I hope 2 is better, i gave my copies of GW to a friend who has enjoyed them.... but i remain hopeful for 2. Admin 3D Worlds and Game Developers Linkedin http://3dworldandgamedevelopers.blogspot.com

After all, some new players may want to give it a shot and some of us still want to collect points for Rainbow Jellyfish :C Most of EotN areas were dull, but I enjoyed Asura areas and Charr Homelands I couldn't care less about snowy areas, though.

I know a lot of people really love it...and i will take another peek, I promise. Admin 3D Worlds and Game Developers Linkedin http://3dworldandgamedevelopers.blogspot.com

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2751 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	Problem is that when GW 2 is released, they won't have much of a reason to keep the GW1 servers open. A large portion of the player base will probably migrate, and GW1 won't generate any more revenue. The servers feel rather deserted these days, and finding a party for some of the missions can be very hard (on the other hand, there are certain missions that seem to be nigh impossible to do with players, like the last 4 in the core campaign, that are incredibly easy to do with just henchmen). What I found made GW better than any other MMO that I've played, from a gameplay point of view, was the fact that the game rewarded skill rather than persistence, in particular in PvP. My old guild was one of the top 100 guilds in the world for a while, and the difference between facing another top 100 guild, and a rank 800+ guild was huge. We had one battle that we won against a ~750guild, without any losses, even though our heal monk and a damage dealer lost connection at the very start of the match, yet we were utterly unable to to anything against the best guilds.

Journeyman Posts : 1316 Joined: 15 JAN 2008 Location: GR Status : Offline	*Originally Posted By CrisGer (25 APR 2011 6:05pm)* Mr Innocent, that link seems to be a hidden sales scam, the mod is never available...or at least whenever I try to dl it says not available and i have to listen to GameFront sales pitches or fill out a survey. If you get it maybe you could share it with us. You mean, you don't have an account on the best modding site in the world, so you can't download directly from it? Well, go create one. If for some reason you don't want to, try this direct Gamefront link, no surveys or whatnot.

I got it yesterday finally thanks and thanks very much for the heads up about that combined updated version it appears to have the latest version of the mod...but I will have to keep digging for the manual as their website appears to have been gone for a while. thanks again.

It is indeed well made.... and if you have any questions that might be helped re the way the game works..be sure to ask over on the Wing Commander CIC forum those people there really know the games well. It is a remarkable series and evokes and entire alternative universe..really one of the most complete ones yet in any space sim....

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2751 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	I think I'm getting near the end of the game. Each mission is rather short, which makes it far less frustrating when you die, and there are still quite a lot of them (with multiple endings, taking you through different paths through the game, depending on how well you do on certain missions). The only real problem that I have with the game has to do with its sprite based graphics. It makes it hard to judge the exact location of a ship, and I've several times crashed into large ships that I thought was further to one side. But that is a technical limitation that I guess would have been hard to do anything about, unless they would have been willing to use single colour polygones. Current Let's Play: Crusader: No Remorse

Grab some good healing potions in Morrowind and heal up my friend..hope you feel better soon. That is a good refuge Ys that is an issue with the early titles in the series Fnord, i think you are are right about it being a limitation of the early tech... it gets better with the later titles.

But i'm having a ball with Star Trek Online It has everything i want in a space RPG: - Big universe to explore - Space AND ground combat - visitable planets - captivating storyline - random exploration - no repetitive missions - great graphics - you can completely ignore all other players 8-)

It's an MMO, so it ain't cheap, a lifetime subscription costs more then 200$ and the developer can always shut down his server, rendering the game unplayable

Stiler Journeyman Posts : 1458 Joined: 27 SEP 2004 Location: US, TN Status : Offline	For me STO wa sa huge disappointment. It lacks everything that makes the show good. No ship interiors, captaini seat, etc. your ship is your avatar while you're flying it basically. On top of this, gameplay wise it just....isn't that fun imo. I mean if it's your first mmo? Yeah it could be fun, however if you have played others mmo's it is really nothing new at all. Of all the things they could have done with the game to make it different/more like Star Trek, they simply slapped on generic mmo gameplay along with the only positive thing the developers know to do, an EXCELLENT character creator. Seriously, it's the best thing abotu the game, the sheer customizatin of your characters is extremely detailed and fun to do. It's from the same developers of City of Heroes/Champions online, etc. Like their other games, it's the best part of them with the gameplay getting rather boring and tedious fairly quickly.

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2751 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	From what I've heard, STO has got a lot better after its release. It was missing a lot of content when it first started, and some things simply did not work as intended, but with patches the game is, according to some, a solid MMO these days. Anyway, I just finished Wing commander 1. I got what I guess is the good ending (driving back the cats from the sector). Next time I'll try to get the middle of the road ending (there are apparently 3 endings, and a lot of missions, many of which you don't get to see during a single playthrough). Now I'm moving on to Ultima 7, part 2: Serpent's isle. Current Let's Play: Crusader: No Remorse

What were they thinking? i wont bother if there is no chance to see your character IN ships. that just does not makes any sense at all. thanks for the heads up.

Deleted User	In looking for something to fill the time until 'The Witcher 2' is released, I came across my free download code for 'Just Cause 2' that I received when ordering rebuild components from New Egg a little while back. I gave it whirl last night and must say it's quite fun. It's a third person shooter with awesome visuals. There is a demo you can google if you're interested. Happy Gaming.

You can visit your own ship anytime, but there isn't much to do 'yet'. I think they've added a lot of content since its initial release. This is also one of the few space games where you as the captain can actually run around space stations and do stuff (buying weapons, aquiring/playing missions, buying and modifying ships, etc. I've already played dozens of missions and all of them have a unique twist to them, you never know what will happen after you've read the mission descriptions 8-) I've played a lot of RPG's in my life, but this one is really unique and very addictive Now i'm going to yap about some wonderful missions i've encountered Spoiler Alert- What started as a bring item a to person b mission, ended with my crew being poisoned because of it, and i had to research a cure. - Exploring an abandonded space station, where i had to manouver my shuttle true physical barriers and figuring out how to enter various doors, to discover it's true purpose - Investigating a recent meteor crash on an unknown planet, only to be ambushed by some nasty aliens

Indeed quite fun for a while. Figuring out how to blow things up in various ways is entertaining... But there aren't that much different things to 'sabotage'. After the 100th generator or 50th pipeline, there isn't anything different about all the other bases and villages on the map. They should have added more unique objects to destroy
