  1. Yeah I'm not a fan of one ability governing damage with a sword and a magical attack personally. Two would be fine though. One for physical, one for magical.
  2. Not a fan of one attribute governing bonus damage to physical AND magical attacks. Unless there's a soul reason for it, that just sounds way too gamey for my liking.
  3. They won't be showing off a VS video until they finalize their rendering pipeline for environment art. One they;re deadset on that they'll re-render the areas I assume?
  4. That is a concept, not an area map. The trees are sprite models enlarged and it's the same two models repeated.
  5. I wish I read that last week, came to work today excited to read the new update during lunch, but noep
  6. Developer consoles are very useful in all games. I used the infinity engine one a bunch of times when Biff the Understudy showed up to say someone's dialogue.
  7. I don't think it's silly at all. 60Hz vs 120Hz is easily noticeable. I've been a long time CRT user and only when 120Hz LCD screens came out did I get one, but I still prefer my 24" Widescreen CRT screen to my 120Hz TN panel, because of the better colors and no input lag. I play competitive FPS games which is one of the main reasons I enjoy 120Hz more, but even in an RPG or an RTS (such as Dota 2), the mouse feel of 60 vs 120Hz is noticeable and so is the general smoothness. I am hoping that Project Eternity allows for framerates of 120+, but being Unity I am doubtful. I have yet to encounter a Unity game that runs well. The current overclockable 1440p IPS screens that can do 120Hz are pretty nice, the one I had (qnix) that I am getting a warranty replacement for is a single input DVI-D with no scaler or OSD, so it has pretty much 0 input lag, the pixel response time is good enough to offer 120 viewable frames (Without frame skipping). The qnix/x-star have some visual side effects from overclocking but the Overlords and Catleaps are pretty flawless if you get a good panel.
  8. AD&D 2E in 1999. Dark Sun campaign, characters and storyline borrowed from The Verdant Passage book by Troy Denning. I played a Half-Elf Fighter and much like the video game Shattered Lands I was a gladiator and escaped the Slave pens and set off into the desert. I made it to Level 7, but unfortunately I was killed by Ettins that waylaid a Caravan I was guarding. I killed one of them but the second one killed me with a minimum damage hit with his club, and I think he was only a hit or two away from dying too.
  9. How many fellow concept artistes have joined you on this Project recently? One of the updates past said your ranks have been bolstered. Do you know if you'll be doing any of the NPC or character portraits for the game?
  10. Crude thick plate is pretty good against rifled musket bullets too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly
  11. The limits are probably driver based like DVI-D. Fortunately the DVI-D limit has been lifted thanks to this guy http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-NVIDIA-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
  12. That plate is very thin, 1.5mm - throw in some 5mm plate and see how much gets through
  13. Any word on whether you're switching to Octane Rendering for the final environment art pipedream pipeline ?
  14. Depends on the character. I think (but can't be certain) that it's level 8 or level 9 where you get your last full hit dice worth of HP, after that it becomes a fractional value + CON bonus I usually used the mods that gave you & monsters max hp per level.
  15. Thac0 never bothered me. I can do addition and subtraction. I just have to laugh when people use thac0 as an example of bad D&D 2E rules. Sure it's unintuitive but the end result is it takes you a second longer to calculate your chance to hit.
  16. I would just like to suggest that regarding the Project Eternity mousepads, would it be possible to get them done by one of the gaming mouse manufacturing companies rather than an 'office supplies' company. I play competitive FPS games and your standard office mousepad doesn't offer much space and generally do not last very long and don't use the best cloth. They tend to wear down very fast. Razer offer smallish size mousepads such as this one on their Goliathus pad, which is a good pad that tends to last a while (unless you spill something on it). Puretrak or Steelseries (the QcK) would be another option.
  17. There are overclockable ones. I have a QNIX QX2710 PLS panel that overclocks to 1440p 120Hz, unfortunately it's damaged so I'm getting a warranty replacement. The screens are a bit hit and miss though (with backlight bleed and such). The Catleap 2B extreme ones are a safer buy but they are expensive.
  18. Thac0 is exactly the same as d20 positive it's just you read the numbers differently. Mechanically there is no difference, it is merely a matter of presentation
