Games / Warhammer Online Review

« on: October 27, 2008, 10:45:07 PM »

Please note I'm playing Warhammer Online on max settings and I'm a level 23 Witch Elf.

This is a personal review, i will rant and swear.

As well i won't go into classes as you know what the dam classes are and the only unique class is Squid Herder which is basically a Hunter with a pet.

===================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character Creation: The character creation is pretty basic, it follows all other MMO's, It does look abit nicer as it shows what you're character will be wearing when it reaches the max level cap, or what you should be wearing at that level.

There isn't much character look customization at all, a few scars, hair styles and color is what you can expect. Nothing crappy or bad about this at all it's you're normal character creation thingy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order & Destruction: This is where the game really starts to slow down, naturally everyone is tired of the common "Humans" "Dwarves" and "Elves" so everyone has made Destruction characters because well, there's no "Chaos"in other games at all and the other Destruction races look far cooler and more intimidating than the others, besides it's WAR it's all about destroying stuff and Destruction is just so much more evil.

The main problem is the unbalance for capturing Keeps, you can capture Keeps anytime you want and siege them with siege equipment, you will need a large group etc. Order just doesn't have enough players to defend these keeps at all and right now i play as destruction and well we have every Keep possible except the capital city... so go figure. Another problem is the keeps just switch, it seems like one Order Guild will just go through all 20 keeps in a day then the next day a Destruction will just do the same thing back, really it's mostly you fighting NPC's in sieges.

In all Destruction outnumbers order like crazy, they are offering EXP and RP extra points for Order players at least.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Realm vs Realm: Realm vs Realm is Order vs Destruction on OPEN RVR servers you can attack the opposite Realm anywhere some have certain locations. Warhammer is built on RVR it is pure RVR. So the loving problem here is that there is practically no RVR going on! Everyone is to busy leveling to the max by just jumping into scenarios (Will get to scenarios after, oh boy). No one cares if a Keep is under attack it's all about themselves, I've seen people sit in there Cities or Camp areas while we where attacking they didn't even bother defending at all just kept waiting for scenarios ugh.

So the problem is quite solvable, well you just gotta wait about a year before everyone is max level and has all there crazy gear. Maybe then you'll see more RVR, so it's a waiting game till then which i probably wont stay for.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenarios: Ok this is the biggest loving bullstuff ever in a MMO, well that I've played. Scenarios are basically maps that you join and fight other players for Renown Points and EXP, yes you get exp and a lot. The games last about 5-10 minutes you get about 500 RP points and I'd say 5k+ EXP points each round, at least i do. So whats the problem?

Wellllll! The entire questing is ignored, no one does the public quest, no one goes anywhere they all sit in the cities waiting to join the next scenario. Now later when you hit about level 10 it's gonna take you about 10+ minutes of actual moving around killing stuff running back etc. So who wants to do that when you can just idle there alt tab and wait for the Scenario that;'ll give you RENOWN Points and a lot of EXP, you get more in scenarios than you do doing quest.

This my people is the main thing wrong with WAR, everyone sits in scenarios and scenarios are a mess everyone runs around etc, my boyfriend and i use teamspeak just so we have a chance together somewhat even they it's a clusterforget. This needs super fixing of god right now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PVP: War is all about killing other players what could possible be wrong? Nothing at all when you're fighting 1 vs 1.

War was men't for fighting other huge clans/groups. Anytime a group of about 30+ people meet against each other everyone stands facing each other shooting spells back and forth, if anyone moves outta the line you're getting picked off making Melee classes kinda useless for this. The second one group actually attacks the other group the other group runs and scatters, I'm loving serious watch a few Youtube videos you're see people mocking this. Groups just scatter and its over like that, people are so dumb that they run the second anyone moves in.

I don't know how to fix this but i guess this whole RVR thing is kinda new to most people so i guess they haven't learnt the tactics yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PVE: The PVE is actually really well done, they have these things called public quest that anyone can join in on at anytime and help out, you get a score at the end and win some fineee loot depending on what place you finished you get a better bag of stuff.

