a different atmosphere

[Far]

we all remember the beta days of mir2 when you got scared soon as you saw a forest yeti, and decided to throw a fireball at it and run for your life.

nowadays, with the amount we play this game, all that scary atmosphere has gone. even if your level 15, and come across a bichonlord, you arnt affraid of making it run in circles trying to kill it with your soul talismans.

my question is. how do YOU think you could bring more atmosphere in to a server on certain maps. to make you actually run from certain mobs, or be weary of whats going to be on the next area of map.

any idea goes aslong as its practicle.
thanks for your contribution.

I'm not quite sure :S The only thing I could think of is to have everything new. Not knowing about a certain mob's strength, or a certain map's layout.

Tbh when you enter any new server (which has been changed) then you get the same feeling as you don't know how much they have edited the mobs'.

Wll most of server have it so when uteleport yu get a town teleport so well theshold be removed, and well i guess it cant be done wtih the servers arpi d AMT. as tgeyr all high stat high lvl servers.... i gussss if oyu want soemthing like yo udescribe yo should have a server with normal stats and lvlign.

tbh the easiest way would be to make the mobs stronger. A noob goes to hit a low level mob it hits them back alot harder, they run. A high level player hits a boss mob thinking he/she can solo it the boss hits them 3 or 4 times and there dead.

Well what i found out is that its more Scarey When u have the Map Dark...
...coz on my offline server..
i have a small grass map with a few ruined houses and Other things...Looks pretty kreepy..but when its dark its worse..
All ya need is to make map spawn a mob that has a horrible Sfx, Ghouls i used and frost tigers have a scarey one.......................
Also no minimap so people dont know how big map is or where they r going...

( i have a feeling i use "...." to much) .......But never mind :P

Basically, I think it's the sounds that do it, and we've all become desensitised to the mob sounds on Mir.

New sounds would add a new atmosphere... Take the Tie fighter fly-by noise for example... Reverse it... New mob approach sound

hmm yes i remeber first playing mir and having this atmosphere i was scared of a cannibal plant bcoz they could 1hit me. lol good times. i think there is no way of bringing this atmosphere back its like the first ever time u drink coke, the bubbles go up ur nose and its a feeling u will never have again. the only possible way of doing this is to make a completely different mir. different controls different maps and gameplay, it give you that insecure feeling bcoz you dont know what you are doing. Good topic post tbh i miss those times

 

[Blaminator]

I reckon a good way of doing this would be something unique, of course, mir is like a drug You cant stop playing it, but you never get that feeling that you got the first time


On a side not, drugs are bad kids, don't do them

thanks for your comments so far. i didnt expect to get this many posts on-topic.

i think sound is a main area that causing atmosphere.

i had the idea of instant 'quests'. eg. u walked on a certain spot and an array of of mobs would appear around you. i dunno. some original idea might make it better.

keep ur thoughts coming please.

 

[Nutter]

well, i think oberon had it with the sounds....
take normal mir sounds and change em
i had ago..they aint brill but its a start aye?

Both formats sounds.zip + rar jst incase

a little off-topic. in mir2 sound folder theres a second alternate theme tune which wasnt used, but i like it alot better. i dont have mir2 installed, could someone plz upload this theme?

on topic. i like thos sounds. maybe some random generated sounds when you walk over certain areas for an added effect?

 

[Shard]

I think it is called Field2, or Main_Theme. MainTheme is like a Piano and Field2 sounds more like an eerie theme music. Field2 is 32mb though :S and both in a .rar its 23mb and I can't be bothered uploading lol.

Wav's 144 & 145 are the sounds of character's dying... It's fun to fiddle with these... Have a try with these ones... (backup provided)

You can also adjust the sounds in your own client's to your own preference. With the right wav files, you could create individual sound patches to spice up the game for peeps
