can we bump dis thread into the next page, those images too dam large
i feel the same shit over here lolSo many things in this video remind me of me and Necronia, I guess which is why you posted it here in the first place.
But I can tell you that we won't be adding any new features anymore, from now on (like the last 1-2 months) it's just pushing out the missing content and finalizing.
New content and features can come in updates later, it's important that we finish and release the server first.
It seems like I have forgotten(?) my account name / password and there's no way for me to retrieve the information. Is it possible that my account was deleted? Even my character doesn't exist anymore...
As much as I want to like this server, so many small things make me want to give up.
-The client is clunky. The "view" system is frustrating to use as you need to manually close the box every single time. It also takes forever to popup/disappear, so things like comparing food (which is important because of the vitamins) is annoying.
-The map, oh god the map. It makes me feel claustrophobic for some reason. There is WAY too much stuff on the screen, you have no idea where you can walk and where you can't. I know details are important in a map, but details should be used with moderation. When you over-load your map, it makes it unrealistic, it hurts the gameplay and it makes the map feel much smaller than it is. Maybe it's also an aesthetic issue, like using too many different sprites with different "styles". Trees from old-school Tibia, modern Tibia and custom sprites don't mix well together : https://i.imgur.com/DdFxIJO.jpg It's like playing Mario with sprites from the first game, the second game and the third game. They use different textures, styles, color palettes, etc.
-The loot. There is too much of it. It's tedious to drag 5-6 items every single rat you kill. I mean, loot diversity is great, but the loot % chance should be MUCH lower so that you get 1-2 item(s) on average, just like regular Tibia. I mean, I'm killing rats, not demons. I want demons to drop a crapload of loot because they're end-game monsters and it's satisfying to kill something big and loot big stuff. Low-end monsters on the other hand shouldn't drop that many items because we kill them in mass quantity anyway.
Another issue, not as important as the three above :
-As much as I think "vitamins" are a great end-game system, it's not really user-friendly for a newbie and you always need to "look" at food to see their "nutrition values" and then check the vitamins information to see what these vitamins do. Managing your health/mana regen is pretty complex for the first few levels ...
I have to agree on points that Skorr made. Map can feel overloaded with things, and sometimes it is not that clear to even see floor difference (-1,0,+1).
True that rats have plenty things to loot but it won't occur with stronger monsters, or at least it doesn't feel that way.
Although other thing I would like to mention is bordering. Actuall borders are placed like below displayed borders so things like this can happen.
cut field of view.
Same with chat, from this:
to this:
This is how the "view" system should work :
The classic "view" will remain, meaning that you can "view" everything in the game and the box popup will appear at the top of the screen (locked there, it can't be moved).
Note : The box size is adjusted. Right now, the box is WAY too big, like two times too big. I also changed the color for better contrast (shouldn't be as bright though, but anyway).
Then we get the second option, the "Free-view". Instead of left+right clicking on an item to see the information, you just press a key (for example, the SPACE key which is easily accessible when playing with WASD) which activates the free-view tool . When it's activated, all ITEMS (so everything that can be moved/put in your inventory) can be highlighted when you put your mouse over it. So when you put your mouse over an item, the info box will appear right above the item (or to the left of the inventory/your backpack). You can skim all the items in your inventory and see all the information really quickly, without having to left click + right click all the items and compare them. The info box should appear instantly.
I haven't played an OTS in years. That may change this Christmas.
This should be fine.Hey Shiva! I'm back from a long "study-rush" but i can't download Necronia from the site. Can you post the link here? Or give me a pv.
Will there be a wipe on release? or will we keep our open beta characters?
