Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
Hi. You've got the idea. that is why I quit playing. I had a pretty nifty soundpack going there too that I no longer support because I can't bother playing it.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
Oh yeah, I remember working on that soundpack with you. Good times. Anyway, they got a lot of stuff going for it. A nice codebase, a pretty huge world, and at one point there were some really cool events which developed the story (the wormhole aliens anyone?). The problem is they're not running it very well. For those who haven't played miriani but tried Alter aeon, imagine getting to a high level, learning a lot of spells, and then someone would come along, ruin your day and you'd literally have to start from square 1, which if you didn't have money wouldn't even be possible.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
I don't actually think the devs on that mud care either way. That's the impression I got before I left the game. Well I half left half got barred because I expressed real displeasure at having my assets stolen so early on in the game by some little upstart who new I didn't have the ability to fight back. Rather pointless really.

I have heard as much, still if their player base is indeed dropping maybe they would considder changing their minds.

To be honest lori, opt in pvp would mean they don't need! to deal with anyone. that way anyone who wants! to fight other people could do so and as far as the rest of us are concerned just get the heck on with it. I've no problem with people blowing 7 shades out of each other in games so long as everyone agrees first and that it doesn't affect what I, as a solo player am doing.

Frankly, I've heard more people who like darren say they used! to play miriani but were pvp'd to death, or like me reffuse to play such a game for that reason.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase

Miriani is for most designed with a roleplay environment in mind, you have to good side, and teh bad side, and the bad side doesn't have to just be aliens it can be people from your or the other alliences as well, and if you start restricting things like that in a roleplay environment, you take away from it, so you can say they need to do this, as much as you won't, but if its going to take away from the feel, from teh roleplay, the good verses bad element, they won't do it, its just that simple.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
Well James, call it roleplay or whatever you want, --- -though to me roleplay doesn't mean beating the snot out of whoever you wish without fear or favor, which is rpetty much what happens on miriani by all accounts. All i can say is I'm dam sorry such a great sounding game is so badly spoilt, and obviously I'm not the only person that thinks this. That's exactly why i suggest opt in instead, so that those who wish pvp, or roleplay if you prefer can do that, and those who do not cannot, it's about choice, which obviously the miriani admins don't care about in this matter. it's just a shame though, sinse nearly every space game takes this line, which is exactly why core exiles is so unique.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
The challenge withopt-in PVP on a role-play enforced game is that inevitably you will have people who say whatever they want and antagonize the pvp players, with the idea that nothing can be done to retalliate against them. Of course Ihave seen other rp-enforced games who manage opt-in PVP in such a way, and those who antagonize will quickly find themselves set to PVP. Of course, this actually requires some work to keep the game atmosphere going well, and I just never got the impression that those with the ability to create change gave a crap about it.

Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase
There is a difference between realism and griefing. While there are pirates in space-themed novels who steal, loot, and plunder repeatedly, it doesn't mean that you should continue to do it once someone is up and knock them down again. If I want that kind of realism, I'll go live real life. There's realism for the sake of game balance, and then there is realism that can stifle. It cracks me up when fantasy themed games try to go too far to make things realistic and go so overboard. Casting magic missile in the darkness isn't necessary a point to realism either, and yet it's featured in most of those types of games. When it's stifling and it's far more work, then it becomes far less fun for me. I'd be fine with space pirates if people actually roleplayed consistently and it was more than just blowing up ships just because they don't like something you said on chatter, or they are OOCly having a bad day. Pirates could commandeer ships, screw around with trade prices and values, have effects on planets. All of these things are things that could be roleplayed and with a little host help, could come off quite well. There could be an opportunity to form a resistance group, to react to what the pirates are doing. This is cause and effect. This is build-up. This is role play. There are some games where notorious villains stop and help out newbies in their own way. Why? Because they understood that other players were the lifeblood of a mud. They could have cut them down, been mean and hateful, but they chose not to and instead chose to lend a hand. Then later, they chose to do some awesome roleplay with that player once they'd gotten established and start conflict. Blowing up ships, consistently griefing, and holding someone for hours to stun and strand them takes no imagination. There is no build-up, no conflict, it's just someone waving their e-genitals around and proclaiming that theirs is bigger while hiding behind the 'but it's my character and that's how I roleplay!' facade. But since nothing has been done about it and it won't likely change, it's just more fuel to feed the beast. Warmly, Meka, who apparently has a very strong opinion on this issue. - Original Message - From: James Howard coldshadow...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 8:45 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] miriani playerbase Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. while at the same time, I agree, there should be limits, I also think the hosts, want a high realism effect. when you consider real life, you don't get alot of times to choose if you want to be attacked and things stolen from you, this is the similar effect they're trying to put in game.

