looks like as usual blizzard spends all the game budget on the intro and spends pennys on everything else

the spotting system is all screwed up it just randomly uses your commanders skill to see.for example i had a 80% skill crew yet they wouldnt see wortha  crap on a flat map past 100m even thou the at that skill lvl they should be seing a constant 400m unless the other tank is in a bush. they realy need to redo the siting system then they get alot of people like me that left due to it.

i got my copy from steam and had no problems with it working.

there is also some mods at fileplanet u might want to check out.

anyone know any similation games thats like sim earth.ive played spore but its way to dumbed down for me.

if i remember right they said they will never have any true open areas like other mmo. mostly due to enviromental descrution is a big part of the game .

well i dont think vindi would work very well in open area. alot of the bosses if they where in open area they would be way to easy.

vindictus u only things in cash shop are fluff items and stuff like xp pots and such u dont have to spend a dime if u dont want to.

dont know about dragon nest if its gonna have anything that would be mandatory.

dragon nest not sure but it plays kinda like vindictus so i would go with both realy

guess ill just keep to my gtx 275 for now since looking on nvidia website the 275 can process 50billion polygons where the 460 can only do 35billion

i can get the 768 meg gtx 460 for 110$ and the 1gig gtx 460 se for 120$.

so do u think it would be a worthwhile upgrade from a gtx 275

right now im using a geforce 275 gtx i can get a geforce 460 gtx for a good price should i get it.

the 275 has higher polygon fill rate but the 460 has more cores and is faster

hmm a month ago i had no problem only thing was that the opening cut scene would end itself. more than likely whatever they did to fix that is cauingyour problem.best thing i can say is go tothe folder for game see if they have a settings file somewhere that u can change the settings.

did the game work at all before or is this your first time trying to play.

does the first cutscene play at all?try ctrlalot delte to taskmanager and see if they game is still trrying to load. if its not it should have 0 cpu use. also do u hear sound on the black screen?

whats your vid card and also what are u trying to play the europe game or us cb

did u try waiting thru the cinematic. when i play on the europe server when i skip the cut scene it can take a full min till log in comes up. it seems to be have been caused by one of the patches they did

yep sounds like op is a hardcore pvper and made that xysn wont be his next "fix". reading your whole reveiw seems like u bought the game 4 days ago and havent realy played but a few hours and or played 5 min and quite since a majic npc didnt appear and hold your hand.

ok now lets break down the cons of someone who hardly played the game.

1. bugs.  hmm must be your computer have never had any major bugs since i started in mar 2010. and since when is incomple feature a bug.remember this game as a staff of 5 or so for most ofits production.and every game has doomsayers in it its nothing new and wont be gone ever.

2.cost. he chose what the average person is use to paying for a mmo.seems to me on this one u using graphics to equal cost per month of a game kinda

3.devs. first hes not been indecive on realy anything.on the 2 server thing he changed his mind cause he didnt want to split the community and he weighed in the cost/revenue of having 2 servers. and if u played roma victor u would know he didnt leave cause he ran but because of a intense disagreament with how the game should be is all.

4.paper to ingame. everything is working fine. have no idea where this came from since u didnt eleborate on it any.

5.lag. this is why i said u only bought the game last week cause u got it for pvp. constantly nearly since last launch attempt they have been stressing the servers to lag to make sure the server saves and game features are workign right under lag conditions. im guess ing u never read much of the forums.

6.stuborn devs. hes already stated he takes suggestions serously but now read this closely HE WILL STAY ON THE ROUTE HE ENVISIONS THE GAME HE WANTS. there understand now

7.big lake. just by that coment i know and knew u didnt play much. the game is a map of the tahoe region of the usa thats named after the lake. do i even have to say more.

8.pvp. sigh by u putting this on there is dumb because  XYSON IS A SIMULATION/WORLD BUILDER WITH FFA PVP AS PART OF IT. did u read as part of it. its more of like a feature its not the core of the game like in darkfail or mortal dead.if u asked a dev whic is more important drink command or pvp anwser woudl probaly be drinking command.undterstand now if u want i can break it down to elementray grade understanding.

9.crafting objects. man how much did u even play.game has easly right now over 200 items or around it. remember u can do any craft long as u have the tools for it and 1 receipe. later u can lean recepies from other players.

in future dont go giving half assed reveiws of a game u havnt even played any and have only bought it cause u saw ffa pvp and epeened your way to buying it.anyone who reads the forums some and have played 10 hours or more would know most of your supposed cons are just nmade up or are from inexperence playing the game.

yeah best to take advantage of it i preordered my dragon age 2 and saved 20$ on the signature edition. not sure if works on mmorpg but best to get it while u can

I'm actually excited about playing this game because it seems like a FFA PvP game that gives veterans (and newbies) something else to do within the gameworld other than gank people repeatedly.

That said, I'm a bit annoyed by some of the rather archaic and somewhat backwards design decisions.  For instance, eating, drinking, and resting are time consuming real activities.  Maybe it worked in the Sims, but I don't see it as being anything other than an annoyance in Xyson.

