  • Originally posted by mrmeloni If you want to play PVE only, GO PLAY ONE OF THE MANY PVE GAMES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. If you can cite a good one, I'd be happy to.  Cite one good PVE game this century.
  • I've done a bit of research into the sandbox game, and found it to be a holistic ideal, not an actual one.  The real sandbox games, such as second life and the sims, aren't really RPGs.  The story is 100% up to the player to create.  The game simply…
  • Originally posted by Xgeneration  if your friend likes PvE better than PvP than he must be in MMO heaven right now, hes got a ton of games to choose from. Those who like PvP have very few good games to choose from. There is a good PVE MMO that…
  • Playing this game for the first time in 3 years on a trial basis reaffirmed the death aspect.  I didn't want to die, and the game really tried to kill me.  I trained things around to stay alive.  It was a relief when sneaking allowed me to explore a…
  • Software in Beta tends not to be fully localized.  textures and animation (as opposed to models) tend to be late-stage production items as well. -FW
  • Thanks for illuminating these options. This was the reason I stopped playing after the first few minutes.  It was constant on the day I tried it - like about every few seconds.
  • I live with a digitial and traditional oil-painting artist, so get really dismayed when models and animations are not good.  This does not mean realistic - the biggest problem with most digital models is proportion.   Distortions, especially in more…

  • Thanks for posting the video. It really didn't go long enough to give me a feel for the game at all though, which is unfortunate.
  • There were only 2 intolerable things about Vanguard that made me stop playing it: 1) The perfomance was hell - not just bad, hell.  I could not play the game even though I had a top-end machine without several seconds of freezing and delay.  Accor…
  • Thanks for the information I gather that burly 64-bit architecture machines are up to the task; I have one of them here so I shall give it a shot.
  • Thats right, the three games I have tried: - Lineage 2 - Vanguard - Spellborn Lineage performance was better because of the limited number of models ... as the models become more specialized, the performance slows down.  But the rendered mod…
  • Well, the forum conveniently dindt post my last post.  Basically I have lineage 2, Vanguard, and Legend of Spellborn as examples.  They all suffer from the same ailments. The unreal engine renders the animations, so it is a potential candidat…
  • Originally posted by Sharkypal I smell a less than adequate PC here!   You most definately do.  Testing includes minimums. I have several machines of varying power however and the modeling and animation are still clunky IMHO and I wish to kn…
  • 1) I am familiar with the skinning/texturing procedure and have done it for my own animations.  I am remarking upon the similarities in animation from the 3 games I have observed using the same engines. 2) Unique Models create a performance hit.…
  • Thanks, I did use the configuration file from the outset because there was no settings button before the load screen.  These few extras will probably help a great deal as well.
