I noticed that Kada\'El\'s Tavern actually exists in Yliakum now. At least in the screenshots it does :]
How about the Castle of Princess Aelya? I can see lots of black spikey towers like something out of Mordor.
-
good idea, itd be great for places like those to become reality (Well, reality in a game :P) other places as well, i cant think of any at the moment, but some pop up every now and then ;)
EDIT: got one, Xolon\'s smithy :P
-
best idea i have ever heard on this forum :]
i would sure love to have a castle like mordors hehe. maybe ill just take over mordors castle and teleport it into yliakum.
and i suppose every official guild should have their own stronghold to. i suppose cyo could have his own little cave to hide in. they could call it \"cyo\'s stinking cave\" :P
-
best idea ive heard ever too! cyos stinkin cave :D
-
Surprisingly this is one of the best ideas in a long time on these boards, in my opinion.
But there is always the upset factor that must be included. You see, last time , when Kada got the tavern, Stickman and Deadly Pencil got upset. See that equals bad, and bad equals no good. And i have no real idea as to how this may be solved. But otherwise, I am all up for this idea.
P.S. you have heard my proposal, \"water front property\" to corner the global market in realstate :D
-
yes...and where are stickman and deadlypencil now? gone? yea,thats right why please the people who dont stick around long enough
anyways, anyone got complaints about it, the devs just made a hole in the groudn for them and stick them there then cover them up and call it stickman\'s pit...there, their happy and were happy
8o :D
-
Xolon\'s Smithy....
Yea, i already like that name. Hope its next to Kada\'s. Hate to walk long distances to the tavern... ;)
But like the general said, you probably get enough ppl who will whine about some things..
-Xolon-
-
Let em whine. I would hate to not see a good addition to the game because some people had to be selfish.
I hate it when one or two weenies just gotta ruin it for the rest.
-
I think th Dev team should study Morrowind for ideas on landmarks. that game has such cool landmarks and building designs. Not copy anything of course, but has anyone ever stood on the canal arches of Belmora? It\'s awesome. Giant Shrooms, buildings like molluscs. Actually, it might clash with the mytholigical part of the story, so I dunno.
-
I know those arches in Belmora well. Excellent idea Ff. Last I checked we had one hill and the textures on and around that hill were all screwed up. Hopefully some day we will be able to pull off environments comprable to Morrowinds.
-
Actually the thieving system in MW is good too. Anyone who was a thief would have to be hell bent on it, it takes a LONG time to even learn how to pickpocket even decently (and that was with a char who was born for the job), much less things like robbing caravans and stuff. I wondered off subject, sorry. Anyway. I haven\'t really played in a long time, so I\'m not sure what it looks like now, but I loved the way each village looked SO differant from another.
-
On the dev team, we call the landmarks you are talking about \"Wonders\". (Like the 7 wonders of the world, etc.)
And don\'t worry, Boonet has all kinds of crazy ideas to make you gnash your teeth in shame and frustration at your low FPS rates... ;-)
- Venge

/em shivers
Now thats what I wanna hear!
-
maybe only the original players of planeshift get these landmarks. that way later players couldnt whine about it. they should have been here sooner eh? ;)
-
About how many wonders can we intend on seeing? (Like all RPG\'s my goal is to explore the whole world, dungeons and all). The more the merrier, at least until the game lags from it.
-
Interesting idea... If we could use maps, then these would obviously be on those. Anyhow, perhaps only \'famous\' people can have wonders named after them(and perhaps runned by them). What I mean is that people who have contributed a lot to the game, or forums, perhaps, can have wonders based on them.
Also, perhaps the wonders can have a unique feature that no other \'thing\' like it has. For example, Xolon\'s smithy might have a special effect that no other smithy has. Anyways, that\'s what I think, even though I kind of stole it off Civilization III, in which differect wonders give different effects. At least I think I did...
-
I want to be able to see \"Wonders\" in dungeons too. Most games\' dungeons are rather monotonous... I want to battle monsters in a huge cave with a spiral rock-like tower in the center with spiraling stairs around it. :D
-
I would also like to see more \"realistic\" settings. Rooms that have a purpose other than just being there.
If a dungeons purpose is indeed to trap foolish wanderers than labyrinths and traps make sense. But a castle that is someone\'s home should seem just that. Although Princess Aelya\'s may have some different concepts of \"home\" ;)
-
I don\'t think its a good idea to name a wonder after someone. I would hate to see a grandueeristsic statue with someone named \"UbEr_DaDdY_4EvEr\". Maybe they could explain how the heros got their statues in thee fictional mythology of the game. Dungeons should look better. I think their wonders should be incredible, but in a scary way.
-
Please , give the devs more credit than to think they would name ANYTHING after a \"UbEr_DaDdY_4EvEr\"
I think Kada El earned her tavern in PS because of her contribution to the PS fan community. Thats all I am suggesting and I would limit it to pre-final release fans as their loyalty of sorts helped bring about the final product.

i dont think the dev\'s will only let the original people of PS because they said they\'d get no benefits except seeing PS go through the phases, and unless they changed their minds completely, im assuming that is the case
probably be easier to earn it if you have been around longer though :P
Fantasyfiend: those types of names will not be allowed in PS
-
wow, ok this is what I get for ignoring PS for a while. So many new threads...
I really like this idea, it would be very cool to walk around the world running into structures (or maybe some ruins? ) named after somebody.
Along the same lines, how about sort of \"relic\" items named after the dev\'s. Like Boonet\'s hammer (hammer just because he is carpenter/forger of the world)...On second thought, maybe that isin\'t such a good idea, but i wont delete it, just to get some feedback.
-
Well, one of the gods is named after a dev already :D
-
Actually both of the gods are named after the devs. Talad and his friend ..... the other guy....lol, nah, and Laanx.
Laanx seems to be more diabolical though, so yeah, I am with him/her.<--- story is confusing :D
-
Just to precise a point, it\'s those 2 devs that took the name of the gods that were present in the original PS story, dating years ago. Not the gods being named like them.
-
ahhh how interesting.
Yeah alucard, the story is confusing. Laanx starts off a female doesnt she? Then in the end, is she male? or he female? or... I dunno, maybe I just dont have very good comprehension.
-
Interesting. If the names are kept fairly realistic, then th statue named after someone would work. Otherwise, it would just make the game look sad, like UO. Would it just change the name of a town statue, or create a new one for every character that does something for that town?
-
Well, It wouldn\'t be fair if someone\'s statue was \"replaced\".
But statues should only be for people who save the entire town from absolute destruction, and it should be limited to about 3 structures per town.
-
Well, since statues are not the only way they\'d be honored, then that\'d be kinda hard, besides, if it was statues then all the have to do is put the lesser ones in some kind of building or other
not complicated :P
