New stuff in planning.

Zach1 · #1 12-02-2002, 05:22 AM

Right now projectshifter and I are working on a few new games, and a few addons for tc.. soon to come are better organized tournaments, that match people up by level, and a few new cool things...post your own ideas for new events here.

Add horses and a horse race track.

Go to 2k1

Just add an NPC that ups the level of the lower character temporarily while in the fighting arena to the opponent they are fighting.
That way it evens itself out.

Although I'm not to fond of the idea as it makes it kinda unfair on people that have spent hours leveling up to get to where they are.

--Chris-- · #5 12-03-2002, 09:15 PM

I'm already the best horse racer on 2k1 and we're talking about 2k2 here XD Also...level is not everything...some items like rings give stats equivalant to like 2 more levels

baywatch1 · #6 12-03-2002, 09:29 PM

I think its a cool idea to make horses and horse track son g2k2! i think you should can byu horses at farms or something so you can travel faster around

Zach1 · #7 12-04-2002, 07:05 AM

what if..I could give people exp, and levels as prizes? o_o.

Scorpion_504 · #8 12-04-2002, 07:39 AM

That is a good idea, and it would be awsome. Although someone with a high lv would probably win and get an even higher lv. X_X

No, horrible idea.

Dude6252000 · #10 12-04-2002, 09:54 AM

I have a good idea for once! You see, we make an INDOOR arena (No lag >.>), and you wait there until the event starts (From Koni or Zach, etc). In the event, everyone is reset to level 1, and there are a couple of items laying around in rooms (Random, could be a vicious axe, could be a black dagger, etc) for you to use during to battle, because it stores all of your normal items away. The arena will consist of several rooms, and stuff. And it will last for a time limit. When you kill, you get points. When you die, you go up a level for handicap. Whoever gets the most points at the end wins. There could also be random enemy spawns in the arena, and, etc, kthx. (This idea was partially stolen from PSO =x)

Then I would not be surprised at all when you're a level 17

Zach1 · #12 12-05-2002, 02:23 AM

Of course i would have it made to where I couldnt do it myself, rather i would wait for stefan to do it so people who are out for me wouldnt have another reason to be suspicious. but its a bad idea anyway so there isnt anything to worry about..

On the other hand i REALLY like the arena idea, very cool. we could give everyone the average of each participant's level, and each participant could choose a weapon of their choice from a table on the outskirts of the arena and battle it out, we could have different terrain made for multi kingdom battle levels, and each side would get a certain number of each weapon (a bit like nukeshots, and fireballs in 2k1 cs) that way tournaments would finally be based on skill. Any more ideas to add to this?

[a few more]
an arena where there are two ridges, with a canyon seperating them, and each team gets a few of each long ranged weapon and they go at it.., if possible with the tiles provided maybe a roman-esque arena, where the event holder chooses what goes behind each gate before the fight, and when to release the beasts, or possibly items that could help the player who is brave enough to go near the door.

More in detail with the items in the arena and stuff:
There's randomized items on the side of the arena. They change every time, like sometimes they can be Flaming Swords, sometimes Bronze Paladin Helmet, etc. You start out with none of your items and start with the ones around the arena. After the battle, you keep none, and get your normal items back. The place you start in, then, should show the winner, and maybe there could be a score that floats above your head in that room (Ex. "W: 2 D: 0 L: 3") that's not normal chat, but like the failed notice when you miss an attack.
And, also, good idea with the arrow shooting thing, but make it so you start with missile weapons, so you're not a sorc with nothing else but standing around to do. =x

Scorpion_504 · #14 12-05-2002, 08:16 AM

Oh, like galdiators. When gladiators fought there was a rack of weapons in the hallway to the entrance of the colluseum. They didn't get the weapons they wanted, they got to chose one of the weapons from the rack. It can be made the weapons that come up are random, and you can't use your own weapons or armor. This way the winner wouldn't be the one with the best weapon, it would be the one with the best fighting skills and most luck.

