i played PT for about 2 months a while back, it\'s deffinatly another Diablo2 in development. The PT devs focus more on the asian servers more than any others. And its full of arses and scammers, yepp deffinatly reminds me of D2. I refuse to play it any more because its kinda depressing after a while. Not worth my time any more.

The current build of MB in the CS engine does create a global lag. Which im sure they have/are solving for CB. But the transfer between client and server is pretty small, so having broadband doesnt make but a slight difference. I just did a bit of high-low res testing and i get the same results in the 4 times i tried every res. Of course my numbers are slightly different for each time i tried the same res it still came out the same. High Res actually preformed better than low res. i tend to get about 10-20fps (if not more) for every res higher than the last.

I believe they released a new stable version of the CS engine not too long ago. Not sure what all they fixed as i dont keep up with CS as much as i do PS.

Kran metabolism is very complex, they are used to eat sand of various and precious minerals that are digested in their stomach thanks to strong acids. They can also eat food full of mineral salts like seaweed and some crystals created in their kitchen, similar to chemical laboratories.


Well as you can see crystals appear to be easily digested by Krans, so i dont think you would only have to eat 1 crystal a month, this might apply for a dwarf XD XD XD. (of course it would probably take years to digest inside any other races)

Also the last part of that about the crystals made in their kitchens and chemical labratories makes it  sound like Krans have a crack problem. ><  haha just my 2 cents.

Yep seems to be a big Rock thing goin on. ROFLMAO
Im sure we will get some light shed on the story once the game progresses a bit ^^

For starters, you can try telling us if you created your character in the char creation.

If you havnt gone to the character creation screen built your character and then registered the username/password on this screen then you cant expect to log in. You CAN NOT log in an account that doesnt exist.

You said you havnt played yet so i figure this is your problem.

1) Choose character creation tab
2) set your character attributes
3) when it asks for account name password after step 1 and 2, simply put in desired Account name/Password
4) numbers and other characters not part of the alphabet are rejected
5)Dont make things harder than they have to be.

(this post i believe should be located somewhere else besides general also)

Either he means 30.00 or hes running a PC with the new gigabyte motherboard 3 gigs of ddr ram and the ati readeon 9800 xt, of course i havnt tried PS on these specs but i got a friend with them, Mabey ill see what fps i can get from an over clocked, water cooled top of the line box. Should be quite interesting indeed.

I agree completly, i get less lag from extracting the files also but you have to deal with the fence texure being corrupted in the extraction. You can also configure the openGL.cfg file to best performance with your specs, but you should know a bit about what your changing and what it does before you go and start making adjustments.

Mabey we will get lucky and get a explanation of why the FPS tends to rise with high res. I would like to better understand how a higher res can actually make it speed up. Ill try and do a bit of research on this and post my results. (If Any)

Yes, but why take up more space than needed, and also it is alot easier to switch to your main/secondary chars if you only have to go back to a character selection screen instead of logging back into the server. Having multiple chars on 1 account is more efficiant than multiple accounts.

i dont believe it being zipped has a whole lot to do with your increasing fps at high res. By unzipping the textures and adjusting the location in the config file, it actually puts less strain on your proccessing, thus unzipping should increase fps a bit (but to tell you the truth with PC\'s now days really no point because you won\'t even notice the difference.

I believe i know the deal here.

At low res, the textures are actually sized up not shrunk. If you notice your screen seems smaller at low res (duh) but the textures actually tend to get bigger. This could be what is causing low fps, at low res. less adjusting means more proccessing ^^

Edit: again im no expert nor moderate in this field  :P

even if you do get a new IP there is a similarity in the adress that is from your ISP. Server firewalls have the ability to block all instances of a certain IP. Not to say that you might not ever be able to log back into the server but any IP that has a consistant veriable can be blocked as soon as it is recognized as the same users IP.

Generally if the Dev\'s/ GM\'s have a problem with you they restict your account and kick/ban any related IP\'s coming from your location. Im hoping the Dev\'s will add a e-mail option in accounts to prevent an excessive amount of registering 20 accounts to the same user. After all there is sure to be multiple characters per account, and only reason i can see to have 2+ accounts is if your on multiple computers running a network and/or your character slots are full.

ok enough babling and side tracking, I think i could be a bit irritated about losing my char name, but i have about 20 names in mind so it doesnt matter much. Just remember to be quick ^^.

no telling here, usually at low res you get higher frames due to less rendering. But this is completly backwards. Im thinking that your comp tends to put more effort into the program due to a higher res. But Im no expert nor moderate in knowledge of this field.

If someone would please attemp the same as Krammy here and post results/specs we can see if this is only effecting Krammy or if its global.

i started relocating crystals everywhere yesterday ^^

lol come back on and most are snagged, no problem because i placed them in obvious easy to see (but a small difficulty to reach) places. If you find em feel free to take em, not like i need them. I think i placed around over 150 count combined in rubies and emerlads around the town and in the dungeon. I was on about 20 mins ago and i saw there were still around a good 50 count left ^^.

*Relocating crystals is fun.*
(/me picks up a emerald and places it in a tree) *There you go little guy, enjoy your new home*

I havnt stopped to read ALL the posts but most of them. And i find that this is more of a \"What is Morally Correct in the Eyes of the World\" discussion. People define morals based on what they are taught to think is right and wrong or what they have aquired from experiance. Most people base morals on religion while others base it on independent studies. Basically what is RIGHT and what is Wrong? Only you can decide what is morally acceptable and what isn\'t.

I agree murder is wrong, only because it causes harm to another person. But screaming at the top of your lungs telling someone to Die is OK. Your not causing harm to anyone, just expressing yourself verbally. Everyone is entitled to oppinions and free expression. This applies to television as well. If the majority didn\'t want it, it wouldn\'t be there. Therefore the shows mentioned starting this thread are not hurting anyone, only a way to express intrest in the views of the people.

Why watch Soap Opras when you can come to the PS board and find a bit of Drama here and there ^^.