That's great and all but uh, you actually need other people to do these Public Quest, no one is around doing any of these quest, 90% of the time you'll be doing a lower-end Public Quest by yourself.

In all PVE is what you expect it's done fine and the addition of Public Quest is nice, to bad it isn't being used at all though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Community: Ya when one of you guys find a community outside of a Guild please uh contact me, honestly there is none. Theres not even a huge gathering area where everyone just hangs out really. Everyone is off somewhere else doing who knows what, or they are idle doing!! Just guess, seriously if you said Scenario's good job.
                                                                                                      (^ forget scenarios)

Bottom line there is no community yet, probably because of these stupid scenarios and everyone is just trying to level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visuals/Bugs: Ok the game looks fine, it isn't amazing but it's a MMO so they couldnt go insane with the visuals. The only way i can explain the visuals are... take WoW's graphics, but make the visuals look more mean and serious and realistic and darker colors and you have WAR it looks a lot better than WoW by many standards i find. (Google Warhammer Online and check photos if you're still curious duh)

Bugs are uh... plentiful... They aren't harmful at all, many of them are just basic annoying stuff. There's a lot of getting stuck on logs mainly logs that are down and or getting stuck on random stuff. The worse thing that i've had happen was my spells not working. The worse some people have are crashes but they patches that crap like 5 times now so i think it's fixed.

Many people say War is super buggy when it really isn't true, most of the bugs are getting stuck bugs which you can just /stuck yourself out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion!:

War is really fun, you'll find it refreshing, you're going to question the dev team sometimes especially with these scenarios where you don't even have to leave the starting area and you could possibly get max level. (You can recover some good loot in scenarios as well).

Nothing is really weighing WAR down, this is in fact the best time to join just because everyone is near level 20-40ish and is still leveling, this way you can join a open RVR Server and not get killed 24/7. Where as in the future you'll be missing out on all the cool stuff while you level ----> alone <---- (Cough Age of Conan cough).

In the end I'd say if you want to play WAR for what it's truly supposed to be wait about 8 months to a year. WAR will be at it's full potential then.
On the other hand if you start now you will have people to do PVE with and you wont be missing out on all the awesome Capital City Sieges.

For 50$ and a free 30days it's a fair deal i'd say and a good break.

=============================================================

If you read all this give yourself a pat on the back. If you can't read how did you even get here, and if you don't like the f word and it hurt you, go cry (Chaseyqurt).

Games / Far Cry 2 Review

« on: October 24, 2008, 12:30:51 AM »

Please note i played this for the PC on full settings. (Better than the XBOX and PS3 versions)
Alrighty. where to begin.

Fist off this is my opinion and you're probably going to go and and buy it anyways but oh well.

Anyways, when you first jump into the game you're quite excited you can't wait to play shoot etc. What you're first stuck with is sitting in a car for 15 minutes then lying on a bed with malaria listening to some jerk talk to you. But really that's not a killer to the game.

Storyline: Oh my god..... don't even get me started, first off you have loving malaria, you just have it you have no idea how you got it but you have it and it's killing you. Not only that but you're sent in by some government as a mercenary to kill "The Jackal" who is a arms dealer dealing guns to both sides of the war/fight/stupid fight.I don't even remember why they are fighting anyways. So you have malaria and you want to kill this guy, that's it theres nothing else you need to get pills for you're malaria or you die and supposedly find this stupid jackal guy.

That's all there is there, nothing else except go kill this group etc etc. LAME

Gameplay: Ya shooting the guys is kinda fun i like all the weapons and stuff but here is the main problem, the AI is so stupid it just ruins the fun. After seeing all those videos about silently killing enemies and sniping them from far looked amazing, wrong again, taking out guys silently in the day or at night is just plain crap it's a huge mess up they always shoot at you even if there 50 feet away and you kill some dude with you're knife. Healing works pretty well i can't complain about that at all. Driving is where everything just crashes, the whole steering and driving is fine it's just how loving much they much you do of it! 50 hours of campaign they said, ya right try 40 hours of loving driving to you're location then getting shot at and pursued by some insanely fast truck (Seriously they have nitro or something). Not only that it takes like 5 shots and you're engine is smoking, the second it starts smoking you slow down! So picture this, a crazy truck on drugs chasing after you with a machine gun, oh ya you can't shoot and drive you have no allies everyone is a loving enemy in this game. You don't even come up to a town and go "Hmm who's a villager, my ally and who's the enemy. NO there is none they are all loving enemies there are no innocent people they just disapeared (Ok they said they all left town at the beggining)(Lame).
 
