Ever heard of Poptag? Same deal, nothing happened.

"OOO should be liable for the crap they call pvp"

Are you calling Bomberman crap? GET OUT HERETIC.
I'm so glad we don't have CTF. It's boring.

It gets even worse, folks. I have now discovered that even the gameplay at the GATES was lifted off a game called Legend of Zelda! Check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4bvZZa5Mtg . At 1:35, there are even ghouls! Maaan, Nintento's gonna sue.

DA HORROR! I think. cause i cant watch it due to stuff.
what i am about to say is totally off topic, but your name reminds me of another person on the forums of a website called BZPower.com. for the Lego thing Bionicle. which i think is awesome. stupid Hero Factory. jsut saying. anyways, his name was ORYLY. or something like that. and they had stories on the forums. so whenever someone use the phrase "O really?" in a story, the user ORYLY would pop out of a portal and bonk the person who said it with his hammer.

"Bethesda is suing Notch, creator of Minecraft, because he's making a side project under the working title of Scroll.
They claim that it's an infringement on their Elder Scrolls titles. Which of course is stupid. You can't copyright a word. They're just worried because with Minecraft selling 3 million copies, they figure Notch's success will take away from their profits with Skyrim."

someday i'm going to copyright the word copyright.

All right, I may have inforced the OP's behavior, becuase I call three rings out allot, only for their own good, and saw him on one of my threads.

Look man, bomberman is fun, don't diss that. It's fine to say that you are dissapointed that they copied that, but since they copied it, you cant make fun of it without hurting the original. And it is just as fun as the original, I personaly play it. I was still dissapointed that they only did half of what was expected of them by many many people. Sorry if I'm belittleing you dispite the fact that I'm somewhat agreeing with you.

Onto the commenters, Someone here claimed that that's like saying htis is a rip off of zelda. And that's the real crap. All this has in common with zelda is the camera angle, and the fact that you kill stuff with old school fantay weapons, and the square shrubs and all that good stuff. On the otherhand, the PVP is nearly a direct copy of the cross-shaped bombs exploding down the maze of blocks that makes up the playing feild. Your response to the OP is invalid, becuase pvp is almost exactaly like bomberman, whereas gate gameplay is only very very slightly like zelda.

I AM RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE! IF U DON'T LIKE THE GAME, DON'T PLAY THE GAME! LEAVE US IN PEACE! STOP ANNOYING US!!!!!!

srry about that. i just had to get that out of my system. but still. if u dont like it, then just don't play it. play world of warcraft or something. These kind of threads are getting old. well, not really. sort of. they're entertainin.

Nobody says that OOO is perfect. There have been numerous balance updates since the game was released that came from player feedback (i.e. complaints). For example, piercing damage was rare until Wolvers and Slimes were updated. Oilers that caught on fire were ridiculously overpowered before they were rebalanced. Getting shocked was severely crippling before the duration was shortened.

PVP during beta was an experiment. It didn't work because it was horribly unbalanced. Reducing the damage wouldn't solve that. It also causes a huge divide between players with 5 star gear with superior UVs and players with basic low star gear. Even if the proper steps were taken to rebalance everything, the cycle would repeat when new gear is introduced to the game.

Keep in mind that when you use "13 year old girls" as an insult, you are insulting women in general, implying that they are somehow inferior. This game is better off without the influence of misogynistic players such as yourself.

Derrrr.

What part of "More events coming soon!" did you miss in the Blast Network announcement? Blast Network is ONE MODE, it just happens to be the first one they released. And it's kind of hilarious that some people are getting so bent out of shape about it.

Seriously. Chill out. It is a game, a pretty fun game, and blast network is a fun little addition to this fun little game. I'm personally looking forward to when they release some other stuff - I get the feeling it should be entertaining.

@Gimpy0
you said "again, PVP is PLAYER VS PLAYER. there are no prerequisits concerning how it is done." Now you're doing what three rings did, and it was the sole action that upset me the most. They went "meh, it's technicaly player vs player, grab a bomb, get outa mah face". There were indeed prerequisites for this, that were stated in the infininite database the spiral fourms contain. It's safe to say they couldint fufill all those ideas, but not once did someone say "Hey lets make bomberman"

@ N3cR0m4nS1r
I criticise them becuase I love this game. It's rude and insulting to bunch me in with the haters just becuase I think they should change their ways to some extent.

@sethcohendx
Once again, dont push bomberman around. And Most people like me arent fogiving them. But I'm not hating on them, I've opened up numerous threads saying that this was a stupid idea. I call them out hulk-hogan style (not a fan) to get them to realize their mistakes, but I tont call them bad words or claim that they are bad people. Nonetheless, I get grouped up with people like you who see this as bullying them around as opposed to raising your kid to eat spinach. You should stop acting like a 15 year old girl who runs around getting into catfights my freind.

