We’re thinking about making towers deadlier in the capital cities. As we’ve explained before, capital cities will become the only starting areas. Our thought is to make capital cities a safe haven for all players, more so than they are now.
let me start of by saying thanks for the much needed update. second by saying man you guys are all over the board arnt ya....
to the meat..
I think the idea of zap towers being more stonger is not going to help your new players one iota.
If you really want to help new players add roaming npc's that can be killable by any one. that would assist a blue aligned player if the event he is with in the area of said npc.
again make them attackable and killable so that a organized force can still have a reasonable chance to still raid capitol cities.I dont want to here the game engine cant handle it. then its your job to make it happen. Zap towers are the easiest thing to exploit and easiest to get around there is and they are to limited to where they are. \
Darkfall has the best AI in terms of npc i have ever seen why not make this shine with npc that help not only other ncps but blue players. their area of coverage can be limited to the radius of the capitol city and maybe in between one newbi starting area and not have as many there.We don't want (SAFE ZONES) But we want a place that new players can get the help they need to move on. It is a fundamental learning curve to get ganked and learning to use terrain for cover and stealth and getting higher ground to kill more skilled players. you cant just pick that up. its something you have to be almost forced to learn. and Right now darkfall does that. If you make it to where its 100% safe its never going to happen.
Players need to still have a chance to want or try to attack capitol cities.
TO tie in another area into this you were Discussing was Player vendors in player cities. YOU have this wrong too. You want to help new players then you need to get the items to them in a simi safe manor. Putting CLAN vendors With banners of the Clan in Capitol cities is one way. And would be very effective of not only giving exposure of a helping clan but one that can corner the market if the clan so chooses to fight over the space of the vendor.
The clan vendor in the capitol cities need a Shard or something to fight over away form capitol cities that allow rights to own this vendor for 1 month so evey month it becomes avail to take. There can be up to two or three vendors per capitol city. and in the clan bank will be the interface for the the vendor to add items rank applies to adding and taking out items. money tended from the vendor 10% goes to the guards in the capitol city to arm them and rest goes to the CLAN VAULT.
There needs to be more reasons to be Blue AND more reasons to visit capitol cities more Reason to help new players more reasons to inter mingle the two players if that makes sense. more then just a chat box with text. WHy not add quests that are meaning full for both new and experienced players to have to work together to make them meet?
Right now its eleet and non eleet and they never meet up they never talk to each other unless its in hateful text in the chat box.
These are just my First thoughts on this and i have to take a step back and thnk some more to get it clearer. Please discuss your ideas and STAY on topic and keep it good chatter please.
