Would actually be pretty neat since people could stick with titles they like for their role.

That moment when repeatedly downing a galleon's balloons with the two side flareguns on a Pyramidion.

Seriously, it feels good man.

Its a one of a kind competitive scene in this game.

Think about it. FPS titles, RTS, and DOTA stuff rely on reflexes and speed alone. This creates a huge barrier to entry into competitive scenes. I've seen the competitive guys play SC2 and they just move so blistering fast that I just always scratch my head and ask "how is that fun?"

It is a generation built upon instant gratification gaming. CoD, mobile games, and the like. People rage about games with less than 6hr storylines but often times folks don't seem to want more than that if even close to it. Can tell based on the impatience in players forming lobbies and the overuse of the quick join button.

But this, you fly or die based on your team. Takes effort, takes commitment. Some folks can't stand the idea of relying on teammates. Heck it was a slight mindset change for me from Battlefield where I do simply fight alone. Mostly because no one I know in it likes to play hardcore mode. No one talks or uses voice either. Better in those cases just to use allies as meat shields.

It does get frustrating in Guns having a fail pug crew. But what is great is...the ones who listen can quickly improve and go from fail to fantastic. Part of the problem isn't them either. Most of the time they share horror stories of bad pilots they had to endure. Folks can't really get decent in this game when they fly under pilots who park in front of hwachas.

yeah I see impatient people all the time in the lobbies, they join, wait for a minute or two at most while not even saying a word, then leave, I just don't understand them, sure, instant gratification is fun now and then, but that most games nowadays need you to basically be The Flash in the form of a gamer to be competetive just is disappointing, I like better slower-paced games like this where if being an engi you can relax if you get into a good rythm with the hull and side engines(all on the pyramidion, I love being a hullgineer on that ship.) and maybe even the balloon if the placements are right.

Basically I like that the game needs planning and jolly cooperation to do good and not just "insane haxor speed skillz"

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Borderless Windowed mode, where is it?

« on: June 10, 2013, 08:47:37 am »

Anyone who has had the misfortune of using windows should know how to look this kind of stuff up.

It's not always they remember to do it, that and very many games nowadays do not support borderless window so it is not apparent the game even can support this, I say put it in the damn options menu and be done with it.
In short: Many probably wouldn't because they'd just think the game doesn't support it whatsoever since it's not in the options menu.

It's pretty obvious that Guns of Icarus supports borderless windowed, since it is running on the Unity engine,  I am mentioning a link in my first post.

Edit link: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/108430-Borderless-window-fullscreen-windowed-mode

not everyone looks up what the engine for a game is capable of, heck, most don't care, they just look in the options and think it doesn't support borderless window if it isn't in the menu, I didn't know unity supports borderless windowed until you said it right now.

A free for all sounds like something that could be quite fun with 8 ships in total.

Go into Steam, right click on guns of icarus -> Properties -> Launch options and type in "-popupwindow"

Taadaa, Borderless window mode.

Cheers

Still is better to have it right there in the options menu because not everyone that needs the mode is gonna even know this thread right here exists.

This looks like a pretty interesting ship in layout, I'm looking forward to serving as engineer on one, maybe even pilot to see if it's one ship I can pilot without being an idiot.

so true that its the pyras, always the pyras

I've seen it happen to junkers occasionally too, and it's mostly pyra because they're the easiest to direct the guns with while flying.

More games need borderless window mode, it just is so damn useful when you have multiple screens, makes the game more stable too since you don't have to practically minimize it to do something else very shortly.

Something that's confusing me slightly with the wording in the post, the first one in this topic I mean, I get the impression that you have to buy the adventure modes or have to buy some mode before to access it, is it like that or do you just have access to all the modes when you first have bought the game? I am just confused, is all.

I've applied to the clan too, bad pilot(Might try improving sometime), fairly good engineer, gunner...depends on the guns really, decent shot though, and I remember talking with you Feast, anyway, I'm trying to join since I'm interested in both the clan and the game, that and I do like a good "nyeh"(TB style) while running around smacking engines, hull and everything else that's damaged when those two aren't in need.
