Title: combat
Post by: takeda on July 13, 2004, 04:01:01 pm

-The combat system is in place. It\'s realtime with the ability to PVP only if the other player accepts-

Does this mean that the player killers won\'t exist in PS?

That is the intent.

you use mind control on a behemoth and then kill all the players you want  ;)

Hmm at first I would like to exuse me for possible mistakes- english is not my mother language.
There will be no unwanted PvP?But it may lead to some problems.There will be thievs,and someone will just steal things from you and you will just stand and look as your things disapear

Since when did thieving become a non-PvP action?

Look, first of all - There is no thieving what-so-ever in CB. Don\'t think about it. Second of all, there is no unwanted PKing. If you can\'t live with that, go to the arena (full-out PvP for anyone who enters), and until someone develops a PvP system that takes all unfairness, all griefing and every other aspect of PvPing into account (do that in the PvP sub-forum please), there will be no open PKing and no thieving in the world of PlaneShift. Get over it or go somewhere else. That\'s about all the advice you can and will get on this subject.

Sorry to nit-pick but I was to understand that there is theiving, just from monsters, not players.....

I tihnk thieving form players could be possible and fair. How you ask. Well lets say that a thief can only steal from a person every 6 hours and one item at random. And then the person who lost thier item to the thief can have the right to fight that thief without asking for permission and he can report the thief to authority figures and the authorities could hunt the thief down and get the item back for you. I think this woul dbe really cool and unique and fair.

Harwen: I don\'t think any theiving is implemented *yet*.  When/if it is, then it won\'t be PVP.

Detan: you need to keep all ideas for theiving in the PvP & PK forum - it was created because the topic causes flamewars :)

Not yet... only the dwarf skin has been released yet, I don\'t think it has all the animations. Most likely they\'ll release such a preview just before releasing CB, as it\'s the last thing they have to work on....
Oh, and you have seen the movie, right?

Post by: Detan on July 14, 2004, 08:15:39 am

yupp I\'ve seen the movie. People have been telling me CB is but a week away but I\'m guessing at least a month cause of all the delays. Sorry if I wrongfully doubted the Devs

Post by: Waylander on July 14, 2004, 10:18:58 am

lol CB has been weeks away for months now and months away for over half a  year :)

But this time I think it is the real thing whether weeks or months I don\'t know

Ah well i hope your instincts prove right. I wish it would be out soon so I could paly it whilst I\'m grounded to my house (Oh the consequences of underage drinking ^_^)

I\'m just looking for a comparison. Is the battle style more like Secrets of Mana, or is it more like Star Ocean, or is it so different from either of these that there is no way to compare it?

Post by: druke on July 14, 2004, 10:00:31 pm

if its like everything else, then likely the later

Post by: Detan on July 14, 2004, 10:03:37 pm

hopefully its a fun and unique battle system that requires some measure of skill which you cna improve on. I mean simply sitting back and letting attacks go on without effort is a sad sad way to battle

Post by: Cryha on July 14, 2004, 10:59:13 pm

Are you insinuating that Star Ocean and Secrets of Mana are sit back and let the attacks fall?
