Purkake Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The link is in his signature. Wow that's sneaky, real sneaky.
Hurlshort Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The link is in his signature. Wow that's sneaky, real sneaky. It is, I missed it at first as well. I think Harlequin means trickster.

213374U Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The news item is "Some site down time". Good to know! - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I once looked it up in a dictionary, iirc it said dance performing clown. But I guess that's just one of many definitions. Apologizes, didn't mean to cause so much confusion, didn't think my sig was 'sneaky' With that said we also are going to have a reporter from the site attend GDC Europe. CCP stated at this event in aug they would have a 'next gen game announcement' many folks think this is going to be the official kick off of the WoD MMORPG. As for Harlequin, those are more modern definitions but correct. However the original meaning of the word (and why I choose it) is defined as 'one who is in utter despair and joy at the same time.' Hence the harlequin masks you still see in some theaters, the masks of one laughing and other crying.

Aristes Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Hey, Hurley did an article for that site. Right on, dude! No chance in hell I will be able to switch to WoD online, but I'm still curious. I might even try it for a month or two just to sight-see.
Llyranor Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Where the freak is the link? I'm clicking on the words, but nothing happens. What front page news? Where? What the crap is this? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Nope, just interested in the game, and Harlequin was looking for a newshound so I volunteered. So far it's been pretty quiet, but I think the site will pick up a lot with the official announcement.
Morgoth Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 The setting is very intriguing, but it's ultimately the execution and core mechanic that will make or break the game for me. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 The setting is very intriguing, but it's ultimately the execution and core mechanic that will make or break the game for me. I want to be able to first stake the vampires, then cut their heads off and fill their mouths with holy wafers and holy water. It also sucks that WoD vamps can enter homes uninvited and cross running water
Morgoth Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Well if Vamps are playable I suppose it would suck mightily if you couldn't cross a puddle water. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Well if Vamps are playable I suppose it would suck mightily if you couldn't cross a puddle water. It's only moving water, so they could have used it to block off certain areas from vamps (like the beginning area for humans).
Morgoth Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Hmmm. Anyways, that will be an interesting competitor to TOR and Secret World. Will keep an eye on it! Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I predict three big bombs with Blizzard's next MMO walking away with the money.
213374U Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Since the reboot, WoD sucks the big fat one. So I'm not expecting much. And think of the hordes of Twilight and Underworld fans... *shudder* - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Hurlshort Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I predict three big bombs with Blizzard's next MMO walking away with the money. CCP is hopefully setting their expectations realistically. They are the developers of Eve Online, so they know how to take a smaller subscription base and make a successful product. I really doubt they are looking at challenging Blizzard for sales. I imagine they will compete with the Secret World MMO more than either Blizzard or Bioware. Why do I keep reading statements that make the MMO genre seem like a winner take all deathmatch?
