they provide you with a hots beta key also if you dont already have one.

it's good news, but omg it takes me like 3 hours to publish 5 mods and 10 maps to all these realms :(

this thread.

what?

also so you dont like the game so you intentionally played it to ruin other peoples experience? i think you have a pretty sad life if that is what you do for fun.

yea, been playing this for awhile, amazing game. already put alot more time into it then i did with diablo 3. yea. it's sluggish as shit at the beginning. but it definitely gets better and faster. you really get that feeling of getting stronger.

well it's an evolution of the hydra. it's similar yet different. sc2 lurker just looks weird, i hate it's fat head. but otherwise it's fine.

it's interesting, but fairly beyond my abilities :P

comparison shots. thanks for the input.

so for my SC2BW mod i modified the lurker, it's a basic change. i just took the hydralisk head and stuck it on there instead of the strange fat head thing it had. looks/feels alot better to me, but im after opinions. i was worried it would look too much like the hydralisk when burrowed, but it is noticeably bigger and i also added some spikes sticking out of the ground. those two plus the much large black burrow splat i think are enough.

@Kailniris2: Go

im not seeing a tight test?

@Zolden: Go

add a tight test, attach it to a bone. the error is because it's not finding a tight test. they are mandatory to export right now.

@Kailniris2: Go

create a bone and create a tight test, link everything to the bone. should work.

@michaelknives: Go

yea. problem is ALOT of people used to work at Blizzard, theres like 10 different companies running around claiming to be ex-blizzard.

torchlight is lacking in longevity however which is sad :(. always got path of exile to play instead.

well, if you add the campaign dependency. your load times will almost double. so yea. if you add dependencies that have assets. textures/models/sounds. your load time will increase (you will have to add a absolute shitload for it to matter).
