I figured there was one for Ghostbusters, so let's not leave this one out.
Aethers new project is about to be released. I've been playing the beta for a while and it seems like a damn good game...preorders are in stores now.
Ship combat in this game is amazing and actually fun. Tons more fun with a group. It will be a game where PvP rules all-thank god. The non-ship combat leaves more to be desired from me, but there are excellent foundations.
The economy is completely user driven. You can buy basic ammunition and get some items from missions, but otherwise everything is player made - and that process is intricate and done very well.
I have my preorder which gets you into the game a week before normal launch, and a parot pet - I'm going to name mine Lits.
I am also a "Captain" in their Boarding Party, which is like LESIG for mxo. Let me know if youre interested. If you are in game, my full name in there is "Fuse BOX", a pirate.
-
A parrot can never replace Lits.
-
Lits can never sit on my shoulde.....wait a minute...
Lits can never squawk like a par.....wait a minute...
Lits can never do things with a pecker lik.......shit...
Lits doesn't like fruit loops.
-
I've been watching that game's development for a couple of years now. I have even had a few of my flag designs accepted to be used in the game. This is one of two MMOs I'm looking forward to playing.
-
awe-some. Whats the other? I played TR beta for a bit, wasn't inpressed enough to pay to play, but it's playstyle and Logos system made it hella interesting and a really fun storyline. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Fallen Earth.
-
By the way, if I give you a basic png are you good enough to create a good flag sail design off it? It's really simple - an outline of a bomb from one of my old sigs. i also really want the FA angel on my sails!
-
Two MMO's that are in development are getting me excited:
Star Trek Online
Stargate Worlds.
-
I'm hearing LOTS of buzz about SGW... STO on the other hand looks like it could be good, but I havn't heard as many good things so far. They're both still young in the process though.
-
They are really strict about the image being something that would fit in the time period of the game. I know the FA symbol as it currently stands would not fall into the appropriate catagory, but it could be redesigned to fit.
If you have an idea send it to me at phienyx@comcast.net and i'll do what I can.
The other MMO i'm looking forward to is Darkfall. They have some very interesting sounding features that will set it apart from most other MMOs if they can pull them off.
I followed STO for a minute, but began to hate the direction they were taking with it.
-
I'm locked out for like 48 hours, i come back and ya'll are debating my parot-ness? *facepalm*
SWG (which is Star Wars Galaxis, not Stargate Worlds) had a working economy and it was one of the major draws to the game.
-
SWG's working economy was awesome.
Stargate Worlds, you say? Interesting...
-
Is anyone familiar with the series? Apparently you can ascend..... Woah... or even become an Ori.

I'm all set with that... I just want to play as a wraith... =p

It's pre-ori and they havent confirmed ascention... :(
Also, I dont think the Wraith are in it :( They're the best baddies... after the Ori of course.
-
ori smori... they're just stargates interpretation of the medieval catholic church. Now the wraith... they're badass bug people who suck the life out of you threw a mouth on their freakin hands.
-
So the Ori are politicians?
-

Those pics look great!
I can't wait to play it myself.
You can see my submissions under "user content" at the official site. I believe I submitted all my art under the name Phienyx or Xannder Phienyx. I can't get you a link because I'm at work and all gaming sites are FORBIDDEN. fuckers.
-
Well, I have just received an invite and have been accepted to the POtBS open beta.
-
That does look good.
-
It took friggin forever to download....jeez. Now I'm gonna have to wait until today after work to play it.
-
Cool, well like I said, my name is Fuse BOX. I'll get you leveled QUICK. PvP gives more exp per hour than missions. Rule is Mission for money, PvE/PvP for exp. Make sure you go Pirate.
-
Also they're doign a friends program thing for the Boarding Party. Go here for that:

-
I'm heading home now. Let see if my old ass vid card can keep up. I'm close to having my new machine up and running, but I'm not quite there yet.
-
I'll be on AIM: BSFuse, or also in the potbs irc chat.
-
Just got accepted to open beta... My main will most likely be a pirate by the name of Venlar =p
-
you have to have a last name and communication is done with both names... it sucks
-
In that case It'll most likely be Venlar MacHeath
-
Alright so i'm in open beta... only thing is... the lag is making the game unplayable for me... anything involving ship combat = warping ship around zone and unresponsive controls... i almost died in a tutorial because i couldnt fight back. I played during the stress test and nothing like this happened. it's quite frustrating.
-
I applied for the open beta. :D

I had the same issues. I had to open some ports (didn't mark down which ones and my router has a ton open) and also make a tweek.
Copy this file to your install directory and it should force the packets to use TCP instead of UDP and fix the lag.

-
that worked out the lag issue... thx =p
-
I'll try that and see if it works for me, however, I think my issues have to do with my ancient vid card.
....which makes me wonder how low I can get the settings to go.
-
I hope I am privileged enough to get in ^_^

The biggest thing that helped with my video lag was turning the avatar count down to a smaller number.
-
It doesn't help that my vid card is a little older than the recommened either.

Ok, I guess I'm still a little bit of a noob about some of this. I'm not quite sure where to locate this directory. help?
-
I'm in the beta son!

look for something under program files/pirate of the burning sea or maybe program files/flying labs/potbs or something like that.
-
I just toss that file in the directory anywhere?
-
No, not anywhere. In your programfiles/potbs (install directory) save the file with the filename "pirates_local.ini" into that directorya dn it should fix it. You will get a notice in game after a minute or so saying "data could not be transerfered on UDP port blah blah" or something like that. DOn't worry, you'll be fine.
=)
-
Preorder game is active. Anyone buying at the end of the month?
-
I wasn't able to play beta as my comp couldn't keep up. I'll be purchasing as soon as my new comp is up and running.
Maybe I should design an angel flag that fits in with the time period in the mean time. ;)
-
Well I have a char on Blackbeard and a char on Kidd. Both named Fuse BOX
-
what the hell kind of pirate name is that?! There was no friggin thing as a fuse back then. You should have just named yourself Box. :p
-
Untrue. As a matter of fact, a type of fuse that was used EXTENSIVLY at that time was in one of my first FA sigs. And FuseBOX was the name of my Radio show, so it just kind of stuck...
