Welcome @naprzemoo
We can only be hopeful about such things. It only takes 1 selfish or lazy person to corrupt it all

I worry for you sometimes @Jetah

@Jetah
Like Meiki said, fans were primarily used in Chinese martial arts.
The way a fan is made (layers of wedge shaped material) allows for it to be made from almost any material available.
So martial artists mainly incorporated them into their style so they had a means to deflect arrows & thrown objects.

Fan's did not have a sharp point on each wedge until Chinese concubines and female assassins took a liking to it as a hidden weapon.
This later become the only use for the fan as gunpowder was introduced.

@Jetah said in Fan Weapon Type:

What's neat about Fans is that they can be folded and used to stab (it would mimic a dagger).

This would actually just be like the edge of a desk.
So it would be like your jabbing someone, except with far less force than if you were going for a blunt strike.

welcome welcome

@Xzoviac
Base stats not changing?

I'm sure they confirmed in a video that there will in fact be ways to increase your base stats beyond the original permanently.
Using shrines or some such.

Also you can always re-arrange your base stats while at a campfire.

I hope after launch such "stat" enhancing items are much harder to come by.
Probably the best thing wow did with classic was progression.

There are other "stats" that everyone always forgets about on gear.
Such as armour, weight, damage, attack speed & durability.

@Kuroi part of the original stretch goals was a multi-level labyrinth

@Xzait said in Buildable items for plots:

@Gothix i reckon an archery target could work. if someone (like myself) is a hardcore archer fan, they will design their base to fit it in :3

OMG! i would love one of those side to side moving practice dummies.
I don't care who i have to kill for them to take my gold, I want one!

Seriously though, can we just get back to talking about what things would be cool to add in our domains.

If online guilds do not transition into the game, then i doubt that your online profile would transition into the game either.
So something like reserving a name would actually be kind of important to some people (especially role players)
As your in game name would potentially be stolen from someone else seconds before you got to create it.

As someone who does have this perk i would certainly like to know how Dynamite plans to provide the opportunity to "reserve a name".
Maybe if the community manager @Znirf ever leaves discord, we will get an answer.
Otherwise we will just have to wait till @Prometheus gets back from holiday.

@Jetah said in Wanted to Know if there is any gameplay out there?:

youtube and twitch should have some.

that they do

@Jetah said in Summon Fellow Demon Players Ability:

it's only that if just the "female" demons are sent in underwear.

No, that would be sexual discrimination.

@Pwnstar said in Min/Max'ing and crafting/fighting:

Think of it this way. 18 versus 17 is a difference of 5%.

Not always no.
Your assuming that 0 stats = nothing (almost all games work with some base value)
Also each additional stat may have a falloff effect, meaning each stat is not equally as effective as the last.

I am well aware of what you are asking @Jetah
there was really no need to explain it when i had just said what you explained in my post.

@Jetah said in Foundation chests:

@Eurav

i'm sure if enough people want them, it'll become an item.

they might add a skin for in game chests that mimic the foundation items if enough people ask for it.
Otherwise i'm sure it will remain separate for the fact it needs to look good to sell good.

Despite only being available via the foundation atm. it's sure to be in the shop at launch, otherwise they would not have bothered creating them in the first place.
They would have simply given you specific items as a foundation reward.

@Gothix said in Buildable items for plots:

"Hunting trophy" house decorations would be cool, to show off that you managed to kill those "hard monsters".

Decorations that drop from hard monsters should be bound when picked up (to the person that actually made the kill, not loot-able by random passer by), and should only drop if kill was made solo (no other damage on mob detected, no external healing on player who made the kill detected).

Get a "challenge" trophy (decoration), bound to you, only if you made a solo kill of a hard moster.

---

Some normal heads, that @Xzait mentioned, could also be available, and those would be tradeable.

the game is setup to be solo friendly so that wouldn't work.

to give incentives to group up, group content could give heads of bosses.

That just shows you have never managed such solo feats yourself.
My WOW hunter had 8 of the 10 Molten Front challenge tames. For a solo player like myself, they are super hard to get.

i dont understand the point

It is simple progression & devaluation of items.
Lets say you kill the local goblin leader, his bounty was 50 coin. You were able to do it after 3 days of playing tho & on first attempt.
Compare that to killing the Salamander queen worth 500 coin. Took you 1 month of playing & 2 attempts.
So why would you want to go kill the goblin leader or display his head anymore.
Maybe because it just looks cool. Or maybe you only want to display the strongest & hardest things to kill.
Everyone has their own reasons.

easy content, i dont like that in a MMO.

For starters you need to remember that anything like vanity items are primarily going to be purchased from the shop due to that being how DMS keeps alive.
So if they implement something like this, they would not make it "easy content". Players would earn such trophies.

@Xulu said in ETA on developer forum?:

I think the main reasons are so that the immortal+ backers have a VIP lounge that no one else does, lol.

If this was the case, it would have been done long ago (just another tab with exclusivity)

@Yitra said in ETA on developer forum?:

What could make this exclusive and valuable to me, assuming you are using sprints, are small updates on those, what are you guys working on (edit your minutes, if you can or will not share all of it, can be part of an NDA). Maybe small behind the scene video's (nothing fancy).

I agree that this should not take your focus from the real development, but some raw content from time to time would be much appreciated.

This is most likely the reason why they have not done it yet. (they know what you guys want)
Some things they simply can't show despite everyone agreeing to an NDA.

You can't expect a random group of people to do what you want them to, where the only thing you know about them is the money they payed for your product they have interest in. Especially when your asking them not to talk or share information about the one thing you are aware they have an interest in enough to pay lots of money for. Unless there is a clear & obvious risk for the random group of people to share information, why wouldn't they happily share such information.

There is however a clear & obvious risk for the developers if the wrong information does get shared.
Such as information getting shared before the development team has agreed on what it is internally.

I'm just playing catch-up here

@Farlander said in Communication between the worlds:

A language barrier is a degree of difficulty at the beginning of the game. Casual players will leave if they can't interact with their friends.

The only degree of difficulty would be going from one planet to another.
If this was even implemented it would have to follow the rules the devs have already set in place.

As long as there are chat bars and chat programs languages are moot because how many times do you type in spatial chat at that point? So other languages will only affect meeting people you don't know. Other than having achievements or knowledge point gains I can see it being ignored alot of the time.

If this is true, then you shouldn't have a problem with it, right?

Friends definitely matter...at least for me. I played SWTOR for 2 years with friends. When they all left I was the last holdout. That's because I absolutely loved the game. I stuck it out another year or so going solo. I eventually left because I just had no fun playing alone.

Aye friends are important & @Gothix did try to point out that you would either already be playing with your friends on the same planet or you would need to find a way to travel to another planet to talk to them.

So this language system for each race would only add gameplay & lore for those who want to enjoy it.
It would not take away gameplay or add difficulty to those who do not want it.

Again, only if its implemented by the devs

@Jetah said in Effect from Taming on mainly PvP:

taking a tropical pet into the frozen tundra should mean death for the tropical pet.

lol i can't imagine them getting that serious with survival. (hindrance perhaps)
Certainly not after they said the survival elements were only to make the exploring for fun.

The posts on discord did indicate they are going to have a pretty serious taming aspect tho.
So i wouldn't be surprised if they added skins & other vanity items for your tames.

@JaC There is a first for everything
