Rumor of a new unit?

[The real Batman]

AHHHH!!
New unit?!?!?
http://bitsmerf.x2servers.com/rumours.html

[JC86]

Yes Indeed.....One our wolf member is an administrator to the fan site and he was e-mailed by seed....he gave him the picture of the new unit and it is believe to be release very soon....we are hoping that since he has been working hard on this...it would be a unit and not an avatar for our tournament that we could be having soon...

so let's cross iour fingers keep you post it guys ok

[Al Caponeoni]

Oh my God.

The Second Coming of Seed is near!

:D

[DeadFishGuy]

It's fake. I know it.

[JC86]

blah.....ungreatful bastards no more info...i'm greedy now...:mad:

[Al Caponeoni]

It seems a little fake, but I doubt it.

I seriously think that Seed has finally decided to return to TAO.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, but I sure as hell hope I'm wrong.

[T3km4n]

I cant trust it.

[thrdflrmshr]

The picture of the unit on the arena is fake. It's just a copy and paste job.

[T3km4n]

well i think hes trying to say that they made the arena one but seed made the one with blue background or soemthing

[xerent]

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but take a look at the pixel resoltion on the battlefield, and compare that to the crisp, clean look of the spider.

Also note the lack of shadow.

If this is a new unit, that is NOT an authentic picture of it on the battlefield.

[The real Batman]

i hate you guys....

[Al Caponeoni]

Yes, I agree with that.

I just thought that the recipient of the image was just putting on the battlefield to show, well, what it could possibly look like.

That's the impression I got.

But other than that, I am going to believe that it is the next unit.

:)

[DeadFishGuy]

It's best you find out it's a fake now, Batman, than have your heart broken later after all the anticipation.

Al, you might wanna accept it as a fake too.

[T3km4n]

but why a spider?

[xerent]

Man you guys are gullible.

Hey, here's the next unit planned for production!

Why not a spider?

[T3km4n]

cuz it is a horrible idea to add

[paulk6]

And what would be better? A zergling? :rolleyes:

[T3km4n]

I never posted that idea, but a better idea would be something that actually fits into the medieval age the game is set on. I mean how many knights have you heard in stories killed by a spider?

[xerent]

However, to be fair, look at this.

http://www.tacticsarena.com/beast/dragontyrant.gif

Now look at this.

http://free.one.picturehost.co.uk/newunit1.bmp

What we are looking at is the joints of the spider legs, and the joints of the Dragons arms and Tail, they are remarkably similar.

[JC86]

one thing you people don't realize seed never left indeed he has answer many of e-mails....maybe i send him enough money to do so...but the resolution of the image of the spider is zoomed in like 4x...also maybe this isn't the original and it could just be a hint for the actual unit maybe u should have hope for it....u never know...also bastard how mean you have to be to batman....i told him about...one of our members has been e-mailed with the pciture by seed...so all we do is just wait and see

You're right. Very interesting.

I noticed that as well. . . I think the style of animation is very very similiar.

Like I said, I'm holding on to hope that this is the new unit.

DIVINE! ! !

:D

[Ali]

we need more furgons, furgons WROCK!

[JC86]

Finally some nicestness thank you god....That is all i was asking for...anyways we never know, maybe is just a rumor remember is on the rummor mill but we don't know...let;s hope for the best

[Lil_Flip]

Guys....think about it.......they rnt gonna make a new unit

[Cavour]

rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhht

[abyaly]

woot! i posted before this thread was closed. im usually not here at the right time to respond to threads like these

[Cavour]

Well I posted first.

[abyaly]

true, but im just happy i got to it in time.

[DeadFishGuy]

Sounds like yet another case of the Pressing-New-Thread-Instead-of-Post-Reply sydrome.

Nurse! 100 cc's of IQ! Stat!

[thrdflrmshr]

This would be a great oppurtunity to use the "Merge Thread" option.

EDIT: From Lil_Flip's post to this point has been merged. Lil_Flip obviously hit the wrong button. Sorry for the confusion, person who is reading this at a much later date! The thread continues below from DeadFishGuy's post.

[DeadFishGuy]

OK, the picture of the spider inthe arena is fake, but it might just be a unit.

This is BIG.

I hope it is a unit, even if it means I'm proven wrong about it being a hoax.

