Stratics Veteran
I have organized, somewhat, last Saturday's Town Hall and will bring subjects here for further discussion. As the players Saturday learned, the devs want to know our thoughts and wishes. So please feel free to contribute!

PVP

Dreadz LOCAL a pvp map would be nice but I think content and getting more spawn points on the maps would be more priority

Auriel LOCAL are we talking open world PvP or say a Capture the Flag map?

Admin LOCAL yeah we have two new overland maps in the works, but I still want to get the existing maps more dense with content first

Gremror LOCAL There's a blog post about PvP dreadz

nimor LOCAL mm open world pvp need a real world low system preety hard to do i think

nimor LOCAL but i think we all will like a pvp map

Auriel LOCAL I like the idea of team pvp game maps, but I really don't know much about it

Dreadz LOCAL they are fun if the maps are small

Admin LOCAL it's really not set up to do big scale PvP, and I fear it will attract a different kind of player than a more social-oriented PvE grouping game. so I'm not too excited about open world pvp, though if we get enough players to do multiple server shards, that gets more interesting

Dreadz LOCAL large pvp maps people get tired of running around easily

Gremror LOCAL Yeah, I'm with the admin on PvP tbh

Auriel LOCAL then there is the question of looting and griefing..

Dreadz LOCAL I would say we need more mob spawnsI would say we need more mob spawns

nimor LOCAL mm what about a collosoum ?

Auriel LOCAL but I do like team Pvp and also conflictive RP

nimor LOCAL like a doul system

Holya LOCAL I've not hooowl for long, but I feel as though the most fitting kind of pvp for a game like this would be a bountry hunter/hide and seek map?I've not played for long, but I feel as though the most fitting kind of pvp for a game like this would be a bountry hunter/hide and seek map?

Holya LOCAL like, a relatively large map, with valuables of some kind for players to gather gr some waylike, a relatively large map, with valuables of some kind for players to gather in some way

Holya LOCAL and other players would have an insentive to howl the, for loot, or perhaps the pvp zone could be owned by an NPC who'd pay bounty hunters to get rid of poachers etcand other players would have an insentive to kill the, for loot, or perhaps the pvp zone could be owned by an NPC who'd pay bounty hunters to get rid of poachers etc















DreadzLOCALyup they were awsome

14 Jun 2014 15:42:28DreadzLOCALI would agree nimor

14 Jun 2014 15:42:37DreadzLOCALpvp has a huge calling

14 Jun 2014 15:42:42nimorLOCALu need to have some pvp arena before the KS i think this will get it polish and will attract allot of ppl

14 Jun 2014 15:42:57AviticusLOCALYea Nimor, most of my guild members are all PvP lovers. They are always asking, "You guys add arenas yet? Or open PvP zones?"

14 Jun 2014 15:42:59AviticusLOCALHaha

14 Jun 2014 15:43:16AdminLOCALthe trouble with that is redoing all the pet ai stuff

14 Jun 2014 15:43:26AurielLOCALso the want list is: housing, pvp, and....

14 Jun 2014 15:43:33DreadzLOCALpack dolls

14 Jun 2014 15:43:36AdminLOCALso that they can figure out who to help and who to attack in pvp zones

14 Jun 2014 15:43:41GremrorLOCALAre gonna have permanent pets? That follow you through dungeons and zones?

14 Jun 2014 15:43:43nimorLOCALthis game dosnt have an hard death panlty so daying isnt so scary and can realy have fun just trying new things

14 Jun 2014 15:43:50AurielLOCALpack dolls...

14 Jun 2014 15:43:56AviticusLOCALHaha, yep. I remember City of Heroes had completely different stats while in PvP.

14 Jun 2014 15:44:03DreadzLOCALyes I love the death system here

14 Jun 2014 15:44:18AdminLOCALgremror: Animal Taming will let you tame pets and raise them, feed them, etc. Animal Handling will let you bring them with you into dungeons as a combat skill

14 Jun 2014 15:44:26DreadzLOCALpeeps would be more willing to pvp cause nothing to loose

14 Jun 2014 15:44:30GremrorLOCALAh, okay, thanks

14 Jun 2014 15:44:51GremrorLOCALThe death system here makes me eat poison when I see it... for expereicne & lolz. I love it.

