Poll: Adult rated towns/basements in SotA? [UNOFFICIAL]

Well, anyway this is the community without pants...

 

I'd go in there because that's where they hide. Are you saying you're ok with creating places where people can avoid accountability?

 

If they are in their own house, they can set permissions right. If they "friend" you then you can go in, but you are going in to their house. "not public"

 

So driving away the female gaming community isn't as important to you as the "right" to be able use this feature?

 

YES...so why do you need extra functionality?

Gotcha.

 

This is exactly like crating a separate flag for PvP with partial loot, and a flag for PvP with full loot. Too many flags doesn't make sense. Especially about a feature that doesn't make sense.

 

I never said I needed extra functionality, I am merely making a point that if it was private and consensual, that it would not affect your game play. I am not a dev, and you are not a dev. So lets let them worry about the dev stuff. What they need is feedback from us on our game play. Not us telling them what we think they should think.

 

I think there are already access controls on houses that allow people even when in pvp mode to avoid you. The whole way I understand pvp to work in SotA seems to be centered around pvp zones with important resources and control points attracting players who fight each other there. Those wouldn't be adult. Of course things would have to designed in a way that doesn't require players to enter an adult player town or adult player basement.

A standard method to deal with this is to require adult players to buy an adult access pass before they can get access to any adult rated zones in the game. Payment for this would require access to a credit card. As a parent, you just wouldn't give your kids access to your credit card without checking on their purchases. Besides, hard core porn on the Internet is only one click away via Google.

Relationship role players tend to be role players. They tend to be astonishingly mature. More so, on average, than those players attracted by killing, power or achievement. They are definitely not a more immature audience than average MMORPG players. Rather the contrary.

Could be. But if any of this interaction becomes adult they would be banned, because adult content would still not be allowed outside special adult zones (which you would avoid).

If some players manage to provide entertainment/content that other players enjoy so much that they would pay for it, why would that be a problem? I doubt that with the tools and limitations of the SotA engine that would ever get beyond game money amounts though.

When my character kills your character in pvp and dances on his corpse what would that be? Should we ban sex in RL just because some people engage in prostitution or sexual practises that you do not consider respectful enough?

This is why I would suggest to crowd source adult-only items and everything beyond that would have to be financed through separate revenue streams (e.g. adult access passes, adult basement deeds and so on). Players who like to play in adult zones tend to monetize relatively high, btw. I doubt that this would reduce resources available for the actual game.

Depends on the developers. I would not suggest to market SotA in any way as an adult game, even if there would be an option for adult basements or player towns.

 

No LLRD, what I'm saying is that the current functionality allows you to do whatever you want. Why do you need an open player space labelled Adult that people have to accept your terms before they enter?

Why can't we have a common Terms of Service or User Agreement where sexually themed whatever has to be consensual and private using the tools currently available?

 

If there is a functionality for it in the game then it would be officially a part of the game.
Also it would be possible to use this system in single player mode, too with NPCs. If there is a romance option with an NPC or a companion, maybe this romance could then get a "step further".

 

again, that is not my concern, that would be a dev concern. My question to you is still unanswered, you always evade questions that might make you reconsider your stance.

 

I answered all of your questions. I didn't say "I let the devs worry about that".

 

So many kids would abuse this If there was sex in this game, not to say there aren't mature players.

 

From what I recall is there is going to be guilds with a full time PvP flag. Also the blessing of the oracle should allow any player who completes that quest to become full time PvP. Otherwise it isn't Open PvP, it is just PvP zones. I would be very disappointed if PvP was only zone based.

 

I was surprised when people asked for a romance option, I was more surprised when the devs added it (for a small number of people that wanted it), and I would not be surprised if somehow a "step further" existed at some point down the road.

Why it's so important to some people I will never understand. It seems like a waste of development time to me. But I try to keep an open mind about it. It's only when it becomes something I that I have to worry about impacting game play (and I've outlined my concerns about segmentation there), the viability of the game (talked about that too), the health of my children (this should be obvious) or the potential allocation of development resources (away from the core elements of the game) that really concern me. Other than that, it seems like a fair request.

 

Unless you know how to block it and are a responsible parent.

 

I see no answer of how this feature if consensual, and discrete, behind closed and locked doors in their house would affect you in game.

 

As I stated before, that functionality exists right now. What you're asking for is additional functionality that would protect you from a more conservative Terms of Service so you'd have a free zone where you could do whatever you wanted in a group setting. The problem with this is two fold 1) you're creating an OPEN DOOR policy and putting the emphasis on everyone else to accept before they even know what the terms actually are (so they have to be offended before they know not to accept). 2) You're creating an environment where if I wanted to chase someone down I'd have to first agree to those terms and put up with whatever socially abstract environment the person is hiding in just so I can hold them accountable for their actions within the core elements of the game.

 

I don't see why there needs to be a functionality implemented. Truly online relationships are formed quite often. That isn't something the game necessarily needs to implement and I don't think or agree that There should be anything the game implements for this. You create your own world and imagination, and if you are not abusing the rights of others or dictating the rights of others, go and have your own role play world. You are free to create social aspects for yourself, whether that be an in-game marriage, relationship or whatever, that is your world, game that is lol.

 

Ok, I give up, you simply will not answer the question. I never once asked anything about chasing some one down and such. I am sure the devs would be able to address your open door policy, but again, we are not devs, so you are just speculating again.
