Dedicated server support is now cracked. No more lame matchmaking.
IW & Activision = TOLD

You NEED an ori copy to use the MP mod, so there's no piracy.
But will Steam VAC this? Only time will tell.

Long story short, got Diploma in Accounting at TARC, tried to do ACCA standalone after that. Failed the past 2 seatings. Don't think accounting is really for me.
Thinking about moving to computer studies (programming, etc). What would one recommend for a loser like me?

BattleForge: An RTS with a card-based twist!

Zephro — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 22:04:25 +0800

What is BattleForge?
BattleForge is a next-gen real time strategy game, in which you fight epic battles against evil along with your friends. What makes BattleForge special is that you can assemble your army yourself: the units, buildings and spells in BattleForge are represented by collectible cards that you can trade with other players.

What does it cost?
You can purchase BattleForge at TSB for RM129, or on Steam for $50USD (RM179). There's also a demo you can try out on Steam, which is basically the whole game. Once you insert a legit cd-key, you'll unlock the full game, no additional download required.
If you don't mind dealing with shady-ish websites, Online Key Store is selling keys for $20USD each. That's a real bargain.

There is now a Play4Free Client, which means you can play for free after being given 2 decks of a random color. All the demo limitations have been removed. The only restriction you have is on trading, in which you need to attain a certain PvE+PvP level to unlock. However if you buy the game, there are no such restrictions and you get 4 decks + 3000 BFP to start.

BattleForge is an online game, meaning you have to be connected to the internet to play. There is no monthly fee to play.

UPDATE:
EA is cutting down the price down to $30!!
http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/05/05/bat...nent-price-cut/
So if you wanna buy it, you might want to wait a bit longer.

What does it come with?
The retail package comes with 4 decks. A tutorial deck with 6 cards in it, and a deck for each of the elements - Frost, Fire, Shadow, Nature. It also comes with 3000 BattleForge points which can be used to purchase more cards.

BattleForge points? WTF?
To ensure you keep spending money on the game, you use Battleforge points to buy cards from tomes (6 packs), booster packs (6 cards), or the auction house.

* Tomes cost 1250 points and are basically a pack of 6 booster packs.
* Boosters cost 250 points.
* 1000 points costs $10USD.
* 2225 points costs $20USD.

Why should I play this?
Because summoning a colossus and stomping little tree people are fun. It is also very accessible to those new to RTS games or those that simply suck at them (me included), as there is minimal building required. There is a huge emphasis on combat. The deck building and card upgrading contribute a deep layer of gameplay as well.
Furthermore, the netcode is really good compared to Demigod, you'll barely feel any lag when playing with people from overseas, where the bulk of the population comes from.

How do the demo and full version of the game differ?
In the demo version, you will receive one of the four theme deck with which you can play through Encounters with Twilight, Siege of Hope, Bad Harvest or Crusade. In the demo version you cannot trade or upgrade your cards. Any map progress made in the demo version will be saved and will carry over if you upgrade your account to the full version.

The game comes with a bunch of cards for all 4 'elements', also with the 3000 BattleForge points it comes with you can get 2x tomes and 2x boosters which gives you an additional 112 cards. Pretty good deal.
You can also sell cards on the Auction House to get BF points so you really don't need to spend any money. With the points that came with it and the starter decks I have 4 pretty good decks.

What gameplay modes are there?
There's the PvE campaign, in which you can party up to 12 other players to overcome the CPU to earn card upgrades. As you beat the levels, harder difficulties unlock, giving you access to more powerful card upgrades.

And of course, there is PvP, in which traditional RTS battles are fought up to 2v2. You earn Battle Points simply by participating in them, which you can trade in to get card upgrades.

This ensures that no matter what mode you're interested in, you'll always get card upgrades.

Card upgrades? What are those?
They normally add minor bonuses for each level, up to a maximum of 2. Also, to apply an optional charge upgrade (which increases the number of times you can use the card before it has to cool down), you'll need a duplicate card, which is consumed upon application. Oh, and once you upgrade a card, it cannot be traded. So weigh your options accordingly.

I NEED FRIENDS
So far there are only 3 guys playing, hopefully this thread will bring more exposure to this rather interesting game. I'm on the Overlord server as it is more populated.

DSL connection suddenly dies

Zephro — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:35:57 +0800

I dunno why, but lately my 1Mbit Streamyshit connection will die around 10am-12pm for no reason. It just goes dead for a while, then detects it back.
While it isn't such a big deal, it's annoying since it changes my IP all the time. I keep getting 115 and 118 which are total crap, and when I get 60 I can only groan knowing that the next day it will be eventually changed.

Mysterious indeed.

WAR server location?

Zephro — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 23:44:38 +0800

I'm planning to get the one that connects to the Oceanic (lol Aus) server, but I don't seem to see the details when I check the game online at TSB.
Or can you choose which server to connect to at start?

Someone tried to scam my Steam account...

Attached pic for more info.

My Xbox is broken :/

Zephro — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 01:03:18 +0800

None of the wireless controllers connect to it now.
It's less than 1 month old, even. I always seem to get hit by the most uncommon errors.
Oh well, back to Singapore you go!

Anyone having problems with Steam?

Zephro — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:08:10 +0800
