Re: Fleet Starbase idea - Officer of the Watch

August 08 2012
Currently, Fleet Captains and Admirals have the ability to queue new Projects. That's a good number of people already and we've been promoting new Fleet Captains regularly. As well, we don't currently have any ranks empty in-game to create a new rank from.

Which fleet is having trouble keeping projects queued and which type of project?

So should I be fine....or can my graphics card support dx9 if it can support 11? Is it possible to change? Thanks so much for your responses guys!

I have read that they're working with Dx9 in order to be compatible with the widest number of systems and reach the widest possible fan base. But I don't know if that makes it difficult to run under high iterations of Dx. :\

ArenaNet just announced it won't support DX11 until 'later'. Only DX9 at launch.


From the album: Wall Photos
By Guild Wars 2
For those of you who have been asking about DX11 support for Guild Wars 2, our goal with GW2 has always been to provide a gorgeous fantasy world while at the same time running on a wide range of gaming PCs.

Focusing on DX9 allows us to do this, as it’s a much wider supported graphics API than DX11 is and we wanted our game to reach as many of our fans as possible.

We will be evaluating supporting DX11 post launch. ~RB2

August 08 2012
So recently I've been reading a lot of stuff about guild wars 2 having problems with directx11 support? I can't find out much from the people posting about I on the forums seeing as I'm fertile with tech. Does dx11 not work or something? I have dx11 and the first beta (the only one I did) ran perfectly fine. Ive even upgraded my CPU since then.....so what's the problem? Can any of you guys help me out here?

Fleet Starbase idea - Officer of the Watch

August 08 2012
My idea is that we create a new fleet rank in game, which will be the officer of the watch rank. Basically it's the same as a normal member, but they are trusted by leadership to manage fleet projects whenever there is an empty slot in the queue.

Sometimes there are no projects being worked on at all. This would help remedy that.

It doesn't seem to be a big deal here since you can play with any friend at any level any time and since pvp shuttles you up to level 80 anyway. Unless you are in a hurry to gear grind or whatever the endgame is...

Roleplay signups here!

Congratulations!

You have been assigned to the command of Captain Caroline Walker on the upcoming exploration mission of her Nova class science vessel, the U.S.S. Sally Ride. Walker, a renowned astrophysicist and something of a maverick, is a staunch proponent of Starfleet's mission to educate the best and brightest of the Federation. Her ships are often affectionately referred to as "floating apprenticeships" or "Academy postdoc," because she takes pains to commingle promising novices and accomplished veterans on her crew rosters, and to bring together as diverse a cohort of officers as possible. She values debate and independent thought, expecting her officers to constantly challenge her and each other. To that end, she keeps her chain of command flexible, frequently rewarding exemplary service by promoting subordinates or appointing them to positions of higher responsibility. After years of working with university-level students, she is less of a strict disciplinarian than many captains, and looks for talent rather than spotless conduct when recruiting. Her officers' off-duty exploits are their own concern, so long as their performance remains top-notch.

The question is, what sort of person has Captain Walker just offered a commission? Describe your character briefly or in detail, as you wish, but make sure to highlight four crucial points:
  • Name
  • Species
  • Rank
  • Specialization

The first three are self-explanatory. The fourth bears some discussion.

In the interest of flexibility, we will not be appointing players to permanent crew positions straight out of the gate. You can say that your character is a doctor, but not the Chief Medical Officer -- not yet, anyway. The list of specializations on your doff roster is a great place to start, but you may, if you wish, describe your character's skill set in some detail. Also keep in mind that a starship will almost always have more than one officer in each specialty aboard; another player's interest in a role doesn't mean you can't try it, too. Neither must you be confined to one role: Data is an accomplished conn officer and technician; Scotty was equally handy with the warp core and the transporter. Rest assured that our goal here is flexibility and adaptability -- your character will have career mobility as the story continues.

Everyone's invited to the big kickoff event August 18, at 2 PM EST (10 PM GMT). Star Trek: Destiny opens as the Sally Ride heads into deep space with her new crew. Attendance at moderated roleplay events is not mandatory, and we will set up the situation to encourage small pick-up scenes between players. Any results of the event that affect the entire ship will be announced here on the forum. However, if you won't be able to make it to a lot of the events for any reason, please give your character a specialty that shines outside of high-stakes standoffs. Our ship needs yeomen, technicians, bartenders and counselors, too!

Eager to get started? The Sally Ride will be spending the next couple of weeks in drydock at ESD, finishing some minor refits and taking on crew. Once you have posted your character introduction in this thread, feel free to hop on the SFRoleplay channel and hunt around for a pre-launch pickup scene. It's likely that new crew members, while moving into their quarters or exploring the ship, would run into each other and strike up a conversation.

Two side notes:
  • If you are interested in running one of our events, come up with a scenario and let us know! I personally would love for lots of people to get to play the Q.
  • I'm looking for a few particularly solid roleplayers for a secret project. If you're interested, please message me PRIVATELY so that we can discuss the details.

While this sig generator is not my fave - the Character Tool to build it is very cool..

It mimics the character creation screen and you end up with this:

Update from ArenaNet on the extended experience:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/07/guild-wars-2-interview-touches-on-mobile-app-development-and-str/

Seems the focus would be on building an "App Development Program."

Q: I was pretty excited about the announcement of the Mobile and Web Apps, from the blog post it seemed like a much more complex project than your traditional MMO Companion App. Will the Apps be ready for launch day?

A: For launch we won’t have any GW2 apps available for use for players. However, soon after launch we’ll be launching a robust app development program in conjunction with our community that should allow for the development of some truly spectacular GW2 app and website development. We’ll discuss this more post ship, right now we’re focused on making the release of the game the greatest it can be.

Here's a gallery of most of the prestige/cultural armours in the game.

I'm going for the T3 Norn Cultural Heavy armour The antlers on the helmet are so cool. They fit in with the whole Guardian "spirit warrior" vibe.


Every time I see horned helmets, I can't help but remember this Youtube video:

I'm loving the steampunk-ish vibe I'm getting from the asuran cultural armor, especially tier 3.

no Warrior love.. this makes me sad... might have to play mine a bit more than I intended..

Is the lack of Warriors a statistical quirk? Or is there something about the class STVG members don't like?

First on my list is a Ranger, second a Warrior.
