• • C# over C++?

  • I don't work in game industry. But my guess is c# is used by some companies to make database tools developers and game masters use, game launchers are also typicaly made in c#.

    Game engines are c/c++ (my guess is that they don't even use much of c++ to keep it as optimised as possible with little overhead) with scripting extensions in various scripting languages.

    Chance of getting a job in game industry is pretty slim. You will have much better chances with strong knowledge of c# and sql. We all wanted to make games when we started learning programming. Unfortunately s... ain't like that and most of us work with some sort of databases now.

• • ok. the performance has improved but its just as ugly.

  • I am not angry. I couldn't care less what you think.

    But I do find it funny that people love wow graphics and art so much.

  • That just proves how relative your statement is.

    You find vg ugly, I find ff and especialy wow ugly.

• • Save Dakrfall from Player looting!

  • They are targeting people that want full looting.

    Play another game. There is progression in other games, too. In most other games it is visible to others, too.

• • Why is Vanguard un-popular ?

  • Some people don't have a clue about Vanguard even existing.

    Most people don't even know about its release fiasco.

    There are people out there that don't know a thing about SOE.

     

    When I showed Vanguard to my friend, a typical WoW player (had no idea there were other mmorpgs, didn't know about VG's release etc.).

    His answer after a while of gaming was "Why should I play a game that is so similar to what I am playing? I already have a game that I enjoy. Only because of nicer graphics?" (btw he had similar comments about eq2 and lotro).

     

    Still, I think advertisement is key. Nothing else. Only that most of target population already play WoW. And they don't want to play something so similar after years of WoW.
