ShadowBane Ranting

[Twystyd]

I'm quite straight and have a fiance and some friends.

Playing chess or butt darts with your drill instructor does not count. Either does countless hours of keyboard molesting about the mathematical reasoning or theory of faulty graphics on the forums.

Also I doubt the amount of time that I've spent learning math (especially outside the classroom) exceeds the amount of time you've spent on beta.

I do not think anyone cares but gratz; if that's what your looking for. BTW I forgot to say I have a 15" penis.

Furthermore you were the first to interject your opinion. If you don't want there to be any debate or need to justify opinions then you have 2 choices: don't say anything, or be a nazi and ban me from the site.

If I don't want there to be a debate there wont be. I care little to ban someone from a board for being annoying and actually find you pretty humorous. Sorry ULO, I care little to argue with you because you're ability holds little weight in the realm of gaming. I'm sure that leveling a to0n to 15 over the span of a few months in DAoC carries a lot of weight in your gaming community bro but not here.

Speaking of which love the "...it's because they are", totally void of logical support and gives n explanation whatsoever as to what flaw you see in my reasoning. Everyone has knowledge in areas someone else doesn't so don't hate. I'de give my response in less intilllectual sounding and more !_337 7R0!_!_ manor but the last time I did that people thought I got too personal or went to far or whatever.

Kind of reminds me of your self proclaimed and exaggerated mathematical sk33lz. The core problem lays in the art work. While playing DAoC, AC2 and SB the models of SB were the least desirable. Add to that it looks like Wolfpack took a shit in computer language and came out with the programing for Shadowbane and you have the product. I would have made my response a little more like yours, or intellectual; but I don't want to sound like the jackass. Also I need you to understand it.

BTW the ingame graphics of SB I've seen didn't look like shit to me, esp the recent ones.

That's great! Want some cake?

Zeris, agreed. The enjoyable aspect of Shadowbane was the ever changing world in game. I think a lot of folks will be able to over look graphics for this game. I really wish they would streamline the interface as well, but you'll get used to it.

[Caly]

Crazy people.

Well SB looks good to me I don't really care I would rather play UO than DAoC so graphics in MMORPG's to me doesn't matter at all. Hell I play SB with my sound off even. The crashes and bugs of those sorts are considerably less now. Hey all of you in beta give me a tell you can join us this up coming wipe. Calixto is my name ingame. We have a city every build with others DDH and LoTD and some others will be joining us this round at least thats plans of now.

Game play is fun thats what matters to me. Stupid people make stupid ass guesses on games. IE the UI clunky only to people that don't know how to change it and get new UI which I use now from a player who made his own which you can do so come release there will be 50 million different UI's you can dl that fit what you like. Mine is nice all clear and small just like I like it. I have graphics turned way down because I want to run fast so I can PK easyer. Yes beta graphics suck because well they have them that way for purpose. If you like PvP having actual reasons to fight.

You don't want to see your city that you built that cost you Millions of Gold and a beacon of your guilds power destroyed. This isn't DAoC where you run around sacking forts that never get destroyed for some petty points and a relic. This is your city your house your guild your shops your dignity is destroyed smashed and humiliated by another guild.

What more could you ask for if you actually like PvP and MMORPG's

Thats just my piece o the cake not a flame or anything.

You see most people that complain about the game havent spent but a week playing never get into the guild politics PvP and dont know how to change things. IE the big group of new beta testers post these same complaints on Beta forums and they all get answered because they just post without knowing what they are talking about.

[Twystyd]

SB has improved a lot Caly. There is little doubt in anyone's mind that it will be the best guild vs. guild PvP going. That is what the game was designed for and should carry out.

[Caly]

Hey if you have members that have accounts and dont want to play...Shit I got tons of HEL members dieing to get in Hook it up

LOL

oh yea back to the point. I have no clue on Sb or these other MMORPG's cause DOAC has captivated my life for a year now. But ill go where my friends go and where my family goes

[Twystyd]

This is official. Up till now, we have strictly respected the NDA. Now we are free to discuss the game, finally.

So, what do you think? Is SB really better than Pong?


02/19 - Shadowbane Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Lifted!
Shadowbane fans around the world rejoice! En-Tranz Entertainment and Ubi-Soft are pleased to announce that as of today, the Shadowbane beta test NDA has been lifted. Shadowbane is a Massively multiplayer online game, focusing on player controlled game mechanics like city building and guild warfare. After an extensive beta test, both En-Tranz and Ubi-Soft are working towards launch in their respective regions (Asia and North America).

The Shadowbane NDA prohibited testers from releasing any information about the product, including screenshots, skill descriptions, and unauthorized accounts of guild warfare. The NDA lift comes as both regions ramp up beta participation, with En-Tranz adding 30,000 new testers to the Asia-Pacific servers in the coming weeks, and Ubi-soft adding an additional 20,000 users to the North American beta test.

[Phineas]

To compare this to pong, is an insult to the institution that is pong.

[Mosthula]

[Rhuac]

I'm relatively new to the guild, hell I'm not really even in I suppose, but I just wanted to say I like ULO already.

[Twystyd]

Yea, hes not the sharpest to0l- I think Madness said it best "either graphics suck or they don't."

Beta forums are up Here

[Yuengling]

Hell I still play UO. Do you think I care about graphics?
As long as SB has decent pvp........

[Alandrian]

Well I just got accepted so you can add me to the list =P. Im glad too ive been way too bord lately. once i get in ill give people a tell.

[Caly]

Hey you guys need to make chars on the carnage server and HEL will help you all out school you in the ways of the game we are about to put up a city there and you will all be welome to join us but you will be under HEL not BWC. That really doesnt matter since its only beta though. Send me a private message and I will tell you our Private IRC room.

[wolfguard]