This is true.... and for me it's a decent reason to not have the equalized-level thing described by AlexH. If everyone has the same level, the contest depends mainly on items.... which makes 2k2 a big item-hunt thing rather than RPG. Sound familiar?

Zach1 · #16 12-05-2002, 08:53 PM

I dont like random really, more like a weapon from each type on the table, they would have to be of equal power, though.. i dont want any form of handicaps =p ((read my thread in suggestions about weapon proficiencys, would be a nice touch))

Well, also, what about classes? X_x What if your a Sorc, and can't use melee whatsoever, and have crap stats? Something should be done about that x.x

Zach1 · #18 12-06-2002, 07:21 AM

magic and melee will never be equal, no matter what side =/ first magic was too quick and powerful...now casting time takes too long...

Yeah, I agree, but what will happen in the gladiator game thingy I thought of? O_o A mage would be sitting there, none of their normal spells, screwed?

Zach1 · #20 12-06-2002, 08:41 AM

yeah =/ alchemist was never made really for attacking at all, except if you count cauldron bombs. same with priest (low levels)

BoneCrusher2 · #21 12-06-2002, 09:57 AM

or how bout this? You can have an arena and we use our own weapons? If your a low level and cant win contests with fighting....here is an idea go levelup liek the rest of us and go make money for a better weapon liek the rest of us....should we be penialized for working hard? Dont complain that its not fair cause higher levels will always win...do something about it and you level up yourslef......JESUS!

No, no one's going for that, and you won't get anyone on your side that way.

Dude, I have nearly 600 hours of online play time, and I have tried, but I've failed repeatedly. I do work hard, I'm just not very successful in what I do.

Eh. :o

BoneCrusher2 · #23 12-06-2002, 10:39 AM

ur not succesful and leveling...hm everytime i kill soemthing i get exp are u gettin exp randomly when u kill? i odnt tihnk so...and with 600 hours u should have pletny enough money saved up by now......so u must be idle alot or ur not working for it ur just talking to people or w/e......and im not tryignt o get nobody on my side im jsut stating a point that we shouldnt be penlized for being strong...now i do agree we should have mind challanges also for the smart ones....and maybe restricted battles for level1-5 6-8 9+ yah kno.....

I agree with him...why are we penalized for being so strong? I think the weak leveled players should be penalized for being lazy and not winning anything.. You must try different ways if you've failed repeatedly, it's not hard, it's just easier with the barbarian class (if you have woodsman you can get to level 4 easily by IDing stuff).. The low leveled players must start working harder instead of whining more if they don't win, do they think we will just die because they touch us? Did we just appear and become level 12 or higher? Nah... I've spent about 300 hours doing stuff, and I have about 650 on my other account (DragonX2, not p2p anymore)..you just gotta find what's right for you, if you can't handle being a sorcerer, don't be a sorcerer...yeah...

Dude6252000 · #25 12-06-2002, 10:52 AM

x.x Me and Zach aren't saying "omg lol level 12s in this r same level as level 3s lol everyones level 1", we're just thinking of an event that could be equal for EVERYONE. No arguing saying "wtf u used a war axe thats bad", but just skill. We're not getting rid of normal tourneys, we're coming up with this, thingy. Kthx.

Idle, no. Not working, no. Talking to people, no.

I have a bad habit of restarting too much.

I've just asked Stefan if he could restore me to my Priest .. I'm sick of restarting repeatedly.

I was most successful as a Priest a long time ago, and recently I tried that again, successfully. Switching to battle mode was my downfall, so I will keep that in mind. You will see me at level ten soon enough ..

No, but I did like PSO's battle mode, I think that could make for an interesting tournament here. It shouldn't be the only tournament, though, of course. This is something of a teams/FFA thing.

What's wrong with stealing ideas from good games?

I just think it would be cool to see something like that in Graal.
