![]() ![]() The track file player allows the pilot to access recorded files and view them from any perspective and at varying speeds. Save the file then access it later via the track file player. Any time you fly offline you can choose to record your mission when you exit the mission. Use the Mission RecorderThe track file recorder is another great way to learn maneuvers. This can sometimes be complicated where custom skins are in use or there are large numbers of pilots in the air. Once you find a pilot who is on the scoreboard, note the color and number of his aircraft. Points are also awarded for ground targets. 100 points are scored for each kill, and additional points are added for landing at a friendly base. Ignore the ones who show “0” and find the pilot who has 100 or more points. ![]() If you aren’t sure, just hit the “S” key on your keyboard to pull up the current scores. It won’t take you long to find out who this is-they tend to survive a bit longer than others and their gunnery is usually fairly accurate. The trick is to move around the available fighters until you find a pilot who seems to know what he or she is doing. Sit back with your coffee or beer and watch the fun! Dang, why don’t they charge admission for this? When you have found a pilot you can rotate the view with your mouse, or use F6 to toggle a pilot to target view. Next, use the SHIFT F2 combination to find friendly fighters, or CTL F2 combination to find enemy fighters. If you enter an active dogfight area, choose a base that is further from the action so your parked aircraft won’t be shot to pieces while you sit there. To do this online, one only has to find a mission and then select an aircraft, and then leave it parked somewhere. I recommend that a beginner find some articles on air combat maneuvers (there are several on this website) and then observe some fights in progress to begin to get an understanding of the dynamics. IL-2 makes this simple to do, and observing an experienced pilot is a great way to learn the ropes. It may be a bit harder than it looks, but most people can begin to grasp the basics when they watch a pilot maneuver in a combat environment. Inevitably, where I am managing to fight and survive, I get comments like, “It looks easy…but I have a feeling it must be hard,” or, “How did you do that?” When I then narrate a maneuver while flying it, the lights begin to go on. If I’m lucky I’m doing well, and not hitting the silk every five minutes-an embarrassing occurrence when you are trying to impress your friends! Learning as an ObserverOn occasion a friend will stop by my office during the day and find that I am online in a cooperative or dogfight mission. Let’s begin by discussing the advantages of such training features. It is the realism of the simulation that makes it such a powerful training device, enhanced by such features as the mission recorder and the ability to observe other pilots in flight from external views. But the truth is deeper, as is often the case. IL-2 Sturmovik (IL-2) has a reputation as an unforgiving WWII combat simulator. This article will briefly survey more of the common questions, suggest a useful configuration for beginners, and also discuss online scoring. Over the last six months I have addressed many of these questions through articles here, but not all of them. Crossing barriers that even the developers over at 1C:Maddox Games couldn't imagine.How Can I Do That?The most common questions I receive from novice air combat pilots have to do with choice of aircraft, mechanics of online play, and air combat maneuvers and gunnery. The community that surrounds IL-2 1946 is a demonstration of what a dedicated fanbase can provide to a game in terms of support, creativity and talent. Do not be frustrated if you fail an installation, the people over on the SAS 1946 forum can help you. Because of this getting into adding mods to the base game can prove troublesome. Usually mods come with their instructions but the majority rely on someone already having knowledge about the modding process. ![]() Many things have to be done by hand, there’s not an automatic installation program available to assist. There is one thing you should consider if you want to mod this game for yourself: it is not very easy. ![]() All created through dedication by the community. How they have worked within the limitations of a now 12 year old game, taking it far beyond what it once was from 220~aircraft on the standard release to now over 310 playable models. What amazes me about the IL-2 1946 modding community in general is the dedication and passion that they put into their creations. ![]()

![]() ![]() The serac has been climbed in the past via a summer rock route, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s never been climbed via a pure ice/mixed line. The huge serac above the north face of Temple, where the classic The Greenwood/Jones climbs, is constantly changing, with huge chunks falling off each summer. Then again, possibly it’s been newly formed through changing serac activity?” Petrauskas shared the news and said, “It seems too much of a striking line to not have been climbed before, in which case we’d love to know more info re this great route. Two days later, while coming to investigate a variation, we ran from avalanches and got dusted, hence the name, Whyte Noise.”Ī post shared by Austin Goodine week, Chris Petrauskas, Taylor Sullivan climbed “a beautiful six- to 10-pitch” new route on the north face of Mount Temple above the town of Lake Louise.

Storm Creek, which has risen to popularity over the past few years thanks to the early-to-form ice, already has a number of climbs in, including Shocking Alternative. Over the past few weeks, a handful of those established ice and mixed lines have formed, as well as a few news ones.