[T3km4n]

I posted before you Cavour

[DivineRight]

For the record, I have received nothing, no word about a new unit in the making yet. This of course doesn't mean that I have stopped my ever persistant annoyance of Seed to make one though.

No spiders on the way that I know of. I hate spiders anyhow, why a spider? Why not a little girl unit that does 100 damage and has 500 life? Wouldn't that be more humiliating? To lose to an army of little girls!

Hahahahaha:D :D

[Glamdring]

There are quite a few GL'ers that lose to at least one big girl quite often ;).

[BlackSyphon]

(yes, I am skeptical...)

OMFG, not this last post thing again...well, just to be courteous, you guys can have it...:D

[ArcPaladinZero]

Hmm... I'm not going to jump to either side I would like to see a new unit. I hope Seed is still alive and all and if one does come out I just might upgrade to a gold account, not that I'll play but just to support the site.

[DKR]

You said it :rolleyes:

[theburning]

That rumour's page is absolutely hilarious!
We need to start something like that !!

[Serge]

As for the unit, I know it's fake. What kind of depth would a spider add to the game? No matter how big it gets a knight would smush a spider like a bug.

[BlackSyphon]

I know, dont we? Like, post your unheard of crap here so we can make you look dumb, I know OP would have oh so much fun in that section:D

[theburning]

It would have to be that you can't post stuff about yourself...
The idea is its 'rumours'
It could be fun I think.

[DKR]

I was looking through the head lines to the site and came across the idea of the tournament. I looked at the tournament rules and I came across this:

Unit Restrictions
The following units may only be used:
- 3 Knights
- 1 Pyros
- 1 Mud Golem
- 1 Beast Rider
- 1 Enchantress
- 1 Cleric
- 1 Lightning Ward
- 1 Barrier Ward
- 1 Witch
- 1 Scout
- 1 Assasin
- 1 Frost Golem
- 1 Dragon
- 1 Furgon
- 1 DSM
- 1 Stone Gollem
***RUSHES ARE NOT ALLOWED!!!***


Doesn't look special no ?(note legends only have 1 scout) apart from only allowing ONE pyro so you can't bomb either -.-' when suddenly I saw the bottom. Rushes are not allowed? Define a rush and then state why you can't use it in a competitive game?!

Silly fake people

[T3km4n]

Faking themselves around

what if it took up 4 squares and could permanetly immobilize any piece with their venom and web wrappings... arg! I would be so damn scared against it, and walking around it would take ages:)

[Serge]

A rumor page would be nifty...who to run it? That rumor page is independently run by whoever runs that clan's website no?

[The real Batman]

from who showed me this said that seed e-mailed him the picturs.. and said post it on the rumour mill.. it's just a rumour.. and i think a spider unit would own.

[JC86]

ok DivineRight just because you don't get a heads up about a new unit doesn't mean this is a bluff i only release the info and yes my Wolf Brother was e-mail by seed about this....The picture is zoomed in about 4 times so yes it may look fake...another thing maybe seed is just showing a sketch of it but is actually better or instead he is just giving hints hints hints of what might actually be the unit he is releasing....i mean shit i have giving enough money and i know tons of people plus he makes a profit out of here, he knows is about freaking time to do something new, and you have to admit it too:mad:

[xyxaxyz2]

How many times has this website faked this before?

A lot.

And I highly doubt that the next unit is going to be a spider. Who likes spiders?

[drakonfire]

i have a friend who loves spiders... thats besides the point though

the point is that MAYBE seed is still alive and working, and if we get a new units that doesnt add much depth, hey, at least its a new unit... lets hope, shall we?

[theburning]

They did have the DSM and the beast rider on there.
People shouldn't be quite this skeptical.
It is possible!

But I'm scared of spiders...I'll be too afraid to play :(

[JC86]

W/e w/e anyways if get a unit...We be the first ones to try it :)

[max2k106]

although getting a new unit would be exiting, i would LOVE to know its abilities and attributes, i think that all the units seed has created are all levelled out and the game is perfect the way it is

[JC86]

latest screen shot of it...with a bad shadow


http://free.one.picturehost.co.uk/Beast%20rider.bmp

yeah i know it saysy beast rider but i mess up when i save it so...

[DeadFishGuy]

Once again, it's a fake pic.

