#884023 Open Topic On What Keeps You Playing Fallenswords

Addicted maybe? I know I am! And no FS anonymous either.  :)

 

Yeah, I could just have written addicted and saved myself a lot of typing LOL :)




#884019 Open Topic On What Keeps You Playing Fallenswords

Posted by Pardoux on 06 August 2014 - 21:13

I'd agree with some of what you say Chaos, and not with other bits but, for me, the game keeps me coming back for the following reasons.

 

1. Uncapped (so far) content

 

2. Many facets of the game to play - levelling, arena, se hunting, titan hunting and yes, the pvp facets too (not that I partake in those)

 

3. Community - made some great friends in here

 

4. Hoof's dedication to the game. I know it's his "baby", but he goes "above and beyond" at times to sort stuff out.

 

5. "force of habit" - given I've been playing now for over 6 yrs, I "have" to keep coming back  ;)

 I really dislike the word what is good for business. To be honest games need players that is what is good for business. Graphics do not bring players all the time.  Some good examples of this is movies.  Have you ever been to a movie with the best graphics and it had the worst story-line? I think even better yet is a movie with no graphics but regular images and had such a rich story-line you had to see how it ended.  To me graphics is like frosting on a cake.  Cake is the game content.  I have a hard time enjoying a cake with tons of frosting and no cake.  

 

I am from the generation of Atari, Coleco, and first edition of Nintendo games.  I ponder the thought of graphics is best for business when those games come out.  We all look at the games now and say yup sad graphics but back then game was cool to play.  My point is games that are good in business are not always graphic games.  Word games online most do not have great graphics do well.  It is up to hcs to decide how they feel about their work. 

 

I like to give the staff of hcs on this thread a big compliment on how well they are doing. :wub:   I can say for myself graphics does not hold me to a game.  I can say seeing my gear all bloody does not hold me to a game either.  I can say all pvping in a game is another thing that does not hold me to a game.   I will say good response to my questions from staff and repairs to a game does.  I will state solid game content that works well is important to me.  I will state player diversity is another important factor.  In this player humble opinion having staff of a game like hcs playing the game and working wtih community really impresses me as a player.  Keep up the good work here and letting us players know of updates is very good for business work.  :D

 

I know this is not about me but the community and I hope the community keeps on responding. I am here to say all graphics are not  evil. I feel it is up to hcs to decide if they feel they need to step up graphics or not.  I am thinking that we may need a thread on what keeps you playing here on fs. ;)

Personally, I think upping the graphic level of the game would be majorly DETRIMENTAL to the game ....

 

The game is slow enough to perform at times as it is without massively increasing the overhead caused by flashy new graphics




#883807 Some complaints and ideas for common frags

Posted by shindrak on 05 August 2014 - 15:35

Adding the common item to the FINAL regular creature in a content release would be quite a lot more user friendly to be honest. Since that would be the creature people are most likely to blow their last wad of stamina on at the end of their hunt...

Agreed even so i don't care much about Composing




#883662 Ladder Reset time + World events?

Posted by BigGrim on 04 August 2014 - 13:23

This will not be happening. The Ladder Reset is random on purpose. To many players would ignore the ladder until reset and then try to blitz their opponents. Not going back to that.




#883616 Ladder Reset time + World events?

Posted by sweetlou on 04 August 2014 - 02:13

There is a lot that needs to be 'upgraded' with the Ladder, however this is not one.




#883597 Ladder Reset time + World events?

Posted by RebornJedi on 03 August 2014 - 23:02

Wouldn't be fair to those in different time zones.. Random is best


#883582 Ladder Reset time + World events?

Posted by Pardoux on 03 August 2014 - 21:41

I was thinking about the ladder reset time about how it's random. Wouldn't it be easier if was set to reset at midnight instead? Anyone else agree? It would probably make the ladder a lot more interesting...And as for all these like legendary events and stuff we should have the option to click the monsters we want to kill similar to as in setting the preferences on no monster spawn when titan is active. More work for HCS but it'll be a lot easier and more efficient for players doing those events? Any suggestions?

 

The whole point of the random reset is just that - that it's random - so no-one involved on the ladder knows when it's going to reset so can't time their hits to fall just before the reset.

 

So, I'm gonna vote no (even though I don't, nor have I ever, play the ladder .. )

 

(also, a fixed reset time would benefit players in some time zones and be majorly detrimental to those in others ... )

I think sending out emails to old players is wrong, and it is also illegal in some countries (eg. the country where I live). I gave my email in order to register but I never gave the permission to spam my inbox. I would not want a mail from the Cows whenever I decide to retire.

 

Virtually yours,

Zennaro

LMAO! So now you remember all the fine print you read however many years ago. One email isn't necessarily spam. I just laugh at the Internet hostility about privacy... I agree to a point but at the same time I have to say, "Really? After all the cold spamming everyone gets one email from a company that you have had a relationship with for(6 or 7 years) so long?" Please don't get your undergarments in a bunch.




#883238 Mercenaries - In DIRE need of additions

Posted by BigGrim on 01 August 2014 - 13:29

I'd be happy enough to look over the Mercs and boost the stats of some of the weaker ones. I just have a lot I'm working on at the mo. Events (Quango Island), new Arena prizes (will open a thread for that soon.) and new GRP prizes (will open a thread for that soon too). Various other odds and end as well as keeping Support up to date.


#883167 Idea that might enhance global quests

Posted by Bleltch on 01 August 2014 - 03:26

I'm curious why the top 100 need more rewards? I thought that's was what the medal was for?




#883211 A new BIG buff.

Posted by Davros81 on 01 August 2014 - 07:41

I voted no, nothing personal but the idea of stamina transfer has always been a no touchy touchy subject with the cows and tends to get them in  frenzy like a red rag to a bull :wacko:




#883176 A new BIG buff.

Posted by cyrus7 on 01 August 2014 - 04:17

Stamina Booster (Epic):
Level - 1400 (?)
Stamina cost: 20
Duration: 300-400 minutes (?).
+ 1 stamina gain increase for each 25 points applied on the skill. (Only work if you are wearing 9 Epics) 

 

Spend 20 stamina to receive up to 7 stamina per hour, if you are wearing 9 Epics.
Proposed duration of 300 minutes.
300 minutes = 5 hours
5 hours * 7 stamina per hour = 35 stamina gained total during the duration.
35 stamina gained (gross) from buff - 20 stamina (cost) for buff = 15 stamina gained (net) over 5 hours
 
This means the player would receive a net of 3 stamina per hour during the duration, if they self-cast.
And let's remember that the proposal is that this only works if the player is wearing 9 Epics.
 
Obviously, it will be pointed out that it will further widen the gap between those who can afford (or whose guild can afford) to have a full set of Epics equipped 24/7, and those who can't. I'm sure others will expand on that, so I won't.
 
However, another important thing to note is that if this buff can be cast on other players (not just self-buff), we basically have a mini "stamina transfer" buff, which has been vetoed by HCS every time it has been suggested.

Utter nonsense. Support bends over backwards to help people. Generally, the ones who feel they don't get help from Support are the troublemakers who do not see why rules should apply to them.

A huge amount of feedback we get from players is that they actually love just how much we do for them through Support.

I will personally testify that i have actually called the cows regarding things and have not only been treated GREAT and my needs met and taken care of, BUT also some nice little conversations to boot!!  (even taught me how to send something thru a support ticket!! with patience and kindness)
