We're back!

[LightBringer]

So we've been quiet for awhile, in all honesty after the sheer volume of stuff we pumped out in a short space of time (full new UI, all new mob SFX done, HD spells started, tons more code added, quality orb feature fully fleshed out and so forth)
I personally needed a bit of a break to regroup on the next steps.
I also took time out to look at OS, what I liked, didn't like and what players feedback was on things (and I got a lot from it!)

We're now working on in game content
I am currently working on the starting (tutorial) area - which was originally the main town - this is to get people introduced to certain features, as well as having a nice 'early game' experience.
We have also added in a new main town!

I am hoping to have some substance to share with you over the next week or so!

Also apologies to anyone who messaged me over the last couple of weeks, I've not been on here much either (really just needed a refresh).

We are also looking to implement an AutoPlay feature similar to OS as from a huge amount of discussions with a large portion of players, it generally has always been positive to add it into the game.

I'm constantly thinking of servers to play. Done a bit of Mir M last week.

I'll try this when it's out

As much as I have enjoyed the Auto Play on OS, I'm not sure I want it to become a thing on most servers... Which I think it will be now.

It's a tough one.

I feel it adds a lot in terms of the 'average' player being able to maintain a level of playability, also means easy PK targets and more activity throughout caves.

For me because I can't play a server for long periods of time, it's allowed me to stay at a decent level. When I can actually commit a few hours, I can enjoy doing bosses/raids or whatever, rather than slogging out in the low level grind.

I don't think the flat EXP shards help as you can auto play in a large group, and still get decent exp from low level mobs if you want to play super safe.



You could go as far as if AutoPlay is active, Observer has to be on aswell, so you have a higher risk of being sniped being AFK overnight (obviously just a random thought)

could implement catch up mechanics for the people who havent played for a few days/weeks etc events to keep coming back and play with exp where the lower levels gain more to catch up with higher level players etc auto is just a lazy way of not having to worry about catch up

If a server is genuinely good people will play...

Having a user count of 300+ afk bots is nothing to be proud of lol

I played OS didnt really use auto one thing I did tho was clicked on the NPC where you convert items.... was like wtf am I looking at and logged off and haven't played again cuz of the god awful text lol

Honestly, don't think ill play another server without autoplay as it's just too convenient when working. To be honest the OS one is pretty basic too so if you could expand on that and try make it more friendly like mir4 that would be awesome.

I think adding more logic to it like the below could improve it a lot:

1. Options to only use aoe spells when there is more than x mobs in radius of target
2. Option to lure more mobs e.g. scan target area and if there is multiple mobs within x range and they are pathable within x amount of seconds then lure x amount of mobs before starting combat.
3. Option to have your character stay within x yards of where you started it so it will never go beyond that and start wandering off to random places.
4. Option to have your character stay stationery which works well for some classes like taos when they want to have their pets wall them in and then they can just sit there casting poison cloud etc.

not sure why people want these auto play so bad lol just stick a cap at level 60 then make items that get better at end game and you dont need to level and just have enough content to get gear and pvp like wow does no need to keep grinding and playing for no real reason to come back to a character that just plays itself all day haha just have to plan items maps and monster abit better to have enough to expand with new content and then move them to 70 etc like wow does good model specially if you do pvp gear and battle ground maps and for ranks give the character power score like mir m and rank people by the score they earn so reward it from quests/items score and everything.

What happened to if you wanna be good at a game you play it... lol

Do you have a car that drives itself yet? lmao

I wonder where the line would be drawn at “You just don’t need to play anymore”

Clients that log themself in are already the default, might as well have it determine if an item that the player auto picks up is worth keeping or will it go to an npc and sell it for you.

I understand that people don’t like the grind.. then don’t play a server with a exp rate you don’t like.

 

[LightBringer]

We already had catch up buff from our previous server where you get a X% exp buff per level difference between you and the top level.

I think like every feature it has people who like it, and people who don't is all

When I said that others will add it and it will make mir2/3 an AFK fest, I was called a salty little troll.

Sounds like something a salty little troll would say.

its like that now I dont really play any of them haha there all bad tbh its funny aswell you have people adding loads of features to a server that has max 10 players lol and its like why does it only ever have 10 players max ? cuz its **** and boring and nothing like what mir was haha then you have the other end of the scale where they have 300+ players that are all afk lol

See we've had a full group in STKR where people rotate in and out when afk and others drop out to go bossing and such.
It's a different look to the game is all.

I mean I'd prefer the auto play feature in something different, then playing the same **** content manually for the 100th time.


I will probably open a discussion on it later down the line, got a lot of little niggles to fix currently and content to drive.
So it is very low on the priority.

I think I may be adding it in no matter what, even if its for testing (as I can deploy like 10 clients in different areas, farming afk, see what level they get to in X time, what items etc)
- will be a very useful testing tool without needing end users to feedback (and find out) where the best places to level are

Would be good as you said, use for a server owner to test caves.

is that why people want auto cars as well because they sick of driving the same roads again and again? lmao

not sure why you would even need it for tests you can write code to test bits for you lol

If your bored of a game that you have to manually play you just dont play the only reason I can think of you wanting people to carry on playing is to keep your user count up to make it look good when infact its trash lol

youve popped up recently from no where and talk quite frankly a lot of bollocks, ive kept quiet for now but please, if you can do better, i will eagerly awat your server...

arnt you already smashing out those mir3d mob frames... or is it a lighting issue....

people like you always pipe up on others server with thier "ideas" but actually bring **** all to the table...

what? lol

People want AutoPlay on games, because the people who can't commit the time the hardcore can to it, still can 'farm' to an extent with the inherent risks

If you have autoplay as a test feature, you can set so many different scenarios to try cause crashes, test area's farming potentials and such. Legit its 100's of hours of time in testing that can be automated.

Im not bored of the game? Hence why I am still playing OS.
I'd have got bored of it already if it wasn't for the auto play feature, as I would have been miles behind in terms of levels, where as atm I am (level wise) in the rankings.
I wouldn't continue to AutoPlay the game either, if I was bored of it.

and if you think my server is going to be trash the jokes really on you mate.
