When will we get rid of the archaic remnant of the railroad age and agree about what time it is?

It's beer o'clock at least somewhere. I think we can all agree to that.

Snort... I've been waiting for a long time for the big one to happen, so I can laugh as parts of California sinks beneath the sea.

It appears you have reincarnated Bill Hicks.

So, I have an older Core2 Duo E8400 (3 GHz) with 4 GB of low-latency RAM and a NVidia GTX 260. My guess is that this 5-year old system is going to be a bit underpowered for Pathfinder, but I've seen some people posting that they're running around in Alpha at 25-30 FPS on systems that appear to have weaker computing and graphical power than mine. I'm planning to upgrade shortly, but I might sell/give this system to a friend to play on. Does anyone in Alpha have a system with similar capabilities and, if so, can you tell me how it runs the PFO Alpha build?

Okay, I got my old PC fired up and first off the details, it's actually a good step below your system, though the same video card.

Pentium 4 3.6ghz
2gb RAM
HDD powered by a little mouse on a tread mill

It's connected to my TV so I put it into 720p (I think it was 1680x720?)
Set the video card to max performance and PFO to fastest graphics.

Loading was slow (probably I should feed the little mouse) but once loaded it was quite smooth. In town the frame rate was around 16fps, in the wilderness it was 35-45fps. Even at low FPS it is quite smooth which supprised me and the frame rate rarely varied more that +/- 3fps. At higher frame rates the variation was closer to +/- 6fps.

I'd suggest that the video card is suitable though certainally on the minimum end of the scale. The HDD in that system was salvaged from a PC much older making it possible 10 years old now and without doubt is the worst component.

I'd suggest that your system would be able to run it and your components are a good step above what I tested it on, the concern may be when there are many people in the same area, like in town, it may cause your system to bog down making combat dificult.

I hope this is helpful.

It's saying I don't have permission and need to contact my administrator. I am the administrator. I hate it when computers question authority.

Hi everyone

I've finally had time to get my rant on again this time a bit about PvP and my first attempt at crafting.

You can find the thread here.

They are rewarding people who paid up $1000+ to help with the development of the game by allowing them to invite some friends. I'm extremely appreciative of the people who backed at this level because they contributed in such a massive way. With reasonable confidence I'd suggest GW are too.

Yeah, it was my first with such a large group of gamers for this game, talking, insulting Golgotha, laughing and all the rest. I think we were up around 30 or so at one point.

Doubt we will have as big a crowd on Saturday but anyone who wants to pop in can do so. No secrets given away, except maybe my cunning plan to put a huge crimp into Golgotha's Tower War plans. ***

*** Kabal wants it known that Bunibuni is acting totally on his own with his "cunning plan" and we deny all knowledge of his activities as well as all responsibility. Unless, of course, it works out brilliantly, then we were totally behind it all the time.

I do love a good Black Adder reference.

If we hosted another one this Saturday at 10 AM eastern [which is GMT-4], could you international folks make that one? That would be, what? 2 PM Germany and 6 PM TAI time?

Also give folks in the US who work at night a chance to talk with a real live Kabal person! :-)

TAI time! I LOLed. The bulk of us are in east coast Australia AEST(or AEDT in summer) which is GMT+10. But I might take it to parliament to change it to TAI time because I like it better now.

Hi everyone, since I won the best prize on offer this decade, I've been writing my impressions down for my friends and anyone else who cares to read. It is my experience as seen through my eyes and may be technically deficient in areas.

Also I tried to get a twitch feed going but unfortunately my upload bandwidth is not good enough. Sorry everyone, I know how much I valued the twitch feeds before I got into alpha and wanted to give back.

You can find my blog on Terra Australis Incognito website here.

I hope you find it interesting, I've never blogged or written anything like this before, you've been warned.

The fundamental problem is that ideascale doesn't rank ideas according to the amount of interest but by positive votes. If an idea receives 1000 negative votes and 1001 positive votes, without question it is a more important issue than one that receives 100 positive and 5 negative because there are 2001 members of the community engaged in the topic as opposed to 105. Ideascale thinks the opposite. This is not social media, this is crowd forging and a negative is as important as a positive.

This is essentially a forum for developers and a large number of votes is a better gauge of interest than the sum of positive and negative votes.

Bonny was spending a lot of her time hosting the raffle and reading/responding to twitch viewers. There are probably better views of the action in the twitch libraries of other people involved.

Glad to hear you got it up and running Kemedo.

I got a few hours in today and I died A LOT. There didn't seem to be many people around so I just plugged away by myself.

I am so impressed by what the GW team have done, I found I was able to get around with out the map because the terrain was unique enough. I cranked my video card up to maximum visual quality and it was as smooth as.

I feel extremely appreciative of GW for the chance to play in alpha and a little undeserving because of the huge outlay that the alphas committed to get access.

Read? How can you read and watch the stream at the same time?
