Sure looks interesting - now all that remains is for them to make it a working vision http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif

From the faq....now this makes me grin.

Q: What are the PvP rules?
A: There will be no restrictions whatsoever concerning PvP. It’s up to the players to create a society that punishes criminals. With the ability to knockout and drag fellow players into player constructed prisons and torture devices, punishment will definitely be a viable option.

Can you see if this was being exploited somehow? Gawd how frustrating would that be!
I can see the msg boards full of people tired of being knocked out dragged and stuck in prisons! lol

[Fwank]

You actually bought into that crap? The entire development team is one guy. One f'n guy! Well I think theres three now but come on. Did you read the first House of Commons chat? The ability to anal rape people? Use catapults with people and ****? And what about the Anti-Lag code? What bull ****. This game is just a couple guys with 3D Studio. If it ever is released with half the stuff that they want I will **** my own *** with a broom handle.

[mr. self destruct]

hmmmm, after reading the FAQ, this is starting to sound like bull-shite. For instance: For you techies, eliminating the effects of latency is possible because there won’t be ‘rocket launcher’ type weapons where you are required to lead your target. Our latency elimination is NOT an empty promise. That sounds like it's written by a 15 year old that makes **** up just to sound smart.

Ok, this is from one of IGN's interviews with the main guy of Dawn: We've developed our own targeting system that works perfectly in conjunction with client side prediction. Because there is no 'leading' your target we're able to eliminate the effects of reasonable latency completely.Ok, now that makes a little more sense, but that means ONLY MELEE weapons, or auto-targeting spells! That's pretty limited there.

You don't do that when every game is released do you? http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Fwank, there are around 2 dozen people working on Dawn, Larry=Axehandler, Jeff=Jeff, Mario=Raz, Dario=706, and Chris whos SN i can not remember are just the only ones who deal with media.

And for the other non believer, there are other ways that the net code reduces lag, but since combat is a big latency causer they have eliminated certain things from it that cuase lag.

Believe me Dawn is real, I am an alpha tester, and my comp is less than avg and i dont lag AT ALL, so at worst when the final version comes out I will experiencing a little lag with the eye candy features and larger world and more players on line, but the things they are doing to reduce latency is amazing.

Neverwinter Nights will crush all other MMORPGs. You will be able to build buildings and strongholds in NWN, provided you can pay for and defend them.

Oh, man... guys

Dawn = vaporware. Just think about it..

They never, ever update, never have interviews, and have an extremely small workforce. And they say its 65,000 square miles compared to AC's 500? I'd for sure bet the farm Dawn is not ever going to make it. (feel free to prove me wrong about that part, I'm sure there are more knowledgable people)

I dont hate the game or anything, that game would RULE.. however, too good to be true.

I applied in beta too..

I made another application that was totally bogus.

"Who referred you to Dawn?": My dog

"Why should we pick you as a beta tester?":I like man pee-pee (yes I put that)

Then I get accepted into beta.. heh

He's right. I'd imagine the development community for NWN will coalesce practically overnight. You'd have dozens, probably hundreds of quality "modules" to choose from. It has the potential to be online incarnation of the D&D table top game.

Best of all, your game won't be second to some twisted teenager's sex-power fantasy, unless that happens to describe your DM (in which case, get ready for some anal-probin')

Woohoo, it's not vaporware, it's still alive and well by the sounds of it. Just strange how "in the dark" they have kept the public.

4/19/01 - Hang in there!
The mystery project will be unveiled the end of May at the latest. We know you are all very eager for updates and media; be assured we are equally eager to present them to you. We at Glitchless ask for your patience and support while we continue our hard work on this monumental task.

[Sister Klon]

hehe, they've made updates to the website, although we all know what happened with it. I still can't tell if it's someone making an actual game or people playing with graphics programs.

[r'aggro]

And for a minute I was wondering why I didn't recognize any of the usernames in this thread except adisharr.

[Adisharr]

Well back in 2001 there was a spot.. lol.

[rhettro]

I'm always suspicious when a person with 1 post to their credit pop in and say " Hey check out our great **** at www.Ilikepie.com ! Nothing like Spam in the morning.

[Chompman]

Bump old threads much? :D

[taggart6]

[GetCarter]

This is interesting and I think we should continue discussing it. :D

[Geforce255]

If it ever is released with half the stuff that they want I will **** my own *** with a broom handle.


