I know everyone will laugh, but hear me out

boukon_malisous · #1 03-31-2003, 07:16 AM

I vote for a mass account reset on Graal Kingdoms server. Alchemy items arent being removed, event items are being gave out for free, AND event items are... unfair. I move for Stefan to hear the Graal people out! I suggest we start a petition for the Graal Kingdoms mass account reset. I know there are atleast 3 or 4 people who would come back and play, that quit before, and a lot of people (myself for one) would actually find it funner and more challenging... I am going to start a petition, so PM me on graal or over the forum if you want to sign it.

DragonX · #2 03-31-2003, 07:21 AM

For the 50 millionth damn time, Stefan and unixmad both said NO reset until it is FULLY done so it won't happen, petition or not, you can get the president to tell Stefan to reset it and he won't. Its not happening so stop wasting your time!

boukon_malisous · #3 03-31-2003, 07:27 AM

Actually, I bet if the president told him to he would... Plus, I realize this, but it is pretty much done besides all the alchemy recipes and that crap, and summoning, so just take those out of the game until they are fully tested on debug and work completely without bugs.

ZeroFXSM · #4 03-31-2003, 07:54 AM

Boukon, you think you are the only one deserving of event items.

And just because people are not powergamers. Doesn't mean they can't have event items.

Ok. I agree. Darklux shouldn't be getting all those event items. He shouldn't even have one

((heres what he has))
Red Dragon Ammy
Inferno Sword
Frost Shield
((And I think more...))

Boukon, your just mad that you listened to excal and removed all your alchemy items. I am too. and we have no way of being restored. Yay.

boukon_malisous · #5 03-31-2003, 08:00 AM

.... I don't care that others have event items, in fact, I hope that once the server is reset there will be only minor events for money or many stuff just a LITTLE better than what is out, such as:
Silver Warrior Helmet- ac+2 armour+ I dunno like 10...
and have event items be
Helmet something- ac+2 armour+more than the other and a different graphic, or maybe resist fire+5 or little resistances.

So the people who work hard (people who lvl up the most mainly) would get the most out of graal.

konidias · #6 03-31-2003, 08:27 AM

No point in resetting it now. Truely, it doesn't matter, the server isn't really balanced, I mean there's no limit to the power one can obtain really, which is a problem, because I think the whole IWD thing has gotten out of hand. People shouldn't be dealing 70+ damage per hit, I mean that is insane, especially because when you get hit, there is no moment of invincibility, so a person can hit you 3-8 times before you can even escape from them.

I mean it's like this:

Hurting takes 0.5 seconds, attacking takes 0.5 seconds.

You get hurt, 0.5 seconds pass before you can attack again. By the time you get the chance to attack, the other person is hitting you again, therefore, it's nearly impossible to hit them while they are next to you swinging, because you're constantly being hit before you can complete one attack. If there was some way to stop this from happening, it would add strategy to combat, because people couldn't just run in on you and swing 10 times to kill you, they would have to take into account the fact that you will get a chance to hit them back.

Plus there are spells that kill people in one hit no matter what (aka cause critical wounds) Not to mention a lot of other things that just aren't balanced well. I liked it at the start of the server when everybody did about the same damage, and was about the same strength. But it's never going to be like that again, even if it gets reset, within a week, there would be high level players that could kill everything.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #7 03-31-2003, 08:33 AM

The server is incredibly unbalanced and so messed up I won't even begin to explain.

ZeroFXSM · #8 03-31-2003, 08:34 AM

Yeah.. I what I really hate is..

When I'm backing away from my oponent, he swings his weapon and i'm stunned..

But boukon, what you want, is not what everyone wants, I seriously don't want to lose everything I worked so hard for.

Knumb · #9 03-31-2003, 03:29 PM

I feel cause critical wounds is already balanced. Yes, it does an outrageous amount of damage, but I could outrun it carrying my house. It's very difficult to hit anything but an npc that is following you.

Ghost Pirate · #10 03-31-2003, 05:20 PM

What exactly is stefan adding to Graal: Kingdoms?

I think he should drop any more additions and work on balancing issues that need be addressed.

Tseng · #11 03-31-2003, 06:00 PM

Talked to Stefan about it - the hurting effect time will be decreased =)

Python523 · #12 03-31-2003, 06:18 PM

darklux got a free red dragon amulet...?

--Chris-- · #13 03-31-2003, 09:52 PM

Darklux can speak German, enough said.

I disagree with the reset and the whole damage thing =/ It's almost impossible to hit someone with wounds and once you reach a high level it wouldn't do crap, you'll have to efficiently execute 2 or 3 on someone which is REALLY hard

;' The game has barely been around for a year...everyone is practically newbies, soon enough lv30 would be like nothing...sort of how lv10s are now. When I first started and reached lv10 I was one of the strongest...look at it now...newbies are lv10 and there's people over lv25 in a matter of months. Now for the damage...are you dumb enough to stand infront of someone slashing you? Having it like this is the better way, it encourages circling and other battle strategies not to mention it doesn't do 70 literally =/ My friend does 72 damage and his weapon delas 1-5hp on the first hit and around 15-25 after.

GoZelda · #14 03-31-2003, 10:02 PM

What i caught up from people about this, i heard that Stefan will make another kingdoms server, the same maybe levels different, when all bugs are gone.