If you didn't read all that, Good guns, nice shooting, dead dumb AI, expect the AI to watch his buddy lose his head and just stand there asking for one himself. Driving sucks ass, going to spend 40 hours driving to destinations and reparing you're car. No allies at all, no people, everyone is a enemy just go in guns blazing. Although you do get buddy's but you never see those dudes either unless you die.

Multiplayer: oh my godddd where to start... it's soooo boring, you constantly re-spawn after 20 seconds of dying, there's no "new rounds". What's so bad about that, oh well let's see... when you die you get to look around the map to see where that starfish sniped you from so when you respawn you can go up behind him and knife him :), how stupid. Expect no one to even talk the entire game, no one uses a microphone, chats or does anything team oriented, no one cares if you die or get wounded, they wont even help you up if you get wounded.
In other words, there's no interaction everyone is for themselves and the game modes are really boring.


Map Editor: Ok this thing is pretty cool, i played with it for abit and got to sadly play a few user maps.. It's already being abused, 2nd day out i believe and players are already making the maps unfair or putting special spots or locations in that only they know to kill everyone off. It has great potential but just expect maps are just a total waste of time and stupid stuff. It's also quite complex and will take a good while to make a decent map.

Clear up a few things they really tried selling to us and made to look amazing.

FIRE: Ya this crap was so much bullstuff, fire will not spread across land forever it stops after about 30 seconds no matter the weather condition or the grass type or forest time, only the smaller trees burn correctly the big ones decide when they want to catch fire and if they feel like it. You can not start a forest fire and expect it to engulf a camp like they said, that is a load of total crap!

AI Smarts and Destruction: The AI is dumb, you cannot wound one from 200 with a sniper and expect the other AI's to help the wounded man out, they lied about that i've tried this 100 times they just ignore him or start shooting at me somehow... Destruction was mega over-exaggerated, they said you could destroy huts wooden hurts wooden pillars bridges etc, ya not at all.... that was all crap.

50 hours story mode Oh god this tops the crap.... there is not 50 hours of gameplay, theres 40 hours of you driving around getting shot at, it's crazy you spend 30 minutes driving around with you're map open, then you get there kill the 5-8 guys that are there taking you less than 10 minutes, head back and repeat.

Conclusion, borrow this game from a friend, it's still worth playing it's just not worth buying because the multiplayer is really lame it's not what any of you are expecting at all.

Stay tuned for my Warhammer Online Review dudu! :P

Games / Mercenaries 2

« on: September 01, 2008, 12:24:10 AM »

So it came out today, i got it early in the morning, i think i'm about half way through already.

Anyways the PROS and CONS.

For any of you that have played the first Mercenaries you're pretty much in for the same treat just with better graphics and... you can swim and drive boats now. Yay.
There's also a grapple hook which is useful and button combination now for hi-jacking vehicles. There's a few recruits - Mechanic - Helicopter Pilot - Jet Pilot.
You find all three early on each do something special such as droping bombs for the Jet Pilot. (I suggest you get all three first before doing the main quest - or anything for that matter).

So in a mix up, the gameplay is exactly the same with better graphics.

CONS!

Ok the game has more CONS than PROS because well.... they didnt do a whole lot different from the first one which is really what disapointed everyone.

They changed the PDA system, you can no longer buy "Products" directly from you're PDA. You actualy have to go to a shop and buy them ahead of time then open you're PDA system and use them. Ya it's a total ass and a pain because you constantly have to go to outpost and buy stuff.

