King Arthur's Role-Playing Server

I've suggested a light melee/ranged hybrid class for elves, sadly will have to wait for the next major update until we can script such a class. I already added such a class in the race overview a while ago but it still hasn't been added.

I actually had an idea to make a sealed OOC area where everyone spawns but from there players need to enter a one way teleporter that works for their specific faction only.

Sadly at the moment one way teleporters are not available so the tower will have to do until someone can script that or we wait for the next major update. :(

 

Well If the server doesnt do any better if you want I can give ya access on my server and you could try running it their.

 

you can make some groups to make this all easier:
------health intel act/pas extra

dwarf high high active no archers

elf low high pass economical

goblin mid low pasnothing really... except that they can kill anyone for fun, "just because"

man midd high active nothing really

health is the number of hearts,
intelligence the number of things they can use,
and active means that a race can use spikes and doors, while passive means they cant.
as you can see the dwarfs get six/six, but they dont have archers. = five
elves get two, but they are quite usefull: four arrows a hit, and cheap wooden structures. = four?
goblins one, and furthermore practically nothing.
and men get five.
(middle is one point, high two, the points for extra are just my own oppinion.)
scores:
dwarves: five.
elves: four
men: five
goblins: one, maybe two

my tips:
give goblins lots of lives. four or five, at least.
give elves a melee knockback attack. it doesnt need to damage, but knockback would be more legolaslike or something. more elvish as in the books and movies.
the dwarves can live without archers, so a little life reduction wont hurt them that much either; four lives max.
men are fine, well balanced, not too powerfull, not too easy to kill.

 

Server is down still? Kinda wanted to play this morning :(

 

The Dwarves don't have a pre-built fortress, all they have is a hole. They are overpowered as warriors though, if they were slower it would be ok. I think orcs should do more damage to make them better and should automatically be able to see in the dark so that they are total evil ninjas.

Also, when they add lancers, we should add Rohan as a faction, in dark green, cause that would be awesome.

 

*Nods* Yes I agree that orcs are severely under-powered atm. Mostly because orcs we're originally supposed to be a race of weak goblins but we decided to remake them in to a mixture of the two (orcs & goblins). Orc berserkers will be on par with dwarven warriors (4 hearts) while still doing a bit more damage (2 hearts on a charged swing) and be able to perform a shoulder ram which is basically like shield bash only that it does 0.5 hearts of damage if the opponent isn't defending with a shield. (still need to see if we can add the shoulder slam, fingers crossed)

Dwarves atm are overpowered mostly because we used the ones from VanHuek's previous server, DvG (dwarves vs Goblins) where the dwarves there had 6 hearts. So yeah, they'll get nerfed down and be on par with orcs when it comes to health.

All races will be able to use doors in the future, sadly atm only red and blue can use doors which, is annoying truly. :(

Also... weird that dwarves had a pre-made fortress, I though all races started with nothing... huh...

Sadly I still can't log on to see for myself but I suspect that most people prefer playing dwarves so chances are that most players build a lot on the dwarf faction. The map is persistent really so what you build remains there I believe. Just a hunch!

Once I manage to get a reply from Van I'll get working on a new map. I plan on terra forming the terrain to make it look more natural and add a few pre-made buildings for each faction. Maybe even some underground caverns for orcs & goblins. Underworld anyone?

 

The server's up earlier and now it is down.

 

if you start adding middle earth stuff, I will hack the server and make porn sites show up every ten minutes.
I swear, dont make me do that.

 

damn well its 8am my time so it was on at like midnight i guess

 

they dont have a pre-made fortress! just a hole.

 

so what? they can turn it into a base easily.
the goblins have a cunk of wood, with a pit under it.
the men have a flat land without too much obstacles,
the elves got a tree infested piece of dirt, where you cant build without cutting a whole tree down,
the dwarves have an entire base dug out, they just need some furniture.

 

what? Rohirrim would be cool, the lore is middle-earth anyway. Don't mind about the porn tho.

 

its gay porn.

EDIT:
another idea: more maps.
the same map will keep creating the same stuff,
goblins should live between the humans and the elves, for a change.
or maybe have the dwarves in the middle of the map, and have everyone pay to dig gold or pass their hill!
more maps please! just put them in the cycle!

 

oh...never mind..you gotta admit though, an all lancer faction would be cool.

 

why did the server drop all of a sudden?
I wanna play! tomorrow i leave for a week..
i wanna play as much as possible till then.
get the server on! i beg of you! MY TREES!
I CAN FEEL IT! THEYRE CUTTING THEM!
LEMME SEE MY TREES! I GOTTA PROTECT THEM!
ILL SHOOT YOU IF YOU DONT! AAAAHAAHAHAHHH
*WHINE* CRY *MUTTER* RAGE *CRY*

 

How long has it been off?

 

fifteen minutes or so?

that was.. ..an act?
oh. didnt notice.

 

I got back 10 mins ago.
I still think if they made dwarves slower, much slower, made elves much faster, and made orcs do more damage and see automatically in the dark it would sort out most of the balancing issues.

 

what do you mean?
