Of course the combat will be real time! Can you imagine a mmorpg with turn based combat?
And im sure it will be in CB.
I think combat stuff is NDA, so no one can tell how its going to be.
But basicly it looks like any other mmorpg combat system.

There are already turn based combat mmorpgs.
Ever here of the Realm.  Each party takes its turn in which it does actions it wants to do.

ello All,

Yes, eventually.

Yes.

They can, but it most likely won\'t happen.

ok thought of another-
will we be able to use a wepon in each hand in the CB or is that still to come?

That\'s already possible.

[Enter_the_Xero]

In the future versions of planeshift will there be cities where you could do anything and engage in combat anywhere? Will there be a lot of giant areas where people can do anything and engage in combat anyhow? So people would not complain about the lack of areas where you could kill for pleasure....

Areas with monsters will have support for Player vs Player combat, right?

You can gang up *more then one* to 1 in the PVP areas, or no?

Updates: Will patch up bugs only?  or and upgrade parts of the game? and add more stuff?

[Taruk]

If there will be the char transfer, with all the xtails. The cheaters who have cheated in MB will have an advantage!

Q: They really will get that advantage?

It was said elsewhere that devs are doing a list with the name of all the cheaters... I think it will be a strange and massive lost of xtals for someone...

If there is a such list there is no worry to have...

[Moogie]

The devs can\'t know everyone who cheated in MB... the only way to catch them all, if they want to catch them all, would be to not allow crystal tranfers at all. Every decent player should be ready to accept such a decision, if it was made, and recognise the need to punish those who try to ruin the game for the rest of us.

Q: \"Will patch up bugs only? or and upgrade parts of the game? and add more stuff?\"

A: Once CB is released, the updates will come regularly and include both bug fixes and new content, areas, quests, etc.

[fken]

Hum... I dont know the english expression but... we could ask people to tell us who we can trust. For example :

Luca : he knows and knows they arent cheaters
- Acraig
- moogie
- androgos
- djagg
- gronomist
- and so one

then Acraig knows :
then moogie knows :
and so one...


When people find another one fund too many xtals he can tell us...

But I recognize it could destroy fun in the game... this is a simple proposition...

You can see if somebody has a suspicious income... (but I dont think it works... last summer when I connect just 2 or 4 min to pick up xtals from lost room and then disconnect... lol between 5 and 10 crystals in less than one minute sometimes - but not often... so I dont think its a good solution : I dont want to be considered like a cheater... and moreover a cheater with almost 1000 r isnt a good cheater...)

So I cant find a good way to find who are the cheater but : when I camp in the lost room it wasnt for nothing... it was veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrryy boring believe in me so I dont want it to be useless...

I just hope the cheater wont be able to continue to cheat on cb...

[Kazorn]

ok... finaly went throught all the questions, and didn\'t find this

Q: will loot be idiotic and unlogical in CB, like a dragon dropping a chainmail, a dog a sword or a rat a hammer? (i know those creatures won\'t be in planeshift, those are just examples)

[Moogie]

A: Fortunately not. During testing, creatures have been dropping gold falchions and other weird stuff. But this was just to test the looting and merchant systems. When CB goes public, only things that make sense will be dropped.

[Edit by Gronomist]
Also, Talad, The Director of PlaneShift Inc., A/S, etc., is very much against unrealistic drops and such things. Drops will also be regulated, so if something which is worthless drops too often, the drop rate will be decreased so the server doesn\'t get flooded with unnecessary items. And so on.

[fken]

hey a dragon who drop a chainmail isn\'t silly : Dont forget the creature cant eat too so : a big creature can eat a full knight so the chainmail could be dropped by a big creature !

but
Q : When I look at the screenshots I dont think the character can wear armour ... is it true ?

and if thats true when will we be able to wear one ?
