Feature Preview

This is basically just to show a few combined features that will be within future Quests on Classic, the level itself is not part of a quest although the tileset/theme is for an upcoming one.

that is very awesome, I have always wanted Classic to do this, even suggested it to Massokre when he was developing that castle quest.

Looks really cool.
Do the switch and water have to be in the same level?
If not you could make puzzles where draining the water like that floods the level below.

It's not necessary although with it being in a separate level that raises the question of whether the filling/draining should be completed or just starting upon entering the level.

Draining should probably be a bit faster, but very awesome.

That's beautiful

I just wondered "what if you're in the water while it's draining".
Watched the video again to see that you already showed that. Nice touch.

That's pretty cool, it's server-side right?

This isn't specifically although it's a possibility.

for effect it would look better serverside but it would be abused with players draining/flooding levels on newbies.

[Seich]

o.o That's pretty awesome...

Why not have it so "parties" can do the quests together an interact, but people outside the party won't affect it?

It's something you have to be careful in instances where the water level either applies across multiple levels or is necessary to be saved should you log out and then in again otherwise preventing progress, which mainly applies to standalone Questing, but it wouldn't be so much of a problem for quests that are designed to be multiplayer where the strategy tends to revolve around working as a group to travel from one level to another more so than individual wit.

Looks very good. I was going to ask if you would be hurt if you jumped down from the ladder, but you showed it in the video so...

[Deas_Voice]

looks neat, thought i think it should go faster, is it possible to use it as a cross-way? i mean, like, when it flooded, you can swim over to a platform, where you maybe drain the level or a chest there (you can't access this area while its drained)
