I think this is the wrong place to talk about daoc it dont matter <`Darkov> balance is impossible unless you give everything to all sides cos its topics realting to De yep all classes have to be available to all sides * `Darkov quote is "Balance is perception, I pity the blind" * beast is now known as Lorient * tHe_MaN has joined #de-devchat StarCraft was balanced so it is possible <`Darkov> not perfectly :) <`Darkov> but damn close lol i agree with the not perfectly * IceRaider has joined #de-devchat sc was amazing * markz has joined #de-devchat when i first got online wiht it i couldnt stop playing it had me addicted more than eq * Calistas sets mode: +vvv anun Arczy Arkzein * Calistas sets mode: -vvv anun Arczy Arkzein testing stuff, please ignore :) :) * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Indrek Ingenu Interman :P * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Indrek Ingenu Interman hmm hmm hmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm Starcraft sucked well I've to say I'm a bit tired of games being 100% based on leveling hmm I liked the +v markz You just rushed with marines/dragoons/etc starcraft did not suck ar from it :) far* * Calistas sets mode: +o markz Though I loved the UMS-maps :) Right, lets get this on the road in just one minute whoo... 2 devs at the same time <`Darkov> Cal, answer my spell question :P hi! email it :p <`Darkov> bah <`Darkov> give me a cookie :P * Artaka_Chrest|cooking has joined #de-devchat * WNxChavez has joined #de-devchat im here as the silent spectator Starting in a minute lol, what about this Combat/character Vids you were talking about a while back, any word? or are they the Feb newsletter surprise? ;) * CMX has joined #de-devchat * WNxChavez looks at his comp clock...its past 20:00 ;) It's 22:01 here * Gwaihir`Nitela checks clock only 12pm here all vids will be feb/march. we'll see. 22.01 cool ^_^ ty :) I have also 10.02 PM :) vids are good * Artaka_Chrest|cooking is now known as Artaka_Chrest|eating hehe just asking stratics a favor. aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i have an exam today Global shout? :) * inoe has joined #de-devchat help me calistas lol yeah, when it goes out we'll start wow its artaka @irc :) lol * p0x has joined #de-devchat :) * Tomek- has joined #de-devchat * ChaoS has joined #de-devchat * WulfeWork has joined #de-devchat * gandalfina has joined #de-devchat * Krimis_SuuArk has joined #de-devchat * THE_PUNISHER has joined #de-devchat * naapa has joined #de-devchat * Miliwen[work] has joined #de-devchat * Para has joined #de-devchat * count_zero has joined #de-devchat * Talaris-TC has joined #de-devchat * Erusun has joined #de-devchat boo * Jenai has joined #de-devchat * Caigan[FE] has joined #de-devchat :) * Burrator[DW] has joined #de-devchat * FUGZ has joined #de-devchat heh heh woah lol * Gem has joined #de-devchat * iduro has joined #de-devchat * Trist-TC has joined #de-devchat * Raistlen has joined #de-devchat rofl Right, chat starting in one minute. * poisoned has joined #de-devchat * VT|Cypher has joined #de-devchat * Chasure-IG has joined #de-devchat * marcbot has joined #de-devchat * Vadrien has joined #de-devchat * Galadus has joined #de-devchat there's massive cloning oh dear, joinspam :) * Gwaihir`Nitela is now known as Gwai|serious`face * LEX-Juron[VV] has joined #de-devchat +m r0x * BlindGuard has joined #de-devchat is that the shadowbane wanna be game?

Hello veryone. I'm Calistas, the Community Liaison Manager for Dragon Empires ( http://www.dragonempires.com) * [TE]SoulWare has joined #de-devchat * Calistas plugs :> * [TE]SoulWare has left #de-devchat Also here is MarkZ, a lead designer on the project (that's right Mark?) * Raelin has joined #de-devchat * XERiON has joined #de-devchat * Rochar has joined #de-devchat * Jape^ has joined #de-devchat Correct * mikey has joined #de-devchat * djbkxr has joined #de-devchat Working out of the US ... California I'm in the UK Tonight we are having a discussion where YOU lot get to tell us what YOU want. * GrimProphet has joined #de-devchat Glad to have everyoone with us * Helldog has joined #de-devchat First up we will discuss Dungeons and what you like to see in 'em, and how you like them to 'feel' and how you like them to play. * Miliwen[work] has left #de-devchat Second, we will discuss Quests and the kind of quests you like in your RPGs. * Innocent_Target has joined #de-devchat * Daithi has joined #de-devchat try and think of games you played that had cool systems you particularly enjoyed. Last we will discuss crafting and what you think makes a good crafting system. * Boris_Gorbachev has left #de-devchat First, Mark and I will talk a little about a topic, then we'll open up the chat to people in about 10 at a time, for a few minutes. Then I'll unvoice those people and move to the next * Cthulhu|Work has joined #de-devchat otherwise we'll all get spammed :> * CMX has left #de-devchat ----------- DUNGEONS ----------- * Jenai has left #de-devchat So Mark, what