14 Jun 2014 15:45:08AdminLOCALand Animal Husbandry will let you breed them for new genes, and ideally sell the offspring to other players

14 Jun 2014 15:45:10AviticusLOCALHaha yea I love what Eric's doing with hat.

14 Jun 2014 15:45:14AurielLOCALand death xp

14 Jun 2014 15:45:16AdminLOCALhahaha

14 Jun 2014 15:45:16AviticusLOCAL*that

14 Jun 2014 15:45:17DreadzLOCALI also love the enviroment damageI also love the enviroment damage

14 Jun 2014 15:45:20nimorLOCALthats why pvp is missing so much

14 Jun 2014 15:45:42nimorLOCALcant u just grey necro in arena?

14 Jun 2014 15:46:02AdminLOCALtrouble with PvP is it's REALLY hard to keep a friendly atmosphere when there's a lot of pvp'ing, people get too competitive and emotional. and newbies really need a friendly environment in this game, or they get lost

14 Jun 2014 15:46:04AviticusLOCALKilling off a skill set is never good.

14 Jun 2014 15:46:09nimorLOCALthat will let u foucse on the AI after u have pvp running

14 Jun 2014 15:46:30AdminLOCALyeah I could do something like that

14 Jun 2014 15:46:38AurielLOCALadmin, thats why I would advocate a voluntary arena type thing. Or capture the Flag

14 Jun 2014 15:46:40AdminLOCALpets just explode in the arena maybe

14 Jun 2014 15:46:41AviticusLOCALAhh ok you meant temporarily.

14 Jun 2014 15:46:53nimorLOCALits still alpah u can do it :)

14 Jun 2014 15:47:02AviticusLOCALYea Auriel, I was thinking the same.

14 Jun 2014 15:47:12AurielLOCALteam games

14 Jun 2014 15:47:25AurielLOCALor like Arathi in WoW

14 Jun 2014 15:47:25GremrorLOCALYeah, capture the flag is always fun

14 Jun 2014 15:47:37DreadzLOCALEric do you still have the old serbule map? you could instance to it and see how it goes

14 Jun 2014 15:47:39AurielLOCALwhere you have a series of objectives

14 Jun 2014 15:47:40AviticusLOCALIn City of Heroes, they started with just Arenas of 1 vs 1, which really got hostile with the initial unbalanced nature of the power sets.

14 Jun 2014 15:48:27AdminLOCALI'm not sure the old map will load anymore, but we could repurpose the old Kur map

14 Jun 2014 15:48:32AviticusLOCALIt was a pretty grim thing, like Eric said, I remember a lot of newbs jumping into that thinking it would be fun and then leaving the game after dealing with the frustration of defeat.

















AdminLOCALthe giant flat plane full

of ice and deadly snow
14 Jun 2014 15:48:37nimorLOCALwell u can

let ppl in only after endurance lvl 25
14 Jun 2014

15:48:51nimorLOCALor 50
14 Jun 2014 15:49:01nimorLOCALthat

will give a goal for ppl
14 Jun 2014 15:49:10AdminLOCALyeah I

would want to lock the arena so newbies couldnt go in. too

frustrating
14 Jun 2014 15:49:12nimorLOCALand keep powers at

cheack
14 Jun 2014 15:49:12AurielLOCALanother thing to work

for
14 Jun 2014 15:49:22AviticusLOCALI could build some kind of

arena
14 Jun 2014 15:49:41AviticusLOCALLike a gladiator type

thing.
14 Jun 2014 15:49:49GremrorLOCALEnudrance 50 would be

better than 25
14 Jun 2014 15:49:50DreadzLOCALyea that would be

good
14 Jun 2014 15:49:55seasLOCALsorry afk'd for a while, pvp

is a big one for me as well. i like the idea of instanceing up old

zones and using em for that
14 Jun 2014

15:50:00AdminLOCALAviticus: maybe a chunk of the desert map, so

players wouldnt get to it unti lthey were pretty advanced anyway
14

Jun 2014 15:50:00GremrorLOCALAs a requirement
14 Jun 2014

15:50:25AviticusLOCALAhh yea that works Eric.
14 Jun 2014

15:50:32AurielLOCALthats an idea, locate it in a high level

area
14 Jun 2014 15:50:49AurielLOCALcan you code an area within

a map differently?
14 Jun 2014 15:50:50AviticusLOCALAs it is

now, it's a pretty savage looking place. It'd make for a great place

to have an arena.
14 Jun 2014 15:51:07AurielLOCALto allow

pvp?
14 Jun 2014 15:51:41AviticusLOCALThat's how Blade and Soul

doesn't arenas, it's pretty cool.
14 Jun 2014

15:51:43AdminLOCALeventually, yeah. hmm might be that in the short

term that's too hard, and just using an old map might work better.

