Re: What are you playing right now?
I look forward to sinking you all; since the Beta, I am off NDA and can now talk about how the game plays. Though not about Alpha.

And I just took down two Kawachii (Tier 3 BB), a Wickes (Tier 3 DD), and a Saint Louis (Tier 3 armored cruiser) in the same match with a Sampson (Tier 2 DD), and lived to tell. 2406 XP on a non-boosted match.

You're welcome to sink me.  If you see me, it's a fairly foregone conclusion.

I prefer fighter-spec carriers nowadays.  It's fun clowning enemy air wings.  No easier way to wholly neutralize two or three ships with little effort.

Watch the progress bar as World of Worships downloads  :pimp:

This.  Thank God, finally.

I can only hope.

I don't have an invite code, or knowledge of where to get one.
So, all I can do is wait to see if I get picked.

Yeah, that's kinda what I did.
Hinted at it when I said that all I can do is wait.

The invite code is supposed to make you get chosen faster, or something.

God in his heaven, but all these new people. If you see a destroyer charge you and then suddenly swerve, he's launching torps and you had better dodge.

Hoi.

Leaderoforcs (that's me!)
I know NGTM_1R is.
SpardaSon21 also.
Aesaar is going to try it out if he gets in.
The_E likewise.
Possibly Battuta.

Currently clowning air wings in my fighter spec Independence.

I've also applied to the closed beta, although who knows if I'll actually find time for it even if I get in.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
Finally started to play Crysis after owning it for years. Annoyingly need to play on Delta difficulty in order to hear the enemies actually speak in their native language (korean), but despite that progressing pretty good.  I understand how having them speak a foreign language would make the game "harder" but disagree that it should be tied to a difficulty setting. Someone seeking immersion should be able to play on easy and still hear the korean

Re: What are you playing right now?
You can fart around in the .ini files or enter console commands to make them speak korean on any difficulty.  Google tweakguides crysis.  But honestly I found not much difference in the difficulty levels. 
I like to stare at the sun.

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
Well I usually play on hard for any game, so trying delta wasn't too much of a bother but good to know, thanks.

Play LTTP.
It's amaze balls.


What does this wings update do then?  :)

Basically allows players to group and the money rewards are shared. Sounds small, I guess, but the social interface was...well, basically non-existent at release.

-> Destroyer match.
-> No torp hits.
-> Kill a carrier and a cruiser with gunfire.

High-tier USN DDs are weird.

Currently playing There Came an Echo.

The voice recognition is really good with this game...

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
I'm also playing War of the Human Tanks. This game is an exercise Brinkmanship.
None of the units on the field can take more than one hit from an attack.

I sure couldn't do that with my mid low tier IJN DDs, maybe once every a planetary alignment are my deck guns actually on target.  Otherwise they while away their time traversing at the speed of meh.  Good thing IJN DDs are good stealthy torpedo platforms cause I love the "Torps OP pleez nerf "QQ.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I played a couple games as the T2 Japanese destroyer last night.  First time I'd played the Japanese tree.

Four kills and 11 torpedo hits.  Yep.
