CryEngine Speculation Thread!

  1. We all know that the CryEngine upgrade is coming and it will make EU look like an amazing world that is up to par with anything else around.

    What are some of the things you expect to happen once the CryEngine is implimented? What changes do you see taking place in the economy? Membership of the game/universe? Will new items or skills be introduced and if so what?

    I personally believe that the new engineer will send new membership skyrocketing for a while and low end items will be in much higher demand. Land Areas will yet again increase in value and even things such as small apartments will jump in price.

    I'm hoping for the addition of one MAJOR skill in game that if it appeared would drive me broke in RL! ROBOTICS!!!

    I have a scheme for the various types of robots and their potential uses and I'd LOVE to see something like this enter the Universe.

    Something that would really drive the usefullness of other professions in the sense that as a Robotic Engineer, you may need to purchase various components from the other professions and then use those components to build your robots.

    I'm a robotics nut and haven't seen anything like this since Star Wars Galaxies where Robot building was truly a blast!

    What are some of the things you think will happen? Like to see happen?

  2. No sense here to discuss about that.
    As long as you do not have an agreement with MA (i.e. the terminals,...) it will stay a dream.
    Of course you have a lot of ideas. But perhaps it would be better to concentrate on one thing. Or is the "Land Area" story already history?

    Furthermore, I do not see the link to the CryEngine. People love to play the game not because the graphic, but because of the feeling and the possibilities in game. You also have to consider that there might be a loss of players by introducing the new engine. Like it was after every major update.
    And, as there is a steady flow of newcommers, there is a steady flow of people chipping out and leaving the game.
    :twocents:

  3. I think one of the main things that may turn up are vehicles - cars, hoverbikes, maybe even rideable pets.
    I get this feeling because all of these things had been rumoured in some way before MA went engine shopping - I think they realised that to do some of this stuff they needed more 'grunt under the hood', meaning capabilities of the engine.

    The loss of players seems to be at a devestating level, I hope for them and us that they get it done soon!

    THe other thing to mention is that once they implement cryengine, iron out the immediate ugs, there may be some capacity in MA to start developing new features again, so hopefully we'll see a lot of new stuff.
    Personally I'd like to see a better crafting system, maybe a little like SL where you an actually construct stuff, not just press the button.

  5. yea Cars..vehicles of all kinds have been discussed for ages
    Personally I think what we will see regarding that is "tanks", armored weapon system för larger mobs. :twocents:

    regarding what better graphic will bring, except more lag, I think we will se more bull#¤%& professions like the Beauty\hardresser stuff
    But it could ofcourse also mean a boost for the tailoring\texture profession

    Anyway,who knows...maybe we get nothing :rolleyes:
     
  6. I'm really not trying to be an azzhole here or anything, really, but this forum isn't very active at all and I'm making attempts to stir up conversation. It may be better if the mods of this forum didn't shoot down and lock everything in it. This isn't entropiaforum, no disrespect intended, where you have hundreds of people on the forums going nuts to the extent that locking a thread or crapping on a newcomers post isn't going to matter so much.

    Take my advice for what it's worth. I'm just saying, maybe folks shouldn't be so ironfisted.

    And yes, Entropia Holdings is of course still developing. That isn't going anywhere. I am simply expanding upon our services for people.

    Look, I like this forum and there seems to be a sense of community begging to get out. If the mods are ironfisted and not interested in newcomers, that's fine if it works well. I'm saying, relax a little and let the community grow. Everyone has a niche and there is already an EntropiaForum.

    Maybe try to find a more specific niche for these forums? Maybe being what Jerry Springer is to day time talk shows isn't a bad idea?

    Just throwing out suggestions.
     
  7. wow where did that come from? Something get locked? Can't see much atm from smartphone!
    You're welcome to discuss what you like here barring the obvious

  8. As far as functionality is concerned, I would expect to see little if any change. I would guess just getting what they have to interface with the new engine and generating the new look will be a big enough job :).
     
  9. of course this isn't EF.;) We are a small community, compared to EF, and I think the responses you already got here are not ironfisted. And I didn't see that some of your posts are banned/ blocked/ hijacked.
    But you have also take into account that most of the active users here in the forum are very familiar with EU, because we played it already for years. So we know what has happened, and your ideas are "old" (no disrespect here), we saw them in the past. But this does not mean that these ideas are bad, no doubts.
    Honestly you should listen to the ppl responding in your threads, they do not use the hammer to blame you, they try to give you some advice on your ideas.
    And we all love it to see someone who has luck with his ideas.

    Comming back to my post before I have the feeling that you try to do too much, this could go wrong easily. And you raise your ideas believing that MA will fully support them. This could also be a mistake.
    There was no intention of hard feelings or ironfist in my post. Sorry if you understand that wrong.

    Oh I get the responses you got here are not ironfisted are a small community compared to EF .Do you wear glasses?And.
    What makes you think I have take into account that most of the active users here in the forum familiar with EU because we played it for years are?By "we" do you mean you and me?Huh.
    Doesn't it?You like the ppl responding in your threads they do not use the hammer to blame you they try to give you some advice on your ideas. Aren't you usually honest?By "we" do you mean you and me?Oh now I see.Interesting gossip. What does "this" refer to?What happened?There is no need to apologize. I think I do.

  11. I understand, thank you for your post.

    As far as me trying to do too much, I will say that with Entropia Holdings as an investment firm, yes, it's very ambitious and one of the great uphill battles I will face. But when the day comes that I pull it off, imagine the glee of even the community that bewilders me and or fears my intentions aren't what they are.

    I've since added a new service through Entropia Holdings which is real estate brokerage. This will help me develop relationships within the community while aiding in the sale of real estate. As I sell real estate for people, I will at the same time be adding to the investment fund as part of the brokerage service. All the while I'll be learning the ins and outs of the various real estate options, the values of each location and their associated perks.
