New Valikorlia..

draygin · #1 08-05-2003, 06:37 PM

Ok, so being the long time hater of Valikorlia that I am. Since It was first put back up and Virtue stole almost everything script wise from Providence and then the history of constantly stealing stuff from other servers etc.. I logged on wondering what crap I would find today. (well not today today but you know)

First thing I have to say is talk about a change. With the new custom tiles this server is starting to look really nice. Even though its mostly pics1 the slight modifications look really sharp. The level making in some area looks rather poor. But from what I've seen its being redone. If you're going to judge this server dont judge it until you visit the town of frost. Now those are some nice levels and the graphics are just awesome.

GUI is really nice and I like how you can set your attributes although I personally feel stats are currently way over power. When you can kill a person in 2 hits Some fine tuning needs done here.

Monsters are really nice but lack on wall detection it seems and they're really buggy. Some times they jump and you can see them in the new area that they moved to but the only way to hit them is to stand at the spot they used to be and attack. (didnt really seem like a lag bug)

Server is really laggy overall needs better scripting to help cut down on the lag. But the scripts I've seen look nice. (when they work properly with out lag)

All in all I think this server was released prematurly and should have waited a couple more weeks. But I still think its off to a great start and has me actually wanting to play graal something I havnt done in about a year.

I havnt seen much RPing yet but then again I was mostly fighting monsters when I was on so thats probably my own fault. (I hope)

All in all I think its definatly worth checking out(especially if you wait a week or two) if you're into RPing and what not. Definatly some fun content to be had. (Just make sure you distribute your attribute points before fighting by clicking on the gui)

Once they add more content (like more daggers hint hint Rogues dont use swords) and finish more levels etc... it will definatly be a great server. As it is now I have to say its my favorite server currently up on graal and this shocks me considering until recently how much I hated it.

Hopefully they changed their strict RP rules.

I agree, that's one thing I don't like about Valikorlia.

I've almost been banned on that server before and have been jailed in the past for my name (which I had not received a warning about)

Crono · #4 08-05-2003, 09:18 PM

When people say "Im going to ban you if you dont change your name" and unfair crap like that, just aim CronoPker and I'll srot things out.

draygin (I don't know your ingame name) thanks for the compliments. Appreciate it, specialy since alot of people hate Valikorlia.

And you're right, we are going to improve on alot of levels and each kingdom will probably have their own tile sets. (as in, additionts to pics1.png by replacing current tiles)

I pretty much felt the same way about Val. I logged on when I saw it on the playerworld list, and thought, "what crap do they have now?" But I actually checked it out, and even RPed a little and found myself enjoying the server. I do like the modified tiles, they're pretty nice, and the desert tiles are awesome! I hope they keep this good work up and fix some of those annoying bugs, and add some more weapons (3 is just not enough.)

One again, thanks for the compliments. The bugs will go away after a while, but for now, bear with us. We only have 1 scripter working on the system and maybe 1 or 2 working on other minor things. We're in need of some great NATS. So yeah, the bugs will take a while.

I think just about every server needs NATs.

they aren't exactly growing on trees...Good luck anyway...I still don't like your server though.

Well I get buged everyday by people asking me to hire them as lat and Kirby Shenlon is my lat cheif so I guess we have two and my scripters they do levels also.

adam · #13 08-06-2003, 04:04 AM

From what I've gathered talking to what few staff I've talked to, They never intended it to be complete at this release.

They for some reason thought bugs that could have been fixed before it was public needed to be fixed after it was public.

Well, I guess it'll make them easier to spot anyway.

I go to Val all the time to get more stats. I want to be a Bandit but nobody will tell me how. The only complaint I have is the masses. I am killing a couple monsters and I get bored and open up my playerlist and it's filled with masses. People need to stop massing so much x.x I know there is an ignore mass button but I don't feel like ignoring them, considering some masses are important while others are just garbage between kingdoms.