Fuel, Fuel is a pain in the ass, anything you order or use like missiles and ordering vehicles cost Fuel, this goes down rapidly and you have to steal fuel from some heavily guarded ass base. For example - Let's say you want a tank delivered it cost 300 Fuel. (Using vehicles does not make you're fuel go down at all)

AI, the AI is brain dead, 10x worse than the first one. They constantly talk while they're in a car with you repeating quote "Hey" "Hey" "Hey Merc" "Welcome Back Merc" "Hey" "Hey". Deadly annoying and beyond useless, they stand beside the vehicle when you get out and get blown up after anyways.

Helicopters, helicopters vary alot more in this game now. Theres Attack Helicopters - Anti Tank Helicopters - Transport Helicopters (useless) - Heavy Attack Helicopters. In the end the only one you're going to ever use is the Venezuela one the Anaconda because it's like a 3 in one destruction bomb. (This isn't exactly bad, it's just annoying because theres about 10 Transport types and only 4 Offensive helicopters)

Objectives, Objectives aren't that bad in this... gets abit boring after awhile, it mainly consist of capture this outpost for so and so and piss this guy off. Or go get this vehicle and come back while dodging 100 helicopters.

Glitches, aw ya this game has loads.... to sum it up the most common are you ordering something and it doesnt always come, you lose you're vehicle and fuel and you're cash is wasted of course. Cover system sucks.. bullets fly through sandbags and rocks even. Random floating objects and certain enemies running into stuff etc.

The worst of all, THE GAME IS TO EASY. It's beyond easy, and you can't set the difficulty. If you play as Mathias you get faster HP regeneration which makes it even easier. But if you get to 7 HP you become invincible for about 5-7 seconds which gives you time to run away or kill off whatever you're fighting (What the hell where they thinking).


In all it's definetly fun, i really like it. If you haven't played the first one then you wont be disappointed but if you have prepare to feel like Mercs 1 all over again.

Comments, flames, questions bellow Pleaseee.

Drama / Constant handicap posters.

« on: July 24, 2008, 07:51:45 PM »

Am i the only who noticed that every time we lose someone like Xgen a new one appears and starts making loads of topics. But the topics are beyond stupidity and constant posting such as Noob gtfo spammer etc. They're all the same really if you look back at Lew, Mac Man XGen and all the others.

They all do the exact same thing and seem totally in they're own world.


At first i figured it was just a co-incidence, but everytime one gets banned it seems we get someone exactly the same back. So really is it someone by-passing the IP bans and constantly acting like a handicap or what the hell is going on?

Because honestly, you look at these post and topics of all these people and they're beyond handicapped and almost the same. Even when everyone is telling them they're an idiot and a "Noob" they still come back with insults like "YOU"RE THE NOOB GTFO NO ONE LIKES YOU" to quote Xgen really there.

but ya this is getting really annoying, anyone agree with me? Comments?

My next guess is ArticFox8756786 will be the next one, he just bumped a year old clan topic. *Sigh*

Clan Discussion / New Clan - KoD.

« on: June 25, 2008, 03:15:29 PM »

(Image made by Cooltext on google.)

Konstructions on Demand.

Tag: [Name] KoD.

What the hell is KoD?

KoD is friendly group or more as team who works together to create builds that the community wants. Builds such as DM's and Minigames that can provide pleasure for everyones use. Yes we will allow everyone to save our builds and host them, which is why we won't be using a whole lot of Add-Ons.

Why create ANOTHER Clan!?

It's always been my goal to create builds and mini-games for fun. Recently i realized how much more we could get done if we where a huge team working towards the same cause. Yes i do say Team instead of Clan, for the reason that everyone has a say and the ranking our leadership position is frankly alot different!

What can i expect from KoD.?

Currently working towards fun and eventive mini-games, Such as a dynamic race or even a maze with a million twists involved. Yes all builds will be available to the public. Currently working towards a dedicated server, perhaps a whoever joins could work that out, aswell the builds will be hosted by me. My main focus is some sort of a huge Carnival Dedicated server, where you don't need a admin to run everything and everything is easily playable providing maximum fun.



How do i join!?

KoD. is invite and applying only. Invite means a friend inside of the clan can refer you to me or the Co-Director.

