Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Yes, but it might be hard to find one that the gamemasters would find appropriate for the younger players.
On the plus side I'm only 45,000cr and 3 heavy gears away from being completely decked out in 4 star gear (was able to nab my 2 4 star weapons last night which was STUPIDLY lucky. Also managed to craft a unique variant on one! + Attack speed on a Vile Striker!)
The game kicks ass. Also getting into Tier 2 really is not as hard as people are making it, although it is MUCH tougher if you are trying to do it solo. You just need a 2 star piece in your weapon, your armor, your helm, and your shield.
I think most people are trying for specific sets for the requirements which would make it much harder to accomplish, the trick is to just look at the recipes you find, craft the stuff you actually have the mats for, and then once you are in a haphazard mismatched set of 2 star gear you go into Tier 2 where you start finding the difficult components much more often. Then you can start building your 3 or 4 start set that you really want.
It also helps to play with friends so you can pool your resources (Hey I have 30 blue shards I don't need, do you have any light shards?) and it helps even MORE if your friends are all trying to build the exact same set as you.
For example, I'm going with the pretty vanilla Cobalt set (easy recipes to get and decent stats) where as one of my friends is going for the gunslinger set, another one is building up a good bombing set, and the fourth is looking to get the mage set. All of our sets are fairly different so our material costs to clash too often. Because of that we have a pretty open policy of just trading over whatever mats people need to finish up their gear. As a result we're all in at least 3 star stuff and when a few of our other friends joined in the other day we gave each of them a fulls et of 2 star gear with just the random mats we has floating around.
tl;dr awesome fun game, play with more than just yourself.

I'm thinking I might be able to get Fruit Fornicators as a guild name, but I don't know if it will fit in the name limit (if there is one, haven't looked) and I'm probably going to ask a GM if it'll cause problems. So some backup names might be good. I'll be home in about an hour and will work on the OP then.
To answer a previous question, a 360 gamepad is pre-configured to work (just make sure it's on before starting the game). I play the game with a 360 gamepad on my couch, it's great fun.
Hope to see a nice guild of you fine chaps soon!
Is it just a 360 pad?
Do I need to use xpadder to get it to work with another type?
Not a big deal really, and I haven't fiddled with it; but playing yesterday made me think: Ya, needs a gamepad.
Also, probably jumping the gun but any plans to bring this to XBLA or PSN?
As far as XBLA and PSN, nothing has been announced at this time.
Clawshrimp! Thank you. I saw a reference to that somewhere on the forum earlier today and thought it was perfect, but couldn't remember it when I made my post. Consider it made.
Edit: Shit, I didn't realize making a guild was so expensive. Well, I bit the bullet and bout $5 worth of CE. It'll be my contribution to cause, and also trying wangle a way to gather that much CE without dropping cash while one of the makers is right here* seemed a little crass.
*That's really cool by the way. Thanks for showing up and answering questions.
I have a question of my own. Is there any facility in game for taking screenshots? I tried and all it did was take a picture of whatever was opened behind the game client. I dug around in the install folder (fun to find btw. There were two between the LocalLow and Roaming bits of the virtualized fs) and couldn't find a folder where it might drop screenshots the way WoW does. Doesn't mean they're not there. Am I missing them? I wanted to show off one of the Devlish Drudgery levels, which make me giggle every time I go through one.
Sorry, I answered in a stupid way. It launches from the browser but doesn't play in the browser. You can also download a manual installer if you have any problem with that option.
And there's no NPC mats trader I've seen, I was going off player-shouted prices in town.
"Spiral Knights - Imagine SEGA made a Zelda game"
edit: I think I saw SEGA in a screenshot, but I didn't look close
edit: I wanted to try it, but then it said I need Java. I uninstalled it and its harassing updater after Reddit's ad server got infected with a malicious Java applet. If the choice is between making sure worthy sites get money and playing a game, the worthy sites will always win.
edit: apparently you can just download it separately. Why do they need the Java applet? :?
Having this on PSN would be beyond amazing, just sayin'

Like I said, the marketing stuff wasn't giving me a boner. I'll try it out at some point in time, I loves me some steampunk (*hides from Pony*)

The patch along with free to play is adding another PvE Raid Instance and some major class rebalances.

