If We Were To Try To Get 1 Stretch Goal Met, Which Would You Choose?

If we were to all band together, and try to get at least 1 stretch goal met which would you choose? Which do you think we'd have the best odds of getting met?

 

Horses, hands-down. Riding, traveling faster, fighting, jousting, carrying loads, etc.

And sell a nightmare-type horse in the add-on store for big bucks.

 

I think horses would be nice too. Getting from place to place faster would be best for me lol.

 

Pack animals FTW, horses would only add speed for traveling. Pack animals would let to carry more items to enhance gathering and activate commerce routes.

 

Elves (I'd want to play one and the reward is the one most enticing to me), or boats as a second choice. Horses get me nothing as my limiting factor is screen load times, not in-game travelling.

 

I voted elves. Mounts are great, but the scenes are too small to make them very useful.

 

I'd like pack animals eventually for sure. For now the scenes we go adventure in are so small, and from the mmorpg video with Richard the other night seems they want to make it so you can clear the places out and not let everything respawn very quickly, so the need for a pack animal wouldn't be as much a priority I don't think. I could see just clearing a place out, then going back to sell out while you wait on it to respawn or move on to the next xp/loot spot. No matter what people chose though if there were a REAL effort to get a goal met I'd be there helping though, but of course we don't have an official "Let's get this goal completed campaign" for any of them as of yet. Would just be nice to see what everyone would like at the moment, and see if there would be any interest in doing so.

 

I voted for elves too Of course, I might be a little biased because my fiancee is supposed to be the redheaded elven High Priestess of Chaos

 

Mounts. Elves are a dirty, inferior race of hippies.

 

I went for flexible placement first, for variety of decor and perhaps interesting placements of more than one "house" on larger lots. If I'd had a second vote I'd have gone for the boats though, tough call there as they sound fun (particularly imagining bringing a group to various locations altogether on a boat or such). Mounts would be nice, but with the stretch goal specifically excluding mounted combat less so, and I've seen them in other games so less unique than say boats from my perspective. Pack animals would probably win my vote above mounts, it sounds fun to haul a load of loot out of somewhere on your pack animal (though if mounted combat were in I'd give the nod to mounts, but it's not on the table at this point so far as I can tell). The poor elves drag in last in my consideration, though I'd like to see them added as well, I like the idea of not all player characters being "Avatars" for variety and roleplay opportunity Not sure I'd want to see player character "headlesses" though (they're not in the running anyway of course).

 

Flexible placement would edge elves, horses and pack animals for me

Flexible placement opens up a lot of housing opportunities, multiple smaller houses on a lot, housing more avatars that may not be able to get their own lot. Plus adding a lot of variety to how towns look.

All IMHO of course.

 

Boats for the win. Why go for horses in tiny scenes, when you can travel vast distances more quickly with a boat?

 

I would prefer Flexible placement. It would offer a true chance to personalize lots. Pack animals would be my second choice. I am a packrat when it comes to adventuring taking every last rusty sword I find in the hopes of making a profit on that object.

 

That made me LOL.

 

I love them all, but want boats the most because of in-game fun for me is most impacted by exploration and fishing

 

I voted for Pack Animals for two reasons.

1- This is the least expensive and easiest to reach goal.
2- With encumbrance, gatherers/foragers could stay out longer to collect more resources. More resources means more items to market. More items to market make for better, more competitive, prices.


Sailing boats around might be fun but it would probably work like random encounters on land where when something occurs you'll get sucked into a scene and everything will take place there. Horses for the small scenes and landmass we have now is not really necessary. Elves are cool but not needed right away for any practical purpose. Flexible lot placement would be my close second choice after Pack Animals.

 

^ Fishing for the winzorz

 

I like all the stretch goals, but I selected Pack Animals. The need to trade large quantities over long distances will become evident as we get closer to launch.

 

I won't actually put money into any stretch goals, but the one I most want to succeed is definitely mounts. Anything to speed up travel is good.

 

Flexible placement so I could finally actually decorate my Upscale Stables =(
