PS- to Runescapeish

[nightwolf]

Yea, PS looks too much like it's rival: Runescape (wich is better somehow)
Why? Here are some of the reasons:
1) Fighting: Almost the same fighting sistem, just that in PS damage is shown in the chat window.
2) Mining: Same as runescape: "Mines" are random stones.
3) Mining: Same sistem, you mine at a rock, just like in Runescape
Till now, these are the things that make PS Runescapeish, and as we see, PS has only fighting and mining, especialy for the newbies.
My sugestion to improve:
1) Fighting: Each atack should damage all enemies in its range (I ment sword or mace). A random key should be the atack button. If it is held, the character should atack, even if there are no enemie selected.
2) Mining: Mines should be places under the ground, like caves. Players should mine from ore stones, on the walls or ground. Deep in the mine should be creatures, such as cave Tefusang, Dark Rougue etc., but the ore there should be easier to mine. Maybe some of them should have multiple exits/ enterances.                                       
3) Mining: Players, if equipted with a pick, should press the atack button near a rock and the oore should be mined after a time. Each succesfuly mine should give some XP.

And a zebra has the same body outline as a horse?

You don't make any valid points,  I'm not sure you're going to get the response from this community you're hoping for. And check your spelling before you click the post button.

Sorry, this GeoCities site is currently unavailable.

Mines should be places under the ground, like caves

There are some mines under ground

and those underground mines have tefusang and thugs

As for the fighting system, well I doubt our current fighting system will remain that way forever.

Erm... Each time you mine you 'gain some experience,' according to the chat window. It adds up, and you get more PP over time.

We love you and your ideas, nightwolf. Now that your things got locked in the wishlist section, you post the, in the general discussion section. If this gets locked, post again in the complaint department.

Not all mines are near rocks....  and there are mines underground too   and you DO earn XP for mining  and PS is WAY diffrent from that other game...I mean the grapics the and the Role play and the moderation..I could go on and on and I only tested out that other game...

Ruinscape= finished.
PlaneShift= not finished

Everything in PlaneShift will be improved, and nothing is in its final form. Also, RS is not a rival of PlaneShift. The target audience is not the same for the most part.

I tried RS once and didn't care enough to make it through their tutorial.  The boredom camel's back broke when they tried to teach me to cook shrimp.  The PS tutorial is much better.

You do know that all your previous ideas (concerning Evil Lords and such) would actually make PS more runescapish? Besides, both games are Fantasy MMO's, there's bound to be matching areas, especially on obvious and basic areas as mining. Mining is hacking at rocks with a pickaxe, can't really innovate on that.

[Liadan]

WOW...and s/he didn't even mentioned the graphics...how could you ignore the MS paint-ness of the graphics?!


OKay, so there's a few similarities when it comes to game mechanics, but to be honest, they're both MMOs, which will mean that there will be a few things in common. And most of the other games probably only offer fighting and mining to new players as well, in terms of getting set up. But that's where the similarities stop.

Now i can understand the urgency for which you want PS to not become RS if you're an run escapee...but like Underthemoon has pointed out, one is finished the other is not, and in my humble opinion, it's like comparing the top grade of junior high to the senior year of high school (or university). Two different leagues.

But, I still hope that you can play PlaneShift and enjoy what it has to offer, regardless of the itching similarity it presents to another game.

you think too small!  mining is not just pick axes on rock! I'm fond of the "set a big pile of explosives and run for the hills" method.   then theres the magic method, shoot flaming arrows of death at it until pieces fly away and see whatcha get.

This is just ..... *swollows next sentence and re-words*

What kind of advice is this? If it gets locked it's because #1 - This thread is a duplicite #2 - You can't compare oranges to apples.

I really hate seeing this pop up from time to time. Like moon said ....

Hopefully you can see the difference between the two games. Did you even do a search on this particular topic? I don't think you will be pleased with the results of those thread and probably would've thought twice before posting this one.

Nightwolf, I was going to make a constructive post, but decided it would be too kind for your behavior...

Perhaps you should just shut up. Seriously. All your ideas suck. Not saying you're a bad person, but your ideas are bad, and maybe you should just stop spamming this forum with 'em. You obviously haven't grasped the meaning of PlaneShift. RuneScape is completely different, even if the mining system is similar.

Another suggestion: try reading the forum rules/stickies. Half of your posts shouldn't be allowed.