Applications! Yes you can submit a application of anything. Luckily this Clan well team isn't going to be made of Pure Elitism Builders, simply for the fact that i'm not the best builder out there at all. KoD. Will not support any uniform or color based uniforms in any sort, it is a very free and friendly group, or clan or team.

Where to submit you're application!? In the GALLERY section, create a new topic starting with KoD. App.

Ranks/Members.

Ranking:

Director
Co-Director
-------------------
Member
Pending Member

Members:

Jess 1387 - Director
Cheeseburger 4674 - Member


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules:

*Elitism is a huge No.
*No build stealing.
*Maturity is a must.
*Macros are a no.
*Proper grammar is needed.
*Racism or prejudicing in anyway is a no.

Other Info
Jess you're the only member, why? Because i tend to enjoy working alone and in quiet, so that should answer the member thing. Why would you join KoD? Well they're isn't a huge reason, but don't expect to be at par with any of the huge USSR clans.

Means of Communications? MSN will be a huge factor or any EMAIL, we will be sharing thoughts etc, and expect a email once a week or even twice a week. Communication is the KEY.

When's the server up!!!? Whenever i host, as of now we have no dedicated server sorry.

All other questions etc go here, applications in gallery.

General Discussion / Ridiculous Loads

« on: June 01, 2008, 09:11:03 AM »

So has anyone else noticed the ridiculous load times recently, i mean of course theres a bunch of add-ons but you'll be amazed what some people have checked off for their servers.

I find i'm spending about 2 to 6 minutes loading for just one server these days.

Anyways just thought it would be something interesting to discuss.

I think people need to start only enabling add-ons they are using at the time.

Help / i don't remember my auth key

« on: May 23, 2008, 04:58:21 PM »

I have a problem, i recently decided to re-format my computer.

Now that means everything gets deleted including blockland. So anyways i forgot about that part.


Now the problem is, i don't remember my auth key, and i cant get it because when i bought this game a close friend of mine purchased it for me. (Church).  So the email to retrieve was sent to him, now i havent seen or spoken to Church in ages nor can i contact him in any which way.

So uh... what exactly do i do.....? My ID was 1387 if that helps.

Sorry if this is the wrong area to post in but it did say anything related to blockland here.

« on: May 18, 2008, 01:50:21 PM »

Have you guys noticed the recent increase in WIN ADMIN if you kill me!


Or the First one here gets Admin?


Honestly i find it ridiculous that Admin is being used as a prize now and a bribe, not to mention everyone wants to be Admin.

They don't seem to realise what Admin is really for and they act like it's a huge deal when you are one.

Feel free to add you're thoughts.

General Discussion / Escape Type Server - Help Needed

« on: May 11, 2008, 03:14:43 PM »

Well, I've finished my Zombie Holdout and now i'm up for a new neat game type.

Here's the problem. I have no idea how to do most of that, what i need help with is a few suggestions and advice.

With...

How do i make bricks break if they stuff on something, how do i make doors open with a push of a buttom.

How do i make people auto-join the Minigame when it's hosted.

Most importantly.. is there anything you guys can think of that will force them to work quickly to get to the end?

So ya, feel free to post you're advice and suggestion and helpness.

Thanks a bundle!

General Discussion / Need help for my server! < - Read

« on: April 30, 2008, 05:54:17 PM »

Zombeh Town is the current name but it is expected to be changed after it goes through a few testings!

Well i've spent the last 2 days making a huge zombie town, i've now decided to scrap the idea and turn it into a huge. "Defend the Fortress"

What i need help with is Add-on Suggestions and links.

I'm using the Zombie Mod 001 and i don't have any weapons yet and i'm curious as to what you guys can send me to help me with this.

The map will be a survival for 15 minutes where you have to defend the fortress. What i really really want to know is if theres a DOOR system that you press a button and the door closes slow or quickly, Kinda like in Counter-Strike that Spacestation map with those doors.

Also any weapon add-ons, or decals or ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.

I also really need to know how to make the timer for zombies increase from 5 to about 20minutes and how the mod that forces people into the minigame when they join.

PLEASE PLEASE, POST WHAT IT IS ADD-ON/MOD AND THE LINK.


(If this is somehow in the wrong topic area i'm very sorry).
