Hear hear NoCry. Totally agree with that statement. And in doing so, should apologise for not attending Saturday. I forgot I had signed up.
Also, on top of the starting late, I'm not a fan of some large number of breaks we sometimes (not always) incur. Especially toward the back end of a raid stint.
How? How would that even be possible? I don't want to de-value Bethesda's experience as a developer, but they don't exactly have a very extensive pool of multiplayer titles that leads me to believe that they know what they are doing. Not unless they buy another dev house, brand it, and call it "Bethesda Austin" or some shit.
Making an MMO is hard. Making a good MMO is harder. This, is a money grab.
Oh, and if Obsidian ends up making this I'm going to commit multiple homicides wearing Margaret Cibrian like a poncho.
a new studio called ZeniMax Online has been created for this game. Apparently it has been worked on for a few years already, which is pretty much the same as when SW:TOR announced.
The few bits that have dribbled out haven't been very promising. They've stuck with the traditional trifecta (healer, tank, dps) along with hotbars and alike. I believe even the developer has quoted it as being "World of Warcraft mechanics".
At present the only thing going for it is the lore. Others might be interested in the 3 faction PvP and non-instanced dungeons. But, I would argue they've been done before, and done better it other games.
Currently, Steam gifts/games, Team Fortress 2 items, Spiral Knights items and Portal 2 items can all be traded. Will there be other games that support trading?
We're working now with other game developers to incorporate both Trading and Inventories. What do you mean by trading Steam Gifts?
Any game you've purchased from the store as a gift, or received as an Extra Copy, can be traded to other users. They can be used to trade for other Gifts, or for items in games supporting Steam Trading. We've added a new checkout option to the Store when purchasing a gift so you can save it for trading or sending later, to support users who want to save games for trade fodder. What restrictions are there on trading Steam Gifts?
Trading a Steam Gift is very similar to sending a gift to someone; just that once it is traded that user can then either trade it again, or open it for themselves. There are no restrictions on territory. Why aren't some of my gifts tradable?
Only gifts that are purchased on trusted accounts can be traded immediately; otherwise there is a 30-day cool down before the gift can be traded. Any account that has made any valid purchase from the Steam Store more than 30 days ago is considered trusted. This is to ensure that all games traded are valuable, and help prevent fraudulent purchases for the purpose of trades. Does Steam Trading mean I can sell my used games?
No, only games that have been bought as a gift, and thus have never been played, can be traded. Once the Steam Gift is opened and added to your game library, you won't be able to trade it again.
As we have 9 people signed up, I figure I can do this and not cause any issues.
Pulling out of the Saturday raid as I'll be spending the day with the girlfriend. And, as I'm the last one signed up for Sunday, I guess I won't be needed for that either.
