the bugs are annoying as shit, especially the FUCKING MEMORY LEAK sigil still refuses to address properly but regardless I'm still having a blast and choose to deal with it.

Lawl. EQ 1 had fucked up boats. VG has fucked up boats....

I love posts where the poster pretends to know something about coding or the game when he neither programs or plays.

sounds like some SOE programmers. verant programmers did fine with the boat code while SOE guys were totally stumped and put in teleporters

Hey Tad, is there one these teleporters in Kahl? and how much does it cost to use it?

tad10 · 02-17-2007, 04:17 PM

The code doesn't fucking work. The programmers:

A. Are incompetent
B. Don't care
C. Both of the above

Take your pick!
