Playing chess or butt darts with your drill instructor does not count. Either does countless hours of keyboard molesting about the mathematical reasoning or theory of faulty graphics on the forums.

Despite your opinion of me not being the sharpest knife in the drawer I graduated tech school and basic 3 years ago (not that I was in the Army anyway, the Airforce calls them Training Instructors in Basic and Training Leaders in Tech School). Never said I always had a fiance hence my not spending "hours" of keyboard molesting recently. It would take you hours to type what I did? Man I thought I was a slow typer.

My point was that just cause something has always worked a certain way doesn't mean it always will. What is gained from experience is dependant on how you utilize those experiences in your mind.

If I don't want there to be a debate there wont be. I care little to ban someone from a board for being annoying and actually find you pretty humorous. Sorry ULO, I care little to argue with you because you're ability holds little weight in the realm of gaming. I'm sure that leveling a to0n to 15 over the span of a few months in DAoC carries a lot of weight in your gaming community bro but not here.

Glad I'm at least pretty humurous. I didn't realize we were discussing anything related to ability of gaming. Not that it gives anyweight but for the sake of accuracy my to0n got to 34, which isn't bad when you're a midguard archer, play at late hours, and are constantly neglected by the guild members that are on (the later levels, when I was lower the armor I was able to purchase fromt he guild helped alot as well as the guilds standard hook-up. it was mid-level support/grouping that was lacking during my play hours). I don't need to carry weight in my gaming communit cause it's people I work with. I could care less about weight since it doesn't affect my in game potential.

Quote:
Kind of reminds me of your self proclaimed and exaggerated mathematical sk33lz. The core problem lays in the art work. While playing DAoC, AC2 and SB the models of SB were the least desirable. Add to that it looks like Wolfpack took a shit in computer language and came out with the programing for Shadowbane and you have the product. I would have made my response a little more like yours, or intellectual; but I don't want to sound like the jackass. Also I need you to understand it.

Yeah the lands of Hib and Alb just make you wanna hug a tree don't they :P Haven't tried AC2. Not that graphics are the end all for me, but others have made that point so I won't beat it to death any more than I just have.

That's great! Want some cake?

Not if you made it :P

Quote:
Zeris, agreed. The enjoyable aspect of Shadowbane was the ever changing world in game. I think a lot of folks will be able to over look graphics for this game. I really wish they would streamline the interface as well, but you'll get used to it.

This isn't really a response to that quote but that said I expect ShadowBane to be lacking in quite a few areas as compared to their promises. What I expect/expected that drew my interest was a reasonable amount of player skill involved in combat (imho to suck at fighting in existing games when using a reasonably equiped,leveled, and speced character you have to be highly unskilled) and an individually controlled, lasting, and evolving impact of defeat, victory, and survival.

If shadowbane meets my expectation I will play it regardless of how many/few BWC and people I know IRL are playing. If not I will take a 2nd look at SWG and a 1st look at whatever I haven't looked at to determine what game suits me. If BWC ends up with a decent showing in the game I play I'll be there in full.
Sure, beleifs exist that are too rediculous to be true. You might be surprized how many things you laugh at are true.

ULO I was laughing reading your comments.

IMHO after playing SB for a couple of days it's a giant POS!

Graphics = suck.
Lag = huge = suck.
Bugs = huge = suck.
Point-n-click = gay.

It feels like Doom 2 graphics meets Dungeon Seige in the buggiest title I've ever played. Anarchy Online beta was more stable and richer overall as a game.

The real problem with SB is it's 5 years old and totally OUTDATED. Retrieving items from corpses LMFAO - no way I'm every doing that again.

It's an outdated game with sub-par graphics and a ton of bugs. Not worth buying on March 25th.

I thought it was HILARIOUS when I read the billing section and it said $119.00 for 1 year subscription and you un-lock all 3 restricted races ... they just know this game is a flop and are trying to get as much cash as they can.

Well on the test servers which on specific people that have been in beta a long time actually get the graphically rich build of SB and I have seen the screens they look good.

Bugs yup. Your probly only lvl 10 I bet.

Newb island= Laggiest place on map.

You dont get any powers worth shit till 20+

Games isnt about running around with a group of 30 people jerking off.

Its about haveing a city of 180 people and siegeing another city with 180 people. And haveing battles with 40+ people. I have played DAOC LoL 20+ people in a fight you cant move. Aerynth is not laggy most of the time at all and they have 2k people on it. Other servers are because they are faggots and wont up the bandwidth for beta.

Ask Supremme he was there with us last night while we sieged he was our support summoner :) so I dont think he sah to much action.


Bah point and click owns you.

It is best way to play MMORPGs, just need to get used to it and it gives best conrtol over the game and what your doing. Guess it doesnt matter as much in games with lest complex playing but SB it works great.

Heya Caly,

I hope SB gets stable since I'm bored out of my tree lately in DAOC :(

I'll be popping in here and there until beta ends. I can't see myself buying this title on March 25th though unless I see some improvements in stability/lag and can explore/level a bit more to get the feel of it.

what about this shintuk guy? he posted today... If we don't have enough people in SB when it goes gold, maybe we should just be a part of the BA...

"I am from The Frost Horde. We have joined in an alliance with other barbarian type nation named the Barbarian alliance (duh). I believe Law has stated that you had interest in Shadowbane and and that you are our allies. We are wondering if you would be interested in joining the BA. We are having a meeting this Sunday. Any questions feel free to contact me on ICQ-237659711 or MSN-Shintuk."