do you like in a dungeon? :> * LEX-Leviathan[SW] has joined #de-devchat * mikey has left #de-devchat heh heh * CMX has joined #de-devchat atmosphere for one Myself, I want teaming adventure against tough guys.. and the better I get, the deeper I go till i find the sword of uBerNess hehe. * Zaunder has joined #de-devchat (and then I fight with my friends over who gets to keep it :D ) Atmosphere is good. I like having a variety of different dungeons to explore too yup. Ok, let's open it up a bit :> * Calistas sets mode: +vvv anun Arczy Arkzein * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Artaka_Chrest|eating BlindGuard Burrator[DW] * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Caigan[FE] ChaoS Chasure-IG * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Caigan[FE] ChaoS Chasure-IG Hiya mark Hello Dev's * Calistas sets mode: +vvv CMX Connin count_zero * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Cthulhu|Work Cutmaster DaEmOnS_ChiLd * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Daithi DigitalPhear djbkxr hey can we ta Ok guys, chat away.. you get a few minutes of your ideas, then I shut you up and move on to the next bunch oops * BlindGuard has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Amberyl has joined #de-devchat I'll keep opening till it gets too spammy lol * Retrieving #de-devchat info... * waxar has joined #de-devchat * Arkzein has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) * DigitalPhear shifty eyes Many dungeons to choose from is good, massive areas is good for big open epic dungeons, * Darvin has joined #de-devchat * Envie has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Amberyl Darvin Elhana Hey - I like atmosphere but mostly what I like is no campgrounds have you considered torches to light dark dungeons so that they really are dark? hello. :P Dp, im voiced too. :P to add to the suprise when u get attacked and make more use of magic that makes light? Yeah Daemon, that's fun. And yes, no cmaping is good.. feels like an amusement park then i gues.s my first question would have to be, is the dungeon play going to be ala EQ, in which its very monotonus (try to get the key to open the door to kill the bigger badguys to get the key, etc etc)? I think we had this kind of request already, but here it goes: dungeons should fit in with the lore **** Will the game have solo'able classes? IE: Stealthers from daoc, that choose to solo to gank people and not join a party to team up with? Thank you, Calistas :) no questions Anun. ok * Naseem has joined #de-devchat * Buccaroo has joined #de-devchat Make the loot split so no like casters get the uber broadsword of death I don't think we'll have key hunts and so on, eh Mark? how about like rock beasts that hide actually in slots in the walls and stuff, and walk out and attack you randomly? also a good point Chas! * Galadus has left #de-devchat Its good to have new areas to explore Good variety helps ... You want ot be able to be challenged in different dungeons as your character improves * [TK]Connovor has joined #de-devchat Also, dungeons that support group play are cool hi * Owoc has joined #de-devchat * Tomek- has left #de-devchat * AC has joined #de-devchat Feel free to jump in once you've been voiced one thing i dont want to end up doing is staying in the dungeon 100% of the time because all the newbie mobs are outside Dynamic content is good, knowing that uber-monster B spawns in so-and-so is ok, but its more fun if you only know the type of mob that will spawn isntead of exact details. High level areas should not be full of annoying low level mobs that simply get in the way and provide no gain to the player in killing * Jape^ has left #de-devchat Atmosphere that fits the dungeon is key, and also the layout pays an important part. Dungeons that change (dynamic) every so often would break their monotony after a while thanks! Like split it upon highest level and class for large epic areas. * Dresden has joined #de-devchat how about rock beasts that hide in slots in the walls and walk out and attack un noticed? that might be fun * attriel has joined #de-devchat * p0x has left #de-devchat No suprise mobs are TERRIBLe ideas * ERLAND has joined #de-devchat dungeons should be a complete world of their own making sense They get people frustrated way too fast not mobs one or two individuals * LEX-Leviathan[SW] has left #de-devchat why do you think suprise MOBs are terrible? Devs always make dungeons too...linear. They need more of a dynamic element to them... that is, dont just stuff monsters in there and be happy some dungeons would benefit from Traps and whatnot (and open up another area of skill of disarming them) * Naseem has left #de-devchat If they suprise a group and totally whipe them it can ruin someone's entire day. how about some books that u can read in dungeon libraries? i always enjoy chillin to a book * Talaris-TC has left #de-devchat monsters should have relations as well to other monsters ( goblins dont like