Steven don't drink the devil's brew.
That said, as someone with a side hustle of making spirits and liqueurs, I consider this to be a character flaw.
I agree.
i was gonna ask that T_T
Grandmaster could also only be a title given when a profession skill reaches the maximum. So master would deal with T4 and T5 once their skill is higher.
Not, I am going to start my own game studio successful, but above average, I think. He is deceased now.
Thank you.
I guess I feel that Dygz is inherently not honest about his position. He is fairly consistent, but not honest. It feels to me he has an objective that he is unwilling to openly admit. I certainly could be wrong, but all I have to go on is how I see it.
I could see how you would think my continued irritation about this makes it seem like I am angry. I am really not, but i do appreciate your 'concern'. I watch all of your shows (i dont follow or subscribe)... I think you and dygz both have some agenda's you dont want made public. Neuro is solid. He calls it like he sees it, not how he 'wants' it. I respect that.
I am reluctant to engage you, since i feel you are a wackadoodle, but ...
specifically, how is Dygz a positive influence [onto] the game?
Not the community, the game. @Fantmx is pretty biased and too close on this topic, his agreement to this is fairly predictable.
Despite my personal objections to some things, I agree Dygz is a positive influence on the community. But, I very much disagree he has had a positive influence on the game.
You typically struggle with the "specifically" part so I would like to admonish you to actually answer the question asked, not what you made up in your head was the question.
My favorite technique is Horton, but my college instructor loved Graham.
Shortly after I started working at Activision, I began taking West Coast Swing classes.
So, West Coast Swing and East Coast Swing through 2004.
By 2004, I was mostly taking Salsa and Bachata.
Right now, I have 1 WCS class, 1 Jazz class, 1 or 2 Cardio Salsa classes, 1 Merengue, 1 Freestyle Nightclub class, 3 Bachata classes and 4 Salsa classes. They just started an East Coast Swing class a couple weeks ago that I will probably jump into tonight.
Awesome, do you have a regular partner, or do they match you up with people?
Maybe EQNext was also taking ideas from L2 - I dunno.
NW Sieges don't seem anything like Ashes Sieges.
Especially since I can completely ignore all the PvP in New World.
That being said - I probably would have not played NW with their Alpha PvP designs.
(Which is also why it will be great if those NW Alpha players can get their PvP fix from Ashes.)
I either Follow or Lead - depends on whether the class has too many Followers or too many Leaders.
I don't have a dance partner at the moment.
The companion game, Landmark, was playable from 2014-2016.
its pretty cool you are doing that.
in game dances with Dygz! 10g. Sign up today.
payable to @dygz'sfreeholdbid
production or alpha or beta?
Landmark was in Alpha from 2014-2016, but...
They called it Beta at some point in order to meet the dates for Early Access packages.
Kinda similar in some ways to Ashes and the Apoc Battle Royale, except the big mistake SOE/Daybreak made was keeping Landmark playable 24/7 for more than 6 months - which meant they kept improving Landmark but never truly worked on implementing EQNext.
it seems to get a lot of 'press' for a game that did not make it out of development.
So, it's shocking that it didn't make it out of development.
I wonder why, i mean, if it was so good....?
Also, more than a little ironic given the "Steven is not a game developer" mantra of some... apparently, being a "real game developer" does not guarantee success. weird.
I think I remember you being in on the 'Steven is not a game developer", is that correct @Dygz ?
Super cool. Sounds really fun. I might have to check out a class sometime. Thanks for the reply.
I mean, I know I've said this to you before, but I never said the thing in your quote.
With the amount of things I havent said that you have attributed to me, things from people with different perspectives, it's no real wonder you think I am "wackadoodle".
And because SOE got bought out and became Daybreak Games.
So…brand new board of directors and publisher.
Landmark is a great lesson for Ashes Alpha 2. Probably not wise to keep it running 24/7 through the Betas.
Steven is not an experienced game dev with a released game on his belt.
T3 = is 30ish stuff it seems, steven said there was a debate to have freehold unlock at level 30 so it lines up with processing progression, so i would guess T1 = 1-10 T2 = 11-20 T3= 21-30 T4= 31-40 and T5 = 41-50 roughly
what is Landmark?
It was essentially a public test of EQN, but was also put to use as a build site as the games terrain was sort of voxel based.
Landmark perhaps was to EQN what Apocalypse was to Ashes, only it was up permanently.
EQN was also gonna have a node system similiar to AoC aswell however EQN got scrapped due to unable to over come a tech hurdle which im guessing the node system was the tech issue they were having :P seems like AoC has cracked it though.
Apparently EQN is back in development too
Back in development?
Daybreak are hiring developers for an unannounced high fantasy title. That is the limit of what I personally know.
