Ideas for The Next Meeting

[Sarumar]

An option to impliment as opposed to creating a whole slew of lvl 1 thru 10 quest could be to impliment invisible barriers.

The same barriers that are used to prevent the hero from entering a cave before a part of the quest is complete could prevent a young player from crossing a threshold prior to meeting an experience minimum.

Obviously this won't prevent a weak player from quickly getting killed, but it will prevent a level 5 hero from even getting past the guard to try and enter the Fallhaven prison (for example).

Examples of barriers could follow lines similar to update releases.

Im agains, I just hate games where " please come back when you are lvl xx, etc"

[Treadmore]

So far I haven't restarted a character or gone back to a very early save from 6.10 but through all the levels I have found things can turn into too much of a slog.

With the latest release, for example, with the plaguecrawler things the fight just takes forever as I then the mob take turns in missing each other! And the slog feeling is reinforced by the need to grind for experience points to level up and acquire new skills (every 4 levels - feels too long to me).

Whilst in development this is ok but your meeting could discuss how the final product should balance the slog/grind versus instant reward/kill.

I want a slog! Is it furry or scaly? Oooooo! What color are they? Can they be trained? Are they smart like a parrot or cuddly like a koala?

They're invisible (obviously) and their texture depends upon your emotional state

This is where we are right now, any last minute requests?

See my "boat" idea in the "swimming & climbing" thread.

If that's how it works, how about new game +?
Restarts a completed game using same character and items.
Game increases in difficulty, quests are replayable, and exp/gold drop increase

I guess nobody noticed my the message I left in haste... dont recall where it was. Oh well, it was pretty simple:

Concerning grinding legendary etc items, and about message popups.
Instead, why cant we have colored text IF we get something else than normal items.
Examples:

You picked up 3 items. (just normal items)
You picked up 1 item. (One rare item)
You picked up 4 items. (One legendary item and 3 normal items, only the best is shown as color.)

Would make it less likely to miss if you get something nice, but would not annoy those with loads of rare and legendary items

That's actually a good idea. It makes grinding less painful.

Nice idea, but I still like to see pop ups when i got extraordinary or legendary item. Becauce I do not like to choose see any normal drops for every battle...
