cart

[shadowroush]

what about a merchent horse and cart to take sellable items from town to town for people that have to much to carry on their person.

[elscouta]

Why not? Merchants can use transport means as much as other classes.

[DepthBlade]

Well that leaves a question in my head, what happens when you log off will the cart disappear or just stay there ?

[Kiva]

It should stay where you log off, however you can have the opportunity to leave it in safe-keeping at an inn, or if you have a house, or something like that.

I think carts should be jackable

euhm.... read ps main site. One of the birds(dunno which one) is able to carry stuff.

Animal trainer
 

Animals are used as companions of travel or as colleagues in many jobs. Animals can entertain in shows and arts, can bear heavy weights, can be useful to hunt, to find hidden objects, to guide through dangerous places, to fly. The trainers should have patience and leadership, be gentle and strong at the same time and have quick reflexes.

i dont see anywhere that one of the birds will be able to fly, it just says that some animals can bear heavy weights, doesnt say anywhere that the flying creature/s does

I have a model for a mobile cage that you can see in my thread. (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=7885&boardid=22&styleid=3&sid=822f83b40f758b3dab7642bf8c2ca984&page=2).

I think i can modify it to be a cart of some sort.

P.S. the model that you see is not complete. Unfortunatly my comp crashed and the disc that had the finished+skined (looked great) model may be whiped for ever. I will try to resurect it...  but im not sure i can...

This is grief causing, not something the devs want.

Read elsewhere on the site. It says quite explicitly that the Megara can carry heavy loads.

The second flying animal is the Megaras, which is similar to a giant bat. Scientists believe the Crystal has genetically mutated the Megaras, since they reproduce only in Yliakum. These bat-like creatures are not as docile as the Pterosaurs, but they are stronger and more efficient, making them perfect to carry heavy but not too delicate loads, such as food and building materials. As with the Pterosaurs, each mercantile society is allowed to own only one Megaras.

Anyway, there is of course the idea of having many types of carts. Big, small, wooden, fungi-like, seaweed, animal bone, etc. Also having a caravan of carts, where many merchants gather \'round and go off trading. And then a bunch of NPC raiders or guild enemies decide to ambush the poor caravan, and then some bloody things happen and the merchants are looted.

Now...

Discussion Question -

Should the carts have secret compartments? What should be in them?

Should there be decoy carts, to trick a guild enemy to attack the fake merchants (actually warriors wearing merchant clothing)?

[DepthBlade]

yah ofcourse it will be grief causing but so is being pked out in some field while your traveling to a nearby village

[Icefalcon]

Of course almost every great idea aleays comes back to PvP and Thieving *sigh* We will just have to wait for CB... But I do hope we will be able to jack the carts, hehe that would be awesome.

Exactly why there\'ll be no open PK either. Don\'t you read?

I think if somebody logs off and leaves their cart standing around, they deserve to have it looted. It\'s not grief causing, it\'s just the same as being careless in combat and dying as a result.

Yes!! Exactly like Grand Theft Auto!!

Snap out of it Niber

Anyways, I think cart\'s should be used a lot more then they usually are in games, you sometimes don\'t even need one since you can just put 8 axes, 5 longswords, a few spellbooks and whatever in your \"inventory\"..

I think it would be interesting to see an actually realistic carying system(I think there\'s a thread about this somewhere), where you can only cary stuff with your hands(2 weapons or tools). and you\'d have to buy a backpack or something if you\'d want to cary more. That would of course greatly increase the use of carts aswell since you wouldn\'t be able to cary that much in the backpack either.

hey! I want to hold two longswords in my hands, hide another two in sheaths. Add a two-handed sword on my back and two daggers in top of my boots.
A load of stuff in pockets and maybe under hat.
but nooo.... only two weapons or tools... you call that realistic?
