Discussion Suggestions and Ideas

It all does reak with potential, although hosting considering the game already lags as is from time to time could it really be supported on a single server that manages multiple maps? And if it's multiple servers, that's more servers he has to pay for is it not? I mean if it is on a single server maybe since everyone won't be loading everything everyone does on the same map it won't lag but, I have no idea.

 

I can run multiple KAG servers on my VPS, so it's not a problem.

 

Either rent out a multi-core server, or build a multi-core in your backyard.

The most major things I want are:

1. Less Large Area Lag due to Massive Map Size, by partitioning
2. Larger Maps, by partitioning, because people need more space to build on, and fight over.
3. Event/Adventure/Dungeon Maps, by partitioning, because people honestly need something to do, they can appear/disappear regularly, especially when they are unoccupied for long periods of time, and are mostly destroyed.
4. Could allow for the return of Goblins (Purple, Builder, Valley, Stone), and Trolls (Orange, Knight, Mountain, Gold), or the introduction of the Exiled (White, no set spawn) because of the additional space
   1. Could Allow Races in general to be less tied to spawn tents (To encourage migration, outposts, and border fortresses), and more to a central, constructed fortress/spawn.

Major things I can see include possible paradigm shifts in how maps are laid out (Realms can reset, migrate, and un/link edges...), which affects how wars and diplomacy are carried out (because of linking/migration/resting, races can have entire realms used as resetting no-man's lands; Races on neighboring realms can be isolated when the linked edge is unlinked).
Races can migrate to take advantage of this, or to simply be nomadic.

 

The issue with the bridging is that data cannot be sent between servers and therefore Diplomacy would be broken. Though I will consider using the idea for events.

 

Hmmm, if only there was an I/O file that could be read by the servers.
People have used dats, and java files to do this sort of thing in a junk game like Cortex Command that doesn't support pretty much most things people've done to it.
(Edit I: Is there script that connects in-game chat to an irc-channel? That could be used to taxi messages, and even data between servers. I've seen hidden/private channels used as data streams)

But yeah, for events, you can pretty much excuse any notion of "Homeland Diplomacy", if you want races to take the roles of siegers, and besieged. Compete in dungeon crawling, etc etc.

 

A sky map where u have limited resources and have to work as a TEAM to get down to the surface and destory the zombie spawners in heavily guarded castles. Im actually working on a map for you that has this but im not sure it will fit the description...

 

So will the angel class be a knight, archer or builder? And could they like pick up other players? Because that would be an easy way to get rid of sky-rocketing greifers and bring up people to the island.

 

I just got a complaint, Fix Donor perks. Them being able to go on Angel island and bomb people from above + Able to grief without punishment + Able to Abuse votekick by switching teams and switching back to angels. This is a problem, trust me.

 

You can't fix the boat glitch sense It doesn't have anything to do with Aphelions mod Its a KAG glitch.

 

That makes it ok to glitch up and grief?

 

Well, so you want to get rid of the angel island? Everybody gets up there, especially you. Anybody up there can grief basically. And if you don't want to be votekicked, don't do votekick inducing things, because the people up there normally are people who want the server to be a good place, so why would they grief?

 

I don't see a reason to have Angel island, I see something a bit better that WONT get donators abusing on your land for going up there. Also GRIEFING? Hardly, the fact that angels don't build anything up there and most of the buildings are from players. When the Angels usually just come down and fuck up the land on the other races. GLITCHING, no one can do anything about that, its just natural If it is against the rules I can guarantee about 10 - 20 people will get banned and/or leave the server alone.

 

Griefing isn't just destroying stuff. It also can include placing spikes everywhere for no reason, excessively building useless structures of any sort, digging random holes, and other things of the sort. And also if most of the structures are from players that we brought up or like, does it matter?

 

Those spikes were meant to protect my building that I was trying to make, on the side of angel island NOT disturbing your land to the FAR right. Which renders It invalid for girefing, my structure is also called "Useless" now too?

 

Far right eh? I could literally see you when I zoomed out.
Also, it being a natural kag thing, how does it make it ok to go up on the island when all the vips clearly hate it?

 

You're the only one that hates it, Klok was on he said he didn't care if you did it or not. You could see me when you zoomed out: "How does that matter?" -redseven

I'm gonna stop right here because this sub-forum isn't called "Flame war Fantastica"

 

I was simply stating that you can't go to the far right to get away from the tent. It's in the middle of the island. :P
whenever other vips are on, and people like you are up, vips want to get them off like nothing else. AND, if you didn't see there's an admin version of the boat glitch that's ok, and sometimes i like having other players up, just not the ones that go up without permission.

 

I mean't I was going to the tips of the islands. :d

 

Well, if you just didn't place tunnels all the time and acted like the island was yours, I would be fine having you up there.

 

Ikr, and I find this funny how this whole argument was started over using a glitch and breaking a rule displayed in the chat sometimes.
