Logged Ideas of Wyvern - Act Three

The insanity is back with yet another entry. You all should know what's going on by now and if you don't, read the first two paragraphs of this post: http://arilou-wyvern.blogspot.com/2008/01/logged-ideas-for-wyvern-act-one.html ... ... .... All caught up now? Good. Let's begin then...

Ideas That Make us Wonder how you Function After so Much Brain Damage

The title says it all.

2004-07-15 11:16:21: Y [wiz/arilou/amita/village/ruins 8 10] Have especial penalties for people who kill neutral NPCs of their own race- i.e. elves become branded "Kinslayers," humans "Murderers," etc.

Arilou's reply: A human that kills an elf isn't a murderer?

2003-04-16 00:15:28: A [wiz/janica/balloons/arkillion 14 14] more board games like monopoly

Arilou's reply: Agreed, copyright infringement is fun!

2003-09-28 23:08:41: K [wiz/arilou/hidden_elves/unicorn 19 7] undead unicorns should have unicorn horns too cause without them they are undead horses

Arilou's reply: Having a horn cut off makes a creature into an entirely different species? Since when?

2003-06-26 11:25:14: A [minath/city/prison2 9 1]FIRE SHOULDNT HURT SO MUCH

Arilou's reply: Okay, we'll get right on that. Would you like anything else while we're at it? Free experience, perhaps? Maybe a few million gold? Oh I know... how about a sign that points you to a shop where you can buy fire resist items?

2004-01-01 12:51:53: P [wiz/arilou/forgotten_oak/special/skulldungeon2 2 6] instead of getting banned you should get exciled from that town (that you got banned in) for a certain amount of time, cause if this was real, banned would be death..but exciled would be more fitting to this RPG..thank you

Arilou's reply: Great idea! After silencing you, sending you to jail, and warning you that you need to stop to no end, all we can do is "excile" you from a town so you can wander between the others shouting quest information and offensive language while also abusing bugs, abusing people to no end, and spamming. All of which fits perfectly into your vision of an RPG, I'm sure.

2004-04-08 23:25:37: R [wiz/arilou/forgotten_oak/mansion2 11 13] people should go to jail for half an hour with over 5 trill gold bail and then do whatever they did for a banished or banned offince.

Arilou's reply: Great idea! After silencing you, sending you to jail, and warning you that you need to stop to no end, all we can do is let you go to jail for a half hour. After which you can go back to shouting question information and offensive language while also abusing bugs, abusing people to no end, and spamming... deja vu, anyone?

2003-06-28 12:43:00: C [wiz/arilou/amita/mansion4 12 15] mea an orc race that way all the orc axes and orcish bows and orcish armor and stuff could be used

Arilou's reply: Orcish armor and weapons can't be used without an orc race? Since when? What about all that pirate stuff? Do we need to make a pirate race too? If only we had orc monsters in the game that benefited from the flavor that exists thanks to them dropping orc items and if only all the races could use these items despite them being made by orcs... but alas, your logic has foiled me. Now we need to make a race to give these items a purpose even though dwarf and elf characters pretty much ignore armor/weapons made by their race and go for whatever is at hand or the most powerful.

2003-11-06 16:19:27: K [wiz/arilou/amita/enter 4 1] Kind of like Choasnaga was mayor of Lysegu, we should be able to elect a president of Wyvern.

Arilou's reply: What part of the whole medieval king system where one rules by blood did you miss? Never mind the concept of governments not being far reaching enough or friendly enough to unite under one rule.

2003-07-13 00:36:08: T [wiz/arilou/forgotten_oak/orctower 10 23] There should be some sort of 'Success' message when I summon a monster

Arilou's reply: I can see why a hulking creature appearing right next to you would be confusing. Instead, a line of text that easily gets lost in battle messages is obviously a must and requires our utmost attention!

2003-08-29 19:39:11: F [wiz/raeden/burashaan/High_Mountains_3 12 3] stronger monsters should give more xp when killed by weaker players

Arilou's reply: Grrreeeaattt... now we're rewarding unbalanced players who figure out how to kill monsters way below their level and giving more XP to mages and archers who can safely fight higher level monsters while fighters stand no chance against them.

