What would YOU like to see on Graal 2001?

ZanderX · #1 04-09-2002, 11:00 AM

Yes, that's what this thread is about.

I'm trying to bring as much as I can to Graal 2001 as co-manager, and I want to know what you, the PLAYERS, want on the server.

You can expect a couple new things in the next few weeks, like a reorganization of the staff system, a very active Kamuii (THAT'S ME!), a weather system, and the start of some new quests and areas for you to explore which we'll start but can be explored and designed by you, that's right, you. If you've ever wanted to be an adventurer, now's your chance!

So, tell me, folks, what do you want to see on Graal 2001? Please don't say "A RESET!@!@"@ "AN ECONOMY FIX@!@!!@" "AREPEEING STUFFZZZZ". I want good, solid ideas which we, the 2001 staff, can elaborate, improve, and work with to make Graal 2001 a much better place for you to play at!

Also, I want your opinion on whether or not this thread should be a sticky, since I consider it to be extremely important.

more close range weapons, like a mace, or a trident!

manton · #6 04-09-2002, 11:09 AM

Really, almost nothing could bring me back to it.
But some things it could use:
1. Hats need to be restocked often. That would help bring the cost down alot.
2. It would be nice to have some kind of Magic. Maybe a quest to get it, and some smaller ones to find spells?
But not just simple fire flying everywhere where. I want something cool and original looking, but useful as well.
3. More Races. I doubt this will happen, but I would love to play as things other than bomys and humans.
4. More weapons than just the plain old swords and bows. I would love to be able to swing around a double bladed sword, or a mace, or run around poking people with small knives.
5. New mini games/events. And more people that will actually hold them.

freddyfox · #8 04-09-2002, 11:10 AM

List:

-The desert. We've been waiting, what, 2 months?
-More weapons.
-More quests like the bomy moon.
-Cheese.

gloop · #9 04-09-2002, 11:11 AM

the 2k1 server needs ome GOOD multi person quests, not like the current ones where the only hard part is getting that many people in the same spot

now i say this often but thats only because i think its a good idea

i also think that the events team needs to be re done, so that instead of us using our own $ we can give out events $ that can buy fun staff ish toys (i know you all have things like a npc that lets you ride a bird, and the parrot and other fun things)

we also need the admin to colaborate with level makers, i mean, the staff of light has been working for weeks now but we cant get it because there is no quest. i know many level makers that would be happy to do it if they could get just a little bit of input

and FINALLY stop working on the kingdoms, many people (im serious now) DONT RP! and all your doing is alienating them.

1. Hats need to be restocked often. That would help bring the cost down alot.

NO NO NO hats need to NEVER be restocked
2. It would be nice to have some kind of Magic. Maybe a quest to get it, and some smaller ones to find spells?

YES
3. More Races. I doubt this will happen, but I would love to play as things other than bomys and humans.

fish, fairy (ive seen em all)
4. More weapons than just the plain old swords and bows. I would love to be able to swing around a double bladed sword, or a mace, or run around poking people with small knives.
yes
5. New mini games/events. And more people that will actually hold them.
events are hard to hold because with anything buy survivor the et has no controll

I think that 2k1 should make some more original events and have more events like doomesday when we had to stay out of the sun

Shorty2Dope · #11 04-09-2002, 11:14 AM

All I want is the staff to work on ONE project at a time, together or do anything to get the stuff released faster. Nothing is ever release they just work on one project then throw it a side and work on another then repeat.

homeless1 · #12 04-09-2002, 11:14 AM

a *cough* circus...like with clowns packed in mini-cars and the whole 9 yards.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #13 04-09-2002, 11:14 AM

- More role-playing friendly. Divide Gral up into about 100 odd zones and each zone can be captured by a Kingdom. Each zone could also have a watch tower or a keep so you can defend it from enemies

- Bring back Zalatics, like the entire story about it. This also goes with the bomy moon how the aliens were going to invade Bomboria and burn it down (Gonmon's idea when he was bomy admin).

- Possibly some of the kingdom features SK suggested, like buying catapults and battering rams for 1K each.

- I've always been a big fan or organized warfare

Legions of men lining up to fight each other on the battlefield. We did that in Dustari today against PC and the Orcs so I was wondering if there was a system you could implement for it

- As posted in the RP forum, simple gani actions. Things like *kneel* and *pray* and other things that aren't super difficult to make

I will think of more later

Thank you very much for your opinions, 'TIKI. Like all of the other posts here, I'll be sure to take them into as solid a consideration as I can and try to please everyone as best I can without, as you say, "alienating" anyone from anyone else.

Juron Pilo · #16 04-09-2002, 11:25 AM

dungeons that use and give you npc weapons with actual bosses.. also I'd like some platforming levels with some moving platforms, traps, pendulums, ect to get in your way... we could even make races out of them

[added note]
to make the platforming thing more clear... I mean something like zalactic labs... only with obsticles that get in your way

and a exp, and hp, and dugenons with constant monsters coming out, and a new battle system.

And a real platforming thing, don't make it bumpy, and make the jump quicker.

