this is an off the wall idea that might be fun

[paxx]

Hunting as I envision it:

This of course will be largely dependant on other aspects of the game (this would be a cool feature but one of the first to be canceled if resources are low)

Give game animals a skittish AI, some with a herd mentality, lower game creature attributes as they take damage (they get slower) offer a challenge no mater the skill of the hunters, occasionally have protector monsters react to killings. Have creatures give mass quantities of meat and pelts, quality dependant on amount of hits (one shot one kill would give the best quality)?and a few other semi realistic features. Exp would be granted only upon finishing the creatures useful parts, skinning the animal, curing the meat?. What I would like to make evident is I don?t want killing for the sake of killing.

I have much more to write, but I have a social engagement to attend so, I?ll leave this up and we can continue to comment along these lines.

I get harrassed about things being off topic a lot. Anyways im just amazed to see some many people takeing an interest to the idea that i brought up about hunting and stuff.

  WWF=World Wildlife Foundation.......or something like that.

  The discussion was about hunting and poaching, which led to the idea of a preservation group for animals.  It was on topic.  Peanut!

What if got killed by a monster, ressurected and mounted your own head on the wall. You could have a collection of decapitated you\'s.......Just a thought.

[Mephisto]

Hey have you imagined how cool that would be if there were PvP matches?
like the ears in diablo, but you have heads instead,
You enter the house of a famous pk\'er and you see a big bunch of heads on the wall, \"level 93\" \"level 83\" etc etc

[David_HD]

If a group kills a large animal, the group has to choose who gets the head. Could lead to bickering and grudges, but any hunting party should figure that stuff out before they go out, right? Or maybe it just goes in their hunting lodge The heads only matter for bragging rights, anyway, so it shouldn\'t be that big a deal.

[Mephisto]

The player that did the most damage to the beast should get it,
Well something like the player doing the most damage + took the most damage when trying to get it down, I\'ve played many mmorps where its really annoying that an enemy keeps doing damage at you while you are doing damage at it and then some other player comes and kills the enemy and gets the exp/price,
While you are the one who really deserved it,
This is a system that needs to be well thought through,
