    What has happened to you people? Is it the public school system that has sapped away the American ingenuity and creativity? No wonder why all the games I play contain little pre-pubescent anime characters. Arrrghhh....

    You played PRiston Tale too?

    I understand that it takes work to do this, and I understand it ain't easy. So friggin' what? So now all we do is the easy stuff that's sure to make a profit? 

    Allright then you do it. I am sure if you found a couple million in financeing any of the MMORPGs in devlopment would be happy to code great AI. That's right, you don't want to go to the effort! Nobody else does either! 

    Remember when computer games first came out? Maybe some of you don't but I was there. They were all completely different from each other. Defender, PacMan, DigDug, Joust... Everytime a new game came out it had a new concept. And yes there were chances taken. But now look where we're at. And you guys are on the side of companies feeding us the same old things?

    I am not on their side, I WANT to see great AI in a game....I am just realistic as to the possibilities. It's not going to happen unless Blizzard does it. Go to their forums and tell them what you want!

     

    Now I'm going to go get me a beer with some buddies. We're no longer a dry county as of yesterday. See maybe America still has some hope in getting back to our old ideals. Think people, think. It hurts, it's hard, but it's sooooo rewarding. I have faith in you guys. I really do.




    I AM thinking. I am just not an AI coder. I am currently running homology searches on MetC and TnaA trying to find similar genes and proteins that may also participate in Cysteine and/or Serine degradation in order to aid my professor in his quest to knock out the serine degredation pathways in e.coli in order to render them susceptable to serine toxicity. Rar. Lets see you do that:P

    They can't make them too smart though, or else the level 60 mobs will be comping outside of newb towns! ::::31::::::31::::::31::::::31::::::31::

    Stop.
    Grow up and argue. If you truly believe your statement, then defend it. Don't result to changing the subject. No one likes a quitter. Oh what, you actually think that somone that lacks the civility to argue without namecalling, debating with them is actually of any use?
    I have absolutely no problem with debating with somone. But I do have a problem with getting in a endless flamewar with somone that can't keep it civilized. You want to "debate" like that. Go right ahead. But don't expect everyone to feed a troll. I've been in plenty of heated arguments, and personally I'm rather tired of them."The greatest trick the devil played on humanity in the 20th century was convincing them that he didn't exist."

    I give up on you. Continue to live in Finwe Land.

    ok. Thanks.

    But I will have to say at least one thing, its not very surprising that you come to the aid of this guy. Considering he seems to be over-obsessed with the art as some people like to state it as, argumentum ad hominem, and you make jokes that you know some people take offensively.

    I'm sure somone will make some reply in regarding this, so have fun, but I'm no longer reading this thread. I'm surprised I made about six posts explaining the reason for why I will not debate with somone who uses "argumentum ad hominem" tactics. I'd think people would use a little deductive reasoning and see the obvious. I should of known not to reply when that did not happen.

    Adios.

    oh shit im so sorry you know all since you defend the country that means what you say
    isnt pointless idea, does it really matter if your monsters are picking some apples before you come to slay them? i can understand if your pets have good AI or Bosses but random monsters?

    If you gave them AI, all the monsters would crowd into one zone and instakill anyone that just loaded in.

    Mobs more alive...

     

    Well, it is nice, but it is not my top priority to enjoy the game honestly.

     

    Mobs more alive will prolly add them flaws and make them easier to prey on for many players as well as making it harder for some players.

     

    I would enjoy mobs more alive, but like I say, I am not even sure it would be on my top 20 improvements for the mobs, that dont mean it must not be done, it just mean there are many others issues that need to be taken into account before doing this strongly.

    Wrong guy to attack man. Kudo's to you. Really. I'm no where near that smart. I'm smart enough to be a Navy Corpsman. I'm good at it and proud of it. I just got back from a year in Iraq and I saved some lives, just like you're trying to do.

    But I am smart enough to see that America has a real problem lately when it comes to responsibility and the education system here has a LOT to do with that.

    Dude, keep up the good work. I had no ill intentions towards you. I am humbled by you.

    *A small army of mobs raid the town*

    Mob 1: Oh noes! we're starting to lose! TIME TO CALL OUR BACKUP ARMY

    *1000 mobs rush from behind quickly into the village*

    *everyone dies*

    K, I don't consider that a FUN experience if mobs do that everyday or once every 2 days, especially when I'm minding my own buisiness crafting/selling items in town, but I don't know about you guys image