With the forming of a Fellowship to help guide Frodo along his path to Mordor to destroy the ring where it was created, all races have put their fate and faith in their newfound Hobbit friend. With the assistance of a few fellow mischievous Hobbits (Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin), Pippin Took (Billy Boyd) and Merry Brandybuck (Dominic Monaghan)), Frodo sets out to keep the ring safe, with little knowledge of the true powers that are in his control, and the great dangers he is about to encounter. Evil forces have set out to reacquire their master's long lost possession. And while the ring has laid fairly dormant in the sixty years it resided in Bilbo's pocket, an evil stirring in Mordor has awoken the ring. One birthday, upon the guidance of his old friend Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo bequeaths his possessions to his nephew, so he may live out his life creating a novel of his adventures. His uncle Bilbo (Ian Holm) has led a life quite the opposite of Frodo's, full of adventure, the defining moment coming with his acquisition of a mysterious, powerful ring. War led to the defeat of Sauron, though the greed, treachery, and lust for power of mankind prevented its destruction, and soon after, it was lost for over two thousand years.įrodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) didn't think himself much a hero, or much of anything for that matter, as his life consists solely in the safety of his home, the Shire, along with the other furry footed Hobbits. One more, dubbed the One Ring, crafted by Sauron in the volcanic Mount Doom of Mordor, to control them all. Nine Rings of Power were granted to the kings and rulers of the world. From the origins of the rings, to the splitting of a group of kindred spirits who set out to free the world, from humble beginnings to great expectations. A journey that will take nearly ten hours time in human years, unless one pauses to take a burrito break. A journey that will cross the whole of Middle Earth, with every inhabitant affected by the crusade of the few, the proud, the Fellowship of the Ring.

Tolkien, the three part sequel to 'The Hobbit' known as 'The Lord of the Rings.' But fate smiled upon the tubby (at the time, at least) native, as he was given the reins to adapt the literary giant from famed author J. The New Zealand born filmmaker's previous works had been more wild and imaginative cult offerings, like 'Braindead' (known in the States as 'Dead Alive') and ' The Frighteners,' not big budget special effects laden blockbusters. Peter Jackson didn't seem like the most natural pick when selecting a director for one of the most expensive and expansive film series ever created. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer may complete his quest. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. 'The Return of the King' - The final battle for Middle-earth begins.

![]() ![]() Also, there’s potential for more loot and gold when in a party via the Adventurer’s Luck buff: 15% Increased Gear and Gold Luck when near other players. This is a way to still help others by working together to clear zones and potentially tough enemies. For example, 4/7, if the area scales your item to four instead of its’ normal seven. When you’re in an area below the level of your gear (as shown at the top right corner), hovering over your items will show the scaled level. It doesn’t matter if you’re too high of a level for a zone as the game scales your gear to the area. If you’re looking to help friends or other players by giving them gear, there’s still a way to help them. It’s worth noting that the Steam Early Access page doesn’t make any mention of plans for trading. It’s still possible the developer may add some method of player trading at a later time since the game is currently in early access. However, this doesn’t appear to be true after some testing to make sure. Developer Echtra Games hasn’t integrated a way to trade with other players, unlike the previous entry in the franchise.Ĭertain websites claim that players can trade between party members exclusively in Torchlight 3 at forts. Portal over to the Shacknews Torchlight 3 page for more guides to assist you on your quests.If you’re wondering how to trade with others in Torchlight 3, the answer is simple. Now that you’ve got the basics of inviting friends and starting a co-op session, you can get on with saving the land in Torchlight 3. A party can have up to four players, which results in quite a lot of chaos and hilarity. Playing co-op in Torchlight 3 is a lot of fun. Also, it appears that players only get XP when alive and hitting enemies, so it’s not an ideal way to level up a character. There are 3 versions of Champions: Elites who usually appear in small. These Champions a harder to kill and can come with some extra abilities but they award more loot and sometimes enchanting recipes too. Occasionally you will come across some champions, those are indicated by a colored icon under their feet. Speaking to the point about the player levels, a drastically under-levelled character will have a tough time surviving in a player's world that is a higher level. Monsters in Torchlight Frontiers are creatures hostile to the player character. It’s a good idea to play through the story of the player that is earlier in the game, that way you’re all at the same point. For example, if you’re already at McTyre’s Cove part of the story and they’re still in the Trevail Point quests, they won’t make any progress. ![]() And thats everything weve got on Torchlight 3s pets. Screeching Sun: Your pet cries out, with a chance to stun enemies for 2 seconds. It’s worth noting that your friend will enter at their current level and will not progress their story unless you’re both at the same point. These abilities are triggered automatically by your pet, target your foes, and have a cooldown. Here they must click “Accept” to join your co-op session. Your friend will have a section called “Pending Invitation”. The other players will find the invite under the Social tab, in the Party section.Īs for where an invite goes in Torchlight 3, it can be found under the Social tab in Party. This works best in the hub worlds such as Trevail Point, McTyre’s Cove, and Echo Landing. Your friend should receive an invite.Īlternatively, you can also invite any players that are nearby. This can be done by clicking the Invite button and then typing their name as it appears in Steam. If your Steam friend isn’t appearing in the list, use the Party tab (the first one) to search their name. The host will want to invite a friend through the Social blade by clicking "Party". Click the “Party” button – this sends a party invite.Once loaded in, open the Social tab by pressing the P key.Select Multiplayer from the main menu and choose your character or make a new one.But, to get your Steam friend’s into your game, follow these steps: It is developed by American studio Echtra Games and published by Perfect World Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in October 2020. The process of getting into a co-op session, though, isn’t super clear, as there isn’t a button labelled “Invite”. Torchlight III (formerly Torchlight Frontiers) is an action role-playing game and the third game in the Torchlight series. Playing Torchlight 3 on PC with friends is one of the best ways to enjoy the game. However, for those on PC, it might not be immediately clear which button to press to send your friends an invite. ![]() Whether you’re on PC or console, playing Torchlight 3 with a group of friends is an easy process.

