Alaric.us: Hello, there!

It'll be good to have a community manager who is both present and active. The last one didn't last but hopefully you will. Personally I'm looking forward to the uniform application of the rules, where infractions are handled based on what they are, not on who committed them.

Either way, where in England are you from, I wonder if I've been there. Oh, and what Blizzard games are you playing these days? I'm in the beta of BfA right now and it's shaping up rather nicely.
I'm from the North East!, Newcastle to be exact. Kinda like Winterfell from Game of Thrones (we even have a wall) but without as many decapitations.

I'm only playing Diablo 2 at the moment (still) but I am very much looking forward to going back to war against the Alliance when Battle for Azeroth launches...and then all the fun grinding it will surely bring!

kohlrak: Maybe i could take the gag off ol' Ulfric, then. XD

Alaric.us: That picture is way small. You'll need some serious pixel art skills.

Do you have such skills?

If so, let's talk. I might be hiring an artist for my next project in the foreseeable future.
I thought about adding a little blue, but no, i don't have such skills. I just got the idea from all the drama lately, talking about how games have politics to them, and how political discussion might've gotten limited to games only, then realized that a gagged ulfric was the perfect one for me.

If you need art instruction, though, I do know of a really good title for the 3ds that taught me how to draw. I'm just terrible at it, but not as bad as when they made me take art class in school (that was horrific). I'm pretty good at drawing evil anime sharks and that's about it.

Haha, yea, I think I can safely give up on trying to learn how to draw. Not a chance I can find 10,000 hours to get good at it, so I'll stick to coding and paying artists and musicians. So far I had great luck with them. The game I recently released is pretty mediocre at best (shitty really) but everyone commented on how awesome the music was and the art very much holds its own as well.

You might like a system i came up with for my OS Kernel and also SDL2. Here's the original (from my kernel). You can also see my awesome "magnifying effect" skills i pulled off in gimp.

Your chat is private; is that intentional?

Sometimes, it's necessary to report a post that violates the forum rules, and in most cases, posting it publicly is not a good solution. Could you please open your chat so that can be done?

(Also, long term there should be a dedicated system for reporting violations. The "report as spam" feature is not suitable for this purpose, and it might actually do more harm than good in its current form.)

Nope, never been there. =)

Oh man, you are the Horde? How disappointing! Oh well. The Alliance has the best zone ever this expansion, you'll love it when you see it. And I gotta say Diablo II is one of my least favorite Blizzard games. I remember being so disappointed.

Did you hear the rumors about a new Diablo game, though? Would be nice if they took some pointers from Path of Exile and Grim Dawn, but I'm curious either way.

It's a nice city, mostly!

I started on the Alliance back upon release but found my home in the Horde! Disappointed!? Okay, I feel that's worth a ban ;)

I saw the news! i'm curious but not too hyped, Diablo 3 didn't quite do it for me i'm afraid!

Diablo 3 was pretty bland, except for the cinematics, which were outright orgasmic. I bet Blizzard learned a lot from that and Diablo 4 will be done differently, though. Well, at least I hope that's how it'll play out. We shall see.

What about HotS? You play that? I switched to it some years ago even though I worked on (though, not in programming capacity) and played Dota 2 for 4 years. To me HotS is a better game, though I play very much on and off. Same as WoW really.

What we REALLY need, though, are fully remastered Warcraft 1 and 2. Especially 2.

Linko90: First thing I’d like to say is do not be afraid to approach me
I think we're more concerned about it being the other way around, friend.

Good luck, amigo, and may you not flee in terror or perish in agony like those before you.

I indeed did play HOTS! played since beta but found myself wanting a break lately. It feels like Blizzard isn't too sure what to do with the game if I'm honest. I still enjoy it though, very much a more quick and fun moba compared to others on the market.

As for remasterings, give me a sweet full set of Warcraft 2 with the editing tools and hell yeah!

Welcome to the GOG community.

In general we are nice people here (I still think this community is one of the best) but be prepared that it also won't always be easy since several people are disappointed in GOG for several reasons - some unfortunately even have already left GOG. I still think GOG is great but I am also well aware that several things would need finxing or improving.

You asked about the forum so simple feedback:
Hyperlinks are still (since several months) often completely broken. It's also impossible to use special characters like ä,ö,ü - which are quite common in German - inside hyperlinks. So my first wish would be that GOG would fix these finally.

Another issue here in the GOG foum sometimes is the use of extremely bad language (I am talking about racist insults and such) which sometimes do go unpunished. I am not talking about calling someone "idiot" but sometimnes discussions can get to extremes including language. I know that GOGs policy in general is free speech and I appreciate this very much. However imo there should be boundaries and people who cross those should be punished to keep this an enjoyable forum.

That#s all that is on my mind for now. Again, welcome and enjoy :)

Hey Marko, thanks for expressing your concerns. I can say now with 100% confidence racism will not be tolerated. If a user is found saying anything of the sort there will be swift consequences.

Swearing, as long as it's not used every few words will find itself on the wrong end of moderation too. That does not mean an F-bomb here and there will get you banned, just don't swear every couple of words!



Thank you for the welcome and I hope I cleared up some things for yourself and others :)

I actually created a special page on my website in PHP to redirect, since gog doesn't like ~ in URLs, either. GOG just doesn't like alot in the URLs. If you have a website that allows PHP code, i could probably write up something quick similar to my page that allows the redirects and would allow you to "encode the url" to something that gog actually likes.
