  1. Anarchy online (mmorpg) had the engineer class with robot pets and mechanical engineering expertise. The main perk was being able to build your own huge white slayer droid you could use to take npc aggro. Seemed fun being followed everywhere by an enormous killing machine

  2. Don't forget, JC Baillie played EVE Online. Corpsicle collecting is EVE's national passtime.

     

    Plus, trophies are trophies. In EVE a lot of people auction famous players' corpses on the market.

    Now if in DU we could extract skill points or experience from frozen bodies (say 1 days worth per corpse). That simple mechanic alone would likely change gameplay style significantly.

  3. Wow so much hate for the game. I mean not over hyping is good, but out right bashing a game that you know nothing about just because some other game that shall not be named was bad is not. So sad :'(.

    Agree 100%. All those haters based on one game. If that is the worst thing that happened in their lives (so far) then they got to get out more.

  4. Yes that's right as the title says, this post is all about a FUN community competition to pick the exact date for when you expect (or hope) the alpha testing will go live and we'll be able to first play (even if only for testing)

     

    The "winner" will be the poster that picks the exact date, or where the exact date is not picked, the post that picks the absolute closest date before or after.

     

    The "date" will be measured as the first date that gold founder members are able to  log in to the Alpha testing servers.

     

    What do you get, well mad props of course for your un-canny and amazing forecast skillz. Of course, we'll also see those for which the glass is half empty or just decide to be widely pessimistic.

     

    I'm going to pick April 12 2017 for reasons and that we have holidays the following week :)

     

    So post your best guess alpha date.

     

    MAX

     

     

     

  5. The game won't be out for two years and isn't even out of pre-alpha yet, it is horribly unoptimised so providing such an answer at this stage is close to worthless.

     

    However, JC has stated that he thinks that modern high-end machines will probably be just above the recommended specs in 2018 for the game.

     


     

    Looks beautiful now. I also wonder how much better looking the regular voxel stuff looks too.

    Remember some of us will be pre-alpha testing in a few months. It'll only look that good / be playable ok if we're getting in the upgrades we may need. I'm sure I saw something suggesting 1060-1080gtx range. Makes pledges look a snip.

  6. I snipe you and you die. The hill is mine.I leave mines to catch the unwary.

     

    I hope they release something to play, ahem test, soon. Practising voxel ship or base designs would be awesome.

     

    Today I even logged into my 10 old eve online characters to look around. Hella confusing and it wasn't the same as before.