MKSLAYER · #15 03-31-2003, 11:11 PM

bou if you ID a silver warrior helm its AC+1 Armor +7 <_>(my new emotion thingy)

ReaperJ · #17 03-31-2003, 11:20 PM

I was orignally for the idea of a full reset of ..everyoens levels and items. Buutt i dont care anymore. I would rather graal kingdoms put more emphisis on the Kingdom and Kingdom power rather than individual power. And not really have much a focus on leveling up, and more on..kingdom improvment, this has always been my view on the game and i had once hoped there could be a max level of 20 or somethign as well heh. oh well

So do I, but, the game isn't even as fun now, since its gotten out of hand.

Most people only do 70+ because of event items, which I strongly discourage being made and released if the kingdoms got reset... Atleast not as strong, only minor resistances added onto a normal weapon, such as Vicious axe (dam+9)(attacks: phys)(resist cold +10)

And I suggest removing critical wounds or make it weaker, it does around 175 damage and that is somewhat.... crazy?
One more thing, I suggest making that a person only regenerates when in a bed or something like standing completely still... Regeneration is a bit crazy and it causes people to run more if in a fight, to regenerate. Health should only be able to be filled when using a healing spell, or standing still... And barbarians, warriors, or theives, should no be able to use those spells.

DragonX · #19 04-01-2003, 12:48 AM

The cause wounds can be fixed by making it stronger as you level wisdom, thats the only logical thing to do. More wisdom means more power into your prayers. More magic means more magic power into your spells instead of just a level 7 using it and killing a level 30+ in 1 or 2 hits.

Kaiser2 · #20 04-01-2003, 03:35 AM

I agree wholly with the strength of spells up as you level up. I think the cap on levels should be like...35 or something...I mean 35 in every field, or whatever level you need to IWD a weapon 10 times, that way, there would be balance (so a wizard at that level would do damage around as much as a weapon IWDed 10 times.) Also, choosing stats should exist, with a cap of 20, not 30 on each, and you wouldn't have stats like 20,20,20,15,16,20, etcandwhateverImissed.

MKSLAYER · #21 04-01-2003, 03:45 AM

Tyhm and i (mostly tyhm like 98%) are working on a new system where instead of numbers you have average, below, above highly above etc. to erase that. also we are trying to right now script so people can pick there own stats with LIMITATIONs so its a max to one stat according to your class which you pick first in coordiantion to the stat picking. also on this if that doesnt work then we'll find another way

Kaiser2 · #22 04-01-2003, 03:49 AM

Now you can really imply stat changes for class selection.

MKSLAYER · #23 04-01-2003, 03:53 AM

yeah everything is going to get a lot more balanced on the final server dont worry this isnt putting a restart for those that you dont want to its just going to change the images right now, so 1) you can get used to them and 2) so that we can see how people like the system..... i might improve some more things when you start out like class items like warriors and barbarians get to choose a sword they like, preists and mages wands, and theifs two daggers. that brings up another thing i am going to try and add another weapon that you can hold the como is as folowed:
1)1 two hand weapon (Mace, Club, Axe other large weapons)
2)1 dagger 1 sword
3)2 dagger
4)1 sword
5)1 dagger

also i dont think the larger shields will be able to be equipable so i might start to make some bucklers

boukon_malisous · #24 04-01-2003, 04:23 AM

I think the blocking of missile spells should be also improved, they are HARD to block with a shield... heh

Kaiser2 · #25 04-01-2003, 04:00 PM

mm...I want assassin class :[

Well vlad, level 35 in every field would not set you at 10 IWD's. That would be 12.

I'm level 24 physique, and I can hold 9 slots. Another level, and it will be 10. Even though im level 27, I suggest the cap be 25. I would be the only person effected by this and I could really careless.

Ghost Pirate · #28 04-01-2003, 06:30 PM

better character creation and Level requirements for items would help some.

--Chris-- · #29 04-01-2003, 06:35 PM

There should be no cap, everyone would reach there and have nothing to do ._.

On another note...for the people that said something about the server not getting involved in enough rping...I have 2 solutions to that.

1) Join Forest, I hold rp events for my members quite often

2) Straighten out your Kingdom and arrange rp events with other kingdoms and errm....WAR IS NOT THE ONLY MEANS OF RPING AMONGST OTHER KINGDOMS. (Sorry if you already knew that but alot of people seem to not get it.)

[edit]Oh, and another thing! If I come back any time soon, I'm resetting (I suppose I'll give my things away to some close friends), and when I do, I am going to RP. That's it. If I go and fight monsters to gain strength, fine! .. but I won't do only that, and when I do that, it will be part of RPing.

Making a difference happens one person at a time.[/edit]

GoZelda · #34 04-11-2003, 10:35 PM

Reset won't solve ANYTHING! Yeez. The only thing that could solve anything, was getting a bit more better dungeons then STOP getting strong monsters etc. Then there still would be stronger players, but getting stronger gets harder and harder. For THEM that is. Or, ofcourse, a level maximum, but after a while everyone would be the same level

i mean, read about the greek myths, the trojan war. you had champions/hero's (achiless, aeneas, hector, aias, oddyseus) and the normal soldiers, and then you had higher-ranked soldiers. These days you still have the generals and soldiers. I say, just add some more dungeon stuff, more original weapons and armour, and after a while everyone will be around a certain level, besides, there's a level max of 100! Really, if everyone would have the same level it wouldn't solve anything.

And Boukon, you're still mad about the event items darklux got :P

reset won't solve, some people would come back but others could leave.

the president? if he would, bad things could happen to him. a president leads but can't demand such things.But if Stefan lived in Iraq before it was fallen and you still were good friends with saddam you can let him
