Adding game play elements
Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:41 pm
I'll get the ball rolling by suggesting that they add some sort of a "capture the flag" element to the game. Right now, there's no value to killing or even confronting other players/guilds. There's no scoring system and no "win" condition. Everyone simply rezzes and the game moves on. It's pretty pointless.
If we had the ability to have visible special items (flags, banners, balls, whatever) that could be dropped by a player when they died, we could at least have the ability to prove that we won a battle and provide an incentive for the losing guild/team to try to get it back. Adding personal, Guild and team items would allow for maximum flexibility.
I would certainly find it more entertaining to engage in guild battles if we could go marching through Yrkanis with the losing teams pennant in hand.
If implemented, an additional ability to record the wins/losses and maybe issue stars, stripes, guild logos, etc. to be included in the player info or on the in-scene display. I know that it would be tough, if not impossible, to have it worn on the character itself. But having it recorded and viewable would certainly be a nice incentive to earn stripes.
It would also be a nice feature to be able to mount captured items on the guild wall or otherwise record it somewhere in the guild. (like a trophy case)
Anyways....I'd appreciate additional comments or suggestions. With any luck, we can flesh it out enough to get it on the Developers' radar.
