man i couldnt agree more. i was reading up on this because i like to pvp but wasnt sure what resilience really was and wanted to make sure. WoW i still so fun but they did fuck shit up. not to mention its annoying having everyone go after the same tier sets in the same raids. everything is so repetitive. it is sad. everyone is so hyped up on this new gear score system too. i never played pre BC but i can appreciate waht it once was because i hate the new shit as much as all the old schoolers. RIP = (

Afraid I have to agree – I appear unable to add a CD-ROM drive that points to a file in a datastore; whether I browse for it or I enter its path by hand, the UI hangs as soon as it gets to that point.

Too bad; I love Workstation, but so far Server 2.0.2 is a dead duck.

Hello Nick,

Sorry to see that students are copying the code and turning it in for their own. I am from RIT and taking Graphics class this quarter and sad to see the code go. I am working on this project now.

Long story short, when you are working on the cone, may I ask why you need float f = m -1;? There are quite some other ares I don’t fully understand from your pseudocode and I am trying to understand all of it. Let me know if I could get some insight for that.

Best,
Paul

I agree with Pallondo. I just enjoy leveling within the old world to 60.
The fact that I can get lost exploring,and leveling. Taking different routes or the same, keeps me still here with WoW. I dont know what the future holds with me playing but i do not play my 80 anymore. looking for a new Wow to play any ideas?

The thing that kills me is what? 12million people subscribe to wow today? So basically 12 million people on multiple continents are all socially inept?

It’s the same with online dating. I constantly get grief over the fact I met my GF, OF 3 YEARS NOW, on myspace. It does not matter that she only lived three towns over, or the fact that we now live together or the fact that we are very happy. The response is always the same. People make out like you have some kind of disorder. Yet, HOW many people are currently on dating services? I promise you its more then 12 million world wide. Does no one else see the irony in this?

Wow is not some local nerd pehnom. MILLIONS of people play, of every age, and come from every background. I respect your right to be clueless as to why 12 million people play wow. If you’re a wow hater, please respect my right to not give a rat’s ass what you think. A persons general Ignorance about the world around them says something about that person does it not?

Lastly for all the haters, I have a homework assignment for you. Do the WoW community a favor and look up hypocrisy in the Webster’s dictionary. With that new found knowledge in your pocket I want you to do two things.
1) Make a list of how many times you fit that definition in one day.
2) Ill help you with the first item on your list. When you tell a WoW player to grow up and join the real world. Realize your misunderstanding of what the “REAL WORLD” is makes you the poster child for the word in your pocket.

I have been playing for a lil less then 2 years. In that time I have mainly run BG’s. In fact, PvP is the only interesting aspect of WoW for me. I to started on a PvP server. B4 WOLK, getting camped by 60+’s as a 20 was not a great aspect, but I delt with it, for a while. Just b4 WOLK hit, 70′s, knowing that there was much better content instore, stoped raiding and commenced unceasing camp fests on anyone they could find. Prompting me to leave the server for medive. By this time, I had several toons that were pretty well geared at lower levels, and I took to twinking. With the idea of twinking, one could set themselvs apart through a focused effort by attaining gear that simply was to “HARD” for the common person bent on getting to 80 to bother with. Blizz then kills the twinks. Essentially. All content lower than 70 is completly pointless. Nobody bothers running the lower end raids or world bosses, cause though the content is as difficult as ever, the rewards are simply worhtless when you can get quest greens within five levels that kill your pretty epics. Competition in the BG’s is absolutly horrible, due to the massive influx of people whos only interest in PvP is the break it offers from questing and leveling. + the advantage of gaining xp at the same time. Consiquently, the “team” aspect is gone, JUST GONE. Its every man for himself with no coordination or communication. Accept for the infintile commments from peopel who have the brass to call everyone noobs in one breath, then ask what they are supposed to be doing the BG they just joined. Yes, its that bad. Everyone has the shittiest gear you can imagin, because there is no point in working or ginding for better gear you will out grow by tomorrow. The only thing that kept me going was the hope that getting a toon to eighty would allow me to be competitive again. However, I was dismayed to discover that getting purps at 80 can be accomplished by stubbing your toe. And this is the real truth. Not only does EVERY SINGLE 80 have the same epic gear, it is madatory for you also to have the gear to be little more than average. True, ther are still epics that are much harder to attain then the new welfare epics everyone is wearing. And the best part of it all is, it all comes right back to the same ass thing that Blizz was ultimatly trying to kill. There will always be a majority of people with average gear, Yes, epics at level 80 are the new greens. And a small minority of people with the “NEW” real epics that set them well ahead of the people they intend to slaughter. Only in order to for this to play out, everyone now must get to 80, and all of the content that came b4 it is just a mud bog and slog fest for new players to race through on thier way to mediocrity at level 80. Im sorry, but for me, WoW has lost its appeal. I know there are butt loads of people that I will call the zombie masses that still think wow is the shit. The only thing I can say about that is the huge influx of the newest WoW players have never experienced what wow once was. And I am disappointed knowing that I myself have missed probably the best time to be playing. Pre BC.

hehe 4 responces before someone said something constructive. I agree too, ressilience took a piss on pvp as we new it from good old Mc days. tops itself with the developer trying to balance pvp and pve still even tho they clearly want to keep the 2 gamemodes apart. Like US politics
