[Alpha Combat!!!]

to go with Code's post this is DeathProxy's opinion and reveals of the new combat video. He also had Steven (creator) confirm that there is a 3 point hit box (head, mid/chest and Leg) which then means no tab targeting!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! see his breakdown of the video but gets me very excited!

[Rend has dungeons and raids coming]

Hey guys,

Here is an interview about the game they discuss a few things coming this year in the game; first their will be dungeons in caves and it will be so dark that there has to be some ppl caring a torch just to get thru. There is also artifact weapons/gear that will be the only one in the server. He mentions raids briefly as well but take a look I'm having fun play it so far and hope more will join soon.

 

[Rend - early access today on Steam!!! here is info on it]

Nice i just bought it but wow the servers are packed on official servers, we will need a head count and really figure out what server altogether. If possible everyone get on TS to discuss this when you get home if you are going to join.

[Rend - early access today on Steam!!! here is info on it]

Hey Everyone,

I am finally excited about a game that I can play a lot of!!! This game has so much depth in crafting and building but also a big PVE aspect in survival game not just PVP something Dark and Light was trying to do! So I wanted to show a few new videos about the game, I also got to play the last couple of days that got me hyped! The game is only $30 and all 3 co-founders of the game all worked on Wildstar just sayin.

The game consist of 3 factions to choose from (revenant, order and conclave), unlike other survival games (ark, dark and light, etc.) there are classes to choose from (assassin, pathfinder, warlord and shaman) which all 3 have completely different skills trees. You choose 2 of the 4 as archtypes to skill up or put points into very similar to WOW (I won't go too into this because that would take forever), you also have level up items such as when you use your weapon, gathering, etc. for example at lvl 5 of gathering wood you then have a choice between 2 bonus stats that can be extremely important such as gain more leather when skinning, etc (be careful though you can never change the choice you make). While gathering, skinning, etc. you also get sparks, these are used to help your faction research; this helps build, get new weapon crafts, etc. (this is very in depth and a ton of items to research). Last there are ascension points that you earn just by gathering, combat and building these points can be used for extra bonuses such as increased health, gaining more xp, increase weight and also there are some character creation hair styles, etc. that you can unlock as well. Now the exciting part is the PVE; usually in like ARK you have just creatures you have to watch out for in the wild and there is no exception in this game as well BUT in this game your main faction base has a shield around it and cannot be attacked except for 2 times a week the shields go down and a horde of npc monsters attack to kill your factions divinity stone if you defend them off then the next rapture the NPC increase in difficulty, this will happen over and over again and get harder and harder until your faction dies or your faction collects enough souls to fill the tree and you win. On top of that after every rapture the shields take time to recharge and allows the other factions to attack the base until the shields get fully charged. There is also taming all the creatures in the world just like ARK it is a little more complicated to do though again I won't get into that right now. 

Here is the first video pretty long but to give a little back story on the first video; your faction only has 1 of 3 metal resources that are needed (tin, copper and flux) so you will need to go to the other faction sides to get the other 2 resources which could spark some PVP. There is one other way to get the other resources and I can go over that in the game. CODE do not watch the first 6 min and I think there is one more time at like 28 - 30 min I am warning you ahead of time haha.

The next 2 videos are some well done beginner videos that I think could really help from Death Proxy

And that is it for now, The early access is live as of 10am PST (1pm EST) I will be getting it as soon as I get home from work. Last each faction only holds a certain amount of players per faction so if we want to play together depending on how many we have we will need to coordinate the server and faction all at once so we make sure we all can get in. I am going to go Revanent (purple) that is what I played in alpha and most familiar with. I hope you all join me!

[Rend - Alpha First Impression]

I got an Alpha invite a couple of days ago (if you put in the beta request then you might have also), so I decided to try it tonight and wow I am really enjoying it. Think of it as a survival game like Ark and Dark and Light but with an MMO based skill system with classes. If I remember correctly 4 different type of classes; range bow type class, spell caster, melee, etc. I am playing an assassin that can stealth of course but uses long range bow to attack. The combat is very fluid and I like the aiming better than the other survival games, they did a great job with combat. 

To explain a little about the game it is 3 faction survival game but with a few twists (I think this is what Dark and Light was trying to create); first each faction needs to work together in research (there is a lumbermill, stonemill, alchemy, brewery, a couple more I can't remember though), plus building (you can also build your own base as well) and to fight off the other factions PLUS 2 times a week monsters spawn to specifically kill off the factions and each time your faction is successful killing off the monsters the next time they get harder. 

Now I played for only 2 - 3 hours so I haven't dove in enough but time just flew by while playing, but I can't express enough how much more there is in this game. I will give more in depth review this weekend but for the few of that have played and liked Ark, dark and light or conan you should request for beta. I put in the link in my previous post about this game plus 2 videos deathproxy who puts in a really good review, his second video goes into how they added in the ability to build your own base.

here is the info for the live stream if instrested:

SLC Meetup will be livestreamed by @MTarget, starting at 8:30 EDT / 5:30 PDT: https://www.twitch.tv/mtargetproduction

[Elio Coin - Based off of RVN?]