Secondly, the no map thing turns me off.  I like to think that a sandbox can give players tons of freedom and gameplay options without making it time consuming and entirely unfriendly to new players or those new to the genre.  I mean, even fellow indy sandbox Darkfall has maps as does Vanguard and modern Everquest.

sigh u dont evenknow what type of game u got do u. XYSON IS A WORLD BUILDER/SURVIAL GAME WITH FFA PVP THROWN IN. understand now. just from your post i feel that u read ffa pvp and auto preordered. cause most of the things u griping about are core componets to how the game plays.

1 it doesnt have maps. did cavemen have maps thats why u dont have one in here. u have to lean to remember terrain features like this rock here or this waterfall. its part of the survial part of the game.

2.eating and drinking its a surviaval game nuf said.

seems like xyson isnt the game for u since its not trying to copy other games but be its own game.

 Right, it certainly was a mistake.

Xyson is a real life sim game, with terrain modification. Currently all crafted structures are pointless, for close to a year, and even then, why build defensive structures when you can just turn pvp off?

I just hope people learn from this, Xyson is not for pvpers.

Worng.

Xsyon is not for gankers/griefers. Not all PvPers are gankers and griefers.

 Well for my real life sim I wanna make a mass murder/pvp/ganker/griefer. That can modify terrain and make armor from your skull. So I guess this is for PVPers then. Thanks and it is for all the above it seems.

before idiots l;ike this one above and others buy the game and also get the wrong idea when they read that the game is ffa full loot.

LEAD DEV HAS ALREADY STATED 1 GREIFING IS NOT ALLOWED AND PUNISHABLE BY BANS.2  XYSON IS A WORLD BUILDER.SURVIVAL GAME WITH PVP ELEMENTS.

theres your warning.

alot of u probaly thinking this gonna be like darkfail that u can get away with anyting and every thing. your wrong. there already even before launch people thats been perma banned from greifing.and yes camping where someone spawns in is considered greifing to the pvp centrics.

ok now a discription of what xyson is since alot read ffa pvp and epeen stroke themself.

this game is a world builder/survial game with ffa pvp. notice how that reads with ffa pvp. pvp is not and will never be the central thing of the game. even right now combat is broken and is not expected to be fixed till after the other stuff. in otherword pvp takes bottom ring to everything else. that means everything like say a bugg that makes say fishing not work right will take prioty always to anything pvp related. had to describe but thats the best  way to put it is that pvp is secondary to anything else.

right now the only real draw backs of being a evil charcter( as of right now evil or good isnt realy activated ingame) is that if u die u go back to your totem well that in itself can hurt cause travel in xyson is very slow.the system he wants to use is like this

good players no real benefits but can trade with neutral and good players only

neutral players have benefit they can trade with anyone

evil players can only trade with neutral and evil players. when they die they go back to their totem. he also says he gonna add more drawbacks to being evil.

when he puts it ingame it will be like this there realy be 2 types of ways to beat someone.

1. u beat them in pvp yet instead of killing u just knock out and u get to choise 1 item on their body to loot

2 u kill them and loot everything.

when its activated if u do action 1 u stay neutral or good with no change but if u do 2 u turn evil and a evil charter is auto kicked from their neutral or good tribe if they become evil.

hopely this clears up some of the missunderstanding that some in the pvp crowd have from reading ffa.just to state it i dont mind ffa pvp but i dont like greifers. imo its 2 strikes u perma banned is what i belive greifers should receive but thats justr my opinion.

Xyson sadly will get ruined by the small but very vocal Pvp crowd they have done numerous polls on there website the pvers pretty much outnumber them 75% to 25% yet for all the noise that 25% make the devs will make the mistake of listening to them,.

 

 

actualy yoru wrong. forum polls never show very good percentage of the pop. if u read the forms look at join dates 99% of those hardcore pvpers have joined xyson in the last month -2 weeks. right now the gm people are not doing much on the greifers due to they waiting for the final whipe before they start policing, but they have already banned people for varous things such as harressing people and other stuff like exploiting the totem pole bug from lag.

the lead dev already said greifing wont be allowed in any form. im not a big pvper yet i will play xyson after seeing how good the devs are. after the free time is up most of the hardcore pvpers will go back to their darkfail and mo finding out that here they cant come and ruin others game expernce without consequences.

I have been daily debating for 2 weeks whether to pre-order this game because it seems to be what I have been longing for in a Mmorpg.

I came so very close to hitting that pre-order button this morning until I read a 5 page discussion on the forum of the main site concerning  "macroes" and "third-party apps".

I remember full-well the downward spiral in the game Asherons Call from macroing and apps such as Sixth Sense, and I believe this game will be rife with the same type of activity.

Based on all the videos I've seen of this game, it will be macro heaven.

1. no one will want to write a bot program for a game like xyson its not gonna be a super populated game.

2.xyson is the type of game that is based on its community.  once the full pvp system is opened u will have evil and good tribes. there already tons of tribes already stated they will hunt anyone thats a criminal or a macroer.

another thing unlike most other games just being near a object dont mean u can use it. u have to actualy look at it and hit a button. for example is using a basket to store stuff. its not like the wow system which would be walk up to it and be close and hit 1 button to open. in xyson u have to go up to it look at it to open it.

[mod edit]

bah was something else its right on edge of my brain but the beers from last nite blocking it lol. ohh well if it took just 1 vid to turn u off of game then thank god u not gonna be in game that means its realy not th game for u.

and aranamu dont forget for 40 bucks u get 2 week headstart, and 2 months free play also