???

I don't recall talking to you in this thread, least of all insulting u or anything.

Oh, missed the begining one post N3cR0m4nS1r, my bad, but better safe than sorry.

Once again sethcohendx, you say "the pvp is too much like bomberman" but reply saying "the game should be more like world of warcraft"
You are saying "copying is wrong" then you say "copy this guys" contradictory, again. Your the only one out there questioning OOO becuase youve turned people who oppose pvp like me against you by acting like a jerk. No one on this fourm respects you other than yourself. Get out.

Throwing around insults like elementary school children does not change the fact that it IS pvp, although not the form you specifically wanted (still very fun to a lot of players).

It's PVP, yes its a bomberman knockoff, its fun though... even with the afkers. There will also be other things coming out for pvp, like the lockdown thing. Possibly the unbalanced fighting that most of the beta-players asked to have changed and other people are spazzing over wanting also.

As for WoW being hugely successful... so is RS, and it has about 140 million more active accounts then WoW does.

You can't really compare WoW and SK though (or WoW and RS :p) due to one having a monthly subscription and the other being F2P... kind of like comparing apples to coconuts.

WoW used to be a great game... once upon a time. But sadly they realized that modern gamers are generally less than brilliant. So they dumbed down the game in some areas. Then others. And others. Etc...
Now it's pretty much a game that plays itself. The skill once needed is long gone.
It's one of the reasons I stopped playing.

The OP is so..just out there it is hard to comment(cant say stuff like we do on YPP forums). One stop hitting enter after every time you finish a sentence. Seriously have you ever seen what Runescape calls PVP? I looked it up just to make the point that, it will just be swing, swing, swing, dead. Better weapons wins. The only reason WoW has successful PVP I believe is because you can cast spells and all which makes for a little but not much strategy. The only one out of these games I have played is Diablo 2, and PVP on that was just plain boring. Basically if you hit attack as many times as you wanted with better gear you would win. Spells did mean a little, but not much. This game doesn't have the variant that spells add in. If you want to attack spam and find that fun, be my guest, but for me personally it will be boring after the first match.

"wow has pvp
sk does not"

i dunno about WoW, but SK does have PvP. It may be like bomberman, but it is still called PvP. I mean, PvP is Player-vs-Player. If you hadnt noticed, you kill each other in Blast Network. Which means you fight against each other. Which means Player vs player. Is it that hard for you to understand? i though you were a smart human being like us. i guess not. i mean, when it says pvp, its pvp. OOO called it pvp, so its pvp. i mean, player vs player isnt YuY. its PvP. thats why its called pvp. DUH.

o. and also about the part where you said sk is not succesful and wow is. fyi, millions of people play this game. that means it is SUCCESFUL. i mean, if it wasnt, none of us would be playing it. DUH

Or quit.

this may have been mentioned, but full on PVP in the sense of combat using your weapons and armour against other players is not in the spirit of the game, it just does not fit as there are no different (playable) factions within the game that are at odds, and - story wise - we are all struggling towards the same end (discouvering the secrets of cradle). There are plenty of games out there that have a good pvp system, go and play one of those or.......................stop crying like a 5year old.

i like patrick...

these are all people that said bomberman online on consoles was fail.

if they can fix the lag issues, blast network will be a huge hit. currently its not fun because you're not fighting other players as much as you are fighting the game.

i love bomberman. im awesome at it. but i can't get into SK pvp because of the horrible netcode.

id gladly pay more if it meant theyd do something about the netcode.

Eh, I played bomberman online on PC -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-rSDUrxQPw

It was really fun.

..But they blocked international IP's and probably closed down. I haven't really thought of it since.

This was like a godsend - now I don't have to be all "man, I want to play a run, but I want to make sure it's profitabl- OH LOOK AN FSC OPENED YAY" ALL the time.

Not only does Blast Network hint of (but isn't exactly like) a game that I liked/was good at, but I can also make money off of other players while playing it :D

I have fun playing with those people - running into top players and trying to see if I can match them (either in a race to kill the worse players or trying to stop their streaks)... all the while making money and tokens to boost the money gain even more (lol, mod calibrators <3).

Why would I rather play bomberman inside spiral knights?
- I don't currently have any ties to any current bomberman online servers (I hear there are private servers now)
- I get to play versus players (and it's not always the same!)
- I make money while playing, so I can fund the energy I want to make more things.
- I can relax thinking about CE for a while :D
