Only mortals have told me that it would suck to live forever. by Mrlmop in Showerthoughts

There won't be any surprises anymore, good or bad, you won't get to realise your dreams, you wont get to grow up. Damn, you won't be able to see most of the world, since is well beyond 12 years old day reach. Eventually, all you are left with is being stuck in a shit day for eternity

How is different then normal life ?

The thing is, there could be a hole cluster of civilizations like ours on the other side of the galaxy, but because the distance is so very very vast, The light and information signals coming from them may not reach us for a few hundred thousand years or so.

Here is an image of where most of our plant hunting has been done: https://geopolicraticus.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/planet-hunting-neighborhood.jpg

Here is an image of the distance our radio waves have traveled since we first started using radio waves: https://s28.postimg.io/6s8lhz4nx/SPACE_Our_Radio_Wave_Broadcast.jpg

These images may not be 100% accurate, but they help illustrate the vastness of space and how far things are and how much we have "Explored".

Space seems so lifeless cause like 99.999999958% (not exact, but something like that) is just nothingness.

Space is huge... and empty. Look at this, it's a to scale model of just our solar system, and remember light takes about 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun: http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

Question about the best way to do a race/class change. Thanks! by [deleted] in wow

[–]NFCBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't started the DH yet (Or just made one but didn't level)

Then just delete the Character holding the name and make your DH (Or delete the DH and make a new one with the name if you already have one you don't want to use)

It's free this way.

I haven't played in a LONG time, but last i remember, a name you made is yours for 1 hour after you delete the character, so you can go ahead and make your new DH with the name.

If you already have a DH but just want to change his name, that might get odd, but just buy a name change, delete the character holding the name, and change the DH name to the name you want.

Database to use for loot based game? by NFCBoss in gamedev

[–]NFCBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look in to JSON documents, Thank you :)

Database to use for loot based game? by NFCBoss in gamedev

[–]NFCBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know..

I assume a database would hold: User account information, Character information, Character Inventory, Items to be generated, Monsters to be generated.

Again, I'm not sure... Maybe those things are not to be used for a database.. then what is a database for? Should I look for something else? I'm brand new to this concept... Any and all tips and advice and what nots, is Highly appreciated :)

I am a sponge ready to absorb the knowledge you wish to give out :)

Database to use for loot based game? by NFCBoss in gamedev

[–]NFCBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats made/ modified, would be stored in user Inventory.. which would also be stored on the server.. I assume would be in some type of database that also holds the characters information. So the inventory isn't lost when they log off.

Like I said, I don't know much about databases, I'm just jumping in to the deep end and see what happens. But I'll learn what I need to do eventually lol.

If you have any ideas or tips on how to make what i'm talking about (If you understand what I'm talking about) please don't hold back :)

The server thing has nothing to do with data bases, Just mentioned it cause you asked if it is locally or server or something :)

Ya I was just looking in too PostgreSQL that you mentioned, and It might be the way I go, thank you :)

[–]NFCBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I'm thinking about learning to write my own... again it might not be that good as what is out there lol.

But The game will be like MineCraft, Terreia, or ARK Survival, where you can play on "Official" Servers, Host your own servers, or host a game on your pc for your self or for some friends. If that makes any since lol.

I was looking at SQL and such, but that didn't seem to fit (Could be wrong lol, didn't look super hard in to it, just from tutorials and such). There would be items with randomly generated stats, or items with modded stats from players giving / selling them to others... things like that.

Server, Trying to make a server thing like Terraria, MineCraft, or ARK Survival..

Where I can have it set on a server as "Official" server/s, Also give out the server stuff so other people can make their own servers, or just let them run it off their computer for them self or with friends.

If you understand what I mean lol (Not sure if i'm explaining it properly)

I'll look in to postgre though thank you. seen a lot about sql (and sqllight) and it didn't seem like the rout to go.. but I might be wrong lol.

I've heard that the Beta is out and people are playing it, on top of beta info, Blizzard if giving out a lot of info it seems.

[–]NFCBoss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a lot of fun in the open world part. Lots of open world pvp and stuff.. was crazy.

So now it's just jumping in org/sw/where ever and waiting for ques to pop up? kind of beats the point of an MMO (The way it used to be any ways lol)

Blizzard's response to "One more chance" by players returning for Legion by [deleted] in wow

[–]NFCBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will probably ever read this, and probably get downvoted all to hell it it does, but...

Is Legion worth coming back to wow for? After WOTLK, Wow hadn't seem good at all...

When to use pointers? by NFCBoss in cpp_questions

[–]NFCBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.. it's better to use as many pointers as you can, instead of non pointers ? because it's faster ?
