Okie, I have no idea why I am adding to the rolling avalance of droll, but I want to give a shot at actually sounding like some of the better wish-list topics that have people submit ideas instead of rant and rant. You can\'t really help it sometimes, for some reason, you see someone post something incredibly stupid, or senseless, and you panic to conter them because you are afraid it will work it\'s way into the minds of a dev like an evil babel fish. If we think about it, and the fact that the devs are alot smarter than some people give them credit for, we start to relax. So relax with me.
As we all know, fighting each other is a must in any MMORPG, it\'s just there, you can\'t avoid it.
But we must realize that it isn\'t what Planeshift is based on. It is based on the
RPG part of
MMORPG . With groups, favor to large parties. Okie, so we have a base for our ideas.
Staying on topic with the original post is a must generally in all types of forums right? Well, it is even more important in such a specific forum like this. Honestly, I see it here more than all the other forums combined. If I was a moderator, I would be sick of the delete button.
Another point the devs are
100% going to include several forms of player to player action. Just read Paxx\'s post at the top of this sub-forum.
Duel, Guild War and Arena fighting . All with their own respective rules and variations. Also, it is known that things like
permenant death , and
severe dying penalties won\'t be implemented, because it violates my first point. Okie, now we have a base for our suggestions right? So let\'s all ask what don\'t we know?
So we have this: Our suggestions shouldn\'t intrerfere with the Role Playing Aspect (ruling out Perm Death, Severe Penalties, e.t.c.)
Should include group fights for guild wars and team battles.
Should be based around what the dev\'s already have so as not to detract from a main goal. (A nice duel system, a great ways to handle group fights, Gladiator-style arena, e.t.c.)
Should be detailed and make some sense.
Should not detract from the topic of the original post.
And most importantly, should be fair and not swing to your own personal views of what a great game would be, or what the last game you played for 5 minutes was like. (Sadly,not everyone understands that Diablo isn\'t a great model for an MMORPG) Try to follow the guidelines above, and
try to stay on topic I would like this post to stay up for a while since I have been thinking about this alot. :]
So, let\'s get busy, and please, psuedo-flamers back off from this one?
