Ah, good old hubris. The mother of all sin. B) And it's a tough one. It has been my observation that all successful PvP teams suffered from hubris one way or another; be it a mild case or moderate or even severe, whatever. But it was always observable. No exceptions. This regularity suggests universality. Comes with the…

Husanak's an old PvP vet. He has seen it all, played against and with all. He has knowledge and insight. Read his stuff, and you'll learn something. AFAIK he moved on. Like almost every other PvP veteran. His escort guide is a must-read, but any reader must keep in mind that the game has gone through many iterations of…

This is not the first time these people exhibit such behavior, so this incident was indeed somewhat predictable. Remember Trinity, last time we talked, I did express my concerns to this effect. Anti-social and/or unstable people should not be granted positions of power within social constructs, who would've thought? :p…

Wait, are you saying you can read other peoples mails?!

I am scared. This website reminds me of nineties Internet.

From a military-historical perspective, the outcome of the Battle of Isandlwana is an anomaly. It would be delusional to treat it as some sort of referential norm of how an alien invasion may play out. The brits were "poorly led and badly deployed", in addition they ran out of ammuntion, forcing them into hand-to-hand…

Exactly. In most wars even superior forces usually have some small casualties. The root cause for most such casualties often was some form of stupidity however. But at least in human history, defeat was always unavoidable.

Without setting some reasonable boundaries, any discussion of such a topic would deteriorate into unhindered fantasy. Any argument or position - even the most absurd ones - would carry the same amount of validity. Which would be a good way to determine which contributor is smoking the strongest weed. But not much else. ;)…

If an alien invasion got thwarted by Earth microbes, then the aliens were probably not so bright to begin with. I guess it's not impossible for an advanced alien civiilzation to be super stupid. However, that Tom Cruise movie was just a movie. ;) But if we assume aliens capable of building space ships etc are actually not…

In our solar system, Earth may be unique in terms of having water in liquid form on the surface, but liquid water itself isn't really a rarity. See here. And thats just in our tiny solar system. Evidence strongly suggests there should be countless water planets all over the place in the universe.

lol, if aliens ever decide to mess with us for whatever reason, we are dead. So dead it wouldn't even be funny. :p Shows like Star Trek, Stargate, Independence Day imply we may outwit superior invaders. But these shows just sell infantile fantasies for entertainment purposes. Let's assume an alien civilization that has…

Hm, about PvE mode... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XczNemDv7Cc&t=23m15s

Ya, so far we only have newsletters, commentary and internal gameplay footage from the devs. They have yet to release a playable beta. When it's out, then we will know more. IMO where things can go wrong would be the business model: F2P, no P2W available. Will revenue generated by vanity items and skins and the like be…

It has buffing and shield facings. Don't know about debuffing. AFAIK it seems to require lowering/raising shields for proper attacking/tanking. Similar to Street Fighter. Closed Beta should be available soon.

Dreadnought has so many conceptual simillarities which makes me assume Star Trek Online may have served as one of their inspirational templates. I was wondering what if STO PvP got forked into a seperate game. :p - class based PvP: Damage dealers, supporters, healers, cloaked vapers - weapon and ability loadouts,…

Damian!!!!! :p What we can do is trying to keep in touch with each other. There will be other games where we can have fun and kill bad guys. ;) ..

I'm fairly certain that the majority of deserters had multicausal reasons for leaving. Having said that, it'd be very likely for such a change to bring back some of the old vets. At least I'd be back tomorrow if they anounced such a change today. At the end it's about money though. Would Cryptic profit from such a…

We've never plowed fields or milked chattel. We've lived as PvPers, warriors. The grind maimed us. We have no enemies to fight, no glory to be won. ISA? That is not an engagement worthy of Sto'Vo'Kor. Some familiar names in this thread. Ave, morituri te salutant. Pandas trying a comeback. That's good. A gleam of hope at…

OPvP is bouncing between 90 - 350 online members these days...

civilization bts 4 week campaigns, nuff said!!! :p

Not as OP as the subnuke doff back in the day. But still silly.

Someone call Pax and Naz and we got an old school party here wooooooot xD bump ;)

The only thing that stood between PWEs evul plans of world dominance was Virusdancors post count. What can stop them now? Well played PWE... well played...

Don't worry :p

I don't think this game supports hardware-accelerated PhysX. It's probably just CPU Software-PhysX. EDIT: http://physxinfo.com/wiki/Category:PhysX_SDK

good god biebs, get a proper gaming rig already! :P

Well, a couple of seasons ago, we already sort-of had 'cross-faction' Kerrat. A small glitch allowed players to join the other side. That was one of the very rare bugs that actually improved the game lol. My friends and I usually joined the outnumbered side on principle, to compensate any unfun imbalances. Eight players…

Wait, first, they remove double tab, now they bring it back and monetize it. lol? Or do I misinterpret?

In the past, it was a rarity to meet dedicated PvErs displaying meaningful 'scientific' approach, analytical procedure, or results-oriented spreadsheeting mentality in general. Back then PvE content just didn't demand such virtues. PvP on the other hand was a completely different animal from the getgo. PvP was the main…

Such a game mode is already available. It's called PvP. :P