I'm sure a host of other problems will surface as I play. This entire game screams "I went F2P for a very serious reason".
Yeah, it's called Firefall.
MechWarrior Online: Khyber Pryde
Actually it was, for the conquest portion of it.
nope, they never had a subscription. They were going to when it first came out, but then decided that it wasnt a good enough value so they never actually instilled a subscription model.
MechWarrior Online: Khyber Pryde
Actually it did, but they gave everyone access to conquest mode for a month to entice them into purchasing the subscription, but no one did so they killed that to try and retain player base so more people would buy the game.
It had nothing to do with them deciding there wasn't "enough value", it was the fact no one was buying it, and their game would have tanked even faster had they not removed it.
The game *did* have a subscription when it launched, it just didn't make it past the free month portion to start charging people.

Is a subscription that was never paid still count as a subscription?

Feel free to share the ones you have left in here. I just figured I wouldn't spell out the name of the game literally, because Google is a bitch and I don't want the whole internet to come upon this place when they Google for beta keys. :?

So by that token, was APB a free to play game? Since they never charged anyone before going shutting down.
I mean the races, classes and skills are the same as they were back when Flagship was still sailing and they haven't been improving the graphics or anything. The only real differences are that they got rid of the overworld again, the quest and missions are different and it's engrishy as all hell.
Seriously though, I haven't played an MMO with such bad translation in a while.
Luckily it's still fun and the only F2P Diablo clone I know that's out now (though that'll change with Path of Exile and the TL MMO).
- Tons of tanks from 3 differnt countries.
- Light, Medium, heavy tanks. Artillery and Tank destroyers are all playable. Artillery has it's own overhead zoom/gameplay mechanic.
- Every tank has diferent parts that have different amounts of armor. (side+rear hits gogo!)
- Tanks have crew that gain exp as you play, crew can get injured and die in combat hindering your aiming/driving ect.
- You can have 3-5 different tanks in your depot you can play and upgrade.
- Destructable buildings and fences + more
- huge teamwork payoff gameplay
- - THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER: When you die in a battle you can instantly leave the battle (your wreck will stay and you'll get awarded exp/money when the battle is over depending on your performance in that game) and jump into another one of your tanks and play ANOTHER game while your destroyed tank siting in another game. So you basiucally never stop playing the game it's awesome!
Anyways the beta for this is free right now and i'd suggest people try it. T1 and T2 tanks get paired up with eachotehr. When you get to T3 and can sometimes get thrown into BIG BOY land and face bigger tanks, tanks you do not want anything to do with if you're a light tank. XD But lucky each side is usually balanced with each side having acouple palyers with big tanks, artillery, medium and light tanks.
Me and acouple friends have been playing together and it's been a blast cooridinating on vent and what not. The game is almost completely different when you're palying with friends of the same tank type and working together.
Will deffinately play when it launches soon. I stress though you must accept when you play this game and start in your shitty T1 tank that just going into battle and HITTING an enemy can be counted as a victory before you're blown to bits. Don't expect to last long in these starting tanks, just jump out of the battle when dead and grab another tank then jump back in to earn money fast and get to better tanks.
Anyways just thought i'd mention this game, i'm sure it has been mentioned before, not sure where (search doesn't work) so i'd figure i'd just post my thoughts here.
I was skeptical at first, but once you realise you can't win em all and just enjoy the victories you do get, the game is a blast.

If your going to download go bit torrent link its way faster in their downloads section.
You will definitely enjoy it for a bit, but it will wear on you.
I personally enjoy the light tanks, after a not quite a week i'm just about to get the top one (Leopard) but even the T3 light tank (luche) i've taken down shermans solo with awesome driving/positioning. This game can really reward skill and teamwork. Get acouple friends and play all the same type of tank. It helps the enjoyment tremendously.