GryffonDurime · #18 04-09-2002, 11:37 AM

Hmm, I want the Airships

......but I can settle for something else. I think we do need more wepons, on the Graal Classic server there are 762 weapon NPC, on graal 2001 there are 2. Some magic would be nice too. And having hats restock. And also, how about there actually being some balance to RC abuse, when KKT wants in, they have Birdbird mutliate our castle. When we want to get into another kingdom, they come out and laugh at us. Oh, and do you know that little bomby on Atanora who sells the bird catching stuff? How about he comes trhough and invents an Invisibility Cloak!

TrueHeaT · #19 04-09-2002, 02:04 PM

the karakaze base.
but shadow knight is drunk 24/7 or never responds to peoples messages and isn't doing anything rahh

c0nsp1racy · #20 04-09-2002, 02:37 PM

UPDATES AND LOTS OF EM LIKE 1 EACH WEEK! And gen4 to come out already =/

I'm working on it and I am getting closer and closer to finishing it because all of the hard levels, the lava outsides, are done now so I can concentrate on making insides as soon as I have reinstalled everything on my computer at home. (I am at school now, reformatted my own computer yesterday to install Windows 2000)

And, your idea were really nice.

And, about the level makers. Yeah. I am going to talk to Kamuii/Bird about giving me a list of levels or something like that and I'll assign them to the level makers. Someone has to do it.

Shrimp Okonomiyaki · #22 04-09-2002, 07:07 PM

Heres a grand idea for 2K1.
All the stuff we were promised would come out = comes out.
Because I think the players are pretty tired of all the empty promises.

Bird2prey · #23 04-09-2002, 07:51 PM

I'd voice my opinion, but it might look like I cared or something.

Kaimetsu · #24 04-09-2002, 08:05 PM

Mage class.

Bird2prey · #25 04-09-2002, 08:08 PM

Yes, and button combinations to cast spells. And stuff.

Perhaps. And a delay where the spellcaster is frozen for a second or so before the spell is triggered. Spells would be things like the things that come out of the staff of light.

Spanko · #27 04-09-2002, 09:28 PM

"A RESET!@!@@"
"AN ECONOMY FIX@!@!!@"
"AREPEEING STUFFZZZZ"
:P

A good idea would be giving a certain plot of land to me, it's not as if anyone ever comes there anyway.
The plot of land is attached to this post.

Note in particular the part only reachable by draisine with the bench. I have no idea what the actual level name is, but it's somewhere near the Railroad Park.

draygin · #38 04-10-2002, 02:53 AM

Magic sounds like a good idea then Mages and stuff would actually have magic in RP's and wouldnt have to sit there and fake it. Definatly a wider variety of weapons too I mean sword and bogen get old and I hate fire ball some original weapons that arn't over used (no nuke shot)

Skatche · #39 04-10-2002, 03:08 AM

Well, when I'm bored of Graal 2001 (which is all the time lately) I like to go on other servers and PK. Yes, I randomly attack people. I do my best, at least, to only attack other PKers and stop when someone obviously doesn't want to fight. So how does this apply to Graal 2001? Well, this is my suggestion: some kind of catacombs, which are dangerous. Put in baddies, traps, lava, etc. And make it one big PK zone. Obviously there's no such thing as a PK zone, as people can attack others just about anywhere on the Graal map, if they so desire. What I mean is, just make it really okay to PK there. Maybe make it a sparring zone, to prevent loss of money, or just create an NPC that prevents you from losing money for as long as you're in the catacombs. Put a warning sign at the entrance, only admit people who've done both heart quests, and let them slog in and wail on enemies and each other. I can tell you that the one thing lacking the most from Graal 2001 is combat. And incidentally, the only reason I don't like using the Bomy Moon is because the whole "automatically-lose health every 30 seconds or so no matter what" thing is not very groovy at all.

Next, more hearts, and more weapons. I don't care if these are in quests or you're bloody giving them out. Try to stay away from putting them in shops, because I and many other people do not enjoy tapping a button for hours just to get enough money. And don't make it level-1 sword, level-2 sword, level-3 sword, etc. In those cases whoever has the best sword wins automatically (unless they really suck). Make weapons which have different strengths and weaknesses, and above all, make combat interesting! Graal is not an RPing game; it is a killing game, with RPing stuck in, causing much bitterness and *****ing between roleplayers.

Which brings me to my next point: provisions for RPers. I like the "conquerable zones" thing, which allows for a much more dynamic environment while still allowing for non-RP combat. Actually, most of my points can be found in that essay I posted in the Kingdoms forum.

"Legendary" weapons would be wicked cool. Make them have special powers or whatever, and make it so there's only one of each in the Graal world. Make it so if a person who holds a legendary weapon is defeated, whether in sparring or regular combat, the winner gets the weapon. Also make it so that no one person can have more than one legendary weapon. To prevent the weapons from switching hands every ten seconds, the special powers and enhancements bestowed upon their holders would have to be significant. Obviously there should be a small number of these (like 3 to 5).

draygin · #40 04-10-2002, 03:29 AM

I like that idea with a small selection like 3-5 legendary weapons and divided kingdoms that could be taken over. Also make it so any one with a kingdom tag ons gold name is disabled. It would be better than having sparring zones every where and as always change it so that in heaven you wait 5 minutes before being released with out being able to say unstick me. Have it so if you die with RP tag on you get warped to heaven dont have it set to the level just script it into the tags some how. This is of course just the RPing aspect there are lots of other ideas but since the only reasons I still play graal is rping and level making its all I care to post about.

[EDIT]
The legendary weapons would be a good True Heats idea on quests.
