Idea! Desert zone.

[Empanado]

Ok, i haven\'t played the game yet, i have problems with making the .exe, but anyways, fow what i\'ve seen at the time, you\'re intending to add \'arenas\' or \'stadiums\' where the players could fight each others. Well, what d\'you think of a \'Desert Zone\', where large numbers of players could go to battle each other, or figth monsters when you make it. It could be that, like, once a month, you program an \'attack\' of monsters, and the players should go to this desert zone and beat them, like a monthly event or something, and the rest of the time, it could work as a simple arena for player fighting. I don\'t know a lot about programming stuff, but i guess that it could work, on a distant future.

Kinda like a wilderness, but I\'d personally like it if the monster attack was a foreign army.

[Empanado]

Eh, that\'s what i said, foreign army, yeah.

Also, it could be events like \"capture the flag\" or stuff like that between guilds, and somewhat of a score table for these events.

[Monketh]

Note to Devs: \"Capture the Flag\" and \"Score Tables\" are a must
Where would you put this \"Desert Zone\" though? just curious

[druke]

well seeing as this is planeshift, it could just be placed on its own plane, like a Plane of Competetion or somesuch

I think it would be cool if an army of NPC\'s like 30 or 40 come to A city and attacks it, and it WILL destroy it all if we NON-NPC players kill them.

But this cant be on an official city, and i think players WILL make there own city in the middle of nowere, atleast i expect that, and when the city is growing with popularity of 100 people and zero-0 NPC\'s there monthly a group of NPC\'s attack, and they warn us to leave or something so we can gather at that time and fight big time

[Drilixer]

in the words of Vengeance \"this is a great idea but not Planeshift...\" (probably slightly misquoted )

Anyways - guilds will be able to combat each other we have always known that - but I think the devs are apprehensive of battle zones and pvp areas - that just isn\'t Planeshift.  If you want further afirmation of that - just go read a couple dev/moderator comments in the pvp forum

[Empanado]

I was thinking that it could be a special server for this...
i mean, why not? it could be somewhat of a tournament, once a month a massive battle is settled up, NPCs against players, and the players who kill the most NPCs win prizes or something... (in-game prizes of course), and you would have to pay a fee to get in, or need a certain lvl. I\'m just suggesting tho, and i know that, in case that this would be accepted, it would take at least...eh, many months to develop. Anyways, think about it. A lot of more action into the game. Just visualize it: You\'re standing on the middle of a battlefield, slamming your axe into a barbarian, while your two best buddies fight, i don\'t know, a dragon.  Then, a horde of goblins surround you, and just when they\'re about of piercing you with their spears, your guild comes to action and saves your day. Then, you coordinate a massive atack wave with your guild and surrounding players, and you go down the hill at the side of 50 other players, destroying any NPC that crosses into your way. Then, you meet the NPC boss (opcional of course... but it would be a very nice touch.): A twenty-foot tall three-headed beast, and, while the guild archers zoom their arrows onto the beast, you and your mates walk around the monster to deliver a deadly blow from behind! How does it sound? Huh? Variation: The boss could be a... black knight, mounted on a dark horse, that crunches players with his mace as they were flies. All the mages present attack simultaneosly, and a huge blast of magic attacks reduces the knight to dust! Yeehaw! Also: Just when you think that those soldiers youre slamming are the last ones, a horde of undead covers the battlefield! slowly, you see as they exterminate every single player, just before they deadly hit you to give the victory to the NPCs!

Maybe it\'s not Planeshift, but it\'s still pretty darn cool, isn\'t it?

[Drilixer]

this sounds alot like a normal battle - so i dont see why this realm is necessary - and as for tournaments - there will be dual PvP and guild wars so no doubt you can join a guild that is focused on dualing and then build an arena (yes there is building in this game as a tradeskill) and then go at it

[Empanado]

but...but...but...

Anyway, although a guild war is undoubtly a lot of fun, it\'s not the same that teaming up with players for a common cause... kill NPCs.


Oh, forget it. You ruined my childhood dream. Agh.

I just hope that these arenas will be pretty huge... and a couple of fortresses wouldnt hurt. Y\'know, to play something like a castle siege. With secret passages and stuff. In my case, individual PKing is boring, i want world wars!

[zaphar]

I am certain that the game Moderators will sponsor in-game events. I forsee no reason why massive battles in game wouldn\'t be a possibility. This guy was suggesting massive PC v NPC batttles possibly over player created areas.

Read his post before you slam him. I thought it was an idea with promise. maybe the destruction of property wouldn\'t be possible on the scale he was thinking of but still it isn\'t out of the realm of possibility.

So.... Good job Kenny keep brainstorming.

I\'m too damned conservative to work in that piss whirlpool.
