Will there be raiding?
« on: December 08, 2004, 10:48:57 pm »
Just wondering if theyre will be Raiding in Planeshift. I used to play Everquest and i really liked the Raiding aspect.

 PS you guys are building a great game here, keep up the good work.

Maybe if you explained exactly what \"raiding\" is..I know what the word means, but not how Everquest implements it.

raiding is getting like 3 or 4 groups together and going after a strong foe, using strategy or just sheer numbers to defeat it. like raiding dungeon bosses that 1 group could not kill.

I think nakai means the mass battles against huge enemies that take entire server-fulls of people and hours of time to kill. They\'re fun for hack\'n\'slash games, but I don\'t know how that sort of raiding would work in PS. Could be a good idea...

Well maybe a huge enemy would randomly attack the city and require a gigantic group of people or else it would \"destroy\" the city which later would be \"rebuilt\"
That would be cool :)

Doesnt this belong in the wish list?

Yeah, just like some movies :)
Every month a huge dragon is going to the city to destroy everything. The dragon won\'t do it when the people secrafice a human female every month.

Than a bunch of soldiers could try to defeat the beast together to stop it :)
