Topic :   Week suggestion for new scripter
12 years ago  April 01, 2013, 10:29:40 PM

since Dante hired a new scripter for a week... lets get some idea rolling (for now/later :P )

-First, why not implement a static cap to the breeding/bio system so staff dosnt have to go around and fix everyone's pet forever.  We have tried several times, several core issues, players use spells, sample the custom monsters etc, endless exploits we work on daily...no ez solution atm


-New pets, whit maybe some kind of new special ability
We add pets monthly with new abilities...

-some kind of event (pvp/pvm team based?) whit a reward system whit pts, where you can buy reward whit XYZ amount of pts (whit short/long term rewards) We do have it but until we balance the pvp I dont want to reward pvpers to slaughter the new players for points...


-fix the keys so we can store ur items! :D
The keys do work in general, the problem is i would have to rescript every custom item on the shard to work with the keys.  Currently the keys erase items that are custom.  For example the gem key works on standard gems, if you put an augment gem in the key it erases the stats...I am working on this, jus tno scripter seems to want to do the massive project atm


-Not necessarly for the scripter, but new items set/quest (kinda like Magi set) whit different cons/pros
Yes I will have several new quests at next major update

-A special faction system? (whit bonus when occupying the different citys)
We have tested the faction system but seems some scripts may be missing.  I am going to add the siege system soon

-more coming! :D



feel free to comment/suggest stuff!

Varkam,

Great initiative on your part for this thread, mate. I just tried to applaud you for the second time on your posts in the past hour. Turns out there's a time limit for cheerleading. ;)

I'd like to see pvp taken out of The Grand Arena in Luna so we can start up a solid Bagball league here on the shard. It's a fun game to play and anyone can learn. There are even ways to turn this into a shard-wide quest and reward system for both players and fans, as well as introduce legitimate sports gambling that I intend to outline in another post soon.

The ability to get a new bod when you turn in a finished one would be amazing in so many ways. Not only would it revive the bod system, but I believe it would help spur the player driven economy. Items commonly found on most shards like powders of fortification are incredibly rare here, as well as basic crafter scrolls. You simply can't find them anywhere on vendors and I know people want them because they ask for them all the time. This introduction into the bod system makes crafting more profitable across all skill levels.

Your own suggestion on a static cap for the breeding/bio system is spot on to head off a lot of friction with the community before it ever happens. I know that I was more than a bit frustrated to see that I came into the shard late for the whole trapped ice hound frenzy, but quickly realized that Dante and Blight were both dead on target when they said that it should really be common sense that pets with so many things going for them, i.e. one pet slot, pack instinct, massive hp and damage capabilities were never really an intended consequence. Variety is a good thing and as it stands, there's no incentive for a person to venture into any other territory than the fully bred trapped ice hounds. It is going to sting for a while, but the pet system as a whole should benefit from these bugs being fixed in the long run.

The interaction system for reds needs a tweak. Red players should be able to heal/resurrect other reds/red pets without flagging criminal.

Soronume, for the bods system, it works just fine, 1 account can have 5 char, bs can be gm'ed in a question of top an hour, so do the math, 5 chars can provide you with 5 bs bod every 2 hours, thats about 15-25 bods per day if you can log in. There's also the possibility of getting a second account, so thats twice the bods per day!
Has for the powder of fortifying, its real easy to get, you just have to know which bods give it, a lot of players have them, they just wont sell and keep them to themselves, i know i do :)
 
Here is a list of bs bod rewards from another shard, its fairly accurate, havent tried them all but so far its good.
