Correction, the game has a SAM truck. The tonk was never seen from again after being sold :)

Also did they ever fix the sam truck, or do the missles still fly out from it and just skitter around the air before exploding randomly ?

As i understand there has been an improvement. The missiles fly straight now, just not to the target, but to a random spot on the horizon. Then the target blows up.

The funny thing here is it means there is a disconnect between the missile and the damaging element. Like they calculate whether the target should take damage or not regardless of where the missile actually ends up.

Oh my god, they made Eve: Online ;)

Seriously, when I saw that gif/video, I had to think of Eve, where the beams and bullets and rockets and whatever are simply effects while the server rolls some dice in the background.

Okay, then anything but missiles (I mostly played Gallente, I think I never fired a missile in Eve in my life)

A design decision they probably deeply regret as it increases the amount of objects to keep track of so much. I believe they did go from 'launch 8 missiles' to 'launch an object representing 8 missiles' already.

Deciding to resolve the result of a missile attack immediately on launch and just play a canned graphics effect to show its flight would not be a bad idea. But I'm sure fidelity demands a finely detailed missile with moving control surfaces, a fuel usage system and thrust calculations.

Missiles are coalesced into one big missile if you fire a volley in the same tick, iirc. And yes, CCP made the same mistake multiple times with weapon systems that created too many interactable objects. See also: drones, with some ships able to launch 25 of them in the past. And mines. Remember mines? Oh god the mines…

You clearly don't understand game development


:reddit: Impossible! According to this subreddit, delays are a 100% sign of mismanagement!
:monocle: 1 delay is not, 47 delays start to be a sign of mismanagement.

:reddit: Some of us pledged for the game they promised to release in 2014, not for the dream to be released in what, 4 or 5 years from now? Since I am a patient man I do not care, I just stopped following the development, I will get back whenever it is ready.
:shepspends: They polled us to ask if we wanted them to keep going. And we voted overwhelmingly yes. Anyone who's actually mad about it, especially still mad about it, should have refunded. That original vision was murdered and replaced with something "bigger" the same year it was born.
:reddit: Wasn't the entire refund system an entire convoluted mess involving charges backs for a long time?
:shepspends: Probably. I didn't really pay attention to it because my excitement only grew with the project. That being said, if I'd been as mad as some of those posters seemed to be, I wouldn't hesitate to initiate a chargeback.

SH4: The Room is probably what you're thinking of. Which funny enough was actually not really a silent hill game but more its own original horror title that got SH license slapped on for marketing reasons, kinda doki doki panic situation.

(I guess I should be like "WRONG IT WAS SILENT HILL" ;) )

Firm believer that muscles conquers all
Set to the tune of ‘Toss a coin to your Witcher’

When a humble Ben
Graced a ride along
With Chris of Roberts
Along came this song

From when the Savior fought
A silver tongued Shart
His army of Goons
At his hooves they did revel

They came after me
With masterful deceit
Broke down my website
And kicked in my fetish

While the Shart’s tongue
Minced our tender ears
And so cried the Savior
He can’t be beat

Toss a coin to your Savior
O’ valley of PC
O’ valley of PC
O’

Toss a coin to your Savior
O’ valley of PC

At the edge of the ‘verse
Fight the mighty Goons
That bashes and breaks you
And brings you to mourn

He was strangled by every Mocap
Redid each green pixel
High up in his mansion
From whence the backers bought

He wiped out their savings
Got a kick out of it
He’s a friend of money
So give him the rest

That’s my epic tale
Our Savior prevailed
Defeated the Villian
Now buy an Idris

Toss a coin to your Savior
O’ valley of PC
O’ valley of PC
O’

Toss a coin to your Savior
He’s a friend of money

Toss a coin to your Savior
O’ valley of PC
O’ valley of PC
O’
