Tiy on the IRC about quests, quest advancement, and the PLAN

Stumbled across this on twitter. This is from last night I believe. These are the highlights of the conversation and the full text can be found here.




Sounds very cool to me. Procedurally generated quests are a good thing if done well. And the PVP info, if it holds up, is cool as anything that I have read before. Ransoming other players? Robbing NPCs? TAKE MY MONEY!

This may be the first non mmo that I invest any time in the PVP side of things.

 

A nice find.

Holding players for ransom? That oughta be interesting xD

I like the freedom granted to the player that allows us to be whatever type of individual we want to be. Wanna be a space marauder? A hero of the people ? A lone adventurer who minds his/her own business? Very interesting. ^^

 

But I want to know how we would do that. How could we hold another player? How could the player escape? How could they prevent this from turning into a huge trolling fest?

 

Hopefully the holding other players aspect wouldn't be too obtrusive. Perhaps you'd mainly just be held hostage on that certain server? You'd still be able to do whatever in other places, but not that server.

It could help incorporate a kind of 'jail' aspect in a way for people who RP.

 

Prison planets! That's something I'd like to see.

In terms of RP aspects, maybe even incorporated in the game itself (with NPCs and such), players would have to survive in the harsh prison and planetary environments, having to gather a specific amount of materials under forced labour to meet the designated requirements. Maybe they'd even have to survive certain events, such as natural disasters (lava bursts, snow storms) and hostile creatures. ^^

Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick keep crossing my mind.

 

well as long as one way to achieve your quest involves killing the guide I am happy. What? it's not like I always keep the guide on the ground floor so he dies when there is a goblin invasion....
yeah but at this point I am not sure if I want to have my forst playthrough a multiplayer or single player game. they just have made multiplayer so good

 

That sounds infuriating.

 

....Bait Trap?
Promise level 70 guns and trap them in indestructible blocks.

 

Holding players for ransom?
As a pirate, i approve.

 

My WTF level would skyrocket.

 

So....
Who here will become the most hated player in the entire forums?

 

Too early to tell. But, I can tell you this, I will launch massive attacks to free players. VENGEANCE!

 

Tiy should add a feature that lets people know if someone on the server has a pirated version of the game so we can grief their houses and troll them with traps.

 

This sounds interesting. A lot of people have been wondering how the story aspect to the game would work, since that's what's been the least covered.

I am still in favor of just the sandbox version being released as a beta. I would play the brakes off of it.

 

I am 100% against the release of a public beta.

so.... if i go pvp i can hold much girls in prison just because?
seems good.
to bad girls in games are mostly just guys but there are some girls around here.....

 

Dont get too crazy with that...

 

Except for trolls and griefers,since we all know they deserve worse...

 

Too late...a booty pirate is born
