GlennRN (56 posts) Jun-07-00, 01:39 AM (Pacific) "My Round 3 or is it 4 question." Will there be a Gorrors in 8? Part of the incredible replayability for me has always been the Gorrors. I Keep a savegame of a level 50 non super team (no class changes) at the door to the thing. Decked out in their non hacked finest. Sometimes I hack in items, sometimes not, but I go in about once a month at least. Always a good way to kill an hour or so! Glenn RN ----- I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.   Top

Great point -- if not specifically Gorrors, I love little side things, like really tough monsters or hidden dungeons, that don't really have anything to do with the game, but are just there to explore when we're bored with the main story line, or when we really want to test our characters.

Llevram (5413 posts) Jun-07-00, 07:41 AM (Pacific) 2. "I had a similar thought yesterday" (Luckily I remember it today ) I was thinking it would be cool to have an "arena", where you could pick two characters of any level, race, class and pit them against each other. (As I write this I am reminded of dog or cock fights, but that is not where this idea stemmed) Just to see, hmm ... if a Level 10 Elf Mage were to go up against a level 12 Faerie Thief, who would win? Seems like it would be a nice testing feature as well, just to see what the characters (on their own using the AI) would come up with as strategies and modes of attack. Of course, if they give us that, then we will want to take our party members and pit them (as a group or individually) against these made up characters (or groups of them).

DrSlop (297 posts) Jun-07-00, 08:06 AM (Pacific) 3. "RE: I had a similar thought yesterday" Of course, being the sadistic task-master that I am, I would want to set my characters up against each other -- in a non-lethal fight... but the loser has to sharpen the winner's sword for a month. OE   Top

Blaupanzer (124 posts) Jun-07-00, 01:22 PM (Pacific) 4. "I also had a similar thought recently" Of course, this sounds very much like the basis for multiplayer -- a "comes later" modification. It would be neat to send your team up against itself, though, and see what the AI would do with your characters in a "balanced" fight. (What could be more balanced than a mirror image opponent?)   Top

mojo (0 posts) Jun-07-00, 05:59 PM (Pacific) 5. "RE: I also had a similar thought recently" And what if this arena combat served another prupose. Like,f'rinstance, oh...say a "mimic" had infiltrated your character roster. And you had to discover the imposter thru the most dangerous of ways. Armed combat...to the death... and you would have to figure out which character the mimic had become. Guess wrong, you kill a member of your party. Guess right, the thing morphs into its very deadly alien self and you have a huge fight on your hands. So the sooner you discern its true identity the more party members left to battle it/the better overall chance you have to defeat it.   Top

mojo (0 posts) Jun-07-00, 07:27 PM (Pacific) 7. "RE: Sounds like we are well on our way" Excellent! Shall we gather the troops? I can/would be delighted to write and/or edit. We need a working title. How's about Death Masque? Friend or Foe?   Top

Llevram (5413 posts) Jun-07-00, 08:40 PM (Pacific) 8. "Oh, no, those won't do" I've already had it picked out for a while now ... very original and captures the feel we want: Avengers, Barbarians, Crusaders, Defenders, Elfs, Faeries, Gnomes, Heroes, Incubii, Jesters, Legends, Mages, Necromancers, Oracles, Paladins, Questors*, Rogues, Sorcerers, (Gypsies, Tramps and) Thieves, Undines, Vixens, Warriors, Yetii and Zen-masters of the Realms of Light and Dark, Might and Magic, Ying and Yang, and Twinkies and Ho-hos! * had to go to the dictionary for that one Ya know, that seems a bit wordy, even when you break it down to the acronym (which I live for). How about just RPG: Rick's Popular Game Tools for your Wizardry(r) toolkit   Top

DrSlop (297 posts) Jun-07-00, 08:57 PM (Pacific) 9. "RE: Oh, no, those won't do" Or, to go with the naming scheme already in place for this board, how about: Greatest RPG Fan's Forum's Greatest CRPG Game Ever! OE   Top

mojo (0 posts) Jun-08-00, 02:40 AM (Pacific) 10. "RE: Oh, no, those won't do" Ok. Been working on "The Alphas" a while? Did you intentionally leave out K? Knights, I guess? X could be designated as the imposters slot or something like Xords. Or Xterminators. (You don't want to bug them.) (I've always wanted to do an X-Men series, Rick. Y'know...something like Xcretion--when it all hits the fans...but I suspect that's not the best way to try to get back in Marvel, huh?) So where/when does RPGame take place?   Top

rbrown (2 posts) Jun-09-00, 11:30 AM (Pacific) 15. "Two teams from two SAVEGAMES ?" Put your never-class-changed level 50 team up against your class-changed 3 times level 25 team. Run all of your savegames against each other and find out which is best. You could run 1 team AI vs your instructions, or instruct both teams.   Top