will have to ponder that a little
14 Jun 2014

15:51:59AviticusLOCALCould probably use our hotspot sysem.
14

Jun 2014 15:52:04AviticusLOCAL*system
14 Jun 2014

15:52:27DreadzLOCALyou could make a pvp skill and use the golem

makin guy here in serbule to level that skill up so a player could

get into the pvp area
14 Jun 2014 15:52:31AdminLOCALyeah it

could. though it will have weird side effects. like somebody just

flying by overhead and then suddenly they're in the pvp zone, get

shot down by fireballs
14 Jun 2014 15:52:58DreadzLOCALthat way

people would have to deliberly get access to that map
14 Jun 2014

15:53:16AviticusLOCALIn Blade and Soul, when you step into an

arena or pvp area in the map it just says you're open for PvP, but

they also let you run out instantly which is kinda annoying if you're

playing someone and you are winning. They can just run outside the

area.
14 Jun 2014 15:53:18AdminLOCALI like that for a future

plan
14 Jun 2014 15:53:57AviticusLOCALYea keep forgetting you

added flight to Gorgon.
14 Jun 2014 15:53:58AdminLOCALright

now there wouldnt be enough players to support multiple arenas, so

high level players and lowbies would be in the same place. which

sucks. So I think it would have to be a high-level req to get in, for

kickstarter
14 Jun 2014 15:54:15DreadzLOCALI agree
14 Jun

2014 15:54:22GremrorLOCALYeah
14 Jun 2014

15:54:23AurielLOCALme too
14 Jun 2014

15:54:36DreadzLOCALshould have to have a combat skill of 50 to

enter
14 Jun 2014 15:54:36AurielLOCALits there, but you have to

work to get to try it
14 Jun 2014 15:54:36AviticusLOCALYea,

don't want to kill the newb experience.
14 Jun 2014

15:54:47AurielLOCALand exploration
14 Jun 2014

15:54:53seasLOCALadded flight? can you fly in any other manner

than word of power?
14 Jun 2014 15:55:15AdminLOCALnot yet.

there will be other ways soon-ish
14

Jun 2014 15:55:27AdminLOCALthe druid can take raven form

14 Jun 2014 15:55:30AurielLOCALI want wings

14 Jun 2014 15:55:44AdminLOCALand fairies can limited-fly

14 Jun 2014 15:55:47AurielLOCALoh thatll work

14 Jun 2014 15:55:55nimorLOCALon the flaying thing items droped in the sky dont fall :D

14 Jun 2014 15:55:57AviticusLOCALThe fae should be in soon too right Eric? Well playable I mean, they are already in the build.

14 Jun 2014 15:56:32AviticusLOCAL*death by falling sack of armor and repair hammers*

14 Jun 2014 15:56:34GremrorLOCALI saw the screenshots of nimor and auriel experimenting with flight xD

14 Jun 2014 15:56:35AurielLOCALI sent hi the pics I took

14 Jun 2014 15:56:37AdminLOCALwhen we get the wings and animations set up, yeah. well, they are supposed to have pretty different gameplay, so I dont think they'll make the kickstarter

14 Jun 2014 15:56:52nimorLOCALu shuld give pvp realy soon so we can cheack it out now that there small number of players :)

14 Jun 2014 15:57:01AdminLOCALhaha yeah I'm fixing some of those weirdnesses. I just wont let you drop stuff while in the air

14 Jun 2014 15:57:24AurielLOCALthats probably the best thing to do

14 Jun 2014 15:57:24nimorLOCALgood fix lol

AviticusLOCALI'll start planning out that arena while I work on the new desert zone.