[Audyssey] Dead or Alive first impressions
Hi all. Pasted from the audio games forum. This game is available for the ps3... and is a mainstream fighting game. Well, the game's out. First impressions so far? The game is fantastic. The music is good, perhaps not as good as older games, but good nonetheless. Sounds are great as well, and the voices in Japanese are good, as usual superior to the ones in English which is this time at least passable. The punches and kicks sound like something straight out of a kung fu movie, which is great. The biggest factor of course? The gameplay. Combos are easy to perform, and the timing is the most lenient I have ever seen in a fighting game. As long as you press the sequence reasonable close together, the combo will come out. There are no fireball type special moves, but there are special throws and moves for caracters, but they amount to much easier commands, usually single directions with button presses or double directions. No quarter circles, dragon punch motions or any other 2d style commands. There is a countering system, which is useful for getting out of combos. However, as blind people, this requires some guesswork. Counters are done by pressing certain directions and the block button. Up and back plus block for high attacks, back puls guard for mid punches, forward plus block for mid kicks, and down-back plus block for the low attacks. But the thing is... there are very few ways to tell what the attacks are. However, countering can be done more effectively against an opponent. The best way to do is to learn by memorization what moves hit hig mid and low. You cna counter out of a block, so you can block an opponent's oncoming string them counter an attack. But the fact that the countering system is hard is not a downer. If you strategize right, counters aren't even necessary. The stages are all awesome, and are very important to the gameplay. There are areas called danger zones, which are interactive parts of the environment. For example, in the scramble zone... there is a ledge you can knock your opponent off of. I explained the cliffhanger earlier in the topic, so if you don't know what that is look back please. In any case, if it's successful, your opponent will fall off a ledge and will be ploughed into by an out of control car. However, cliffhangers only appear in two stages. Another example, if you knock your opponent into a certain area in the war zone stage, your opponent will be hit by an rpg grenade. All of these things cause damage, some more than others. But stage interaction isn't limitted to just these environmental hazards. you can knock your opponents off cliffs, over tables, into columns and pillars and generators. It's amazing stuff! And everything breaks, blows up, or does both. lol The story mode, as I've said, is an MK style affair with cutseens and fights. I'm going to stop there because I haven't played the game that much yet, so those are all the impressions I got. Here are two samples. One of gameplay just vs the cpu, and another one of the first ten minutes or so of story mode. I will tell you... the AI in this game is not nice! For those who don't play online, if you're looking for a challenging game to beat.. this is it.

Re: [Audyssey] Dead or Alive first impressions
Two questions. Do you know how to switch the voices to english? Is it as easy as street fighter x tekken? And second, is there a difficulty on the AI? This does sound fun, especially the destructible environments. Shame there aren't any giant flashy super moves dependant on a gauge or anything like that, but I did like Dead or Alive 4 when I had it for the XBox360 and this sounds like a vast improvement. I'm willing to at least try playing anything with a fully accessible story mode. -- From: Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 10:16 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org; brandonsl...@freelists.org Subject: [Audyssey] Dead or Alive first impressions Hi all. Pasted from the audio games forum. This game is available for the ps3... and is a mainstream fighting game. Well, the game's out. First impressions so far? The game is fantastic. The music is good, perhaps not as good as older games, but good nonetheless. Sounds are great as well, and the voices in Japanese are good, as usual superior to the ones in English which is this time at least passable. The punches and kicks sound like something straight out of a kung fu movie, which is great. The biggest factor of course? The gameplay. Combos are easy to perform, and the timing is the most lenient I have ever seen in a fighting game. As long as you press the sequence reasonable close together, the combo will come out. There are no fireball type special moves, but there are special throws and moves for caracters, but they amount to much easier commands, usually single directions with button presses or double directions. No quarter circles, dragon punch motions or any other 2d style commands. There is a countering system, which is useful for getting out of combos. However, as blind people, this requires some guesswork. Counters are done by pressing certain directions and the block button. Up and back plus block for high attacks, back puls guard for mid punches, forward plus block for mid kicks, and down-back plus block for the low attacks. But the thing is... there are very few ways to tell what the attacks are. However, countering can be done more effectively against an opponent. The best way to do is to learn by memorization what moves hit hig mid and low. You cna counter out of a block, so you can block an opponent's oncoming string them counter an attack. But the fact that the countering system is hard is not a downer. If you strategize right, counters aren't even necessary. The stages are all awesome, and are very important to the gameplay. There are areas called danger zones, which are interactive parts of the environment. For example, in the scramble zone... there is a ledge you can knock your opponent off of. I explained the cliffhanger earlier in the topic, so if you don't know what that is look back please. In any case, if it's successful, your opponent will fall off a ledge and will be ploughed into by an out of control car. However, cliffhangers only appear in two stages. Another example, if you knock your opponent into a certain area in the war zone stage, your opponent will be hit by an rpg grenade. All of these things cause damage, some more than others. But stage interaction isn't limitted to just these environmental hazards. you can knock your opponents off cliffs, over tables, into columns and pillars and generators. It's amazing stuff! And everything breaks, blows up, or does both. lol The story mode, as I've said, is an MK style affair with cutseens and fights. I'm going to stop there because I haven't played the game that much yet, so those are all the impressions I got. Here are two samples. One of gameplay just vs the cpu, and another one of the first ten minutes or so of story mode. I will tell you... the AI in this game is not nice! For those who don't play online, if you're looking for a challenging game to beat.. this is it.
