this is hilarious

nope, you are a developer, you don't need to be a fan of yourself EDIT: never mind, i just realized what you meant

...erm, i guess you mean 'Atari', not 'Obsidian'

just think about it: the game itself is already finished since 2007 winter, but not yet out because they wait for the 'security sumtin' to be finished aswell EDIT: i know it wont be Starforce, but i fear similar 'effects'

http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=637984 Well, not sure if this is new for you, but for me it is It seems like MoW is already ready for a long time, but not released because it will include a new security system ...i hope to hear from devs that the 'security' won't be like that of Starforce...

Prestige classes indeed do not need to be less effective than base classes, but rather should overall be equally effective as base classes, but in a different way (e.g. through specialization, or through combination of features of other classes, or...). At the moment (in unmodified 3.5E), that is not the case as many prestige classes are clearly superior to the base classes, which makes further advancement in the relevant base classes pointless after the criteria of the prestige class are met. okay...as example: please tell me why a prestige class called 'Archmage' should not be superior to the 'Wizard' ? EDIT: the whole idea behind prestige classes is that you advance into something new, you are still what you archieved in your base class(es), but advancing further makes you only stronger than some base class anyway Why would a simple soldier wish to become a commando if being soldier would be the same effective as being trained as a commando? It would make no sense

hmm, xard i want to notify you that you exceeded the size of the allowed signature, about a year ago i had to cut down/change mine because of that aswell, i asume you will be addressed becoz of this by a mod soon, so just 'Preemptive edit' it

prestige classes are a new level of understanding in a profession usually, i don't think they need to be less effective than base classes, the difference between base classes and prestige classes are like between a taxi driver and a Forma 1 driver, and that is good so

You're overthinking it. Putting weapons into holsters has been done for some time. I've got a PSOne games where characters can sheathe swords. I can't fathom why you'd want or need to get physics involved. There's no need for the holster to actually "hold" the weapon. In fact, there's no need for the holster to even be a seperate object from the weapon when the weapon is holstered. It just needs to look like a weapon in a holster. Which should be more of a modelling task than physics. The complication I see is, how do you actually sling a shotgun over your back? Do we actually have straps in existence that pin firearms to people's backs allowing free use of their hands with another firearm? i agree, to have the holster seperately is not needed, the animation to put away/take out the weapon is important

I was trying to get at the fact that the average CoC party consists of something like a baker, university professor, prostitute, and 40 year-old private eye with a bastball bat and a .38 revolver between all of them. DG parties tend to be a lot better prepared, organized, and equipped. They also tend to fight a lot of human opponents, like members of The Fate/Maj-12/Karotechia, etc. you people talk so much about coc and such, that i became interested in it, however i already have 4 campaigns going on and cant GM it, and I dont think the others want a game with higher fatality rates than vampire anyway

Yes, half-assed comes to mind. But it *is* just an expansion after all... You can't target an improved invisible creature, so you can't remove their immunity, I believe that's the problem? True Sight? Anyway, ToB was originally meant to be BG3, but they seem to have just gave up and did a half-assed Xpack instead. That's why I installed Ascension - hoping it'd add a bit of life. But as it stands I'm struggling to find purpose to continue BG2 normal - it's all just too easy... but more than that, it really is boring. Maybe I've just played chapter 2 way too much. Yea, I'll go to spellhold and sort things out. Wild Mage Wiiiiiillllld.... Mage See how easy a time of it you have when, right in the midst of a battle, your Mage casts fireball x2 on your party. Tale, you take your 'job' as Max a bit too seriously!

ah, so "action-rpg"-s are for you cartoons, because the action part I guess cyberpunk and shadowrun then aswell

...maybe i could accept 'overpowered' as an opinion, even if all the NPC-s and monsters will use the same system, thus a balance (like in every other RPG) would exist, but 'cartoony'? If you mean the illustrations it is your decision how to implement things into the campaign, and I can't find any 'cartoony' thing in the 4.0 otherwise. No rubber chicken summoning, no 'anvil on the head' spell, and no 'banana skin trap'. I am really intetrested in what 'cartoony' means for you.

interesting, so, in the MEPC forum, where this problem emerged, it is now not anymore allowed to discuss it or complain about it (not to mention petitions) your thoughts?

If I can make a suggestion? Make it like the letters A and P are middle of epic fight of awesome propotions. The A letter would be dualwielding ninjas dualwielding katanas and the letter P would be dualwielding robots dualwielding rocket launchers. It would be Epic. /signed. Haha, indeed While you're at it you might as well sign this i signed it, 'half-way'

You really are dense aren't you. Is situational awareness a requirement for moderation ? Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't catch that... EDIT: I don't want to see any form of persecution on these fora. It's against the rules, and it's beneath the calibre of people present. Let's focus on the debate, not the debaters. some other forums solved such problems with simply banning the topics 'religion', 'racism', and 'politics'

i sign it, partially i still wish to have 1-2 weapons that are propably energy ones, have lower damage, but have infinite ammo

i think the creators were too fast to decide to make this into 4.0, i think it is a good system, but it would be more fitting as a seperate one, not as a dnd decendant

If I can make a suggestion? Make it like the letters A and P are middle of epic fight of awesome propotions. The A letter would be dualwielding ninjas dualwielding katanas and the letter P would be dualwielding robots dualwielding rocket launchers. It would be Epic. /signed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_%28letter%29 i think it is pretty obvious that the logo should include 'alpha' and looking at the places it will have, maybe some sword & smg in the background (not sure about this one) edit: maybe something like these tatoos: http://www.religioustattoos.net/Other_Tatt...pha_omega_9.php http://www.religioustattoos.net/Other_Tatt...pha_omega_5.php

you know, investigation is also a class in its own, and why shouldn't they have levels anyway?

good for you, me and others tend to not just reinstall the game now and then (again and again) but also format the drivers once per two months (atleast i do that), and there is always the possibility that the PC/hard-drive breaks... there goes all your 'reinstallation tickets' (or what the .... is it called) also this drm is atleast not starforce, even more people would freak out then

the game 'darkstar1' between others also had 'buildin bugs' for the crackers, but in less than 2 months they released a version that solved it. There is no way a developer can defeat the torrenters and such, only way would be to solve this: inbuilt chips into the PC when i hunted for torrent sites i realized how nonsense my job is, that is one of the causes why i left it. It was like trying to drink the ocean, or trying to reach the moon, with juming. i hope bioware releases an un-drm version later, atleast till then, i myself spared the cash for the pc upgrade would be nice doh to know if any graphs will be or not modified for ME2, so i could buy the things for the pc accoringly...
