Agreed, plus not cash cow because they haven't put out a product yet. Or analysis paralysis because that implies some design beyond the fever dreams of a human thumb.

No it's definitely cash cow. Their product is dreams. Their enemy is playable software.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

everyone should start pushing the narrative that citizens should be thankful for smart and his goons because without them they would still be playing arena commander

Let's be honest, even if it was "fixed, it was probably someone just editing the game's files to remove the headbob.

It's not related to cryeninge, as much as it is the gameplay design and supporting server structures.
MMOs typically have a global limit on how many actions can happen at once/that the servers need to process at once in the form of a global cooldown on your skills. (Never played Archage, but I assume it's the same as WoW, and every other MMO on the planet in this regard).
They also don't rely (*Typically) on things like tracking projectiles in flight at all (You cast fireball at a target, the client is entirely responsible for drawing that projectile speeding from your hand to the chosen target), and don't really need to worry about doing stuff like host state rewind latency calculations to see if you actually made that headshot or not. (This is a little simplifications, MMOs do care about latency- Just look at stuff like a spell interrupt going off in time correctly, for example).

TLDR Typical MMO combat is far far simpler and easier to manage server side than typical FPS or god forbid sim-type combat with big piles of weapons all spewing rapid fire projectiles that need to be tracked and so on.

Octopode posted:

The instance limit is not an inherent limit based on CryEngine, it's dependent on the supporting server and client communications code and supporting infrastructure capabilities, which are generally unique to each company's implementation.

Most traditional MMOs also have a much higher limit to how quickly any given action can be expected to be resolved between the client and server (e.g., WoW's global cooldown), which gives a much higher tolerance on the server side than something like SC, which needs to keep its server calculations and checking fast enough to feel real-time. If you know you only need to keep each connected client updated once every second or so, that's a much easier problem to deal with than needing to keep every connected client updated every 1/60th of a second (or faster).

Remember the letter from CR as a response to the escapist when his kid got doxed? Well in it he talks about a guy with a twitter account @istheguy (now gone from twitter) who posted all that information. @istheguy was amongst other things a huge fan of Lizzy Finnegan, the writer of that hitpiece on escapist to the point that even CR (wrongly) had the idea they were the same person.
Ok so now it may get seriously weird to the point of conspiracy theory. @istheguy was said to be the same person as 'pressfarttocontinue'
Pressfarttocontinue is better known as the stalker of youtuber Dodger from polaris. Pressfarttocontinue is also known as 'Nick Monroe' -> "Nick Monroe, the creator of YouTube channel PressFartToContinue"
And a guy named 'Nick Monroe' in turn is now employed by the escapist and a fan of Lizzy Finnegan
Now this is all circumstantial, the only thing that may point to a direct link between @istheguy and Nick Monroe that I have seen is this picture that was posted on the escapist forums and the link between Nick Monroe and pressfarttocontinue may even be just a case of namesakes. But I feel this is a bit too much of a coincidence.
The timing of events is also... interesting with 'Nick Monroe's' first article being on october 8th a week after the whole escapist article debacle.

They're idiots. It doesn't prove anything related to the game being 64-Bits. In fact, it's not. They're still confusing 64-Bit engine with 64-Bit positioning.

1) They need to know the distance of the ship to the Covalex

2) They need to know the expanse (range) of the region

3) Even though you can see the ship moving, that's normal and is nothing ground breaking since it's being rendered within the observer's PoV.

Aside from that, they are both in the same region co-ordinates, so I don't understand why they don't expect to see the ship moving through space

Like I get you can dislike the guy for what he says or how, that makes sense and is fine. Plenty of people here both detest him, and also find him to be alright (see: Slowbeef etc.) and that's cool, because you know that's how normal humans are.