Yeah, but don't you do that anyway? :eek:

[Gambit086]

:d

[Snakespy]

U were a beta tester in 2001 and this game still has no sign of being released. Good luck to this game!
It really does look cool though, just highly doubt it will evr come out.

[e8newallm]

Yer iv'e been a member of that forum for a while now... if the game is imense as we think its gonna be we will be prepared for almost everything. It would be great if more people would join so we can have more soldiers when the game starts up :)

[e8newallm]

no joke. if you join now you can help choose the name of the city.

[FTW]

Punishment free flaming of tacojosh will be granted to the first 5 people that join.

[taggart6]

hmm...isn't there a sharky rule about spamming outside forum links? ;)

[Timman_24]

A game like this wont last long. People will just run around "Knocking" each other out. Don't expect any kind of legitiment police to crop up.

[Adisharr]

They sure are taking their time sheesh :(

[rhettro]

So this thread gets bumped every three years? LOL I'll check back in 2011.

[CaTaLyST]

thats really too bad - i was looking forward to this one. :-(

[taggart6]

Oh boy I can't beleive I comments on this tread in 2005...and now in 2008. See you in 2011

[PointlesS]

8 years of development...you know it's going to be awesome when it's released

[Adisharr]

I know I can't wait any longer! The suspense is killing me. I've been saving up vacation days to play it. So far I have 108.

[McRontaya]

First post in this elite thread.
Second will be in 2011.

Keep chuggin game!

[Astros Fan]

Oh boy I can't beleive I comments on this tread in 2005...and now in 2008. See you in 2011


Yeah, it appears NWN...the original is STILL crushing this one. I read a past comment of yours :)

[Kamakazie]

Don't think I ever posted in this thread, so here it goes ;)

[ImaNihilist]

Shadowbane 2.0. Good idea, no funding, no polish, poor execution.

[ImaNihilist]

Damn. Didn't even realize this was 2005. Fail.

[Kamakazie]

Damn. Didn't even realize this was 2005. Fail.

Not 2005, 2001

[ImaNihilist]

Oh snap! I was only looking at p3. EPIC FAILURE

[Adisharr]

Oh snap! I was only looking at p3. EPIC FAILURE

lol :D

[Grelko]

Still no sign of Dawn, playing Nodiatis for the time being. Couldnt wait till 2011 to bump this thread lol. Few people on Nod talk about Dawn once in a while, but havent heard much about it except a few asking when it'll come out. I'll post if I hear anything in the next 2 years lol

[Adisharr]

I'm guessing my beta invite got lost in the mail. Come on guys, I'm still waiting patiently - get SOMETHING playable released already :)

[Adaman]

Let's come back in 2 years and discuss further.

[Grelko]

I sent Glitchless an e-mail about Dawn afew days ago and, finally got a reply.



At this time we are reluctant to estimate a date for Dawn's beta, however,
you can rest assured that Dawn will eventually be released as we have no
intentions of ever abandoning our most promising project. Your e-mail
address has been added to our database and you will receive an e-mail
notifying you of any breaking information. We thank you for your continued
interest in Dawn and encourage you to bookmark and check our web site every couple months. We cannot reveal anything concerning the Prophecy by e-mail.

So, it is infact STILL going to come out eventually, but thats all the info I have so far, I'll post anything else new i find out

Guess I'll keep playing Nodiatis till Dawn is finally out lol

[Zethioth]

Yes, this post was indeed started in 2001, but along with Grelko I also sent them an email and got nearly the same reply.

I did add a question about Beta Testing, since everyone who signed up would've been way back in 2001 and most likely forgot.

Here is my Email and my Reply:

First Email:
Hello,



My name is Tyler and I have been awaiting the launch of Dawn, your game in Development. I have found posts on other websites talking about the game, the only problem is that they date back to 2001! I was wondering if the game is still going to be launched, I am not worried about a date, but only to be assured of a launch sometime in the future.



Also, since these posts that date back in 2001 talk about how the person has signed-up for Beta testing, over the 8 years, if people have lost interest, have there been any openings? If so, what are the Minimum PC-Specs?

I hope to hear back soon,

-Tyler, soon to be a future player of Dawn.
