Game Development: A Touch of Death

[Sevenless]

I don't think lunar knows that charter stones can be used for quick travel. But I've also seen lunar be rabidly anti quick travel (including roads), so maybe that's for the better.

Le-Sigh -> FIX THIS. They're just glorified hearth fires without it.

... what?

He wants it to be like before where charter stone names showed up on a list in the character creation room, rather than entering the name like a hearth secret.

Auction house > charter stone.

[Pickard]

Auction house > charter stone.

Trade is ok now, not perfect but it works. Charter stone is ok.
Dont waste time on "good enough" things.

We've mostly been talking tonight as well, generally speaking broadly and widely on the topics of player interactions, politics, warfare, trade, &c. One general conclusion is perhaps that we want the game to support more dynamic player interactions.

Will there be a rework of crime debuffs?

I'm aware of this, and I hate it, you're right about that. Fast travel was utterly unnecessary.

That being said, yes, I precisely want the return of the ability of players who've never been to the forums to pop through the charter stone off of a list.

This would be actually nice, there should be an checkbox at charter stone - "Make charter stone public" , that would put the charterstone name in a list which would be available by right clicking the skull at spawn zone and new players could spawn on them.

Anything in particular you feel needs reworking?

Stacking and scaling debuffs according to the severity of the crime would be good, I think. Right now there's not much incentive to just steal when you can vandalize, or just KO when you can murder. The Moot has some quotes in the line of "I committed this crime because I had already committed another crime" which illustrates part of the problem. For example, you could consider reducing theft penalties but making them cumulative per stolen item, adding more annoyances or longer debuffs for murder, making battery less serious, and so on.

Because you're foreseeing more interactions between players, and at the moment that sort of thing just ends with murder and destruction.

Thats the same in real life. A theft crime lasts 2 days, a vandalize i dont remember and a murder its like 8 days. Modifying this could led in less liberty and interaction. What we need is more rangers, not more laws.
