    Then the entire map floods. Yay.

  2. Buckets are already made. They're not enabled, but they are already made. And yes, Rayne's point is why. :P

    I think I finally understand why the devs are taking a long time to prepare and then throwing everything at us at once.

    If you introduce any single feature into the game, everyone will go nuts on that feature for at least a week. Here's a really bad example to think about: what if Archers suddenly had the ability to shoot 10 medium-strength arrows at once in a spread at the cost of a heart of health?

    You know the answer: Everyone would be shooting shotgun arrows like crazy despite the fact that it would probably get them killed because of its cost.

    But if you overwhelm the players with tons of new features, they won't know what to spam. Problem solved. ;)

    what? no. that doesn't make sense:huh?:. they're rewriting the whole damned engine. the new features do not work in the current engine so they can not be released one at a time. if they released the engine itself it would be devoid of features and no one would be happy with it. just calm down and be patient.

    Probably more one for the modders, but buckets that used water as a projectile would be a good workaround. Afterall, spilling a bucket of water is probably more likely just to make the soil a bit soggy rather then induce a wrath of god flood on the land... not that we're dealing with a realistic game or anything, but there is a certain logic to it in lot of areas.

  6. Actually my guess, and from what I can tell, they're mainly going to be used to put fires out.

    i still want to see buckets of hot oil in a catapult or pouring fire down your front wall on your enemies' heads.

    When I say "projectile" I mean in terms of game logic, not that it'll cause damage ;)

    We'll do a video on fire as soon as the effects for it are sorted out (they're placeholders at the moment) and the damage is balanced properly. Buckets "splash" water through tiles to put out fire in a large area.

    I find it amusing that you assume that I am being impatient when my original intent was simply to make a joke. I don't believe I'm the one who needs to calm down here.

    Do I hint at all at the fact that I am impatient for the release? No. I am hyped, yes, and I stated that the devs are taking a while, which is a fact, but did I say anything along the lines of 'the devs need to hurry it up already'? No.

    Just FYI outside of America most places use DD/MM/YY dating because it makes significantly more sense than putting the medium length time increment first, and because "/" means "of", as in "the Seventh of January of 2013" in that date. The more you know.

    So essentially, PinXviiN wants Geti to turn KAG into Minecraft...

    Dude, if you really hate this game so much, why bother? You can go play that exact game mode in Minecraft. I think the devs are trying to do something original. There are also tons of Minecraft clones on the Mac AppStore, tons of other independent developers trying to cash in with Minecraft clones, etc. King Arthur's Gold is it's own game. WAR is the mode they're working on. I'd rather keep it that way.

    Less off topic on which country is better because all people suck anyways and ergo the Moon is the best place.

    Seriously though please stay on topic (and I'd have given Geti a warning if I could for causing the off topic in the first place, but I can't)

    You guys are forgetting some people are testers, and they have KAG 1.0 files. for them, the bucket is in the files. ( and thats what he meant by "they are in the files" (refering to kag 1.0 testing ) )

    That's exactly the problem. PinXviiN is not a tester and should not have access to any such files.

    Could it not be in the current KAG folder considering that fire and that was gonna be in classic KAG, and the devs will have almost certainly pissed about with a bucket in the current engine?

    Ah, yes. There is a rope sprite in the classic KAG Base.
