    Quote from Skjalg

    After playing some more when I have the time then I gotta say that this is the most buggy Blizzard beta I've ever played (I've played all the WoW beta from early on). No bugs that I've encountered in WoW has broken the game for me, but the new Battle.net in particular is doing just that. I currently cant team up with anyone, and my friends list are only visible 1/20th of the times I log in (thats also the times I can play with my friends). But when I do play with a friend we "start over" with the 5 pre-matches where you are not ranked and you meet only nubs.I get to do a lot of weird strats, but its not really that fun anymore without any challenge

    Indeed, This is largely due to a profile corruption issue that is already fixed but has yet to be deployed.

    yeah he's on the same team as me!

    Man work is great, even better than I expected. I really hope to see more mapcore people at blizzard in the future .

    Irvine is very boring though, it really is corporationtown USA. I think I'll get a car in a while and move somewhere nicer, maybe close to the beach =).

    boring is an understatement... there is nothing to do past 9 :/

  • Blizzard Vs Sentura

    I would not even say 99.9% of them fail but most people who work on indie companies came from the likes of places like blizzard and they at least have an understanding of what the industry has to offer and what it takes to make a game. I mean sure not every gaming company is awesome but a lot of them are. I do think if your going to comment on the company you should at least work for them or have worked for them or even better had a job in the industry; because you really do not know what your talking about until then. I think you find anyone who works in the industry is crazy passionate about their company and their products and for you to sit there and say well the company sucks because they don't innovate or they just release the same product over and over... is really a slap in the face because you know nothing about it and these people make huge sacrifices to their lives and families for your entertainment and not because they give a shit about what you say.. but because they love it and they want to make something awesome. I would agree with Furyo if you would question working at a company like Blizzard or Valve etc... then you should likely look somewhere else for a job because your not the type of person the industry wants.

    nah, i'd just rather work somewhere with innovation rather than reuse. i did wish him luck though.

    are you serious? and if yes, care to elaborate?

    LOL... innovation LOL it takes more than innovation to make a good game. Sure I am bias since I work there but I think the reason is successful is because they make good games. If you think the gaming industry is full of innovation then you are an idiot. The gaming industry is one of the least innovative industries out there, companies are often just rehacking what other companies do but as i said it takes more than that to make a good game. Once again I think your just jealous... go get a job in the industry before you make comments on it

    haha this is news to me!

    And yeah I'll be on the new mmo team, so that should be interesting . I'll be moving to the US first of february, can't wait!

    yea that part of the building is nice... on the same floor I am... then again maybe that is not a good thing

  • Blizzard Vs Sentura

    I look forward to his working here... I think Sentura is just jealous Knowing what Pericolos0 would likely be working on, I think he has a great op to work with some really awesome people and on an awesome title. Plus he gets to work in the part of the building that has 2 bars LOL

  • Unreal engine 3 for consumers? WTF ?

    Quote from Zacker

    Regarding save/load, this is something that would have to be handled by an external application. Possible, but not exactly elegant.One thing I am wondering is, if this UDK makes UT3 modding obsolete in most cases, as this engine and editor version is clearly much more recent?

    its a total hack though and one that I think is just lame... So you have to create a 3rd party app that listens on a TCP port and then inside the game/mod you create a TCPLink to talk to the 3rd party app LOL I mean thats a total hack. Unreal supports save and loading I do not see why they could not have abstracted that to unrealscript. That is the major issue I have with the UE3 engine is they give you this scripting lang and there are things you can't do with it because epic said hmm this would be too slow in script so lets make it all in native code but not expose what we are doing in native code to the user which is what they did here for saving and loading of games.