It is probably between 3 coins that all mingle with each other Raven, Polymath and Tzero so most likely it will. Good things on the horizon!

[SLC Meetup]

Hey Everyone, on Monday there will be a meet and greet which they will go over a few things with RavenCoin but this one is pretty special since Patrick Byrne (CEO of Overstock) will be there with Bruce Fenton and Tron Black. There are a lot of good things going on with Raven and the affiliate coins (Tzero and Polymath). The meet and greet will be live streamed, not sure where yet but here are the details from discord:

posted in #thenest from @Chatturga Hello again! This is just a friendly reminder about the SLC Ravencoin meetup on Monday, May 7th from 6:30pm-9:00pm MST (8:30pm-11:30pm EST). We have some quite the shindig planned for those who are able to attend, and live streaming arranged for those who are not able to make it this time. We will be hearing from Tron Black, Bruce Fenton, and Patrick Byrne. The remaining time will be spent hanging out and getting to know each other. We look forward to meeting everyone!

 

[Bless Online]

So Pew has been talking about this game and I finally decided to review the game; I'm pretty impressed especially since this is due to come out next month. It is going to be buy to play like Black Desert Online with a cash shop but I don't think it will blur the lines like BDO. Here is a newer review of the game, but I will probably get this next month let me know what you think?

 

[Save the GPUs]

HAHAHA I love the end when it shows the forms of payment and the last one is bitcoin!

[PixArk Server is Live!]

I'll try it also when I get home in an hour or so.

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

Awesome - sure that would be great!

Code - do you mean how big this post is getting or what Awesome is creating?

Last - price is steady at .058 - .063 this is a good sign, it would be bad if it pumped yesterday and then it went back to .024 the next day. Let's see what april 3rd gives us!

[Never hit a woman]

HAHA!

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

There was a web page or wiki type page created to show all of Bruce Fenton (this is main creator of this coin) and the lead Dev Tron talking points over the past couple of months from Discord and Telegram apps. There are some really good comments, I really really like this coin. I'm not saying we will be rich but if based on these comments come true this could be really big. https://raven.wiki/wiki/The_Fenton_Files

Here is my take; there are big flaws in Ethereum per many that have talked about it, if you don't know what ETH is it is one of the top 5 coins and I believe the 2nd oldest coin that already does similar to what RVN is creating, but due to these flaws there are 5 or 6 different coins trying to duplicate it in a different way. In other words trying to make a better ETH, based on the other duplicate coins (not ETH at this moment so don't think it will be worth what ETH is) I find this coin being better than the others. My main reasons are it has a lot of dev backing, with a few very influential people in the space backing it and it is developing very quickly. There are update after update on this coin and they have already pretty much told us the road map, you can't say the same for most of the other coins doing this. It follows ETH where they have a lot of development and it also grew very quickly but they grew when crypto had a very small total market compared to today. ETH once the market got bigger grew in value even with the flaws that are still known (the flaws by the way from what I can understand is more on the growth in the blocks for how many tokens (erc20 tokens are granted for ever company creating a coin on their chain), again from what I understand it is some of the same issues that Bitcoin could have down the road due to the block sizes or mem-block sizes that is. I'm not sure why exactly ETH couldn't just fork to solve this when it becomes and issue like BTC could do but apparently it isn't that simple for them, maybe because there are already a ton of tokens already created but again not sure on the technical reason). Either way it is still a big project, in fact this coin got as high as $1300 - 1400, (again don't expect RVN to be this price and if it did it would be a long time to get to this stage so very far away) but if RVN grows and proves it doesn't have the same flaws due to it being on the bitcoin development and it already addresses the mem-block size it could get very interesting for this coin even in the short run. 

April 3rd is the roadmap and white paper and two things could and probably will happen; 1) the will happen part is that everyone will see now this is a legitimate project (at least perceptions for crypto is that if you have no white paper or roadmap you are not a real development, this is in my opinion stupid. Mainly because tons of crypto's write a simple road map or white paper and the coin never actually does anything but the first question of any non-miner crypto investor is where is the white paper or roadmap, this can be confirmed with my roommate who started investing before me and doesn't mine at all but always asks those two questions when he invests). 2) The could happen is that if what is written on both white paper and road map is in elegant form or well written that is, there will be a lot more serious investors buying this coin, even if it is not on a major exchange (keep in mind the 2 exchanges we are on are smaller than a Bittrex, etc but based on what I have read up on for example Crypto-Bridge is that it is a well respected decentralized exchange so that is a good thing). 3) it would also bring more publicity for the non-miners because right now it is mainly known because of miners. So if there are bigger investors most likely there will be bigger exchanges that will pick up the coin for all the reasons I already stated due to the extra volume. There is already a large amount of volume on crypto-bridge for this coin and there are not a ton of investors buying this coin at this moment. Only time will tell but the past couple of days we have had a big up tick in price and we will see if this continues to happen after April 3rd.

