  1.  

    I do like so far they are using the scroll color pallet ... allows more variety and uniqueness.

    Of course :D (untill you see someone running around in a pink suit, I dunno why but It always takes me out a bit of the game when I see someone that looks so god damn silly in a game of this type)

  2. If it's lasers please give them decent sound!  A recent games lasers sound like the noise you made as a kid with your imaginary laser pistol.  Tbh give them all great sound it really adds to the immersiveness at little cost to performance.

    Hmm, what would YOU like? :D

     

    A Solid BZZT or a more of a... BWAP. :D Like what kind of sound would you like.

  3. Well if the KS is able to get the stretch goal (~$250k more...) I can see most of these aesthetics going into the game.  Like:

     

    -obtaining a cowboy hat

    -more realism (pockets and utility belts)

    -multiple space suits

            -sleek

            -steampunk

            -star wars like

            -transparent birthday suits

     

    Having solid visors are kinda something I don't want to see either.... it seems last gen.  I just hope having the option for a less opaque visor or no helmet isn't something that will cost money in a in-game market place.

    Well, depends really. IF the kickstarter got to that, yeah that would be in AT LAUNCH.

     

    It isn't a must for such costumization this early on honestly, so we will see :D

  4. This post is really simple. I just came up with it as I was watching the 18th update :D

    What would be your guys ideas regarding costumizable options on your character. Like diffrent helmets and diffrent chest pieces ect ect.

    Of course, the game is only in pre-alpha so they only have one look... but I am curious what you guys would like to add into the visual aspect of this game. (pictures or text or both, don't really matter how you describe your thoughts and ideas)

    Personally (because I will go after a more scientist, research kind of route when it comes to this game. IF it now comes out) I would like to see a bit of a scientist kind of look. You know, a sort of thinner armor, with glowing tubes (choice of colour is yours) with "experimental" or "Prototype" techology on the armor itself, the helment being more "gasmask like" and so on. :D just to add a bit of a hightech science flare :D

    What would be your ideas?

  5. I find the OP's reaction to be a bit of a overreaction personally... tho I understand what he thinks.

    The game is sitll in early alpha and that the ship is SIMPLE is probably mostly due to it being a small side quick thing, and that they haven't added that many elements yet. I think they are still working on the more technical things more than the designs of stuff.

  6. Thats quite possible.

    Its a little frustrating though because the mmo community has been screaming for innovation for years. And now someone is trying to do it they just dont care. :(

    more the case of people being kinda uncertain regarding a Kickstarter. The price is a bit to low for most people to seem logical (it is for another reason, but you know) and people doupting that  a small indie team can do this.

  7. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for skill loss (not so much that it would be broken) at character death, but losing 50% or something of skillpoints is just broken, even if it's not that easy to do. That would just be too harsh.

     

    Better to penalize suiciders and frequent killers with skill loss at a much lower margin

    Maybe.. I am not sure myself xD I just meant for execution to 1: be a very extreme and hard meassure and 2: for it to really have a massive negative impact xD

  8. I know, we have talked a lot about the problems with other games right now.

    Its not only NMS that creates the distrust.

     

    But Nyzaltar explained that they couldnt delay the KS.

    And I think the investor issue has been brought up many times. On the forum and I think in one of the KS updates but I'm not sure.

     

    We are all a bit nervous about the KS I think.

    indeed, NMS is simply the most... clear peg in the wheel for the KS. I have a feeling that if NMS hadn't been such a faliure, the KS would have been funded like 10 days ago.

  9. could be abused to effectivly kill spys in your org and ruin a character completly, bad idea. Even 10% would be too much.

     

    You can't kill whole branches of gameplay only because you are a "lawful citizen" and don't like griefers, scammers and killers.

    The point is that it will create a form of... suspence and realism to it.

     

    You can't just begin shooting at your org members, or betray them that easily... you must be more carefull about your actions. Executions are simply meant to be something 1: extremely hard to do 2: a great part of your org must agree on doing it (or atleast the officers / leaders)  3: quite risky, if your leaders are eager to do executions... is it then a good idea to stay in the org?

  10. I can actually see how punishments could work... IF it is done in a correct way...

    Imagine this, if you die by simply being killed in a fight or the like, you just respawn, maybe loose a bit of money, some stuff, no big deal.

    BUT if you get "punished" you loose alot more.

    like, you get put in prison, you will be there for... maxium an hour maybe. (Just an arbritrary wait time, honestly could be worse) but, as you get out depending on if you were in there for 10 minutes or an hour... you have lost not just gold and items... you have lost skill points. The longer you are in prison, the more skillpoints you lose. Basicly, the punishment for being in prison means you have to work much much much longer to progress with your character, giving a good incentive to not getting thrown in jail. (You could also add that when you get out of jail you will have a small mark on your characters profile, making it clear to others you have been inprisoned and therefor can't really be trusted... (or can get invited to a pirate group xD))

    Executions however... is a massive ordeal. If you get executed (as a part of a crime) you basicly loose HALF your skillpoints (or something like that) It basicly is meant to show that your old character BASICLY is dead... and this is someone new. (could also add that you have to change your name of your character, and all your friends on your friendslist get a "ping, this character have been executed, his name is changed from ..... to ....." )


    now, to avoid this being missused there needs to be 3 things.

    1: For you to be imprisoned or executed you MUST be a part of the organisation that did it. No one else can just randomly inprison you or execute you.
    2: TO actually execute and imprison someone is a advanced thing. You must do alot of tasks and small "quests" almost every time you wish to do so, like a trial, a questioning ect ect... (Executions taking REALLY REALLY long times to actually finish, like days)
    3: Only a organisation leader can order a execution. Nobody else. And once again, only on his members.


    What do you think of this idea?

  11. They explained that they have investors who will invest the rest of the budget.

    The KS is to show them that DU is something the community wants.

    Well... that is the SMALL issue. Most people (That hasn't looked into Dual universe and the videos and devblogs) see the kickstarter and thinks "Pfft, it will just be another No man's sky" meaning that they won't give money to it.

     

    The issue isn't that people don't want it (they do, they really want a game like this) but... that they kinda gets put off by the fact that the recent failure of NMS still hangs sour on their tounges.

     

    BASICLY... Dual universe couldn't have come at a worse time regarding their kickstarter and timing.