2003-08-29 22:30:20: T [main/lighthouse3 5 5] you shouldnt be ale to talk to npsc when invisible

Arilou's reply: Okay, I guess I can see why not being seen by someone makes it impossible for them to hear you... wait, what?

2003-10-12 14:21:31: C [wiz/janica/castle/towersw1 6 27] Hydra's should be able to wear 5 girdle

Arilou's reply: I must need to get my eyes checked. I don't see 5 waists on the hydra graphic... how odd.

2003-09-26 19:34:02: K [wiz/avalon/city/blackrose_city 38 32] i was thinking since dwarfs are overpowered and nagas at hydra form can wear 5 ammys...if raks could wear tail rings

Arilou's reply: One race is overpowered so rather than suggest we balance them your solution is to add more power to another race? ... I'm sure that makes sense to someone.

2004-04-07 19:16:04: R [village/newbie_house3 8 2] I think it would be cool if u could put transporters in the new verden prison or any other prison the transporters can let u go to cell to cell to visit other players in the cells

Arilou's reply: Do yourself a favor, never design a real prison. You'd just be leaving yourself open to a lawsuit.

2003-07-13 01:41:53: S [wiz/legolas/zoo/bar 4 10] The minath arena should be like sokoban for every level you get a quest point or something like that

Arilou's reply: One quest point for killing a few kobolds, then another for killing a few elves, and so on... genius.

2004-05-16 17:07:09: O [wiz/arilou/amita/village/slums 8 17] maybe we should have a religion channel

Arilou's reply: Oh boy and while we're at it how about a quest information channel, and a complain channel, and an "anything else we don't allow and would result in you getting silenced just for using it" channel.

2004-07-04 16:10:06: Y [wiz/arilou/amita/village/path1 5 22] A whine channel for whenever you really need to vent.

Arilou's reply: (this is not the same person as above) ... another one... great.

2004-10-05 14:43:32: arhige [village/magicshop1 7 7]
i think pixies should get the pixie dust reagent for free, because, well, their pixies.


Arilou's reply: Well okay, pixie dust just appears out of thin air afterall. It's not like someone in a pixie community spends their day gathering it and even if that were true you're one of their kin, so of course they can give you their sweat and blood for free. Oh and while we're at it, dwarves should be able to get dwarven smithed weapons and armor for free too. Makes perfect sense to me because, well, they're dwarves, right?

2004-02-11 05:21:05: N [continent 69 152]
make a super monster suck-o-matic so you can suck up any monster


Arilou's reply: *laughs* Yeah, that's what we need. You and a bunch of other brain damage patients running around spewing demon lords and riagors anywhere you are allowed to. Never mind the logic behind being able to trap powerful monsters into something you can carry around with you.

2005-08-22 12:00:03: R [village/village 24 23]
this game sucks big can you make something actually good and worth it


Arilou's reply: Sure thing boss.

2003-06-28 07:53:47: L [continent 157 297]
i would like it if janica would make smithing bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows possible

Arilou's reply: How exactly does one go about smithing bows and arrows? No wait, let me guess. You hammer a little wood, some string, a handful of feathers, more wood, and a very tiny bit of metal for the arrowhead over an anvil and then... Wala! Presto! Smithed bows and arrows! Absolutely amazing!

2003-06-28 11:24:45: W [wiz/kiz/samhoc/barracks 2 1]
nagas need a high lvl 1 square player maybe diamond golem? maybe at lvl 18?

Arilou's reply: How exactly does a naga shift into a lifeless construct that is animated by magical means? How exactly do you think that makes any sense? How exactly do you feed yourself... wait, you do feed yourself, right? *crosses fingers* It could go either way with this one, folks!

Well that's it for today. I think there are two more of these left and then we can move on to discussing Binyamin's love of singing songs. So stay tuned... or not. Really, I don't care. It's just that all the cool kids end their ramblings with that and so, wanting to fit in, I feel obligated to do the same. That or I'm just too lazy to write something original here so I'm repeating common TV phrases. You figure it out.

I am of the opinion that every player should go through the log and search for their own posts every so often.

If not for the learning experience, then for the laughs.

I hope that "Wala!" was ironic
