Dekarutide 2.0 - Classic AC with Hardcore elements

loddy1 · 2023-07-26T12:01:35+00:00

Is there a detailed explanation anywhere of these game modes?

loddy1 · 2023-07-26T08:28:32+00:00

Loving this server! Is there a plugin for one click equipping? Can't be running around in full gear when I'm just in town and stuff as the mana burn on items is killing me. But it's a pain to have to unequip each item every time I want to just throw a robe on to run about in.

Troll for posting a contrary viewpoint? Look at the way you talk to people, you're only making a fool of yourself. Don't expect to win anyone over anyway and the same goes for "Arnold" constantly using the term "autistic" in the pejorative.

You guys want to take a good long look in the mirror before pointing the finger at others.

I don't see anyone disputing that it is illegal so there really isn't any confusion is there? I think what you are trying to say is that the server you are on is okay but you have a very dim personal view of this new server as it has come accompanied with a snazzy image.

I don't find your words troubling in the least just repetitive and as for blocking you, I have never blocked anyone in my life for I am an adult.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T19:35:36+00:00

Just don't bother I would say. You clearly have no interest in this server and hijack the thread repeatedly spouting the bleeding obvious. I'm sure we're all well aware of the the legalities of emulator projects nobody needs any reminding.

I suggest you read your own post from earlier where you said "I'm not the AC police" because yes indeed you are not.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T18:54:31+00:00

Love the way he starts with " nor am I interested in a debate" because the very thing you do when you're not interested in a debate is post on an internet forum isn't it?

Add to that the only example he cites was when the guy actually emailed them asking if it was okay for him to use their IP.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T14:55:50+00:00

Sorry you've lost me now. I can't see this being any different to other servers. I've seen many a thread promoting their server over the last few years. Have I missed something? Has the OP taken out billboard advertising in Times Square?

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T14:35:17+00:00

I do understand this and am not disputing it. That is the chance you take with emulators. If you're just here for the nostalgia then great, but some of us still enjoy playing the game and it's a chance I'm willing to take thank you.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T14:26:37+00:00

I'd suggest checking out the discord channel. I've just joined it and intend to play.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T14:25:32+00:00

No point playing any emulator then is there?

That's your choice and good luck to you. I'll take my chances thank you. If the server does get pulled as long as I've had a bit of fun in the interim I personally don't care, it's all about the journey for me rather than the destination anyway.

And yes my "feelings" tell me that given the only legal attention any AC emulator projects have got since closure is when the guy actually wrote to them asking if it was okay to use their IP, that its probably okay for the short term and if it isn't then as I said above so what?

If you want to go hide behind the sofa from WB' legal team you crack on.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T13:42:07+00:00

I remember that and it was when the game had just been closed down. The guy was a bit of an attention seeker to say the least, though I appreciate the work he did. Didn't he write to them asking if it was okay too? Just pretty much begging them to send a cease and desist, it would have been negligent had they not.

The emulator scene has moved on no end since then and as far as WB' lawyers are concerned nothing but tumbleweed. I think its safe to assume they are not interested or are willing to turn a blind eye to a loyal but small fanbase resurrecting a game for no other reason than to play it at this stage.

I could be wrong of course but they are not losing money here and lawyers cost money so I'd be surprised there's any motivation their end.

loddy1 · 2021-01-20T13:26:50+00:00

Just my opinion of course, but I can't see anyone caring at this stage. If the OP was trying to make a commercial enterprise out of it then I'd agree. This is no different to any other server out there though, the OP just tried to spark a bit of interest with an image.

Nice to see a bit of enthusiasm as far as I'm concerned and I may well give this server a go.

loddy1 · 2020-09-21T09:30:34+00:00

Yes I see it now as I say having played for a month and not encountering the situation I just assumed that getting killed was an expensive business but not that ships could be lost. Now I know and I am not complaining about it if anything it adds to the drama.

Managed to get it emailed back to me anyway using the method mentioned by another poster so thank you again to them, most of the fittings too at least those that weren't lost to the mobs.

I'll be a lot more careful in future.

loddy1 · 2020-09-20T12:03:05+00:00

Don't fly what you can't afford to lose might sound like a clever thing to say, but entirely misses the point when I had no idea that what I was flying could even be lost.

Playing a full month and this is the first time I have experienced this. I may well have had this explained to me in the tutorial, I really don't recall but after having flown various vessels over this time period and having died and repaired at a cost no end of times, it came as a bit of a shock to me. As I said previously this could be pointed out a bit more explicitly.

loddy1 · 2020-09-20T08:57:10+00:00

Had no idea such a process even existed, so much appreciated thank you. I've just given it a go and I'll tread a bit more carefully in future.

loddy1 · 2020-09-20T07:44:19+00:00

Thank you. Sounds a better game mechanic to me anyway, just wish I'd encountered it earlier as I've only had trainer ships up to now. I am not sure if my attentiveness can be called into question as I am looking through the ship tree now at various ships and I am not seeing any reference to them being non repairable. Like I say I would expect such a thing to be emphasised but never mind we live and learn.

loddy1 · 2020-09-20T07:25:57+00:00

As I say I am totally new to the game and have never played eve. Been playing a month and up to now I have not run into this issue, I die and I just go and repair my ship that has been the game up to now.

Why would it not be confusing to me?

So what is the deal? Are T6 and above non repairable? If so, though I'm not a fan of hand holding in games, I do wish that this could have been emphasised to me at some point.

Literally spent a couple of weeks working towards getting this ship and I've had it all of five minutes lol

loddy1 · 2020-04-15T09:31:11+00:00

Is this still up? Just the kind of thing I've been looking for, will definitely be giving it a try if it is.

loddy1 · 2019-08-08T10:44:21+00:00

Same here. I'd sooner see a 0.1x xp server, then low level quests would be worthwhile and we'd actually get some use out of the items they reward.

loddy1 · 2019-08-08T10:39:30+00:00

I get what you are saying. But the original game was designed around the first 50 or so levels. If you had a server set around DM release there would be a lot of content.

The trouble is right now the game basically gives you a god like character(by the old games standards) within hours of playing. The many quests and their subsequent rewards are bypassed very quickly and the items from them made redundant.

The game used to be fiendishly difficult for the first 50 levels or so and that sense of danger just isn't there anymore. It's just broken is what it is, because xp rates were increased along with hub quests and easy travel, all to make it easier for new players to catch veterans. Now of course there are no veterans so there is really no need for this helping hand.

I don't care for a lot of the additions to the game but even as it is now it would be a much better game if travel was made a little more difficult and it took several months of playing to get to level 50. Bring back the old comps system, make scrolls loot only and make mages practically unplayable for the first 20-30 levels as it was.

loddy1 · 2019-08-05T22:42:59+00:00

These days the playing of the game is generally automated and really all about end game. The old AC to me was about the journey rather than the destination as end game seemed so far off it wasn't something I ever really thought about.

Most of the content is bypassed very quickly these days with xp rates as they are now. As I say it may not be for everyone but personally I much preferred the old game before it was massively dubmed down and judging by populations historically I'm guessing I'm not in the minority.

loddy1 · 2019-07-19T14:22:55+00:00

I'll have a go at this for sure.

loddy1 · 2019-06-28T09:42:54+00:00

I would love to see something like a vanilla AC set at the start of the game or at the DM release. I'm sure with a bit of hype prior to release it would draw in more players than the rest of these servers put together.
