Q: Leveling up in solo-play?

I prefer solo play, and I'm asking this question mostly as a follow-up to my previous question: Crime.NET Offline. As many have pointed out in the my previous question, my main problem arises from being low-level and preferring to play solo. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, mission lists that ...

A: What determines the quality of loot in horadric caches?

As of now, difficulty does not affect Horadric Caches. Originally, there was a bug which allowed Imperial gems to drop from Caches on Torment difficulty, but that has since been patched. As Horadric Caches are not affected by difficulty, they also cannot drop Torment-exclusive legendaries. This i...

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. "some piggy little human"

Alex M.

did you know? divine divinity got its retarded name because of some silly CEO's or something idea

because Sudden Strike was really successful, they decided it was because of the name

and the new RPG had to have an alliteration in the name

the sequel of the sequel is Divinity 2: Ego Draconis

well, beyond divinity isn't really a sequel, more like a game set in the same universe

> Long story short - contract had Divinity: The Sword of Lies in it. Publisher revised it to Divinity: The Sword of Lies (working title). The day the contract was signed, we were informed the new name was going to be Divine Divinity, courtesy of the CEO who just made tons of cash with Sudden Strike and now figured that any new title needed to have an alliteration in it, or so we were told.

We told them that was a stupid idea. They didn't like us telling them it was a stupid idea and they were also the ones checking our milestones so eventually we had to shut up, especially when inevitably …

in any case, I recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet; it's essentially what you get if you mix Diablo 2 with a fantasy world inspired by Tolkien's, and with a story deep enough to be Elder Scrolls-tier

Alex M.

hehe, not sure what tastes you guys have

@GnomeSlice no, ask me after I fix my gpu

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice Just by name alone, I thought this had at least something to do with desserts.

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. It looks pretty great. I've never been a big RPG buff but every now and then I see one that catches my eye.

@Unionhawk Yeah, it takes place during the roman empire and you have to collect desserts and reach a certain BMI to get a disability pension

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice To be fair, the romans probably had that

GnomeSlice

Probably

Alex M.

I have a hate towards anything roman or greek in RPGs though

probably because of titan quest which seemed like the blandest game ever to me

GnomeSlice

02:49

@AlexM. Tell me when you fix your GPU

They have a review by Chef Boyardee

seems legit

@AlexM. It's only inspired by the roman empire

Alex M.

the hate is still there; it's enough for me to see architecture

Alex M.

shadowrun returns is a successor of this

Shadowrun (1993 video game)

|genre = Action role-playing |modes = Single-player |platforms = SNES |media = ROM cartridge }} Shadowrun is a cyberpunk-fantasy action role-playing video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), adapted from the tabletop role-playing game Shadowrun by FASA. The video game was developed by Australian company Beam Software and first released in 1993 by Data East. The game is loosely based on the novel Never Deal with a Dragon by Shadowrun co-creator Robert N. Charrette and set in the year 2050. The player takes on the role of Jake Armitage, a man suffering from amnesia...

to me it's currently the only game with a turn based combat tactical enough to rival ToEE's

GnomeSlice

Oh, Shadow Warrior

Alex M.

this is a project by a guy who isn't exactly a regular at gamedev.se but anyway: kickstarter.com/projects/vavel/…

GnomeSlice

He's asking for way, way too much

Alex M.

what do you guys think?

yup

GnomeSlice

03:07

Especially if they are asking for that much, and expect to get it, they should do a breakdown of where the money is going.

badp

Trent Hawkins

@AlexM. For 2mil they could at least clean up the reward tier side-bar. yeesh.

Alex M.

yeah, seems kickstarter doesn't allow you to change that

@AlexM. I can kinda understand, don't want to chance the devs pulling the reward-rug out from under the backers. But it certainly makes you question the quality they're capable of.

@JoshPetrie since you know better, how realistic is it to start working on a MMO with a minimal budget, work on a limited number of servers, and increase the server count as you raise money for the project?

David M

LessPop_MoreFizz

@trent I don't think it's difficulty accounting for scale at launch, so much as it's a conscious decision not to plan their entire architecture around a launch day traffic spike which is way out of line with the load thereafter.

user4704

Yes.

user4704

That.

user4704

03:27

Also, sometimes the launch "scale" issues are not at all what you'd think.

user4704

Sometimes they are problems that would be solved by "buying more servers," as the players often assume.

Trent Hawkins

@LessPop_MoreFizz fair enough.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@josh maybe if you fed the hamsters running around to power your servers with a fully organic diet, you'd have fewer outages!