Movement is controlled either by touch or virtual D-pad, the latter of which I found to be much more responsive. The actual battles in Inotia 2 are extremely well-designed, and there's a lot of fun and satisfaction to be had by taking part in them, especially later in the game, when you'll be managing three characters at once, each with their own complete skill sets. Touch navigation of the menus makes accessing all of the options, information, and character customization methods easy to get to. While the game does limit the number of items that players can carry along with them on the field, it also offers plenty of room for expansion, potentially to quadruple the number of inventory slots available at the start of the game. This is not the case in Inotia 2 NPCs are so still that they could sometimes be mistaken as parts of the environment.Īddressing a common problem with both its predecessor and other games in its genre (I'm looking at you, Zenonia), Inotia 2 has a fantastic menu/inventory system. Since the NES era, NPCs have always had small movement animations, just to make it clear to the player that they're alive. Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are scattered about environments and towns with quests to give and generic lines to spew, as is par for the course in games of this genre, but they all seem dead due to their complete lack of animation. It does not matter if you choose to play as a male or female character in this game, because everyone in the game will refer to you as though you are male, regardless of actual gender. This is all probably due to the fact that the developers, Com2uS, are from Korea and it seems like quite a bit may have been lost in translation. The story is cliche-filled and poorly written, with bad dialogue making the already uninteresting conversations between characters only bearable because of the ability to quickly tap your way through them. If plot is your main concern when delving into action-RPGs, Inotia 2 is going to disappoint you. ![]() Item customization is another feature that adds to the depth of Inotia 2, as it allows players to attach enchantments (or upgrades) to their weapons and equipment via scrolls found through various methods in the game. This allows for experimentation with each of the five character classes in a single playthrough, regardless of which character you chose at the beginning of the game to be your main. Over the course of the game, players will be able to hire up to two mercenaries, which they can then take with them on all their quests, level up and customize as they grow, and actually manually control while in battle. All of the regular trimmings like a skill tree that you can use to customize your character as he/she levels or collectible loot is there, but it's the mercenaries system that really sets Inotia 2 apart. Progress is made through the completion of main-story quests and the leveling up of your character, a concept that should be familiar to many gamers. Games like Dungeon Hunter and (more similarly) Zenonia have already pioneered the action-RPG genre on the platform, but Inotia 2 makes up for that by being more polished, more accessible, and arguably deeper than any that came before it. Inotia 2 isn't really bringing anything new to the table, even in terms of the app store. The first game in the franchise was plagued with a terrible menu/inventory system, boring battles, and extremely limited RPG elements, so is Inotia 2 (pronounced "In-oh-tee-ya," for those curious) even worth taking a glance at? After spending some considerable time in the world of this sequel, I can confidently say that it's a completely different game than its predecessor in all of the best ways. With the slightly bad taste of The Chronicles of Inotia still fresh in the minds of some gamers, the announcement of Inotia 2: A Wanderer of Luone was met with some understandable concerns. ![]() |
