BUILD 1337 - Back on Track

Ok. I've noticed that a lot of people complain about archer being too predictable now.

Huehue, worth mentioning.

 

i reckon that kag should have xp and leveling up makes it more fun.

 

Please no.

 

this logic is flawed itself because you assume that KAG developers try to appeal to the "competitive" playerbase while they actually try to make the vanilla version of the game more enjoyable.

furthermore, you can easily mod the game yourself to actually be better and more suited for competitive gameplay (why this hasn't been done, baffles me greatly)

 

I would prefer the game less moddable and more lag free. Meaning no angel script as basic engine

 

I was one of those who asked for modability. Did I mod much? No, I must admit not. I'm not sure it was just me being lazy though; I think making useful mods for KAG is rather complicated - it could be made even easier and more modular. It's really possible to make some cool stuff though, we've seen examples of that.

I've had some ideas myself, but the amount of time I know I'd have to put into it (I looked at the scripts and all that), and the visual quality I think it deserves, is beyond what I'm willing to spend on it. Even if I did decide to, it would go pretty much unrewarded.

Balanced teams, yes, but not classes ;)

Sadly, that did happen. I fondly remember the mishaps that occurred with falling trees and saws. All that is just gone now. Not quite you meant, I think, but anyway. Zombie mode was cut though.

 

Actually, I find the KAG lib quite complete and easy to use, even though sometimes buggy, and Angelscript is a good way to keep an easy-to-use language powerful. Plus angelscript is quite close to c++ which made developers' job easier. Learning a language only following examples might be hard, in that case learn a C-like language (C++ for example) and then learn Angelscript as there aren't a lot of (goods) tutorials about angelscript afaik.

More and more (as far i can tell, i might be wrong though) people wants to get into modding but might find that hard (@stabborazz for example maybe) first. Maybe some of these wishes to do that kind of tweaks... But yet, right, barely no one did "balancing" mods (iirc skinney started making one and abandonned it)

Getting killed because your class is inferior isn't somewhat very fun I guess?

I think this update is good. This and the previous builds combined balanced the game a good way in my opinion. Only one of each would have unbalanced the game. I could tell the game is right balanced now, and i'm not against slight gameplay changes from now.

 

Are you implying Geti isn't gay

because according to the conversation I had with his mother last night, you're wrong

 

Spoiler: i see through your tricks, and attempted ruses

 

What's this thread about?

 

What's all this, then? I leave for a few months and all of the sudden @Geti goes to an alternate dimension and starts batting for the other team??

 

You know what might make people a little less peeved about how certain classes are more OP/UP? A system where you can switch out to another class without the need for a tent/shop in order to do so. Of course make it hold functional limitations such as if you switch at a tent or a shop your HP is healed instantly, but during battle/on the field by manually switching with say a certain button, it calculates current damage and carries over/converts the damage done to your current class. This could also quickly speed up game play if you can do so with like 3 buttons, and having it where you keep what is carried per class so you won't have to go back and get it. Sort of like a super extended inventory based on the quick class switch system. It'd allow for more actions without having to run away.

For instance say you're an archer while a knight or two is after you and you've not yet learned how to use the archer properly. You do quick select, and change right then and there to defend yourself, while also whatever you were holding when you were a Knight before being the archer originally, carries over. So you could have bombs, or food.

 

>5 knights force themselves through to the front, murdering everyone
>all turn into builders and suddenly start termiting and destroying all shit

Spoiler: a balancing funtime

 

Sigh when will the OSX version be fixed. I wanna try this build out -_-

 

That could be one of the limitations where builders can't be accessed unless at the tent/shop.

 

put suggestions in the proper thread.
