    Encouraging PvP

    in Idea Box

    Posted

    Sure it might stink for people that don't want to fight at first, but isn't the whole point of a game like this that the players come up with solutions to problems, not artificial rules?

     

    If there were a bunch of organizations and governing bodies competing for resources and territory in space there would be fights and the fights wouldn't be limited to some special grid in space where fights are allowed to happen. If I want to play a space pirate robbing the poor unsuspecting miner who doesn't have any defenses I should be able to. Playing a space pirate is no better or worse than a miner. Next time the miner goes out he'll put more consideration into his safety. If you didn't put thought into who has access to your most vital secrets and resources and I infiltrate your organization, I should be able to bring the whole thing down. That's just the way it goes.

     

    Man after my own heart.

     

    If you want a big driver for conflict between players, then you need only create zones of rare resources (and limited). Limitation can either be how many are spawned in the universe, or how much can be harvested before it dries out. This then forces players to fight one another for control over said resource if either wants to progress forward in their expansion, technology or what have you.

    I made a sarcastic remark regarding his answer, could you please explain why my post is trash?

    Yes it wasnt a good one (by far) but i was/am tired and annoyed and people assuming something out of vague posts arent helping

     

    Well frankly that isn't mine or anyone else's problem. If your post was out of jest, I apologize, but make it clear in the future.

    AH yes i forgot that EVE has only 1000 players... DU will have economy and eveyrthing you mentioned... WITH PVP stop saying that its unnecessary and shouldnt be in the game (not talking to you @Kirtis)

    And i NEVER mentioned only PVP, ffs READ dont assume. I said that disabling PVP would limit the playerbase because PVP is ESSENTIAL for this kind of game

     

    *at this point i wrote a essay explaining why but it got to long so i deleted it*

    I suggest you take a look at this link, then perhaps gather your data before making trash posts in the future.

    There will be a community portal released for the Dual Universe website which will allow organizations to post their recruitment notices, and have some other built in features like a forum, member management (roster) etc. This is expected to release within a few weeks from now.

     

    If you want voice chat hosting, there are dozens of providers out there on the web that provide their services pretty damn cheap. Even if NovaQuark were to provide a service through their community portal, you'd still be paying. 

    Some RP related questions for eveyone!

    I was more or less thinking of writing a story that is somewhat independent of DU's main story, with one of the things that links the two is that fact that people left the Arkship and went to planet X, and now there are two factions at war over who rightfully owns an alien artifact. Although it is, in fact, just space garbage. just for an example.

     

    Ideas come to me fairly easily, and I consider myself to be a creative person. So, I try to feed it when I get the inspiration, instead of being stagnant on it, and having to return to it later.

     

    Also, I would like to start writing something as early as possible, so I can get details ironed out, then if info comes out that is majorly contradictory to my story, or something that I want to be in it, I can change things around. Who knows, maybe RP will be on the back burner for everyone for awhile. I know it might be for me, until I get a secure location and everything gets going.

     

    I gotcha, and sounds good really. Valid points all around.

     

    If you ever want some outside help or inspiration, feel free to PM me. I've written my share of short stories, backstories, and a novel to know a thing or two.

    As much fun as RPing can be, I don't feel we have enough to go on to really make something work. Mind you, that's just how I feel and that shouldn't discourage you or anyone else from going forward with this. I just think it'd be better to wait and see what NovaQuark comes out with for us to work with. 

     

    That said, I do thoroughly enjoy RPing and some good old D&D games. I won't make it my gaming communities' primary focus though, but I certainly plan to encourage it to have fun with.

    good luck getting the leader of another faction on exactly you teamspeak channel and then room to talk to him for about 2 minutes about some kind of treaty

     

    What? Do you even know what team speak is?

     

    While this idea is cool, most groups will just use team speak for voice chat. Easy to setup, and easy to use. 

    Player Council

    In fairness, Eve Onlines CSM is a complete joke and is only there to fulfill the epeen needs of those on the board. Let's not forget how "rigged" the voting is by having communities vote brigade for a chosen candidate whether or not you liked them. 

     

    Fortunately I think with DU, sure, go ahead and run a player council to manage the cosmos in-game. That'd be much better.
