Got rammed by a car. They ran a red light. That ahd been red for a while, Now my driver's door doesn't open, the back door on th left side of the car doesn't close. Yay.

I think it was That said... Honestly, when looking at the backstory, especially from a "grim, gritty, we are all doomed" first edition point of view and not the "musclebound military awesomeness" later editions, there is a lot which could be explored in an interesting RPG, that goes beyond FPS and "burn the heretic". It would sadly (because as it probably shows I feel that all work on GW franchises has steadily deteriorated over the years) it would have to explore a niche of the franchise, but it could become interesting. Still, there is enough drama in the main 40k backstory as it is, to not rule out character development. The story of the Thousand Sons would have made for great inspiration. Fulgrim's pride and fall are a bit more boring, but still. The Dark Angels, both with their dark secret but also specific instances: Cloud Runner who, after the genestealers nearly wiped out his homeplanet, left the legion to lead his people. Then there is the old novel Space Marine, that explores the lives of three young men from the same hive, but from different levels, who are recruited into the Imperial Fists at the same time and from dispicing each other have to form a bond of brotherhood. 40k has a lot of potential for interesting character building and tension. It just has, in the main franchises, no space for romance and sex. The most fun they could have with the franchise though would have been in a rogue trader or necromunda setting.

Maybe 40k would actually be a good thing for Bioware. The setting does not really allow for the formula the studio seems to be trapped with. This could be a chance to try something different. Even though it sounds like a hoax

Hehe. I must admit my first reaction was "Oh God, Space Marines love interests with emotional trauma..."

Finished with PvP in Defiance for now. Got my 100 kills for the achievement. Send in a report for an exploit. Send in a couple of bug reports. Got an unlock that I should not have gotten. Now I can't gather the data recordings that I would have needed to get the unlock. Send a bug report about that. Kinda annoyed.

Oooh they did make shards you have to select? That's confident

Ok, anyone on NeverWinter Nights Online, Star Trek Online or Champions Online, feel free to type: /channel_join ObsidianOrder That should work. Hurlshot, Cryptic games usually do not have multiple servers as such. Instead they spawn instances as places fill up. So you are all in teh same Neverwinter, but you may be in a different instance. Clicking on teh minimap should allow you to fix that, same as in TOR.

If more people from the forum are playing it, should I set up an Obsidian Order custom chat channel?

possibly the best in the series.

Thing is, she is never in firefox as such. It's the game launcher that is being crappy.

Finished Game Dev Tycoon. Final score: 51024138 Hmmm. That is strange. No, it is not a browser game. I use modzilla and never had a problem with a cryptic launcher. I think it wants the cookies for the shop/news stuff in the browser window. No idea what's going on there.

Yeah it will. Heard that from a few people

And then youll have to create a new engine that includes Headset Support

send you a friend invite. Just check that It will probably tell you that I am offline or in Millenium City. It can be confusing at times to see people as online but in zones you never heard of because its a different game:)

Hmm RPG Pinball? Ok that's just my kind of bizzare, voted

Very much so. Was going to ask, is the player the person being told the story and who will set out on an adventure, or the one telling the story who by then will have retired?

Cryptic games use yoru account name for your friend list, ignore list etc. It's your global handle. It allows you to 1) have non-unique character names (which is awesome in my opinion) and 2) find people regardless of what character they are on and what game they are on. So if you wanted to talk to me for example, it doesn't matter which of my 20+ characters I am using at the time, you can simply /t @melkathi, hi and if I am on, I will get the message regardless of what character I am playing and whether I am on Champions Online, Star Trek Online or Neverwinter Online. The various player made chat channels obviously also span all three games - which can make help channels rather confusing So if your account for example is keyrock and your character is Murzush, in chat you probably look something on the lines of Murzush@Keyrock. The importnat thing only truly being the @something part.

I'm german, so to me it is

What is your @global Keyrock? Anyway, been doing PvP in Defiance. I had heard it was skill based. Yeah right... To a large extent it is who's cloaking runs out first and has someone with an orange, fully modded shotgun behind them: one shot - dead. Guess I'll try to farm the remaining kills I need for the achievement and then ignore it. Having fun with the group content so far. Nothing challenging, but fun.

Argh. Why did I look? I like warhammer, but that fake germanic always makes me cringe.

And if you guys end up playign more but need people for the group content, let me know. I should know enough people in that game that can help you out. *shrug* And you can always try and find me at @melkathi I am not on much, but all three Cryptic MMOs share a chat server, allowing for cross-game chatting.

You can solo their other MMOs very easily. It shouldn't be a problem with this one.

You actually have to research AAA in the R&D department and it becomes a fourth choice in game size. But apparently you need to have a few specialists to handle that kind of game, otherwise it will tank So I'm trying to get research points to at least traina couple of people up for Story lead, Graphics lead and possibly a third category.

Have you got your R&D department yet? I just went into full research mode. Hope I'll be able to bring out an AAA title before Y30 where the score is calculated.

I found the gameplay extremly boring. To a point where it started to make the other little things bother me: the game takes itself very seriously... a bit like a Manowar song - fun enough when you don't pay attention to the lyrics. So since I didn't have fun for the actual playing, realizing that I found the story to be simply silly didn't help