[New Game - Rend]

Hey,

So while looking at the awesome games Haboo posted like Ascent Infinite Realm (AIR) I saw that DeathsProxy talks about AIR and another game called Rend. It looks like another fun game and might be releasing before AIR and all other games we are looking at. Here is his 2 videos:

If there is any interest go to http://www.frostkeep.com/rend-alpha-sign-up/ and sign up for alpha, I just did. But the dynamics of the game seem pretty interesting with tri realm (kinda like GW2) pvp but with a twist of NPC attacks (kinda like Dark and Light but way worse). It looks like a lot to do in game, it also is not tab targeting more action combat looks like it is shooter type game play but with also melee. 

Let me know if your interested I definitely want to play it.

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

I know even I'm not getting too much more but every coin will count. I would suggest to keep mining it to get every last RVN coin you can get! On that note there was an announcement today on twitter and discord 

 This is really good news could bring a lot more attention to this coin and could help with price. This will show the dates like the Oct date for development, this could be huge!!!!

Here is another post on this coin with an interview with one of the developers a really good read: https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/3186521-jim-roof/5127973-ravencoin-take-flight.

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

Haha Code! By the way already announced that in 8 months there will be a planned fork of the Ravencoin this is to add the assets development. This could be when this coin takes off, so by the end of the month. Here is the exact announcement

"Someone asked about forks via DM - there is a planned upgrade fork in 8 months or so. It will be well planned, tested and announced in advance so everyone can easily update miners with plenty of time. This will add the asset creation capabilities into the protocol - it will not affect existing balances or addresses in any way and will not change coin supply etc." 

"From @BruceFenton Well the fork is an upgrade fork not a project fork --- so it's not going to result in 2 coins. Hard forks after this will depend on lots of factors -- some things can only be done via hard fork - best way is as upgrades and with lots of notice and time for testing- Monero forks every six months for example the fork adds the capability to create assets on the chain - once added then thousands of assets can be created & no new fork is needed for those no matter how complex or how many"

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

Ok, so the day has come that an exchange has been added for RVN or ravencoin. It is a decentralized exchange what that means is unlike a Bittrex, coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc. there is no third party that holds on to your funds (for example with bittrex they would hold your funds in their wallet that is created for you when you sign up, also when you do a trade/sale the third party then controls the transaction. Instead with a decentralized exchange you hold on to the wallet and the transaction is directly with the buyer. The exchange would then be more of an escrow company rather than a third party exchange). Here is a good post that explains the difference https://steemit.com/exchange/@nyinyinaing/decentralized-exchange-vs-centralized-exchange. It is a safer way to use an exchange because unless you personally get hacked there is no way for your coins to be lost. 

The exchange is crypto-bridge https://crypto-bridge.org/ - if you decide to create an account just make sure that you copy and write down the long generated password there is no way to recover it if you lose that.

To get back to the price as of now it is worth 4 cents with about 23K worth of volume which is a lot since it was added for 1 day. I see this getting to 10 cents pretty quickly but I will keep an eye out on it. For now I suggest you keep mining till you are no longer getting them.

[Improve game play]

Nice ok I will download it!

[CPU Miner Coin - Raven Coin]

To give an update on this coin it is getting pretty large, including confirmation that owner of overstock has put money towards the development of this coin. based on all this news and still not on exchange yet, right now the coin is being sold thru private escrows from 5 - 6 cents that seems huge. It is very possible it will be over 10 cents once it hits exchange and possibly much higher if development comes up with some good progress. I stopped mining it for a few weeks but have been back for a few days now, it is definitely harder to get coins but I would suggest to keep going after it, mainly because if this keeps getting bigger this could be much more than 10 cents it could be $1 or more pretty easily. Of course the only issue is how many max coins means at a $1 per coin would be a massive market cap, so it could be a little stretch but that is the same thing they said about Ethereum and bitcoin at one time so take that with a grain of salt I'm very bullish on this coin.

so does this help show what you are doing wrong based on real game play or past game play that is? and then help like a trainer?

Here is the first Dev meeting for RVN (not all devs but a few key members).

After viewing the first part of the stream there are a some interesting items they talk about; for example they are looking at making a 1 click pool which means a miner can open the program possibly built into the wallet, click the pool button and anyone mining close to you will click on to your pool and help mine the blocks. Of course that could be a pipe dream but that is an interesting idea, but no matter what this seems like a very smart bunch of guys when it comes to blockchain tech. I still really like this coin BUT it also seems it will be a long time till it hits exchanges because of how they are developing this coin. This is just like bitcoin when it launched it wasn't on exchanges at first it was developed a lot first then an exchange was created to hold bitcoin. so we will see!

[Soldier Tips]

Awesome I love these reviews please keep them coming it helps me as a noob player to get better at playing different characters. I would love to see Genji, Doomfist, stealth chick (forgot name) and flying chick (forgot name also haha) if you can post those if there are good ones like the couple I have seen so far. If you have already posted them sorry I haven't gone thru the full forum page for overwatch just let me know (the zinyata one got me to really like that character and I am much better playing that character by these quick posts).