skeletons creaping around in there dungeon/cave/stronghold Dynamic dungeons are a great idea, i hope thats how dragon empires finally turns out Yes trap's are good. Suprise high level mobs is bad. * Devalin has joined #de-devchat books also can make u feel like the world existed before you got there * waxar has left #de-devchat Aye * Kandalor has joined #de-devchat but the trap COULD be monsters. If you, say, research the dungeon a bit, or know of what can happen, you will be ready for it literature ala Ultima Online is nice going to start changing the voice now hehehehe :p BAH EVIL DEVELOPERS! * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Amberyl anun Arczy * Owoc has left #de-devchat aye, ultima lit is great * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Artaka_Chrest|eating Burrator[DW] Caigan[FE] heh heh * Calistas sets mode: -vvv ChaoS Chasure-IG CMX :( * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Connin count_zero Cthulhu|Work * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Cutmaster DaEmOnS_ChiLd Daithi I want me voice :P Like if you had a dungeon that was occupied by orcs, maybe have the orcs change things around between your trips * Kandalor has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: -vvv Darvin DigitalPhear djbkxr * Calistas sets mode: -v Elhana * Muterad|ekta\bg has joined #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Elhana ERLAND Erusun * Gets has joined #de-devchat * Odinized has joined #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Flech FUGZ galGaf * Calistas sets mode: +vvv gandalfina Gem Gets * WulfeWork has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +vvv GrimProphet Guest479165174 Gwai|serious`face i think these dungeons should be based on the climate outside so if its a winterscape than the dungeon should be like an ice cave and so on like a dingy wet hole for sumwhere in a swamp that would make it a whole lot more atmospheric * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Helldog IceRaider iduro * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Indrek Ingenu Innocent_Target * Calistas sets mode: +vvv inoe Interman Krimis_SuuArk thats my input damn you MIRC! :> * cactus has joined #de-devchat * Dj_Spy has joined #de-devchat thanks any more thoughts from you lot? * FUGZ has left #de-devchat i like the idea of having the monsters changing things around after u leave a dungeon We'll have a general follow up voiced bit at the end * Calistas sets mode: +vvv LeonRed LEX-Juron[VV] Lorient * VT|Cypher has left #de-devchat * Darvin has left #de-devchat * Darvin has joined #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +vvv magik marcbot mccorn would be cool for the place to look inhabited so if u say kill off a large group of goblins one time say trolls move in next time not just empty rooms with monsters make some dungeons with really small and smelly halls and stuff, try to make it scary :) * sentiem has left #de-devchat changing mobs is an interesting idea. although not every room needs to be filled also they shouldn't spawn @ the same place, and never when we see them smell is hard to convey :D * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Microbe_X MiniDee MorbidDeath * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Muterad|ekta\bg naapa Odinized you get the point :) * Calistas sets mode: +vvv Para Partsa Pen[SUN] make it seem like if u were there it would smell bad hi ok ... what about the element of suprise which has been brought up * Calistas sets mode: +v poisoned eq did the changing mobs well there shouldnt be any key hunts .. only simple dark labyrinth in one sub dungeon that I can think of where do they change? static spawns are lame and loot that drops off of static spawns is lame * Connin has left #de-devchat try to make the dungeon atmosphere correct it breeds farming/camping true Hi! Well first plit it into leveling dungeon (simple design u're here for XP not to look at it ) and some real quest dungeon which all should focus on different athmosphere. For quest dungeon, i wish they could be number of players limited (with a delay and then reseted) so you dont get with a group of 50 and make the reward easy :) I honestly don't know of a way to make it better off hand tho rather then make named mobs, if that's what you do, spawn in random locations if that makes sense WE can have spawns that move and change, interesting idea * CMX has left #de-devchat try to make thing life-like how do dragons play into the game like, the monsters should have reasons to be where they are that would be awesome but i thought people liked the idea of 'safe' spots in dungeons to rest and recover well cose DE is kinda group based there should be alot high lvl mobs. Only a complete fool goes to dungeon alone moving and varied spawns would stop that cause going into a dungeon and shouting, 'camp check' kind of detracts from the atmosphere people fighting over what mob their camping and sitting in one spot pulling mobs for hours