Changes large and small

The thief should have a crouch/jump from the shadows type function.

 

loving the new kag2d.com look

 

All I want now is that badass thief hat.

 

It's just what I hoped for. The classes being less strict, the inventory/chat, and basically everything.

 

W00t. The barbarian will truly be the most manly man in KAG, and my class of choice.

The more frequent test build updates sound good, hopefully they'll go in use too. There's been some work on the Mantis, and I heard that MM has gone nuts with the bugs. Absolutely wonderful. Even that I haven't played this 'god-awful' build, I can say that the bugs in earlier versions were already overwhelming enough. I understand that this game is still in alpha, but some stability with the updates will / would be nice indeed.

Class progression thingy looks nice. I don't think that cutting wood or mining wood would be very interesting unless you come up with some genius ideas though, so maybe the resource gatherers could just be the same class? Or perhaps keep them as-is, but using axe to collect minerals and using pick to collect wood should be possible. Doesn't make a lot of sense I know, but does the system make completely sense currently? Pick and axe could just have some little buffs when used ''correctly''. Or maybe pickaxe? :P

This or that way, no one will want to play as the resource gatherers, not while the others are fighting. Most players can take in in the current version, because after collecting resources, they at least get to BUILD with the resources.

Collecting resources endlessly = Boring
Not collecting resources endlessly = Team doesn't get anywhere

You're overrestimating public games a little. If it requires builders to get over a 4-blocks high wall and the builders have no resources, the game will stall, or then no one bothers to build anything and just zerg rush. It'll be different if you have resource collectors, but if it's so boring, no one wants to play as one at least after the first few minutes. Surely one could just go to the mine level, mine, come back, switch to builder and go. But this is time-consuming, and what if the builder dies before getting to the frontlines? Boring boring.

This could be fixed with some money-stack like someone was suggesting, which isn't a bad idea either, in fact it is a good idea.

But it could also be DONE by making a lot of dangers in the mining level (or unless you don't want separate levels, just underground) and making mining stuff be an adventure in itself.

I'll edit something about the interface a little later.

 

New frontpage is fucking ace, very good work, the only thing I'd like to see is that outdated video been replaced really.

Good to know there's some solid planning for the future too, the classes are a little more numerous then I was expecting. Even if it's hard to balance it's at least symmetrical, and much more importantly I'd rather the devs took some risk to try make a game they wanna make then half arse it cos it might take a few months to fine tune.

 

Dudes, are we forgetting how much people love minecrafting in this game? Think about it.

 

This looks so sweet! Can't wait! :D Really loving the idea of new classes!

 

thank god you're embracing visible weaponry geti.

 

Very nice read.
Hopefully the coming updates will spark my interest in the game once more, as I kind of lost it.

 

the idea of adding evolving class trees is in its own right magnificent but i would still like to see more classes rather than the evolution of 3

 

Please keep the option for a server to have the classic archer-builder-knight classes. Though I assume that most of this will not be implemented in public servers (this much interdependence would completely ruin public servers) which I guess means that the classic CTF will still be there.

Basically I just hope that as much as possible is made server-optional so people don't lost the ability to play the game they love in case they don't like some change.

It all sounds awesome though, can't wait.

 

Same here. I love KAG but right now I'm just gonna chill and wait for the overworld!

 

You're gonna be waiting a while. This is a huge, HUGE update, and it's probably gonna take a year, if not longer.

 

Yeah I understand that but at least i'll have something to look forward to. I look at KAG like a antique. The longer I leave it to get older the more better it will be? You get me homie?

 

I get ya. Me personally? I'm not sure I could walk away from it that long. :D

 

I am the only one that believes this changes will be in 2 or 3 months :p?

Overworld will take years of course

 

I got onto the main page and i was confused and didn't know where i was haha
