Title: Fighting
Post by: RussianVodka on December 08, 2003, 01:58:31 pm
Ok... from what i can telll this is ABSLUTELY the BEST MMORPG ever made, but it has one drawback........


!!!!IT HAS THE WORST COMBAT SYSTEM EVER USED!!!!

I hear a lot of people talking about these \"guild wars\",  where large numbers of people go and fight eachother in enoumous battles........  

But this will be imposible, from what i can tell the combat system is gona be like this: u come up to someone(player or monster) and start taking turns waking each other (sorta like the combat system used in RuneScape)

I think that if they want a battle system where u take a wack than u have to rest a bin before hiting again, they should make it like the battlesystem in Might&Magic (when your not using turn based combat that is) that way you would at least be able to have large battles, and you would be able to use hit and run tacktics.......

I could be mistaken, so if any of u know the details of the combat system, could u please tell me

????

are you on crack? the game has no fighting system... its not even a game yet... so it being the best is highly unlikely... seriously you need to see a doctor man... ?(

All this section is under construction, you can see some of the basic ideas behind our combat system.

that doesn\'t really show how will it look like in future releases :P

And i think you are mistaking (or am i?) about guild wars. When a guild war occurs, that doesn\'t mean that all the guild players will fight in a big battle. I think it just remove the no-PK limitation, so there\'d be small combats, even in a guild war.

I\'m waiting to CB gets released to tell if I like it or not, how could I do otherwise.. Dismissing an idea solely because of something you think it might end up like is a no-no...

im not sure if you guys would aprove of my ideas but for all those Yu-Gi-Oh fans out there i would love to see a Combat system like that.

Yu-Gi-Oh: 2 people go head to head in an arena that produces holographic monsters and so forth, they pit their wits and knowledge against eachother in an attempt to win the Duel, (they use cards to summon their creatures).

its a bit like Magic: The Gathering.

so if we could have like an arena where people goto fight other people to gain money, points or cards to add to their deck\'s.... but still keep items like armour and weapons and stuff to defend yourself in the wilderness.

If not as the main combative play, then maybe have it as a side game in planeshift. (make it like the main sport in planeshift)

In other words...a PvP Arena with slightly different rules than the game?

In other words another idea to remove realism from Planeshift :/

Next we are going to be running around trying to capture all of the Pokemon and see if they can fight it out for us.

PLEASE NO

Flip2k, you are scaring me.  Yugi-oh is not becoming the combat system of Planeshift.  However, card mini-games have been discussed.

Post by: Phoenix on December 08, 2003, 11:46:42 pm
A Yugioh combat system?  NO thank you.  I\'d leave right away if that happened.

Oh god, i hate yugioh..... tho if u want duels, we could at least make it realistic. Like in the 17th and 18th centuries when two guy came out with guns or swords(that would probly work better for PS) and fought to the death. Thats better than some gay kid playing cards to save the world.

dude Yu-Gi-Oh sucks. stopped being brain washed by all the flashy colors. i hope they dont put the battle system into the game.

The simplest form of PS\'s battlesystem has already been coded into the next release of the game. There\'s no way a radical change in the system (to an already-used idea, no less) will occur at this point.

PS is about originality, not copying everyone else\'s ideas and following the same old generic fantasy stereotypes.

once again moogie you have taken what millions of men cannot do and compiling it into 3 simple sentences. well done. ;)

Post by: Asgar on December 11, 2003, 04:08:59 pm
yea, Yugioh fighting style does not fit to MMORPGs like PS!
To drop this discussion, cause everyone decided that would be borin:

Its not round-based, id say.. See? They have attack speed idea, and i guess they wont drop this part....
Otherwise PS would not be the big fun thing, either

Post by: dalibor on December 20, 2003, 05:05:29 pm
i think that they should put a fighting system turn based but with turn lasting depending on the players agility so you hit faster or slower and defend the same way...

so if you have high agility you will be able to hit every 6 seconds or if its low then every 12 seconds... ranging from 6-12 .... as an example =)

Seriously people, skip key words like under and construction  :P  

Anyways, I imagine a great arena system would be like if they were gladiator battles, with every man to himself pitted against a mix of players and monsters in a big ring. Now that, would be cool. Sans olive oil and overwhelming testosterone.

And turn-based fighting systems are a bit boring. Kinda why the story was the only thing keeping me fighting in every single final fantasy game there ever was ( except 6, that was fun  :D )

And Moogie\'s right, most people pull things from every other game they have played, although I do admit some are good games, but why again would you want to play some crappy (idiodic), marketing srategy-driven card game in a mmorpg. I thought that\'s why there was Yu-Gi Oh on the GBA and the PS/2.

Although, it would be cool to have some sort of game you can play inside PS, like crystal checkers or something,  :D
