Xsyon

[Darwoth]

i remember hearing about this game several years ago and some people i know were in the alpha, been so long i cant remember why they said it sucked but the general consensus was that it did, bad.

if i remember they had no plans for pvp servers and the game was another "respawn losing nothing" type game, so i probably stopped paying attention at that point.

If they remove the subscribtion....for sure i'll give it a try....maybe waiting for a sale i could buy it also with subscription and playing it for free with skills capped to 30/100....only to see how this game runs....however this game has too few players to worth the price....i hope the dev will make something about. Maybe it will come back again to f2p formula. We'll see. Bye

Played it for a while long ago. Didn't really like the mechanics or the entire "feel" in the game.

3d salem? well yes need to try!

Salem is 3D too.

And i dont know, this game seems to try to look realistic... but it does not look realistic... such game don't touch me.

[Cawalox]

Salem is 2,5D actually.

[Taipion]

It's not 3d why do you insist on opening your mouth when you're wrong? Also stop pming me every 5 seconds that your boo hoo feelings get hurt. Grow a thicker hide, and learn to have a discussion, and not cry whenever someone calls you out on being wrong.

Go ahead and explain that.

The world looks 3d and has 3d models, but the space is 2d as shown by the fact that we can't make extra 'levels' like bridges. The tile is either painted as water or as land, you can't have both as with a bridge over water because there is no 'over'. You also can't have a character be able to walk out in a second story porch on a house or some such. There is only one level in the world. Therefore, 2.5d.

But we can level the ground and stand on high ground. doesn't that mean that its 3d because we have all three dimensions?

It's still just one layer.
