a destructible crytopia

[soothsayer]

with what the cryengine is capable of doing, it would great too have full destructible world.. but this would not work other wise entropia would be flatten in a number of weeks

maybe destructible buildings and envrioment in event areas and only during a event, that would re-spawn back after the event has finished, this would defiantly make pvp event more fun..

I think the general environment would also have too be destructible too some extent but trees would have too re-grow after a set time period

One of the interviews I listened to on EntropiaRadio.com with one of the guys from mindark who is working on Cryengine was asked that question....

Its a while since I heard it, but he didn't rule out the possibility and as you say, he said if it was to be implemented it would have to be that they re-genned over time.....

I don't remember there being mention of the effects this would have on lag tho... especially in places like twins....

Great Oppurtunity for MA to make some extra peds off wasted ammo too

I presume you wouldn't get skills off destroying stuff... that might open up all sorts of issues with people bot skilling...

[soothsayer]

the only true lag issue would graphic lag on peoples pc and server lag.. lots of people seem too get them confused or don't understand that there are 2 types of lag types. MA need to stop blaming thing on lag issues when really that is not the issue other wise these thing would have been implemented many vu's ago I think it MA trying too cope with RL finical situations

ya, Graphics Lag and Server lag, combined it's a lethal Cocktail,

I'd like to name this Cocktail

would love to see it but it would be rather pointless in a multi player game

altho "Omega Grass and Anoying Bush trimmer (L)" might be a nice addition - finally we could see those phasms from more than 50m lol

yes Alf commented on the "tree situation" as it were in his interview. Its not an easy one and I imagine it depends on all kinds of things. It may well be something MA will just have to try out and see how performance goes.

There all sorts of things like that in the cryengine though. eg that when you shoot the branches of plants/trees they move as if hit. Similarly they brush past you as you walk around.

so what would the guy standing behind you see?

Tricky problem really. I like the idea of a respawn though to be honest.

Buy one nuke for 10.000 PED and blow up a planet

been talked about before, could be kinda fun

Destroying buildings, items etc with the CryEngine 2

Also I noticed from MA's 2007 annual report that they haven't spent any money on new Servers since 2006... now I'm no expert so don't know if they should be upgraded more often that that... but my point is, maybe the servers will be upgraded for Cryengine, or does that go without saying to handle the new load ?

Although they might have already updated them.... haven't had their half yearly interim accounts yet lol....
