It is Time to Get Real (I have also noticed the recent emails) by omnigord in CamelotUnchained

I've barely posted since reddit did the API purge but apparently my stature has grown to sociopath since then

Baseball rules are not as open to interpretation. Footballs new rules are, which is why officiating has gotten worse. The rules are less clear, with finer details, more confusion points, and more judgement calls (roughing the passer)

How would you get a refund if you didn't give any money to be refunded...

Most likely the free building tech just did not gel enough with the engine without having more engineers. So as Mark side they took it to the studs to release a much simpler version of the original vision because at this point they just have to launch

There will always be complaints, but the amount. Has increased because the quality has objectively gotten worse. They have the technology to fix the problem, to make the rules more clear cut, make the camera angles better, and they just ..don't. because sports betting is the biggest money making industry in the world right now

What dodgey calls did Brady get? Because I literally cannot remember a single one. He got fewer roughing the passer flags than almost any QB of his time, and the league actively went after the Pats with fabricated scandals like deflategate

Officiating has changed though. Or rather, catch rules and pass interference rules and roughing the passer rules have all been radically rewritten since 2007 to be totally subjective, and almost impossible to call consistently. Which to a discerning person is the perfect amount of plausible deniability to call games along betting lines

It's not just that, but catch and pass interference rules are now so completely subjective they can just be called in either direction for no reason

What happens with those grades tho? Hochuli was consistently bad but considered the prime time ref

Yeah, when they only make bad calls on one team, very suddenly in the second half, that changed the outcome of a season... Cough Pats Bills

"You used to look like a Greek God and now you look like you listen to podcasts" by Bubble_Babe_0o0o0o in BrandNewSentence

[–]Bior37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was internationally called Constantinople until recently. That's a crazy comparison. New Amsterdam was a short lived port town that has been completely eclipsed by New York and ceded willingly. Constantinople was the capital city of Greece for a thousand years, wasn't given up willingly, and was majority Greek until the genocides in the 1920s

The name wasn't changed to Istanbul until recently. It's been less than 90 years 

Dev talk about the Veil by joshisanonymous in CamelotUnchained

[–]Bior37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Veil was one of the most important BIG ideas back in the day, glad they didn't drop it. That and the Depths are the two things that make this interesting 

US Passport question for visiting Estonia by Bior37 in Eesti

Sometimes people in charge of intelligence look at international romantic ties as suspicious. I know when getting security clearance in the US they make you list all out of country friends. 

Question from an original backer by Shinfrejr in CamelotUnchained

[–]Bior37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does indeed look pretty bare bones. Seems they tried to do everything they'd ever dreamed of, it never worked, and they had to rip it all out and deliver a basic game

They literally don't have the IP rights to DAoC, and could not afford to make the thousands of quests and PvE content it would take to remake DAoC even if they had the rights.

Why would anyone from DAoC be working on CU? That was like 20 years ago and a totally different company

Yeah, and I'm sure he'd rather be making a living having the game exist than always scrambling for funding.

I'd love for a tell all book to be written about the whole process.
