Congrats on the new job, Nerd! VT_NERD09 Mar : 14:57 Not sure. I think I forgot to mention it, but I got a real job and I start that on Monday so I'll be able to chip in for a BC2 server and VoIP server if we decide to get either one. VT_NERD08 Mar : 09:38 Not sure how I missed it, but TS3 is out now. Gorko and I were talking about renting a VoIP server, has anyone used TS3 yet? Akira04 Mar : 14:08 I will pick my copy up this weekend and get it installed. Hope we can set up a time to get together and game some. El-Gorko18 Feb : 13:19 I think I acquired a beta key... They've got them on fileplay.net if you register for free. Akira17 Feb : 17:00 I haven't even picked up BC2 yet. I will try and get it this weekend if I can find it. Or get it from steam. Wed or Thurs is good for me also. I am still around just been real busy. SONIC15 Feb : 10:35 Okay, I'll try to make myself available on Wed and Thu for BC2. We don't HAVE to get a server right away if we can find one or two we want to frequent. Perhaps some of the BF2142 guys we know will have one up. Then, when we all come into a little cash we can rent a box. VT_NERD08 Feb : 14:14 I'm basically in the same shoes as Gorko. I *might* have a "real" job using my degree soon, but not yet. Until then, finances are limited for me too. As for playtime, pretty much any day of the week is ok for me - just need a bit of planning so I'm not involved in some dungeon run or something in WAR. El-Gorko08 Feb : 13:01 I certainly won't be opposed to getting a server for BC2. My only concern is I'm super broke these days so I wouldn't be able to contribute much. SONIC07 Feb : 20:10 To clarify - a gaming server for FPS to recruit some more folks to fill out the squad. SONIC07 Feb : 20:09 I'll look up some content to update the front page news with about BC2. I'd like to get a server for this, also. You interested? SONIC07 Feb : 20:08 I agree about setting a time and running a squad. I got bored when I was playing because everyone just running around. It also increased my anxiety so much I had to take an extra pill! What is the best night/time to game? I'm open. I've been working on my BF2 mod 24/7 lately so I can put it behind me (I'm making it for my 2 sons - I thought it might be kind of cool and retro for them when they are ready in a couple of years). VT_NERD03 Feb : 13:44 We need to coordinate on a time to play this. We can use my WAR alliance's Ventrilo server. I'm semi-terrible at fps games now, but it would be fun with a squad I think. SONIC29 Jan : 22:20 Well, I hope to play tomorrow. I have some errands to run in the morning and then I plan on gaming the rest of the day. I'm impressed so far. If this is an example of what we might get out of BF3 - I'm stoked. I do like to use vehicles and the balance is really in favor of the infantry combat in BC2. Akira28 Jan : 18:22 I will get it in the store also. I have been playing Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 lately. Waiting on the new BF game. El-Gorko28 Jan : 16:51 I'm just going to pick it up in-store, I have a $50 BestBuy giftcard that I want to use up. VT_NERD28 Jan : 15:13 I will definitely be pre-ordering as soon as I get paid. I'm counting the days, but my bank is pretty good about making funds available early. SONIC28 Jan : 13:48 Okay, BFBC2 is a must-have game. It feels like a PC game and not a port and is something like a hybrid of BF and CoD4. Stupid DICE and their love of chokepoints got me pwned my first time out. Really, you guys have got to get this. We could really be rockin and rollin again! Steam rules! View all posts (1672) |
Folks,
Well, it’s Friday and time for another Sneak Peak at the next major patch. In this case it will be an early look at the Patch 1.2 patch cycle. While we could easily call this patch Combat & Careers Part Deux, I think a better name is the Bugs, Careers, Bugs, Items and Bugs Patch. Over this patch cycle we will have addressed and resolved about 500 bugs and issues (some internal, most external) and some of the changes have already been pushed to LIVE. Now, while a lot of these are teeny tiny little bugs, such as grammatical errors in tool tips, the majority of them are substantial. This patch is intended to be made available to our Core Testers next week on our Public Test Server (PTS). We also intend to break with tradition a little bit and make the entire patch notes available to the community before the patch goes to the PTS. So, without further ado, here are some highlights from the 1.2 patch cycle. 1) Bugs: I’m certainly not going to list 500 bugs/issues here, but the list is rather lengthy and right now bug fixes alone are coming in at about 16 pages of notes. 2) New Careers: Two new careers have been added, the Slayer and the Choppa. For those that got a look at the Choppa during Beta, you’ll see some changes and improvements but the Slayer is all new and ready to take the field for the first time. 3) Combat and Careers Adjustments: Lots and lots of bug fixes, adjustments and tweaks to all careers. This Balance patch focuses on addressing a number of global issues identified by the players that have been affecting the overall feel and balance of the game. This includes items such as Resistance stacking, Disorient effects, and Damage Absorb shields. In addition to these more global changes, we continue to work on each individual career addressing many of the more significant balance concerns and bugs brought up by the community. This includes a focus on the following careers; Witch Elf, Witch Hunter, Chosen, Knight, Black Orc, and Swordmaster. 4) Realm vs Realm: RvR is introducing several great changes including the new Open RvR Rallying Cry, Zone Domination System, and Siege Weapon Improvements and more! 5) Items: Itemization improvements and fixes for Gunbad, Bastion Stair, Lost Vale, Fortress Raid Rewards, City Invasion Rewards, and more! 6) Crafting System Improvements: Overall improvements to the system with Apothecary being the focus of this patch. New ingredients, improved interfaces and more. 7) Public Quests: Easy PQs for Tiers two, three, and four! This completes our first pass at the Easy PQ system and we will continue to review and tweak the system as necessary. As we have already done for Tier One, we have gone through the PQs in each Tier and made sure that at least one per chapter can be completed by 1-3 people. 8) New Live Event: The Bitter Rivals event will be launching with this version as the official kick off for the anticipated introduction of the Slayer and Choppa! 9) New Scenario: The Twisting Tower Scenario will be making a special preview appearance! 10) User Interface: Lots of UI improvements for both old and new systems! These improvements cover everything from crafting to RvR. 11) Mail: Send multiple items attached to each mail! Easily one of our most requested features by the players. 12) Client Stability: Continued improvements to the client in the areas of stability performance and visual quality. Improvements to an MMO’s client, just like the server, are ongoing and these will continue now and in the future to be one of our priorities. As always, there’s a lot more to this patch than I can hope to cover here and things are subject to change during testing, but 1.2 is a huge patch for us and it will be followed by another large patch, 1.3. I’m also working on a State of the Game that will lay out, in more detail, our plans for the rest of 1.2, 1.3 and beyond. And once again, this is only a Sneak Peak. =) Mark Source: [link]    | Welcome Guest
