I modded the list and added my in-game name :shiftyninja:

However, I don't want to hijack your post Bei337, so I would suggest adding a notice that this is North America only and they IP block other regions.

Interesting... I haven't had an issue with internet lag, but my

graphics are definitely not fluid yet. I have a pretty damn nice

machine, too. Ack.

No internet lag here either, no visual lag either for me, and I'm only running it on a laptop....its a nice laptop though, has an i5 M520, with a 5650 Mobility GPU and 4GB of ram, running it on the "Normal" setting (5 of 8), not the highest but the game looks great and runs great for me.

As for combat... AWESOME. I broke a barrel, picked up the lid

which is like the size of a small rug, and smashed the baddie

over the head with it. I also kicked a guy off the tower in the

prelude. Oh yea!

I know......combat is so fun, in the prelude part, when you have to carry the woman, I just kicked the guys off the tower and what not instead of putting her down to fight. Second boss fight though, the guy smashed me into a pillar which broke my helmet and broke the pillar into many large pieces, so I picked up a piece and smashed it over his head. The combat in this game is just better than any other I have played in recent times. Its like arcade-style fighter game combat but in a 3D world and what not.

Also, I found an option that, when disabled, reverts the combat from attack where camera is pointing to attack in character direction (regardless of camera direction) like I wanted awhile back. Oddly enough, after playing with that setting changed, I found myself turning it back on to attack in camera direction. The way mobs come at you, you don't have precise enough attack angles when using WASD to attack, the mouse lets you precisely target specific areas around your character. But, the option is there if anyone wants to try it for themselves (Options -> Controls tab -> Advanced Settings -> Attack in the direction of the camera).

Haha, sneaky sneaky dev :p

I've updated the post to reflect the IP block policy. We are firm on the EAST server, so everyone who wish to play with us please create(or recreate) a character on that server and please don't forget to post your in game name here!

Additional keys are sent.

I had the client downloaded and finally gave it a go last night but both the servers were down :(

How's everyone else getting on ingame? I know a few of you have been playing it

There was a 3-hour maintenance session noted on their main page scheduled to begin about 22 minutes before you post. So you just picked the wrong time to try to play is all.

First Impressions: Awesome.

However, yes the combat isn't your typical fighting, however it's not hard either. I picked the girl with the shield, they talk about hard to control. I literally run around right clicking, left clicking and hitting E then right click. I run out of stamina but Im usually behind the monster and not getting hit anyways.

I find the game quite easy at the early levels. The first set of battles give you 60 minutes to complete, the groups I was in would do them in less than 10 minutes (Unless we lagged out).

What is fun to do, is have monsters kill each other, I had a boss destroy one of it's own guards. The boss wound up to hit, I ran past with a guard chasing me and the boss smoked the guard.

All in all though, Im hooked for the time being.

I agree...i wasn't expecting a whole lot when I went into this but I must admit, it's a lot of fun so far.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
