...I guess I'm too old to expect people to understand good'ol Commando reference. If you'd understood what I was talking about, you'd realize how perfect it was and would've simply agreed with me.

I think iv probably seen most of arnys films including that one

I Just imagined a cheesy pokemon attack smashing team rocket in to the horizon, with a steam attack, over arny impaleing Bennett

@Gothix said in Pet system can be based on UO or Daoc?:

Perhaps cosmetic pets and battle pet, if out at same time, could have some interaction as well.

Play together while running around the player. Or perhaps even visual... maybe a special cosmetic pet that would change color based on what battle pet is following player at the moment. Plenty of possibilities here.

Battle penguin, and penguin pet stack on top of each other to make a penguin tower

@deusex2 lmao that looks like a desk fan

Haha, it is!

But that's besides the point. It looks steampunky enough to be in this game and at the same time not being a cheap anime trope.

So just use your imagination and imagine it being connected to a steam engine, hoisted at you back, and you attacking with it.

SUUPAAAAAAAA MEGAAAA WHIRLWIND ATTACKkkkkk

Snoooooopefrog

Why do we need to know?

Because it allows for a much better approximation of the level of activity we might expect to see with cheating than a simple 'something in place to deter'?

When diablo 3 was released the devs said it was uncrackable, it probably would have been, if it wasnt for the development team saying that, because all the hackers with something to prove jumped on board, and hacked diablo

Nothing they do will stop bots hacking, policing the server is the best way with basic protection to stop noob program runners.

Gms banning bot spamming so they have to rebuy the game, and having a Ingame hacking bot report system that gets actively policed, imo is the best way to deter them

I’d rather they kept away from the anime tropes that are currently hitting the major MMOs. I’d much rather see more unique things from like the Persians or something haha

Wouldn’t be too angry either way, would just prefer something a little more refreshing

definitely want to second this emotion. Nothing against anime (or Tolkien) per se, but with a world full of so many cultures to mine for tropes, hanging ten on the anime wave (or previous nordic-heavy fantasy realms) doesn't feature our devs' creativity the way adding the coolest costumes/weapons/mythos from less 'mined' areas would.

Persian sounds fun - so do Aztec & Ibo, Mauri & Tlingit.
Creating a fantasy space is one place that cultural appropriations can be truly constructive moves (c.f., N.K. Jemison's Hugo-winning spins of pan-African mythos)

Personally The theme I Like best is H. P. Lovecraft.
Some of the best monsters, are spawned from his Lore.

@Specter said in Anti-Hack/Cheat/Bot:

@CodeTsilon The devs will have something in place to deter cheats/bots.

Are we allowed to know how much of the game's mechanics (rough guesstimate) is going to be server permission and how much client prediction?

Why do we need to know?

@Xzoviac
Something a bit like that ? (I don't think you can fire a lot of things with this kind of fan, but it can be in this style ^^

Or you have this one, way less steampunk, but can be used as a weapon

I Like the Knife, the other Reminds me of the giant Shurkens

@Esher said in Fan Weapon Type:

Remind me "The man with iron fists", and the woman using a fan as her weapon ^^ It could work, but so the fan need to be integrated, as it's more eastern, as other people said. But it seem that fans, as we know them, was introduced in Europe during the XVI era. It may be a bit too late according to the Fractured era (that seem way more Middle Age), but it could work, I guess.

I think steampunk could have a steampunk style fan, using steam to make fan wind attacks, or fire needles, steampunk ninjas would be cool

Koooooooooooooooooooooooopa

A fan would be cool for a monk/ninja style build

I am actually getting quite concerned about the whole project atm. In MMORPGs the RPG part and especially character progression is one of the main cores.

You have no reason to be concerned. The core is safe.

Well I could be more precise and mention vertical progression. Horizontal is more like "progression", it does not feel like you are getting forward and actually you are not. So the core of RPG part is not safe.

I am personally very disapointed about those changes towards pure horizontal mentality and how too many aspects feels now pointless without any reasonable progression. It is not just the the abilities, but what I have lately red about gear and crafting too. Nothing appealing there if almost everything is just bland equal. Blaah.

I think we also need to consider, that the game will be tweeked to make it fun and feel worthwhile, and if something is not working it will be changed (hopefully)

worrying about the system before its even created (when in fact it could be amazing) is a little odd, i think before we say, yeah this is pointless its not for me, whatever

we should at least let the devs make there system. and test it at face value

@PeachMcD said in Pet system can be based on UO or Daoc?:

We can get COMBAT PETS?? That's awesomesauce. I want one of those elementals for sure.

Not everything in game will be tameable , but hopefully they will be

@Tuoni said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

If that so, this sounds kind of bad news from character progression and exploration point of view. If level 1 ability is enough to gap the power, why even bother to travel around the world and level up more? To get cosmetic spell effects? I don't think so.

I am actually getting quite concerned about the whole project atm. In MMORPGs the RPG part and especially character progression is one of the main cores. If players do not get the feeling of progression, that will not upkeep the intrest of players for long either. Going too far with having only horizontal progress in every aspect can easily have negative impact for longevity of the game. I hope this point has at least thought in the risk management.

its not just a cosmetic effect , for example a fireball that was thrown may now turn in to a tick over time that surrounds the player and turns it in to a AOE burn, doing the same dmg but behaving differently

@PeachMcD said in Pet system can be based on UO or Daoc?:

Hi guys - per wiki and store, any pet in this game is "cosmetic only and doesn't engage in battle"
I love my rl pets, but am glad to know that I don't need to feed or walk anything in-game
Also glad I don't need to watch out for a tamer pc with a gang of evolved dragons.

My and my little fox gonna just be buddies.

think they are more talking about tameable pets (they are combat pets it was a stretch goal)

Nice work, looking forward to trying it

@Gothix said in Reserve a name separately?:

Perhaps a system like a blizzard has. Account name, which would be the name we are active under in forums by default (and could be changed once, if people wished, because they didn't plan on it being forum name, so give everyone one inital possibility to change it if they like, then keep it), and then character names in game would be independent of it.

But friends could be found through account name.

For example: my account name would be Gothix but I wouldn't need to have character named Gothix in game, I could have demon named Demonicus, and beastman named Beasty, and people could still find me by searching my account name (Gothix).

Of course if people wished to played incognito, privacy option would exist to be turned on, so people who don't wish their characters known can't be found through account name.

---

Initially, system could set account name to already existing forum user name, and allow people one free change, if they wished, as long as what they wish isn't taken already.

Id like that system , providing its #01 onward

it always annoys me in blizzard that im Xzoviac#2357 , when im 100% the only Xzoviac, i should be Xzoviac#01 or #0001

@Pwnstar said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

@Xzoviac He's clearly talking about choosing attributes, like STR or INT. And then claims those don't change through gameplay. Uh, what?

And then I craft a pair of pants that gives +5 INT.

Yeah I get your point, I just see it as him saying your base stats dont change, and gear is just enhancements to your stats

So you stats could looked like this

18 + 4
12 +2
8 +0
10 -3
13 -1

The + and - being grear stats the actual original stats never changeing
