    Yeah, I am guessing that there isn't going really be a "full game" feel until at least beta.

    Yep, sad. Although I wasn't expecting the servers to last that long on fist alpha release anyway when 2.5k users try to join at once.

    Empire has grown quite a bit and there were a lot of smaller organizations this time. (click the big link for interactive map) Shockeray's Dual Universe Community Map 1.1.6 9-16-17 image for those with slow internet: (check out my guild: Soul Nebula)

    I am amaze!

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean that your opinions weren't valid, just that your approach was not constructive. It would be helpful for you to point out where you think his logic is flawed rather than just claiming he isn't knowledgeable on the topic with a blanket statement. We can't all be experts in everything.

    Yes, I don't think that it could ever be handled in the same way it is in Minecraft or Terraria. If have ever been around when massive lake drainages occur, you know the kind of processing it takes. So unless they have some kind of clever way to calculate and fill below-water-level spaces, I doubt that it will be dynamic water.

    Mhm; I give it 30 min.

    I think he meant, "How is NQ going to handle this, as there's only so much an "average internet pipe" from the server to my machine can handle?" There is no need to be a jerk about grammar mistakes, especially since English is at least a second language for a lot of people in DU. If you are complaining about him using non-technical terms, I don't see how that diminishes his reputation. I would say that it increases it since he isn't only talking in super technical terms that many people wouldn't be able to follow.

    I would have thought that they would not have messed with water since it can lead to some odd things in games where you can mine. For example, if I am digging up from some place 2km down and come up under a lake, what happens? If the water is static, then you could completely dig out around a pond and have a punch of floating water, which would be odd imo.

    Would be nice. I wonder if there are reasons why they wouldn't want to do this other that the time.

    Nice work Lethys!

    Also with all of these lovely voxels, it probably wont be long before we get hidden underground hoik paths.

    I can see it now. Thousands of traders racing across the universe as a patch is rolled in sector by sector, trying to fire off those last few glitch deals on the old version.

    I think this is probably the best/only viable argument for subscription. Sure there are many other methods for companies to get money from a game, but this method works well for long term games like DU is aiming to be.

    I want a ship that "walks" across the ground by turning on and off slanted force fields. Probably really inefficiency, but could be novel.
  16. Shockeray
    I can't wait to see how many people show up for the first pre-alpha test and how long before the first ship is build (granting they don't have several sitting around).
  17. Shockeray
    I would be interested to see that as well.
  18. Shockeray
    Did they take into account that some people would do that willingly?
  19. Shockeray
    I am apt to agree with you blazemonger. Although I would like to play DU as soon as possible, this doesn't seem like the best way to solve this issue. Of course it may have been unavoidable since development on certain things took longer than expected.

    I think that it's ctrl + f5 on windows to refresh the cache.
  21. Shockeray
    Normally only 2 or 3, so if you are still having issues it's probably for a different reason.
  22. Shockeray
    I agree with you guys are saying. I didn't expect much more from alpha, the only thing that I am disappointing about is the lack of 24/7 availability which will make it harder to fit into a standard working schedule. I am glad they thy have decided to have a stand in for the alpha instead of just moving it back several move weeks or months. It would be for the best to make sure that certain gameplay elements are available before the Alpha 1 is started (hopefully some early form of groups at least). EDIT: But it still is a postponement, imo. Alpha 1 is being moved back regardless of what they are replacing it with. (I am not saying I'm disappointed with what we are getting through the pre-alpha, it just doesn't change the fact that the alpha is being moved back.)
  23. Shockeray
    That would be fun @GunDeva. I really am looking forward to seeing how far the LUA system can be pushed.
  24. Shockeray
    I just wanted to see what you guys thought about the post by NQ-Nomad in:

    Uploading organization images has always been a bit glitchy for me, but normally the changes go through after a couple attempts.
