I'm not. I'm just pointing out that it isn't that polite.

It might not be polite, but it's a part of server creation and you might learn from it.

Nonconstructive criticism is... well, nonconstructive. Sure people are entitled to their opinion but that doesn't mean it's constructive at all, nor is it always welcomed in communities. Most art/development communities frown upon nonconstructive criticism, and there is a reason for it. It rarely helps the person out and makes you look like an ass.

This is about criticism in general, not at any specific discussion.

+1 Rep. Nice to see someone thinks the same way.

Well, You can take this in any way you like but I stand by what I say is that sometimes people will say things you just don't want to hear, sure it may not seem good to hear at all but if you open your mind and thoughts to their views on your work, think what would happen if you read the same exact idea with a lack of detailed explanation you're bound to get this "nonconstructive criticism" that you just think is bull****. I think you need to be more open with the outlines of what this about. I just reread your opening post and basically I got this.

"HAY, THIS IS ANOTHER "CLASSIC" SERVER THAT CONCENTRATES ON YOUR WEAPONS CHARACTERISTICS AND YOU'LL BUILD OFF FROM THERE! NOTHING ELSE APPLY NAO

"

I think you could generate more interest if you actually have a story to present. Would you expect any different after completely reading what I said and thinking it through? I feel your ambition in your work but if you have nothing for those who don't know it all and they won't understand.

I hope you realize that you're only saying that because it's your server. Don't say it if you wouldn't say it for another server.

We've only been out for a few weeks. Sure, we will have a story, but there isn't much else to add to the description right now. You shouldn't assume we have our whole server life planned out immediately.

I would say it for other servers. Don't judge someone you don't know, okay?

It's best to have everything prepared beforehand, or at least a rough draft.

Lame defense I will say right now. Why are you even making a server if you haven't even made even a rough draft of a story (basically what bubbles said above) ? That's basically turning in a blank paper to a teacher and saying you're done. You'll fail and get an F like you have to this audience so I'm within my right to assume.

If you haven't even made a story in a few weeks than I will say right now you aren't ready to make a server, thanks for wasting your money and our time.

I wouldn't express that much importance in a story tbh.

I'd say the success of a server strongly depends on their ability to make a fun (rapid if possible) prototype of the game-play and then being able to expand upon it and provide a decent amount of content (replay-ability helps too) for it.

I get what you're saying but it helps get slight interest for some developers to want to help.

DustyPorViva · #92 11-25-2010, 04:41 AM

Backstory > active story in an MMO.

That's what we're currently working on. Trying to get the style of game-play is our main focus, but we only have one truly experienced scripter. Until we find more we've been mainly working on improving out tile-set and such.

MattKan · #94 11-25-2010, 11:30 PM

Who would that be?

I would concentrate more on hiring and ignoring these posts. You have a lot of work to do.

Cubical · #96 11-26-2010, 04:56 AM

Because the 30 seconds it takes to make a post is going to make a huge difference.

Sounds familiar lol.

Don't you mean his non-existant server considering everything is practically half baked.

Well, that's probably because he's letting himself get distracted, but yeah, it's not too good.

You're helping? Can we all just get back on topic now?

Fulg0reSama · #**103** 12-02-2010, 08:35 PM

Sure, Since you're the owner of the server would you mind updating on the project with new information?

When the player enters the server, he or she will choose a class to start off as and a weapon of their choice (i.e. a scythe, a sword, a staff, dual wielded daggers, etc.). They will also be allowed to name their weapon, and when they level up they will be able to upgrade their weapon with the points they gain. Of course, this isn't all we have planned, but it gives you a good taste of what revolutionary ideas Eryst will institute.

Sadly, to make this happen we need your help!
Our focus right now is finding game-play scripters and graphics artists to help create the game-play system and the images needed for menu's and such.
We are also hiring level's team members to help us fill our very large over-world.

If you would like to apply you can contact me at [email protected], or on skype. My skype name is RegretZanza. You can usually find me on Eryst from 5:00 - 10:30 EST, and I will post my manager's information here as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
Regret

To add on to that, we have planned that at a certain level each class will branch off into two different classes from which you can choose, each containing different spells/abilities. We plan to have events and, once you reach a certain level, capture the flag and tower taking. We also want to have a feature that allows the player to name their weapon, making it unique, and making the game more customizable for the players. We plan to have sparring, but also based on level groups, to keep players on an even field. The same will be done for player killing, since new players will not be able to level if they are continually killed by higher level players. We plan to have a very accessible and easy-to-use user interface, with many options to help you customize your character, including our planned project of making original heads in other colors for a much wider range of character looks.

Aren't you technically commenting by saying, "No comment," since it implies that if you were to comment it may be insulting or something else not appropriate for the public?