Same problem as before: The Arena is pixellated but the Spider is crystal clear.

There is the possibility that it is just Seed estimating what it will look like on the arena, but I have my suspitions. Dispite that, I sincerely hope it's really a new unit.


And what's so wrong with a spider? Spiders might not fit into the game, but I'm sure Seed is able to find something he can use a spider for. I'm thinking something to do with encasing a unit in webbing. It would stop a unit from moving, but let is attack and block. But that's just my idea. I bet Seed wouls have a better idea of it's abilities.

A rumour page would be interesting. Useful, I'm not so sure about, but it would definitely be funny and interesting.

It could replace the "Screenshots Coming Soon!" page. That's just a waste of a page and a link.

[DivineRight]

JC86, I'm not dogging you or your source, I'm just letting you know the information from my end. I doubt anyone here gives him more money than I do so if there is any news about a new unit it would make more sense for him to inform me first.

Then again this wouldn't be the first time he has created and planned on releasing it without my knowledge.

[Fallen & Forgot]

What? did he not tell you about the furgon or something?

[LondonJack]

Please stop spreading false rumors, the next unit is going to be the Paladin (http://bitsmerf.x2servers.com/images/rumours/paladin.jpg)

[max2k106]

wow, that looks like an exciting unit, it makes knights very pretty too!!!:D

[BlackSyphon]

I would love one of those...I wonder wy he has only 9 units, it would be so nasty with 2 clerics, unless that witch already burnt the other one...:rolleyes:

[DeadFishGuy]

Perhaps the paladin counts as 2 units?

[BlackSyphon]

but if you notice, there are 8 of em already:D What work, but that chanty could hurt...no BW tho...

du:)

[h()()t]

well meby my retirment will end sooner than i thoguh.

[truffleshfl]

What does that have to do with this topic h()()t?

[h()()t]

I have qwite the game untill a new unit comes out.

[truffleshfl]

Oh, sorry.

[h()()t]

np...maby you did not see my post.

[truffleshfl]

I think this should be the new unit: click here (http://img18.exs.cx/img18/317/Furgon_Tyrant.jpg)

[h()()t]

:rolleyes: but cool. what will it do.

[DeadFishGuy]

It'll breathe shrubs at units.

[truffleshfl]

And teleport.

[JC86]

did u see the scout with the wings is pretty tight too hehe

[truffleshfl]

No, where can I find it?

[JC86]

in the legends fan site, search maybe under old stuff and everything

[Itzphill]

i do not believe there is a new unit comin out. and thats from an unofficial mod.

[MANSLAUGHTER1]

that will be cool but very weird

[Itzphill]

i still say no new unit comin, but im not sure

[Elentari]

Itz, we get that you're a so called "unofficial mod", thank you for informing us. We. Don't. Care.

[abyaly]

[Bottle]

Pah, the only mods around here are Aro, snarr, xerent, theburning and Ach.:D

[BlackSyphon]

seriously, jeffery really deserves to be a mod...and he would be the first one from Banff:)

[roamingstorm]

is ach a mod, i didnt think he was, and al should be one, the first gangster mod

[abyaly]

Ach uses verbal moderation. Serge is along for the ride.

[Solonor]

i have made a thread in www.taoforums.com its the forum for the legends server and all ive been hearing is its a lie and there is no new unit there is alot of things on the rumor list that arnt true so there is a very small chance its true on it it says a person named wayfaerer has 4 scouts and thats not true, seed has been very busy with a new job cos he does not have enought money to fund the legends server it seems likes hes back on track now there is drops and everything but still there is no time i think for him to make a new unit

[Solonor]

damn elentari when u and me were in the darken elves u were so nice and sweet what happened

[Jeffery]

Until hell freezes over and a new unit suddenly appears, I will not listen to rumors.
Rumors are like rear ends, they stink!

[doubledown]

Shameful bump...without the shame

Any new news on the new unit? Anybody?

[Jeffery]

The only news is....

There is no new unit. it is a hoax!

[truffleshfl]

How long did it take you to figure that out?

[Jeffery]

Just about the time i saw the title of the thread.

[xyxaxyz2]

Will there ever be?

[ck1]

Divine, is seed actually working on anything? You of all people should know.

