Things that would make PA complete like TA

I tried to get a recording of it so i could report it as a bug, next time i will and it happens often.
I don't do pics, i do screen casts though so you can see it live in action

The arm was cloned people AFAIK.

Nope, not in this game's case. The game literally does not have the functionality to play offline, we can't even reverse engineer it as we don't have the server.

(We have the files for unit models, weapons, programming, etc... but we do not have the files to actually play the game and the reason it's not included is not because people would pirate is and what not, but actually because how the heck are they supposed to balance the game when someone could have a completely different version through mods? How do they update it? People would be able to make their whole own game before the games even done. Server will be released at game release. Just waite.)

I'm sorry, but I have plenty Idea. All of the data is processed on the central servers at UBER and streamed to you. You have files on your PC yes, but they do not encompass all of the game, or uber would just make it availible anyway. I'm not as tech-savvy as some, but I know that the PA files on my PC are not enough to run the game on it's own.

I believe you're right. Cloned people. The battle was being fought because the Arm refused to become machines, even if they were clones. The Core was all about pulling out people's souls and blending them into bodies of steel.

True, you don't have the server, but you could hack the client... who needs to reverse engineer it... I'm a programmer and I could make what we have now.. I could point you to all the resources you need to make your own PA complete with randomly generated worlds and space travel. The graphics wouldn't be that difficult for me to clone either (as a blender noob)

This game however is all about machines, and how these machines perceive biological life and the progenitors, most likely the original commanders as their name suggests. The "first".

Do you know how much effort that would take? The game might even release before you're finished finding out what all does what... You'd need to practically recreate the game- Oh wait.

(Also, sorry for double post. )

That's the point though, the client doesn't have all the files, they are streamed to you by the server. That's really not that hard to do.

Great, a present game that predates a past game but is made in the present... like star wars episode 1,2, and 3, which by the way totally suck compared to the original 4,5, and 6

wouldn't take long at all, i've already got my own running 3d engine and world generator... there's not much left... for someone like you, perhaps a while.

Pics or it didn't happen, also can you please refrain from direct and/or indirect insults to people? It is against the forums rules.

I'm sorry you have taken offence to what was said. I insulted no one. A programmer looking at a game can easily see through it and, well, best explanation available, see the matrix in the game... I don't see a game i see what the programmers did... and I can replicate it. From what i'm gathering in my thread here is that most of you are not this way.

Shame Shame Uber Entertainment, not asking permission to send from my computer is a violation of privacy.

Heh, and you're doing a violation of copyright.

how so?

you're digging pretty deep there

Oh well you are taking their coding for planet generation and such for one thing, correct?

completely incorrect. *sighs* what does using my own perlin noise generator in my own hand written 3d engine and headless server engine have to do with uber entertainments copyright on their code? http://lodev.org/cgtutor/randomnoise.html

it's cool that this thread is getting so much attention but when I started this thread it was meant for the dev team of uber entertainment not for players. we're on different levels. I'm here to share my likes and dislikes about the game with devs. I could care less what other players have to say about my opinions. being that I also write games and could write something like this with my team of 8, I'd like to see it go in the right direction so I don't have to go that route. you don't have to explain to me what alpha-gamma is, nor why they released it, nor that I should expect bugs in an experimental release. I understand that better than you do. this thread is for me to post what I want to post regardless of if it will ever be read by the team (and now that it's full of useless banter the chances of that happening are slim)
