Ideas
« on: March 2, 2006 08:06 pm CST »
I hear several people on the server complain about the server being stagnent. I never see serious ideas other than flaming. So here is what I suggest. Post some new ideas here.  If you have an idea about the server or quest post here. No flaming.

Class specific abilities.
New spells/weapons. Some life stealing/draining spells would be cool. Like poison.
Traps.
Something to improve archery. Like poison or fire arrows. I'm a ranger but I've never used an archery weapon above sling.
Instantaneous Short-Range (line of sight, think Necromancer in Annihilation mod) Teleportation. That would be cool and totally give a twist on duels.

How about thugs, in Fort Ethren you can rent thugs. What if that actually worked. You hire some thug that was able to take there target in a fair fight. Say an RL1 was constantly being attacked by a god, he hires a thug. Then say droping didnt help. If the god is a coward he would be running for months. lol

More footwear/armor options...
Uberpaws? (and if this were possible, boots that ran like normal but gave you a super jump)
More weapon options (multiple swords to use at the same level, each with different but balanced stats)

Random server spawned global quest events?
Like...

Server: OMG WTF??!?! EARTHQUAKE!!!! LEGIONS OF HELL HAVE BEEN RELEASED UPON THE LAND!! COME TO KELDRIN'S DEFENSE!
Player: Ahhh! Someone help! A hellbot just spawned in my zone! Come kill him!
Hellbot: URGHSZHZHHAA!
Player2: HYAH! I bashed Hellbot for 940 damage!
Hellbot: Arrgh!
Hellbot drops pile of diamonds.

Just something fun and different to get players to run around killing things for small (yet worthwhile) rewards. Different levels of bots, of course, for different levels of players. With random names so you'd have to work to find them instead of just #tracking. Like Hellbot232 where the number is different everytime one is spawned. Maybe we can see a return of the old enemies....Trolls, Ashens, Mal, and Wolven.

We're at the item limit.  It really can't be helped.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

in that case I'm sure there'd be a few items you could get rid of...no one really uses padded armor

You can get rid of all of the rusty weapons, they're never used. And getting rid of tents and just giving all players the ability to #sleep anywhere in unknown like rangers can wouldn't hurt, the only people who use tents after a couple remort levels are those who tent zones and try to crash the server.

I really like Kyrie's idea for random quests. It would be more of an incentive to NOT go afk. And is the item limit inherent in the Tribes engine? If so...damn  :?

Yes, the item limit is a problem with Tribes.  It can only handle an 8-bit number of ItemData sets.  Well, that isn't entirely true.  I think Tribes can handle more, but the inventory GUI cannot--it starts messing up after 256 total ItemDatas.

Some servers in the past have made a variable-based item system, but these require the use of the Tab menu to replace the inventory screen...which (in my opinion) really sucks the big one.  Who wants to see their inventory 6 items at a time?  Not me.

That's why there aren't more items.
