Mortal Online

The tightest spot in wow I can think of is the cave leading to BFD, so yeah.

And to derail even further, I hate UE3. More specifically, I hate the fucking bright white plastic sheen on any model thats standing in shadow. The specular mapping used on models SUCKS ASS. In Bioshock they made it glow purple instead and it looked somewhat artsy but was still horribly distracting. It made Gears of War look completely retarded. It was driving me crazy in CoD4 until I found out that thankfully it was the only one of the games that allowed you to specular off for models without losing it everywhere else. The game is improved a hundred times over by doing so.

And yeah, I look forwarding to killing random name of random place and scoring the mighty prefix item type of suffix

Giving this a bump in hopes people who don't know about the game will take a gander. I personally thought the intro was fantastic; is there a beta going on right now?

[TwiNCannoN]

Alpha supposedly starting up at the end of this month, with any luck we'll hopefully see some new media soon.

Going to keep an eye on this one, will probably be released before Darkfall.

Pete Rose will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame before Darkfall is released.

Blizzard's 2nd MMO's 3rd expansion will be before Darkfall is released.

Like you and Fury with no mana bars?

It reads like the old Horizon FAQ's and Design Docs.

Info on PvP flagging from todays newsletter:


* Neutral/Blue players are innocent (well, as innocent as they get) and it’s not ok for you to damage them. You may not steal from them, or cast suspicious spells on them either. Nor poison them. If you do so, you become Allowed/Grey. Kill enough of them and you will eventually be flagged as a Murderer/Red.

* Allowed/Gray players have behaved badly in some way against you or someone else in the last few minutes, meaning you can attack them without becoming Grey for everybody else. But remember, if you attack them first, they have the right to attack you back! (Meaning they see you as Grey.)

* Murderers/Red players have committed several murders, and you better look out for them. You can attack them without turning Grey for everybody else, but if you attack first, they have the right to attack you back! (Meaning they see you as Grey.)

And:


#

Cities and villages may have guard zones, where it’s possible to call for the guards to capture or kill any Grey or Red player, if they’re not already doing so.

#

Certain merchants may choose not to trade with Grey or Red players.

#

Players of every color may take the opportunity to attack Grey or Red players, as they can do so without getting “Grey for all” themselves.
# Red players may loose stats if they resurrect too soon after being killed. Also, most healers will simply refuse to resurrect murderers.

God, I pleaded with the people involved with the rulesets for the North American Lineage 2 game to have that very ruleset. That would have completely changed the dynamic of PvP in that game, and made it possible to deal with the Korean Farmers.


Oh well.....

Carbon copy of old UO style, nothing better.

I do like that they are making certain things a bit more intuitive though, like items actually highlighting the notoriety color instead of having to rely on the color of the corpse which was deceptive at times.

If thats in game footage I am intrigued. A whole lot of peripheral movement and animations that are pretty damn good if thats true.

lol see EQ2 Alpha footage for details on why the quality in that teaser more than likely will never be delivered. They scrapped the entire engine. The original EQ2 teaser looked nothing like what was released. They just used space computers and CGI to render it for the teaser only.

Anyone remember getting excited about EQ2's textures? All I know is I would have loved to play the original EQ2 before they revamped the gameplay and textures just before it went into beta. Check that lighting out. Insane. The video focuses on pre-nerf Befallen. How they went from this to the shitpile that was released I have no idea.

I for one would kill or pay well to play a game with the original rulesets of Ultima Online. it was by far the best pvp experience for me. I spent way too much time hunting bluebies, skilling my player killers and having fun at "King of the Hill" PvP events we used to organise...

god that were some good times.

Drachenfels where are you?