yuck * Odinized has left #de-devchat ok lets massvoice w000 camping the same sort of mobs all the time is rather boring * Calistas sets mode: +v ChanServ * Calistas sets mode: +v Exca_ * Calistas sets mode: +v markz * Calistas sets mode: +v Supersam * Calistas sets mode: +v Elhana * Calistas sets mode: +v ERLAND What are Dragon Empire's System Requierments? * Calistas sets mode: +v Erusun * Calistas sets mode: +v Flech * Calistas sets mode: +v galGaf ummm cant remember if this was already in a faq but there should be like pack hunting mobs that if they see u they will hunt depending on what kind of creature they are it would make walking through the forest a whole lot more scary * Calistas sets mode: +v gandalfina * Calistas sets mode: +v Gem * HemPWarrioR{GF} has joined #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +v Gets * Calistas sets mode: +v GrimProphet * Calistas sets mode: +v Guest479165174 * Haste\ZzZ has joined #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +v Gwai|serious`face * Calistas sets mode: +v Helldog * Calistas sets mode: +v IceRaider * Calistas sets mode: +v iduro OK, doesn't it go kinda much? * Calistas sets mode: +v Indrek * Calistas sets mode: +v Ingenu * Calistas sets mode: +v Innocent_Target is that a mass voice ? ;) * Calistas sets mode: +v inoe one thing that eq did in some of their sub dungeons that I've noticed, is make it impossible to back trace when your moving thru a dungeon * Calistas sets mode: +v Interman * AC has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +v Krimis_SuuArk * THE_PUNISHER has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +v LeonRed to expand on Para's idea, maybe have the monsters you're hunting be nomads that kill other monsters in the dungeon--so that spawns are not static and hunting them feels more realistic--that way you can chose a side(factioning) and maybe buy things from the other faction and house with them etc. * Calistas sets mode: +v LEX-Juron[VV] * Calistas sets mode: +v Lorient * Darvin has left #de-devchat Please, use the /mode +vvv for voices. This is flood. * Calistas sets mode: +v magik and they spaced the mobs in a way that makes it impractical to camp one area * Calistas sets mode: +v marcbot * Haste\ZzZ has left #de-devchat * Calistas sets mode: +v mccorn * Calistas sets mode: +v Microbe_X * Calistas sets mode: +v MiniDee * Calistas sets mode: +v MorbidDeath * Calistas sets mode: +v Muterad|ekta\bg * Calistas sets mode: +v naapa * Calistas sets mode: +v Para * Calistas sets mode: +v Partsa * Calistas sets mode: +v Pen[SUN] * Calistas sets mode: +v poisoned * Calistas sets mode: +v Amberyl * Calistas sets mode: +v anun * Calistas sets mode: +v Arczy * Calistas sets mode: +v Artaka_Chrest|eating * Calistas sets mode: +v attriel * ChaoS has left #de-devchat Dark side of Massvoice... oops * Calistas sets mode: +v Buccaroo * Calistas sets mode: +v Burrator[DW] hehehe this is gonna be weird so many ppl at once * Calistas sets mode: +v cactus yeah that would be cool also, but faction, if it's anything like EQ, is so mind numbingly boring * Calistas sets mode: +v Caigan[FE] * Calistas sets mode: +v Chasure-IG * Calistas sets mode: +v count_zero * Calistas sets mode: +v Cthulhu|Work * Calistas sets mode: +v Cutmaster * Calistas sets mode: +v DaEmOnS_ChiLd This is ridicolous. * Calistas sets mode: +v Daithi just do -m its faster :) suprise attacks should be suprising, like every time we enter a dungeon we shud not know where and when we are goin to get attacked Good day calistaas * Calistas sets mode: +v Devalin * Calistas sets mode: +v DigitalPhear * Calistas sets mode: +v djbkxr * Calistas sets mode: +v Dj_Spy * Calistas sets mode: +v Dresden * Calistas sets mode: +v Raelin * Calistas sets mode: +v Raistlen * Calistas sets mode: +v Raptor-- * Calistas sets mode: +v Rochar yeah, static spawns make dungeons really easy, once you learn the pathing and the spawn points * Calistas sets mode: +v SkaTaN * Calistas sets mode: +v Supreem[BWC] * Calistas sets mode: +v TeichDragon * Calistas sets mode: +v tHe_MaN also maybe make spawns increase as more players enter the zone? * Calistas sets mode: +v Thorancal * Calistas sets mode: +v Trist-TC * Calistas sets mode: +v Vadrien hmm * Calistas sets mode: +v WNxChavez keep in mind this: if all we wanted to do was to explore deeper and deeper, through harder and harder mobs, in order to get that sword of uBeRnEsS, we could do that in EQ... make sure your dungeons are DIFFERENT in some way: good ideas might be the inclusion of random traps (generated randomly on the hour), random instant spawns, randomized loot... the key word here being RANDOM, in terms of a surprise. Static dungeons are boring, such as EQ's * GrimProphet has left #de-devchat (I believe Calistas wants to be able to unvoice people who would flood) * ChaosPhoenix has joined #de-devchat agreed. Traps and Suprises should also 'move around', like 'spawn points' would. it keeps things fresh and interesting * Calistas sets mode: +v WNxGhost
