Overworld and Adventures

I think you should spawn a long distance from everyone so that (at least in game) you shouldn't be able to die and then inform others of peoples defenses immediately.

 

How about roleplaying a guy who's looking for his father's killer?

 

That's how I'd want it too. It would be lame if everybody could do everything themselves, which is what Geti was getting by saying you can change classes nearly instantly anytime it's available. Which, in my opinion, destroys the point of playing a role and building on that specific thing in your character's development. But if you can be a knight and run around, come to a door you can't get through, then leave and change to be proficient in lockpicking only to bypass the door, it just loses it's fun...I'd rather walk around a tavern looking to hire some thief to pick the lock for me, have him join my outfit and we adventure together.

*edit* Sorry Geti I was typing this before you had submitted that post explaining it and didn't see it until after I had posted this

 

I would think that multiclassing would be a good thing. Instead of a few identical top-level thiefs, there might be the thief who's also an expert swordsman, or a thief who teleports and summons fire imps. Being skilled enough and having the right equipment to combine separate classes could be something that the very best players use to their advantage. Low level players would have to specialize at first to be effective at what they want to do, but I see no reason to limit what a player can do if they put enough time and effort into improving their character. All this is dependent on this kind of stuff really requiring rare items and lots of time spent leveling and making enemies, but that just makes becoming a one-man superpower all the sweeter.

Or you could just go straight necromancer and be more awesome than everyone else. :D

 

but it's not like you can just change class from your bumbling merchant into an heroic knight, you will still need to put effort into training towards it otherwise you will still be killed by the people your trying to get past. Albeit you will look more threatening so it probably would still be best to get a couple of people to help you because people wouldnt be very afraid of some low level loner knight. and you would probably end up getting killed by a group if you were alone.

 

Wow so in depth and I liked alot of your ideas Jamburgular, and i read from page 1 to the end and on an iPod. A couple of things.
1- will combat be played like it is now.
And I haven't played much RPG type stuff or older generation stuff (only 14) but I have seen pokemon and like jamburgulur said will it like like how you walk around and it flashes around to the battle camera/in KAG'S 2D
2- Is it only Geti an MM making this game.
3- I don't understand the concept to the full extent but I do understand how the villages and stuff will work I just can't picture it all in 2D.
GHOZT 

 

imagine a map divided into tiny squares each like a big naught's and crosses game each village will take up one of them then when you enter it would be the 2d map you're familiar with in a way

edit: the lines wont actually be there itll be like mount and blades map i believe

 

Well don't take anything I say as fact, I was only throwing around ideas/my plans. I don't want it to seem like I'm speaking on Geti's behalf or something. I will answer what I can though

I imagine actual combat wouldn't change too much, other than the fact that people will be able to be much stronger. Although the game is in Alpha, and last patch knights were given an extra %5 charge time to their slash attack, so who knows. Things like that might be tweaked and tweaked until the final release, the combat may feel entirely different.

What I gather from the dev blog post about it, players will walk around on the Overworld map and when they come into contact with a village, city, or potential battle, they will be taken to it in their own separate and personal game area. Geti said in the blog about it "Each feature of the map would be a “map” in the current sense of the game, with players leaving the map by walking off the edges and entering each map from the overworld by walking into it."

And I don't know all the devs, but I know Geti and MM have a small team together. Whether the rest of them do coding and art, I am unsure of.

 

Ok thankyou for your help and I do know that everything that you say is not fact but I was complmenting you on some of your ideas.
Wow it is unimaginable what some of the towers and CITIES will look like after an hour of work let alone three. But this is going to take a very long time but I can't wait this is going to be awesome. Oh one more thing will you need to have Internet to play?

 

Are you asking if there will be a single player overworld mode or what?

You'll need internet to play with people using the internet. You won't need internet to play any single player modes that are available. You can probably play some sort of multiplayer over LAN with other people in your house, which is not the internet.

 

Ok yes thankyou because my Internet disconnects alot.

 

this whole concept of the overworld reminds me of the PW mod for mount and blade warband. where its basically a map where you spawn in with nothing, you have to earn it all by doing things like mercenary jobs and you can create and join factions, and wage wars. i hope it turns out like it.

 

I play it too and yeah I've been thinking of it the exact same way. In ever way it's been described it sounds similar...which is fine, because the persistent world mod was amazingly fun, but unfortunately limited.. whereas this will not be

 

So many possibilities but such limited progress due to so many bugs, I hope the progress of this game can continue and regain stability and reach the goal. I love KAG's idea of a game and have been watching it everyday to see the interesting news along with posting here with the wonderful community that is KAG forums. Hopefully this is what you all see in this game too.

 

This is EXTREMELY interesting.

I like all the proposed features!

I played till four AM last night and I'm already glad I bought the game.

On one map, I basically gathered resources and repaired our broken workshops, and that being a viable option felt really good.

On another map I pinned down the enemy archers so my knights could advance unharrassed.

and lastly I played a knight that dueled two people, keeping them occupied while my team swept their flank.

To think that this would get expanded to encompass a persistant kingdom? that is pure genius.

 

well said. I was thinking the same exact thing, except the concept was to hard for my brain to grasp and compose into virtual text... so I comment on perfectly said posts like this to make it look like I know what I'm talking about. :D

 

But to log into your full version account you need internet connection, How is this possible in premium solo with no internet connection?

 

Good point. You may be right.
