Title: so in the next version...
Post by: -fool- on June 29, 2003, 09:53:22 am: will there actually be something to do instead of walk around and chat?
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on June 29, 2003, 10:42:56 am: *sigh*
There are many threads about this.
There will be more races, weapons, skills, quests, monsters etc.
Title: the future will be fantastic
Post by: zelphira on June 30, 2003, 01:11:28 am: I compare every time this game with that could have been UO2 Then I think that the future will be fantastic. With all the good gaming of UO and much more still

Post by: Khutin on June 30, 2003, 02:41:00 pm: It will be really cool if we have something to do oustide the city...

Maybe another city to wander around and hunt some quests/crystals/something else. ;-)

Post by: Caldazar on June 30, 2003, 05:02:35 pm: The world of PlaneShift is huge (http://www.planeshift.it/setting_overview.html). Although, Im pretty sure that the entire world wont be in the next version, perhaps the two first levels?
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on June 30, 2003, 05:44:12 pm: I hope they pack as much of the good stuff into the CB as possible... So let\'s hope they get the two first levels...

Post by: tygerwilde on June 30, 2003, 09:03:44 pm: hell, I wouldn\'t complain if they just added animals we could kill to this! hehe, but I think there will be because I think it was venge said something about working on combat for CB... can\'t wait to see the combat system in action
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on June 30, 2003, 09:06:26 pm: I hope its AD&D... Although I doubt it is.. BUT, I wanna tame some beasts. :D
Caldazar, the beastmaster.

Post by: Khutin on June 30, 2003, 09:26:23 pm: Lot of people don\'t, but I like GURPS combat system, although I think AD&D is better for PS due to its characteristis.

There is a website about game development called Skotos.net (http://www.skotos.net) which has tons of articles about tons of things: character creation, combat systems, scenarios, dice systems, proportionalities and much more. It worths the visit and is a good research source.

They can even develop a mixed system, using some characteristics of one combat system and others from another one. Or simply starting from zero and create PS\'s own combat system.

Post by: lostprophet on July 01, 2003, 02:04:08 pm: Caldazar, are you talking about some kind of pokemon game, where you catch stray cats then set them on people? Oh, and exactly what is the dice function for?
Title:
Post by: tygerwilde on July 01, 2003, 05:27:03 pm: I doubt we\'ll see d&d in a MMO for a while, Wizards owns the copyrights now, which means that they\'ll want money for it\'s use, even if it\'s just the rules...

I think it was electronic arts they had doing a 3rd ed mmo, but EA keeps shelving the idea, then going back to it, shelving then going back. From their general attitude, I\'d have to say that they\'re never going to publish, afraid of the parents that say that D&D players are all devil worshippers.

That is true for the moment, but: Wizards of the Coast is currently seeking what they call a \'CopyLeft\', meaning that anyone can use and even alter the D&D ruleset...

Here are some links to further explain why the D&D ruleset isn\'t entirely out of the question for Planeshift:

Well, I wasn\'t talking about using D&D rules in PS. I only suggested that I like its combat system, and that PS could use something similiar, or not.

I don\'t know what PS developmet staff is thinking about PS\'s combat system, but I think they should have it already designed, but not yet implemented.

Let\'s wait for CB... it\'ll be really cool. ;)

Indeed.. let\'s :]

Post by: Drilixer on July 16, 2003, 06:36:33 pm: haha, I wasn\'t bashing Planeshift\'s combat system - just letting you guys know that it is possible to borrow ideas if necessary; afterall the D&D ruleset is pretty nice.
Title:
Post by: Khutin on July 17, 2003, 03:56:53 pm: Yep, I like it. It\'s simple but efficient.

I also like GURPS system (as I said), but I think that in a game like PS, it\'d be a so-much-detailed combat system. It should not be necessary and much more difficult to implement. It fits better for \"paper n\' pencil\" RPGs (which I like very much, too). :]

Post by: *Herukula* on July 17, 2003, 04:07:09 pm: So in the next world we expect new weapons armor and what else ?

Post by: Moogie on July 17, 2003, 11:14:06 pm: I heard (from a very reliable source, I might add) that there are already approximately 1800 weapons. I doubt we\'ll be seeing the whole host of them in Crystal Blue though. ;)

Post by: Jedi on July 17, 2003, 11:45:47 pm: Wow...there goes my idea of collecting all of them. :,
