The city of bandits
« on: August 10, 2004, 09:18:33 pm »
OK i was thinking of having a \"city of bandits\" where the \"black market\" was and where you could buy items you could only get from that city there could also be a special event thing there which you could only enter from the city.

This event would be 5 players fighting for their lives against rounds of enemys and the person to survive longer than the other 4 would get a prize like a weapon or tria (if this isnt a good event it can be changed)

The city would be located under the \"ground\" (as in under the main hydlaa floor with nothing showing that its there but a small hole in the ground you enter the passage to the city through

There would only be one way to enter the city and that would be by a passage coverd with traps dead end turns ect..
The entrance to the passage would be a small square hole in the ground located in the dessert or deep in a forest which would be very hard to find

To find the city you could do quests which you would get peices of a map which would lead to the city and by doing more quests you would get tips on how to avoid the traps and stuff in the passage

You could also ask random npcs about the city though you would get much less help than doing a quest

Good idea but then you will get uber players luring noobs down there to kill them and clear the way of obsticles. Also people will post online walkthroughs about how to get to this place.

Hmm people can be so crule =( (thats the people who would post the walk throughs)

It could also require you to have a ticket to enter by doing a quest

call me naive, but it worked (works) pretty good for the quests of MB IMHO...i never saw one shouting out how to solve the quests or something...

the noob bashing thing sure is a prob...high lvl monsters may help, but if the high lvl player says to the newb i will help you fight your way down and bash him afterward it wont work. on the other hand: is it worth bashing a lot of high lvl monsters and risking your life just to bash a newb? well, i guess no. so it would work for most of the ppl that way :)

Heh, Chattanuga has a good point but, in the future you will get people who will do anything for a few tria.

This is against the PS license I believe. There was a post about that.

ok so we got a hole in the ground in a high lvl place that takes you to a passage coverd with traps which will take you to the city
now then aside from the black market what else should the city have?

Yeah, like at night, where seedy merchants go out to do business in the shadows because they have bad skin. Like Zak, that\'s why he wears that mask. Well, also to look cool....

Ha, good point. I mean, every city has crime. The Black Market should be a part of every city.

Ok, let\'s say no one posts the walkthrough online, they can still make a walkthrough if Harwen idea of books becomes reality. Even thought \"Oh no, he said where it is!\" it would add a lot to roleplay
\"I got this book on the library, seems it have some clues on the whereabouts of the Hidden City\"
BlackMarket... at night in dangerous places... fun >=)

I thought that quest data was under the art liscense, making it illegal to reveal stuff about quests without express permission from the team (like that would ever happen :P) so they could sue your pants off for doing that... I don\'t think that will be something I will do :-/

It would add to the gameplay if you found a tattered old book some player had written long ago with clues to the whereabouts... And I think that if a book is deemed unacceptable for reasons pertaining to quests and such, they shouldn\'t suddenly just disappear... they should become \"moth-eaten\" so you couldn\'t read all the stuff, but youd get clues like you would have if it had been a book that was inside the regulations...
