The EQ2 engine was created to be future proof way back when and was horrible because of it.

It was so bad that they made ForgeLight

Games that use ForgeLight: PS2, EQ Next, H1Z1, EQ Next Landmark

Where did you see that it was based off of the EQ2 engine?

This was from a few pages back but it bears repeating: When they made the EQ2 engine, their theoretical max settings machine was a single core pentium running at like 6GHz because multicore and hyperthreading was a novelty at the time. EQ2 has a horrible poo poo engine because it's completely CPU bound because the magic turbo single core processor never happened.

From what I've seen on Planetside 2, the engine is not great but it is by no means EQ2 bad.

Someone has to run the show at base, there's really no disputing that. And it's good that people have self-appointed. My only point is that if you can't relax and repeatedly coach confused goons through getting geared up, maybe don't self-appoint. Gooncamp is confusing to new people, and I can't count the number of times I've heard "Come to the guy with his hands up," only to look around and see four or five different people running around with their hands up. Protip: that's confusing to new people, so don't get irritated when they have no clue what you're talking about. Most of us have learned names/voices by now, but newcomers haven't, so chill out and stop threatening to shoot people because they can't read your mind or whatever. Also, fill up your own water bottles and cook your own rabbit meat.

I agree, and you make a good point. It's a reason why I spend so much time away from base though, bringing people out to PVP and scavenging/scouting for bases, and teaching people to be self-sufficient instead of overcrowding our camp.

To me we could be more productive encouraging goons to go out in raiding parties looking for hostile camps, rather than so many people crowding the base. People sitting in the base unsure of what to do, or not doing anything, unless they're building something or actively foraging are just draining resources, imo.

Honestly once they fix loot stuff self-sufficiency shouldn't be that hard. Metal Shards are a big bottleneck right now to getting spears and makeshift axes, and once those are accessible we can pretty much roll out and keep the peace with primitive weapons if necessary.

It isn't the exact same engine as EQ2, but is suffers from some of the same problems. The engine is still very CPU dependent because it doesn't off load any lighting or shadows to the GPU.

It may not be a direct descendant, but it shares enough quirks with the EQ2, and even the EQ1/PS1 engine where it is clear they are related.

After tonight's Assault On Gooncamp, it seems like it might be a good idea to make a couple of alts that can be fitted out for combat and left either in-base or at some nearby rendevous point. Getting ambushed and losing most of the armed crew and then everyone having to run back was pretty chaotic.

It's not the same engine at all. Forgelight was based on the (now dead) FreeRealms and Clone Wars Adventures games.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

Raiders came back when only two of us were active at base. They ended up busting down a few doors before we got things under control, mainly thanks to the timely arrival of Maniak and Akumos. They're definitely waiting for us all to leave before they come to try and break in.

I've played for a short while but found that I can't seem to win Melee fights, even though on my screen it shows that I've hit some one at least two dozen times, they seem to beat me down with a mere five hits or so.

That's pretty much inevitable I think. Just like in PS2 there's no shortage of poopsockers/people in different time zones to undo all of your hard work while you sleep.

How high can you build? I'm hoping you can construct a nice, tall tower surrounded by barbed wire, pungee sticks and land mines with a line of multiple doors serving as an entrance.

You can't build that high and there are a lot of restrictions on where you can place stuff. However, rabbit traps ignore most restrictions and aren't destructible, so we're using those to try to set up some chokepoints in base. It's a real pisser to set up so many loving traps, though, and they fall out of alignment really easily.
