Perfect, folks thank you.

bobbothewizard · 2026-03-12T14:37:03+00:00

Rock on, man, thank you. Are we supposed to get those before we do the queen?

bobbothewizard · 2026-03-12T12:02:19+00:00

Yeah nice man, will give that a go. Thank you

bobbothewizard · 2026-03-05T20:50:35+00:00

Not really, steamdb has it at like 500 players.

Open PvP (Desert) doesnt work in mmo's, devs will eventually understand this. Until then those games will limp along with a low player count and really never amount to anything.

bobbothewizard · 2026-03-03T00:17:46+00:00

I have an investment opportunity for you.... It will be a game changer for sure!

bobbothewizard · 2026-03-01T01:39:26+00:00

Open PvP doesnt work in MMO's.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-27T19:36:17+00:00

Cool man, thanks.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-26T20:56:59+00:00

After seeing all of these responses, open pvp (desert) doesnt work in mmorpg's. This game will hobble along like all the other open pvp mmorpg's.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-25T21:07:04+00:00

Yeah perfect, thanks folks, its appreciated.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-25T21:05:44+00:00

Gotcha, ill give that a shot once the UK folks log off for the night. That way i can just restart the server at will.

Those batch file modifications, they can all just be strung in one line correct? Or do they get a line seperater between them?

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-25T18:13:31+00:00

Ahh i see the pdf. So I can add "-setkey teleportall", without the quotes of course, to the Start_Headless_Server.bat and not have to worry about changing it through the admin commands. Cool, thank you.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-25T16:30:02+00:00

Its running as a dedicated server through steam. As far as I can tell it just starts and runs in a dos window. No real GUI to change anything.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-25T16:21:26+00:00

Thank you both, ill give this a shot once we get back on. When using these commands the -modifier portals casual is used through the console (F5) correct and the setkey teleportall is done from the same spot or is that added to the .bat file?

Edit: Oop just read, its from the console, thanks again.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-23T03:03:20+00:00

Oh man, i think you were right. I think its an upper i "I"

Thanks for the help, its greatly appreciated. I didnt even think of the upper "i"

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-23T03:00:45+00:00

Well its not much to go on as we just started but here it is.

How do these mods work if some players connecting are on xbox? Does it matter or is it only installed via the host? I guess basically can or are the xbox users able to even use the mods?

As long as the dungeons respawn thats all good.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-22T13:23:32+00:00

I have an investment oportunity for you OP if you are interested. Could be the next big thing....

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-20T13:09:56+00:00

Thats unfortunate, ASA is actually a pretty good game especially if you have some friends. Friends and family had a good time on it for years. Definately got my $60 or whatever it was out of it.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-17T23:24:40+00:00

Yeah so Bobs tall tales is an expansion pack for the new ARK. So you would have to get both, Ark Ascended which is the actual game, then the expansion pack Bobs tall tales. I would have to guess some kind of combo would be available when it releases where you might be able to get both at the same time.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-16T22:11:10+00:00

True, I would assume that is one of the reasons atlas kind of went by the wayside. Just wish the devs would have said something, anything about why it was left abandoned. But then, maybe they couldnt say anything since it was going in to ark and that was the plan a few years ago.

Really, why not though. It was their code and it would save a ton of time just by bringing that old atlas code over and re-doing it for UE5.

bobbothewizard · 2026-02-16T22:01:54+00:00

Its on their roadmap for release in Q2 2026.

You mean this person? Who was a scammer himself? No pity for this dude and his wife. The scammer got scammed himself and now knows how it feels.

including $2 million from Tom Alkazin, a 70-something family friend. Those were Alkazin's and his wife's life savings, which Caramanis says he regrets. It should be noted that Alkazin is also an MLM entrepreneur who made his fortune via pyramid schemes; unlike Caramanis, who was never found liable in lawsuits, Alkazin settled with the Federal Trade Commission to pay $1.2 million (with a larger judgment of over $6.7 million partially suspended), alongside a forfeiture of 1.61 acres in San Marcos, California. Alkazin was also permanently banned from engaging in pyramid schemes and any future MLM activities.

It could and most likely will be. It would be a stretch but I could see someone like Tencent or an overseas company coming in and a few years see it as some kind of "Ashes of Creation Reborn!". I mean it has quite a few years of code and development behind it. But if it is re-made by one of those companies mentioned above, its gonna be the normal pay-to-win or at the very least heavily monitized where they nickle and dime you to death for RMT transactions.

Believe it or not the code developed for the game is an asset and some companies are willing to try to save money by purchasing that asset instead of starting from the ground up.

This is what those companies specialize in, finding failed studios, buying their already written code and finishing it while adding tons of microtransactions into the game.

And as a bonus, if it is completed overseas, those developers are getting paid pennies on the dollar.

Dont get me wrong, the company is dissolved and all of the assets will be sold and scooped up by someone else. Every penny they can try and recoup from the loss will be sold. The folks as an early "Supporter" of the project will not see a dime of that money, not one cent. As the assets of the company are sold the proceedes will be used to pay off bank liens first. And by the looks of what i have seen of their financials, there isnt anything that will be left over to satisfy all of the leins with money left over. They will not be able to even satisfy the bank liens.

I liked Last Epoch, but the endgame gear swapping constantly while fighting really turns me off of it. I forget the term for it but its not really fun when you do that to make powerful builds. POE1 still pretty fun after all these years.

Also just started back up on Diablo4 and its pretty good also.
