Monk!
it has been my wish for a class like that since the game was announced and i am just so happy that my wish has been granted

great movie!

not just on monks for those that haven't seen it yet.
it seems to be 50% monk (solo) and 50% 4 player party (all announced classes represented)

i prefer to use a male, to represent myself in-game unless the class is gender specific

i would have thought they would gone with 6.
after seeing the gameplay videos i would think that one of the reasons for a smaller party would be the maps.
4 players seem to be just right for the map size, 8 would be mean the maps would get cramped around bridges and access roads

i don't care about the game.
never liked DC stuff, batman movies i can enjoy but not games, comics etc
plus, i never ever concern myself with "professional" game reviewers since there are just too much instances where the reviews depend on how much money they get paid

it sucked?!
The Witcher is one of the best RPGs ever made.
it is definitely gonna go down as one of the classics
and the company that made is one of the most fan friendly ever

I used to love South Park but it hasn't been funny for a long long time

A game that could have been great ruined by the people that made it.
if Bill Roper and his cronies weren't out to just skim gamers of their money and actually tried to put out a good game, it would have been one of the best games ever.
i played for a long time and got to know alot of good friends whom i still keep in touch till now.
but the game itself is fun until you got further along and it is the same tileset and mobs over and over again
i have sworn to never ever go near a game made by any of those scammers from Flagship and i ams till keeping to it

Great show.
it doesn't matter if stuff were faked, it still gives you a good idea of what to do in a survivor situation

Definitely one of the best films this year and one of the best Sci-fi films ever

Anderson Silva FTW!!!

Can't wait for the fight.
but on a side note, "Rampage" Jackson is having a crap week/month
after losing the Light Heavyweight title to Forrest, then getting arrested for a hit-and-run.
he is such a nice guy that i really feel for him

That analogy is completely off, irrelevant, and stupid. Waddlez you get an F for failure.

Agreed.

If Gretzky played today at his prime, he would still wipe the rink with the opponents behind.

Hellgateguru.com has picked up on an article from thisisgame.com, a Korean news site. I’ll just let it do the talking.

Bill Roper and Directors of Flagship Studios Bear Responsibility


- HanbitSoft making good progress in securing intellectual property rights for Hellgate: London
- HanbitSoft is preparing for a lawsuit against Bill Roper and the founding directors of Flagship Studios.
Last weekend, Flagship Studios announced that former employees were fired and HanbitSoft mentioned that all measures were proceeding as planned to the benefit of players (in Korea) to ensure that continued service of Hellgate: London would be seamless despite the current problems at its development studio. In addition, HanbitSoft holds the executives of Flagship Studios fully responsible for the incident towards the rights and interests of the users and stakeholders, including shareholders and other parties involved. HanbitSoft is considering taking strong legal action against Flagship Studios in order to take them to task for their responsibilities.
HanbitSoft does not expect to have any difficulty in securing the exclusive intellectual property rights related to Mythos.

HanbitSoft is prepared to deal with Comerica bank in a local visit to them next week in order to secure and acquire the intellectual property rights of Hellgate: London.



HanbitSoft believes that the game has nothing to do with the aforementioned bank as HanbitSoft already holds the rights to the game in Asia. HanbitSoft believes it has a strong possibility of acquiring the intellectual property of Hellgate: London in the United States and the rest of the world.
HanbitSoft stated that they will be devising a plan to continue work on the games with local (Korean) game developers in order to see the game through.
HanbitSoft’s CEO Kim Ki-Young stated, “Hellgate: London has a strong possibility of being ‘reborn’ into an excellent game with an outstanding product life,” he continued to say that “With more than 500 people at its disposal, both in-house and outsourced contracts who are veteran developers of every genre ranging from casual games to hardcore MMORPGs, we are ready to recreate Hellgate: London into an excellent game.”

He continued, “We don’t have to recruit existing developers, however if we could do so, we could shorten the time for analysis and developing for users. Although we are trying our best, since Flagship Studios doesn’t want to cooperate, we have no choice.”


According to HanbitSoft, they offered several methods and the means to keep Flagship alive in consideration of the users, but Flagship majorly lacked in effort. Hanbitsoft already has offered large amounts of investments but Flagship replied with ridiculous counter-offers and the negotiations went south. Even so, HanbitSoft continued to make investment offers which were all rejected, leading to the lay-offs of all of the Flagship employees.

HanbitSoft also stated, “Flagship not only lacked effort, but were only looking for personal gain. Firing all of the Flagship employees in order to protect the personal interests of its founding members only shows how selfish and irresponsible they are.”


Flagship Studios is an incorporated company. Hence if any problems occur within this company, it doesn’t affect the finances of any of Flagship Studios’ founders.
HanbitSoft said they are going to take legal proceedings as Flagship Studios is legally responsible for a serious breach of duty in not protecting their stockholder’s rights. The legal proceedings will be done against Flagship’s founders and management people for their intellectual property. HanbitSoft currently owns a 9.5% stake in Flagship Studios.

Uh, they had the EA's money. The game was simply rushed and they tried to milk their "sucess" on Diablo instead of making a good game.

the game wasn't rushed.
they had more than enough time to make the game good.
they just didn't spend that time well.

as i posted before FSS with HGL had the longest development time and resources of any indie titie released last year.

CD Projekt Red Studio had much much less and they made a AAA game in The Witcher

All you ad to an argument is insults.
There's nothing good.. at all.

What is your point?
You don't know anyone (personally) that worked at Flagship.
What? Have you secretly been trained to read peoples thoughts and actions just to interpret them as something just to be annoying and aggravating?

Just because they were rushed, makes you think they were conning people?

False Advertisements doesn't count as conning people?
giving promises which were never kept doesn't count as conning people?
saying one thing and doing another doesn't count as conning people?

they even conned their own distributors by saying everything is ok when everything is not.
the story goes..
the Southeast asian version is released a day earlier than the US/EU version because of time difference.

FSS knowing withheld the vital info that the game CANNOT work properly out of the box without first patching to the fable Patch 0.

thus, gamers went online played then realised that they are screwed, stuck on level 20+ and the SEA distributor, IAH had no way of fixing it as the unpatched multiplayer server had a database that does not and cannot be patched to Patch 0.

IAH's solution was a wipe (that was day 1, post launch). they referred back to FSS for permission and Bill Roper said, no.
and that FSS would solve the problem, it took 1 month more IIRC before the server were patched to Patch 0.
but the solution is not a remedy but merely a band-aid on the problem as the buggy database builds up and caused more and more problems as the days went past.

by then the US/EU servers were way ahead in terms of patches but SEA was still stuck, no subscription, no nothing. it was finally patched up to patch 0.7 months after the US/EU server but still no subscription, no additonal content, no nothing.
and at this point in time the SEA version is still at 0.7
why? becasue FSS wants more money before releasing then content (this is info from people working at IAH who would get sacked if named)

at that is just the tip of the iceberg
