So will T:V be LAN friendly??

Can this board be any more unfriendly? There's so many pretentious views here it's astonishing.

He wasn't asking a group of people that don't know the answer to guess. He was most likely asking for a dev response.

Because Skeletor is a renown moron. There is no guessing. No, you will not be able to legally LAN T:V with only one copy. I will place 1 billion dollars on this if you want to bet.

Thrax, change the design docs.. YOU COULD GET A BILLION DOLLARS FROM IXTERRA!!!!

I was actually going to edit my post to say employees of VU may not accept this wager. ;)

Meaning will it be possible to play on more then one box at a time in a small LAN party setting.You mean like the old Warcraft II and Diablo 1 spawn thing where you could have 3 people playing multiplayer on the fourth's official game?

No, sorry. Nothing like that.

I've heard more about teh single player game than I've heard about the multiplayer game.

What the fuck is going on here!?!

.pANIc.

It's not that other companies are "letting" you, they just can't do anything about it

Wrong. Check out Halo, or NWN, they force CD KEY checks even at LANs (you happy i put the "A" in caps?)....sure they can be cracked, but anything can these days.

You think that when Valve patched HL and added CD key checks to multiplay, they didn't think about doing LANs aswell?

Or how about when ID patched out CD checks for Q2?

Heck most games dont even require CD verification for LAN multiplay, yet continue to have it for all aspects of the game, why bother doing that if the intent for easy LANing wasn't there?

Legal or Not, I dont think most companies feel games need to be limited when LANs are concerned, as long as the gamer is deprived of internet gaming.

Devil, you can't force a CD key check. What are you smoking? The only thing they can do is make sure everybody isn't using the same CD key, and even that can be easily hacked out. There is no authentication server as I said earlier.

What does id patching out CD checks have anything to do with this conversation? And most online games don't require CD checks because it is irritating, and you already have to verify yourself with the server anyway.

Like I said, it has nothing to do with what "they feel," it is a matter of not being able to do a damn thing about it.

Ixiterra should be hired by Sierra. He knows everything about everything. He'd no doubt be an asset to T:V's production.

Man, nofix, can't even hide yourself for a day, can you?

:lol:

I don't even see how it's being legal or not makes a game LAN friendly.
The only criteria, as far as I see it, is pretty much the way the new "Best-seller release" of T2 does it.

-Doesn't require CD to play (Don't have to worry about downloading no-cd cracks)
-Doesn't require CD-key for offline play.
-Has all the patches built in.

So basically, a game that installs easy with minimal amount of finding things on the internet, or having an extra cd.
And for some reason, not one installation I have done with this new T2 cd has UEd yet, after almost two weeks, on a bunch of very different machines.

(Criteria three isn't going to happen on a newly released game...for the slow people)

Oh yeah, and if it could be like Warcraft 3 in that it never has a problem finding other people on the network. I mean, even when Windows can't tell that is attached to a LAN, War3 knows. MY friends and I used to use it to see if we had our hub set up right... :P

Man, Ixiterra, can't even put a little effort into your detective work? You do know everything and, for that, I love you.

:heart: :sunny:

For someone that knows shit about me you are a judgemental little booger aren't yeah. Ixiterra would you kindly get out of my thread. I have turned many people into the world of tribes at LAN parteis that I have thrown. Hell even I was introduced to Tribes 1 at a LAN. Dispite your useless opinion I have expanded the tribes community and I want to contuine to draw others into Tribes in the future. The only thing that realy makes me moronic is qouting you.

:lol:

but seriously why dont they do what they did with starsiege, normal single player/multiplayer CD and buddy cd w/ install plus ability to play online.... then again starsiege didnt sell to well...

slog I don't give a shit about typos I still look at the key board and hardly ever check a post. My typing is as sloppy as my handwritting so pisth off

Tribalwar.com: Where proper english is optional.
