Title: Lets have a cold icy winter!
Post by: Commando on December 08, 2003, 09:10:06 pm
On my way home from a friend, here in Sweden,  I thought up an idea. What if we had like sessons? Like the summer is newbie friendly because it\'s warm and so on. But the winter is cold and a hard time.

I tell a friend about PS
Friend - \"Hey! Whata cool game! I wanna join!\"
Me - \"Well, now it\'s winter sesson and you wound\'t have a easy time\"
Friend - \":\'(\"
Me - \"Althoug, you can live in my house, for a little fee (:))\"
Friend - \"YEY!\"

All happy :)

And this will add a new meter, the Frozen meter.  If it reaches 0 you will be losing your health for each 10 secound or so, but while it sinks, you start to go slower and slower.

Well, what do you think?

I think there should only be areas(like the 9 levels) with different fixed climates, with their small weather variations.

That sounds fair.. But not the 9th, maby the 3/4th... I JUST LIKE SNOW in games... hehe, It\'s so beautifull

Of course not the 9th...it\'s probably a desert if it\'s not a hot  fluid altogether. The lowest are probably the most cold ones.

try asking one of the NPC\'s:
Tell me about seasons
i think they\'re working on it ;)

lol good one
I\'d say they never thought about seasons ;)

Seasons inside earth? lol now that\'s strange... but I think someone can come up for a reason so that snow can exist.. But of course, we already have rain so why not snow! I sence the fur coats being a big seller in winter!(hope so ;)) :D

There\'s two topics considering the seasons but I chose this one cos this one is merely about the winter.

Magical snow ;) hailing down from the crystal.
I\'d like to see snow every once in a while cos I really do like the winter... If not caused by the seasoning then at least inside an icy cave or something...

its stated on the sie that the world goes thought the same seasons as the surface

Post by: Axsyrus on January 28, 2004, 09:04:33 pm
The sun that shines on the surface power the Azure Crystal, so when it\'s winter on the surface(less sun) it will be winter in Yliakum too. There won\'t be snow though, somebody asked this in the dev channel a while back, Yliakum is underground, it never gets so cold there.

Actually since its underground it should be always colder than above.

But if you go deeper it get even hotter. I was kinda wishing for something with the warmth. Like when its warm, you caracter gets it hot, and needs to rest more, then when it is cold, and you can run a lot longer coz you dont \"overheat\"

Yes but when it is cold it is much harder to breathe and your muscles are much more tight.  trust me i have run in extremly cold weather and i would rather run in 100 degree heat

and actually there is another reason why it should always be warm inside of the stalatite. there are no vents. your surrounded by rock. rock absorbs heat from light very well. im wondering how the world doesnt bake like an oven untill all live is distilled. also the reason why it is cold underground in the first place is because of the lack of light. theres only a difference underground in temperature by about 9 degrees all the way at 2 miles down. so the better question to this thread is \"why doesnt ylakium bake like a furnace?\"

Because the stalagtite radiates its heat to the entire cave.

Btw can it rain underground, or snow?

Post by: Kixie on January 29, 2004, 12:30:57 am
because ur underground ther isnt enough air to make a working water cycle. and a stalgtite doesnt radiate heat to the cave. the rock absorbs heat. it works like metal. although you may heat the tip of some iron at 3000 degrees if it was a 10 foot pole the other side actually might be very cold. heat in rock decelerates very rapidly from the surface to the other side. so the heat almost would stay right in the stalagtite. there fore baking it *bows*

hehehe snow would be cool.

ive never seen snow in my life.

where im from in australia all we got was red dust last winter and the sky goes red.

so i would like a snowy winter lol

but a dry dusty time would be cool and proportion the winter.

Post by: davo on January 29, 2004, 12:51:13 pm
hehehe oi and when it gets hot you jump into a water hole aye.

mate that would be cool.

just had to say that idea.

Sure it radiates heat. Heat is a flow, temperature is a solid thingie. And rock absorbs heat slowly, although maybe faster than the cave cools it.

A solution would be that the crystal emitts just visible and lower frequency light, which warms the interior less.

I don\'t see why there wouldn\'t be snow someday at some level at some place. And don\'t forget that rain already is there!

hmm... snow and ice in a stalactite in a cave that is lit by a crystal and fought over by two gods...  well, ive seen stranger things.

The devs say no snow huh? How about magic snow? Evil Wizard w/ Eternal Winter anyone?

I did forget that and i wish they would take it out. it isnt realistic at all.. theres just no way a water cycle could happen in such a small space...

Post by: SnowWolf on January 29, 2004, 07:36:42 pm
Lol - Small you say? You can create a water cycle inside of a glass jar!
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 29, 2004, 07:38:13 pm
one where you can produce normal occuring rain drops and snow, you cannot produce in a stalagtite.

why not? :rolleyes:

i envy the man who has never seen snow.  i hate snow and cold. i long for 80 and 90 degree weather (farenheit for all you celsius user ;))

Who ever said Yliakum was small? If you just look at the map provided at the settings page you can already see that it\'s a huge stalactite(those dots are cities..).

Again, here is a quote from the settings:
\"Named the Azure Sun by those races that still remember the surface, it emits a radiation that is more towards infrared if compared to the light of the sun, but is suitable for photosynthesis and survival of many animals, vegetables, and mineral species. This radiation decays with squared progression with the distance. At the seventh level the radiation is just enough to penetrate the mass of the lake in order to light it, while on the first level it is so strong that it allows wonderful crops and the breeding of great cattle, which provide milk and meat.\"

As I said - you can do it in a JAR - it isn\'t that hard - really!

i\'m with snow wolf. didn\'t you people ever make those stupid things where you had to build  a little ecosystem in a glass box. ad some water and set it in a window. the water will evaporate stick to the celing and will fall back down eventually. we did that in like 5th grade.


and any ways in the charicatar descriptions doesn\'t it measure the charictars in meters, cause now if a charictar is 2 meters tall. how do you figgure it\'s a small stalactite.

Post by: Kixie on January 30, 2004, 02:47:31 am
UGH.. there is still the fact no one wants to really face and that is that it would be too hot in that hunk of rock to snow anyways. rain.. fine whatever... snow, no way in hell am i letting that happen. i have too much dang snow already where i live. Screw that, no snow, ever in any form except rain. PERIOD. Plus another period for effect...
