Profile for Bastiat

Well hello again everyone. I would pay for server membership if I could get the game working on Linux. Hell, I might even be pressed to install Windows (dual boot) if I knew I could play Dawntide.
LordWiese, I […]

“Oh , thought it would be f2p , thats why I played the beta , well there goes this game lol WoW I am back !”
Good riddance.
“:( Game why u no f2p?”
Because people need to earn a living. Grow up.

You forget that I lean towards your side of the debate, check my earlier posts. I’m just saying that given:
1) The developers have said that they will make sure appropriate measures are in place to make being an […]

I don’t understand this development team. The main reason people shop at their local bookstore instead of Barnes & Noble is for service and responsiveness to customers. This team should be more sensitive to […]

Esquire, it seems every other one of your posts invokes your wife’s gaming preferences and how it won’t gel with Dawntide’s pvp mechanics. After reading many of these posts, I have come to the point where I must […]

Based on what the developer said, I am totally comfortable with whatever the result may be.

For the settlement I start on the new map, I am definitely going to follow the layout of a medieval mercantile bastion or castle town. The cornerstone of the settlement will be a large market square with one side […]

SWG creature taming and biological engineering was a masterpiece.

GMPathy, I just want to submit this one concern I have, and that is that the development team doesn’t seem very serious about PR efforts. Their initial December wipe update said that they would post a news update […]

Good ideas Grimnir.

Sounds cool, keep in mind though that the world map may be totally overhauled when beta is re-opened.

No ranking system.

I came here from SWG as well. This game has serious potential to be a great sandbox game with a lot of longevity.

I agree with what you say, Agrinja. I hope that the “alignment” dynamic GMPathy talks about is actually quite… dynamic. Like you say, it should be a holistic look at your actions towards every faction and give […]

“It is possible for a player to be a PK, and also a huge trader without impacting too heavily on their alignment. As an example a player kills another for fun and takes an alignment hit of -10 points. They loot […]

One thing I fear, GMPathy, is that I don’t want trade relations to be too dependent on NPC activity. I think NPCs should offer a basic economic service in NPC cities, but otherwise, the economic centers should be […]

Welcome to Dawntide.

Arrogant mode: As in, there are few people like me, people who want to be productive and build communities and develop relationships, but many people who just want to destroy everything I do. There’s just too […]

I agree with Glossen. I don’t think game developers realize that there are too many people – internet tough guys who are mal-adjusted immature people – who will enter this sandbox and not play by the rules. Not […]

^ Same, but people want to do everything these days. It may be that the way the skill system is finalized, you will pretty much need to have a variety of characters to get anything done. I hope that’s not the case.
