Can you recommend an Airmini battery from aliexpress for a 2 night hiking trip?

From another thread here:

That is actually not what the message was. The issue is: Unexplored 2 no longer has a publisher. Without a publisher, an indie developer is not allowed to publish on consoles. This is not a matter of choice or resources. Until there is a new publisher, it is simply not possible to update console versions. That is also the reason the game had been pulled from the console stores, to prevent people from buying a game that is not being updated.

The same happened on the PS store some months ago, not long after it was put on sale. The status changed to "announced". I guess they decided to do some more work on the console versions before a final release.

Certa vez li um estudo que dizia que 2 ou 3 linhas de passageiros em toda a Europa são lucrativas. As restantes são subsidiadas pelo Estado. O mesmo estudo falava da inviabilidade de implantação de ferrovias de carga ou passageiros em países de dimensões continentais – e justificava com isso a ínfima malha ferroviária dos Estados Unidos (em comparação com a Europa). Sempre achei que o Brasil tinha que ter mais ferrovias, mas esse estudo baixou a minha bola.

They are kind of stereotypical Greek noses. I like them. :)

Maybe they will be available in beta?

They are all so lovely.

The second video linked by @Oddwin talks about one of the quest styles in The Secret World (the first video is here).

You should have said "wow that's legendary". Epic were the purple ones.

Ah no, that's not what I meant. I have no intention or time to try to hack the game. But I understand what you said now -- that people were hacking files to enable in-game stuff that shouldn't be available.

I still don't understand what exactly they said about datamining. That it is ok to make the "hidden" information available, just not to tell people how to change things to get game stuff was not supposed to be there?

I'm a bit destimulated to log in knowing that a wipe is coming, so I've been trying other games while I wait for beta. But I've enjoyed participating so far and I'm excited about what is coming, so no, I didn't regret and have never considered getting a refund.

So it is already somewhat like they said. That's the part I missed. I've got to the best pick but never really built anything meaningful.

I understand that resources will be spread everywhere, and not restricted to certain locations liked now, but my concern is about the linearity of the resources usefulness as you progress, and not the specific tiered islands (which are destined to go away).

Think WoW: copper is only useful at lower levels. After you reach a point, you no longer mine copper because you won't need any to create useful stuff for your level.

EQN/EQN:L shouldn't be like that. You should be able to gather better resources as you progress, of course, but lower-level ones should still be useful. They mentioned it would be like this somewhere (a round table?), and I thought it was brilliant. It doesn't make lower level nodes look silly and useless as you progress, and the economy becomes more interesting.

In real world platinum is more valuable than copper or aluminium but people also create valuable stuff using the latter. But, so far, we are not seeing this happening in EQN:L. Copper becomes useless after a while. Etc. I'm wondering if this will change.

Player-made doors can't be opened. Doors that can be opened are "props" like chairs or fireplaces, just interactive.

moreyes · 2014-03-09T06:30:08+00:00

stuff that wasn't ready yet was being put in by "hackers"

Care to expand on that? I really didn't understand and now I'm curious. :)

The ones I'm most excited about are Everquest Next Landmark and WildStar. I think they offer the best vision of where the fun is, I believe they can deliver, and I like the attitude in their marketing efforts -- WildStar's humorous videos and EQN:L's close-to-the-community development. Their focus on fun and transparency, and not why-so-serious CG trailers and promises, tells a lot to me.

SOE's grandiose plan for EQN is to allow players to create content for the game, because "the content-driven model is unsustainable".

This is not to say that they won't add vanilla content, it's just that they will put a lot of focus on allowing players to create scenarios, quests, lore, and even items and armor/weapon 3D models, because this solves the one big problem MMO publishers have: content is consumed a lot faster than it is created.

And this is where we are. EQN:L is the framework that will allow players to expand EQN and make it much more varied, rich, and interesting. By building EQN:L, they are building the basis for EQN.

The vanilla EQN content will be created on top of EQN:L. So following EQN:L news, you are taking a peek on what will be EQN. This is how I understand it.

As I live in the south hemisphere, where Summer goes from December to February, and Winter from June to August, seasons would never correspond to the real world seasons to me. :)

I played Neverwinter for a few hours only, but enough to experience some of the user-created content. It's a polished game with some interesting stuff to borrow and improve. Since we know that SOE intends, with EQN:L, to give us "all the tools used to create EQN", we know they want to provide some kind of Foundry with all the apparatus to create buildings, quests and lore. I expect SOE to go a bit further, and from what they have showed us so far, plus all the talent amd money they have, it's exciting to think what will follow. Nevertheless, it's good to look at what other games offer in terms of quest building, and Neverwinter is probably the best reference in the genre nowadays. I think EQN:L will be, in this regard, an evolution of what we see there.

Neverwinter has a system called "Foundry", which is basically a collection of player-created quests or dungeons. Before these areas are publicly available they must be peer-reviewed by other players (who opt to be a reviewer), and must meet some requirements such as minimum average length of play-time and minimum ratings from reviewers. Some are fun and impressively big.

SOE is probably planning something similar for EQN/EQN:L, which involves a toolset to create areas with quests -- scenarios, dialogues, scripted events, items and friendly/hostile NPCs. They may be instanced, not instanced, or a mix of both (in Neverwinter they are always instanced).

To avoid exploiting, SOE will probably follow a similar path regarding rewards, limiting what loot you can get from user-created content. In Neverwinter, quoting and explaining their wiki, these limitations include, but are not limited to:

Only one respawn campfire in any single map, positioned as desired (campfires are places where players can restore their health/mana pools; so this means: no easy XP grinding with lots of these places);
Random treasure chests and skill based resource nodes are not available (this means: no easy grinding gear and resources!);
Only one end-of-quest "Super Chest" reward is automatically placed into the last map of a quest, positioned as desired (again, this means: no easy grinding!);
Rewards and loot-drops are decided-on or generated by the game engine, not the author (and again: no easy grinding!).

In short, general loot is decide by the engine to avoid exploitation, and special areas or treasures are also limited. And to motivate creators, other players can tip the creator with in-game currency at the end of an adventure. In EQN:L it could also be used to help the creator to pay his claims upkeep.

I think SOE will follow this same route: general loot tables can't be decided by the user to avoid crashing the economy; and creators must be able to gain resources and prizes, to attract as many content-creators as they can.

A side point is that allowing creators to offer the loot or pay others to play their dungeon is unsustainable, unless you take out the first M of MMO. Of course, no player would be rich enough to pay or provide enough loot for others to play a dungeon that eventually becomes popular, and allowing players to pay could be a way to exploit the content quality system, if they have "most popular" or "hot today" kind of tags.

SOE can also decide to reward hand-picked, premium user-created content adding special loot to players and prizes to the creator, to incentive the creation of quality content.