[drakonfire]

that was DR position last i heard (earlier in this thread)

[ck1]

Well, what IS he doing? If he isn't makin a new unit, then what the heck is he doing?
My guess is trying to get Mofunzone to stop hosting tactics.

[Jeffery]

No. My thinking leads me to say he has simply moved on to other things. Seed is like an artist who gets pationate in doing something, then gets bored and never looks back.
He grew out of TAO, and tired of the constant ragging.

[Omega_Paladin]

DR is AWOL.

Seed has abandoned TAO to the winds.

There is not going to be any more new units kiddies.

Eventually the servers will go untended and crash one by one with no one to repair them.

The forum will be able to survive a while longer due to the lower maintence I imagine this server requires.

But it too will fail and it will be like TAO never existed.

You will all move on and forget all that happened here.

The complex interactions and social fabric (Did I just say that with a straight face?) that make up this forum will be rent to pieces and lost.

This place is not eternal.

The end is near.

[DeadFishGuy]

Perhaps DR could take over production of TAO.

[Duffman]

Perhaps DR could take over production of TAO.

Assuming DR has advanced knowledge in flash programming which he doesn't and that he isn't even allowed to modify the program if he could without the permission of Seed. I'm afriad OP is right. The end is nigh.

The only possible solution is see is DR having buy full rights of the program and then hire a developer to work on the game. I doubt DR is in any position to do this in the moment. So perhaps a better marketing campaign is in order.

[F34R Eric]

or we make our own version! i was working on one called trojan_server_spybot.exe if anyone wants it email me :-x

I called it Tactical Area On The Internet, units such as Pyrodude, Light Magic Witch, Super Dragon, Guy With Arrow, Machine Gun, and AIM Icon.

[xyxaxyz2]

I'm beginning to think this is the only possible way anything will ever be added.

[doubledown]

What about advertising? If Seed gets google to sponser a side bar ad window alongside TAO, wouldnt that help generate revenue and thus interest in updating?

[xyxaxyz2]

Only if Seed cares about money, which is not evidenced by his actions.

[g-rad10109]

awsome a spider shibby

[ICevil]

pathetic...having n00bs eating out of ur hand...making ppl believe these crap

[ck1]

I can't believe seed betrayed us.....

[max2k106]

*cries*

[h()()t]

DAM YOU SEED. I trusted you. But no YOU FALIED US.

[max2k106]

well . . . things change, wadaya gonna do?

[Jeffery]

This has been discussed before too.

Seed cares about money. He still makes money from TAO. He gets his cut of all our monthly payments.

And DR is not AWOL. He is on the servers just about everyday, and scans the forums too. Now Bills, he IS AWOL. When was the last time anyone saw him? I wish he would come back. DR deserves help.

[Omega_Paladin]

I like this guys idea.

Post count +1

Actually DR is around, probably just trying to keep the system working. Too busy running around plugging all the leaks to upgrade anything. But whatever, Seed is probably smoking crack with some ex-supermodels in a cheap Ohio hotel right now and I'm not hedging any bets on the game getting anything added to it. And so with any kind of long term player leaving because of this, even the continual stream of new players won't pay for the upkeep because no one will stick around long enough to buy a gold account, which are probably a small percentage of the income (the ads serve their purpose here) but the tiny trickle of hits on the site will cause that source to dry up too. Then the universe collapses in upon its self and the sun goes senile. But what do I know.

[truffleshfl]

The last time I saw Bills was when we had our first rev. tourny.

[Jeffery]

☺♪♫


Time to whistle and walk slowly away.

[xyxaxyz2]

Making money isn't the same as caring about money. If Seed cared about money he wouldn't keep legends running and he would either upgrade the game more actively or sell the rights.

That sounds like a totally cool game! Is there also a giant wooden horse for the Trojans?

*sigh*

Now that's a sad attempt. :rolleyes:
Maybe if I knew... nothing whatsoever about computers I might possibly consider downloading that.

[Utamaro]

Yay new unit. :) er watch it come out after I lsoe my godl or something.

[Jeffery]

I would predict it coming out after everyone loses their gold.

[max2k106]

lol, i would laugh, then i would hunt down seed and shove something up his ass:D

[F34R Eric]

Yea, arc, that was sarcasm, the programming behing a game like this is way to time consuming for someone not being paid. Also, i referenced a virus as the filename. ;-)
