Rpg -> wcs

[ZERO]

After looking over the balancing issues with the RPG server we believe that the only real solution is to switch to a WCS server. This will allow users to select classes and then upgrade those. This will make the game very different and thus fun.

So what do you all think? We are getting ready to make the switch tomorrow.

[Christmas]

Yes.

Much less linear, and it will provide different strategies.

I know of a very good warcraft server that I could send your way if you would like some original ideas.

[TheLittlestHobo]

That works also. As long as its some RPG mod that doesn't involve one having a complete set powers. I'll be ready to try to play it and give my two cents on it.

And if it doesn't work out, turning it into a Non-ranked-zombie-escape-map-only-server can be a back up.

[XxMastagunzxX]

I think this would be a good switch.

Also, since I know a lot of people are turned off by the idea of a WCS server, is it possible to change races from being "Orc, human, etc" to "Shotgunner, Scout Expert, etc"?

Shotgunner would be a race that benefits short-range skirmishes, spawns a shotgun, gives more speed, longjump perhaps?

Scout expert gives a scout with 90 rounds, more health, invisibility?

Just some ideas to throw out there.

I am thinking about doing something like that in the future, but for now it would take a lot of custom programing that is not possible before vacation.

Regardless I would like to add that I am planning on giving every class a custom model over time if we do go with wcs :muffy:

Very nice.

Looking forward to it.

[Hitman]

When is this planned to happen?

[JigSaW]

OR MAYBE STARCRAFT SOURCE???

this will be happening within the next 2 days.

[mastercheff]

do it wcs sounds awesome i'mm be a level 100 tank with smog and stun nades

[Hitman]

No smog or stun grenades on this.

you get to choose your class like warrior, priest, rogue, shaman and w/e and you go around leveling up the skills jsut for that class. Every class has its advantages and disadvantages. Its more balanced but one certain class has a devestating power over all and is very lethal when leveled properly and is the least expected one to make it

[Jeimuzu]

I agree with Hobo.

Let's see how it works out. And if it doesn't, non-ranked-escape-maps-only zombie server.

Also there will be other classes in the future that can be unlocked when users reach a given level.

Additionally, I am planning on trying to focus the wcs to be more skill based in that people will be rewarded more for headshots and less for actual kills and will not receive as munch bonus points for team wins or even as easy of a multiplication for above level kills.

The point I want to get across is that it is my wish to make the server very much like the GG server in that game play is enhanced though a steeper difficulty curve while preventing it from ever becoming a cliff.

Unlike the gg server logically you get more powerful as you go along however I wish to configure the server in such a way that no single individual is ever able to actually reach the end. Yes there is a point where you can not reasonably make classes stronger without breaking the game for the new players but I think that though the introduction of special classes that are not exactly stronger than there same leveled counterparts however are only available at very high levels in addition to custom models will allow the server to continue to offer new oppurtunities and experiences even for the top players for years to come. :smirk:

i agree if this entire rpg and wcs and all that stuff fails lets resort to a escape map on zm plan b is always zm :D

[Garry]

no zm bullshit ibis has a server already

keep with the wcs sounds fun im looking forward:wtg: to it!

[&&toasties]

....that is not possible before vacation.

are you fucking kidding?!

How many vacations do you need?!
