Hangout of the Avatar - Economy and Chat systems

On the matter of banking, you may want to loosely throw in there at some point the need for Guild banking vs Public or personal banking. Treasuries and access controls assigned to specific guild members only while they are a part of the guild.

 

Save me a Spot

 

added! Great to have you back again

 

*nudges* want to come and share your thoughts? I personally don't agree so it'd be hard for me to give a fighting effort on the other side of the fence No one here bites so come change my mind, please???

 

I hope hangout ll talk about the PvP ECONOMY. I mean the loot system.
Devs got right now a bad proposal whit the ransom system.

Few poeple and a couple of forum-farmer like the ransom system. No more. We must help portalarium. They run into a Big Wall head first.

 

For this we thank you.

 

That was a previous hangout... we've done two or three on PvP and I feel like we've covered that topic fairly thoroughly... as time progresses we might do another but right now I think chat and economy are good topics.

If you'd like to attend you're more than welcome but I'll be keeping the TTPvP chat at about two hours and 10 minutes (notice this is a two hour hangout ) if at all possible

 

I would love to join, if you have room. I will send you a PM for more info.

 

I would like, If possible, to be able to attend this. Any chance for a spot for me? =)

Only one RSVP spot left now

 

I silently watch the reshow as always.

But think this is a good spot to say thx for those always intresting conversations in your Hang Outs.

You tend to know the taste and positions of arguments many have after some shows.
Almost like a soap show with me wondering who will say what and how at what spot of the show.

 

*Cue dramatic music*

....But Myrcello! It's your baby!!!!

 

I doubt i can take part in the hangout so here my thoughts about chat as discussion base.

- global chat over the whole game shouldn't be allowed to prevent spamming
- chat in npc towns shouldn't go over the whole town to prevent spamming like in WOW (gold selling or other things), just stay like it is
- seperate chat in POT should go over the whole town but only for the inhabitants, so there must be a system to declare someone as inhabitant of the town, furthermore this chat should be optional for the town, so the POT owner can decide if he want it and perhaps the option should not be for free, so the POT has to pay or fullfill requirements to get the chat at all
- chat for guilds should be reachable over the whole game, the chat should be bonus for a guild so you have to fullfill a quest, pay or meet requirements to enable the chat. There should be options for the guild leader to restrict the access to this chat, p.e. over guild tiers
- group chats shouldn't go over the whole game but scene wide, because parties should be for doing something together and not just for chatting world wide
- whispering should open extra tabs with only this person as participant like with npc vendors. /r is insufficient if you have several whispers parallel and always typing /w reallyreally longnameswithspecialcharacters, is really annoying. An other option would be to shift with /r + or so through all whispers.

NPC Chat
What I dislike the most is, that you need to have the NPC in focus and you are not able to talk in local chat parallel, because the NPC takes even the command /l text as a message for him. /l should let you break out if they stay with the extra chat tab. The sytem how it works now is fine for SP but not for multiplayer. If you leave the conversation with the NPC, the NPC should also lose the focus.

 

I would only have one point about the Chat System - The classic Text Emote Function ( as in Ultima Online) to be included directly into the Chat System.

This is how it worked back then:

Emote

Emote refers to expressing a gesture via text. When you emote within the UOclients, your text will appear with an asterix (*) on either side. To use the emote game mechanic, start with a colon followed by a space. For example, if Warrior Joe types Colon - space - Smiles, the in-game message that results is *Smiles*. The text color for emotes is different for spoken text.

Other examples include: *Scratches his head*, *Looks Happy*, *Blinks Placidly*, etc.

As you can see this pole i made was pretty clear state:

I hope there is a way to reduce gold SPAM over whispers. I have seen that happen in WoW many times.

 

Updated the "up for design" list with a link to R13 post by Darkstarr

 

If there is room, I would like to be on the list of participants.

My particular interest is in:

• Global chat system(s)
  • Guild
  • Party
  • Do we want/need more? You decide! -- Need a Town/Alliance Chat system for intra-town connections to guilds.
• NPC chat systems(s)
  • What do they do now?
  • How can they be optimized?
  • What do we want to see? You decide!
• Vendors
  • NPC Vendor likes/dislikes
  • Player Vendor wish list! You decide!
  • Reveal: What does portalarium have planned right now for Episode 1
• Banking
  • How will it work?
  • Where will it work?
  • What can you do with it?
  • What do we need and what we don't want. You decide!
• Trade
  • Player to Player avatar trades - I like lots of realism here. Trust who you are trading with, or don't trust them and be wary.
  • Player to Player vendor trades (partially covered prior so possibly will be skipped)
• Adverts
  • Wish list: how can we show what we want sold... signs/barks? You decide! - I am interested in how to advertise shops and locations.

I may have more things to talk about, this is great! Hope I can be able to attend!

We're all full for RSVP guys! Thanks!

 

I would like to see a hangout on immersion, NPC scheduals, town layouts(player vs npc houses) and perhaps a bit on single player aspects.

 

Lord British was talking about doing this so I skipped it. Thanks for the suggestion but I think his will be better than mine because... yeah.
