The bulk of the supernatural content is above level 40. It is present in the game now. But you can't get to it currently because of the level 21 cap. And for those that don't know, the supernatural part of the game is entirely optional by design…

I work at Flying Lab. I had nothing to do with making the video. Looking through it, all the footage in the video is from the game, using the game logic. The avatar combat is from the game. The viewpoint of the combat is unusual, but you can sw…

We fixed some issues loading textures in the last couple of weeks. That's what it sounds like your issue is. And it does sound like it's related to your machine configuration. Don't know whether this area will improve much more by Jan 22 or not.…

Could you ask a more specific question? What do you mean by "performance"? Frame rate? Graphics quality? UI responsiveness? Crashing on your system or on the servers? I assume you don't mean gameplay. The game is changing very quickly in some…

This is not the future of PotBS. There is a particular area in the game that has supernatural content. It is easy to avoid, clear when you are getting there, and not integral to the gameplay at all. The buffs and items from that area are only use…

I work at FLS. I have a rig a lot like that at home, and I play Pirates on it. It will automatically turn the graphics settings down -- it won't be as pretty on your system because of the graphics card. If you do have low frame rates, keep turnin…

I'm a coder at FLS as well. Also, by way of full disclosure, I'm Even Older Than Rick. 52. I second everything he has said -- get a CS education. And in *any* job, especially a technical one, you will need to keep learning. One aside: I have …

Originally posted by quixadhal Sorry guys, I've heard the "SOE is only publishing the game" argument before. I heard it direct from Brad McQuaid and his staff with respect to Vanguard. Brad and his staff stuck to that line for months after thei…

Another thing about contesting ports is that it creates PvP areas. That's an incentive or disincentive depending on your desires. This isn't the sort of game where everybody has the same goals (most good MMO's aren't). The part of the game about…

I should be more obvious about being a dev. For anybody else, it *would* a breach of the NDA (as I understand things). Short reply: No, the economy is not reset when the world resets. Port ownership does have an impact on what you can access, th…
