Now you can go sell it for $20 and open 10 more crates.

After reading ZDs last post, I'm going to assume the he's either A) Illiterate or B ) not actually reading what I have to say on the matter.

 

I've been in this section of the forums twice, and I can already tell feeding that troll is a waste of time.

That's Zero Damage's secret. Talk about whatever until everyone else walks away and declare yourself winner.

They released some game play footage in May. I totally missed it. It's pretty brief.

It's also officially now Homeworld: Shipbreakers. Gearbox bought the license when THQ went bankrupt and they worked with the developer to get the name.

The link works for everyone.

They don't ever purposely bring in too few servers. They try to bring in exactly what they need, but it's impossible to tell. Being surprised and having way more players than was ever expected doesn't come close to supporting a claim that they purposely want login queues. Developers don't want queues.

I'm sure they love the press though. "Look how popular our game is!"

Don't they have numbers on preorders they've received or digital downloads they were getting?

I forgot what game recently did it, maybe you remember, but they did their release in waves. I think that's a pretty good idea.

There's never any way to predict exactly how many players will be playing a game. The goal in an MMO is to try to fill up as many servers as you can, but fill them as completely as possible, because a low population server struggles in many ways, from economy to community. Unfortunately, the only way to make sure servers are properly populated is to simply wait and see how many players you have, but it's not some secret, hidden scheme by a company. Also, this is a factual representation from someone who actually did this stuff for a living =)

Yeah, that's exactly what I said... you just confirmed it's done on purpose. They don't buy tons of servers expecting to meet demand on day one, they ramp them up over time... ON PURPOSE.

Most people act like when an MMORPG has connection issues at launch that the people in charge are complete idiots. Instead of considering how much it costs they just want more servers.

- Adjusted Weapon Case Key and Payback Pass prices for foreign currencies based on current international exchange rates.

This is now fixed. So get ready to pay more for keys!

I was every so slightly exaggerating with the Minesweeper comment.

Maybe a better comment is the Xbox 360 can hardly run its own dashboard and takes 2 minutes to load.

I forgot to say Happy Birthday in my nonclever last post. Oops...

Happy Birthday!

So, another heavily anticipated MMO has launch issues? I'm shocked.

Here's a secret, every MMORPG has launch issues and it's on purpose. When an MMORPG is launched the first day is going to see the most people attempting to connect at a single time in the history of that MMORPG. The amount of cost associated with having enough servers at launch to NOT have launch issues isn't worth it. Not even Blizzard does it. It is much more cost effective to have your servers hammered, not have enough, and bring them up over time than have tons of servers running from the start. In few days to a few weeks less people will be logging on concurrently and they will add some more servers to meet expectations. The longer it takes to get stable the longer SquareEnix is thinking about how many long term servers they need.

People should be more worried if they play an MMORPG at launch day and they don't have connection problems. It means the number of players is below what they anticipated, which is never a good thing.

I also beat GTA IV on the 360, but bought it again when it was cheap for the PC. It really does run like poop...really.

I want to play GTA V at 60fps+ instead of sub 30.

 

So on a console then?

The Xbox 360 couldn't run Minesweeper at 60+fps at 1080P!

Did you play GTA IV on a console? It ran like poop. ...of course at the time so did the PC version because it was an awful port....

Does walkingCat just stand still in spawn during CS games?

Don't all AWPers?

Doesn't matter anyways because the best beer is from Belgium

 

Like I'm going to take the word of a 19 year old and a guy named Dude from Belgium on the topic of beer.

 

Stouts/Porters > Belgian wheat beers

Belgian Root Beer. Mmmm, some mean floats.

Are you part of the Bored Board?

Whaa? My first "steam download all" result goes to some unscrupulous website. Second result is a guy asking for the feature to download Steam games all at once. Third result is a guy asking the point of adding non-steam games to Steam.

I think I did eventually find the result you were talking about. I didn't know this feature existed, no one told me!

Top 5 reason I don't go to the Steam website: 1.) I have Steam always open on my PC. 2.) I hate doing the Steam Guard thing on the website. 3.) They always say my "verify you're a human" thing is wrong. 4.) I don't know if I'm supposed to use my username or my e-mail since my Steam username is technically my e-mail. 5.) I don't know my password.

I WAS extremely bored at the time. I sent my video card to EVGA and had no video card besides the on board CPU GPU thing, which can hardly run 2D games. What's life without a video card? Can I even call that life?

Nope.

So how bored were you watching all your steam games downloading?

Starting them all to make sure they ran was much more boring than watching them download.

There's some guides on Steam. Arms Race matches do drop items. The limit on item drops is also 4 per week.

I dont run raid, mostly because i have that sucker. Theres an even faster one than that one but i dont see the point.

So i cant amswer your question about raid.

 

Villain when it was given to me i broke down crying because of the cost. I dont want to break down again.

 

IF i make it to ffo next year youll get to see it. Worth the money, if youre moving files a lot (i do lots of image capturing astronomy so i move files a lot) but for gaming get a standard ssd

I have a Revodrive 3, which is about the same speed. The only problem is when games are on that drive I spend most of my time waiting for other players to load.

MP7 Skulls is common, i have 1 too. I can trade/give it

You're a common!

I got an MP7 with skulls on it...

Too Human did have very awkward controls. It was a third person game without camera control. Movement was on one stick and all your combat moves were on the other stick. I don't see Diablo 3 controlling like that at all. There have been plenty of action RPGs on consoles. Whatever controls they come up with, I think they'll be fine.

OR YOU COULD JUST BUY IT FOR CONSOLES LIKE GOD INTENDED RAWWWWR!!!

 

Don't give me that "well I want to be able to mod it" argument, or the "it's soooooooo much purdier on PC". Stop it. Just stop it. If you want to screw around with insanely stupid outfits/circumstances/mods/etc, that's why Saint's Row was invented.
