I don't know if the dev team intends to eventually make that a quest again.

I'd like it much better if it worked more like the warp ring pre NPC Server (would warp you to the last 'S' you touched?). Down the road release upgrade NPCs like 'Call Spaceship' that would give more functionality and more locations to travel to.

The warp ring already has this function. When you die you die in a "quest level" you are warped to the last save point or 'S' you've been to last.

I was on the Dev team. Thor says he has no plans for it.

That's not what he's talking about.
He means the warp ring only HAD that one save point to go to, no options to go to the bank or whatever.
Then people would use Call Spaceship, which was a reward in a much later quest to get access to more places via the space ship.

I knew what he was talking about. It has that function and more, is what I meant.

Black and White Graals, I actually wrote this a long long time ago.

Quote:

One of the smaller fun aspects of Classic was the Black and White Graal's that attached themselves onto the players and gave them minor benefits such as unlimited ammo. Much like the event Flag Bearer, if the player who had the Graal died, it would release from the holder and drop for someone else to pick it up, thus the cycle continues. I would like to bring this small feature back, and some improvements to it as follows:

The mysterious Graal's will appear in a large random selection of levels, in different X and Y positions in order to make them harder to find. These levels will include both inside and overworld areas, and like the Boomerang will just be sitting there waiting to be picked up. The Graals will not appear unless the playercount is above 5, which will prevent players from taking advantage (laming) the benefits they give.

When a player has found and picked up a Graal, they will make the Glass Graal gani action, and the Graal will appear in the players inventory as *Black Graal/*White Graal. Reason for this being so the player can't remove the Graal, to be consistant with the *Glass Graal, and to just give them an overall positive feeling like they've gained a new weapon. The Graal will hover behind and stalk the player like it did previously.

The player will reap some sort of incremental benifit from the Graal they have, depending on which color it is. The Black Graal will supply it's "holder" with unlimited ammo, but while the player has it, their AP will decrease faster; The White Graal will supply it's "holder" with unlimited magic, and while the player has it their hearts will have a slow increase, raising 0.5 in a similar speed to what beds heal players at. The healing will only heal the player however, to how many hearts their AP restricts them to, and the healing will not occur if the player is paused. Like the previous, when the player has eventually died (and only when the player has died) the Graal will remain stagnant next to the player until it is picked up by it's new owner, and will delete itself from the players inventory.

Both the Black and the White Graal will have a small aesthetic change from the old Graal images, but will be consistant with the others.

While the benefits of the players having the Graal's aren't too grand, the actual main benefit is bragging rights. Showing off the fact they've got a Graal following them will occur. It's kind of like when a member of staff has a special NPC; a certain player has it, but this time you know you can get it, and can take it off the player. It's really a trivial little activity, but it will constantly keep players active as it is an on going event.

Problem Solving
- Players with 100ap will not be able to pickup the Graal, simply because they cannot die.
- If a player enters any GC level, logs off or reconnects the Graal will destroy itself and respawn in one of the random levels.

Something like that would be cool IMO.

Pretty easy task.
On list, might not be exactly as the essay suggests though.

What would the Black and White Graals stand for?

y not brown or yellow graals.

As long as they contrast each other while providing some fitting benefit to the players I'm happy either way. It is also nice to reward exploration, so they definitely need to be in random places.

Do you mean graalats or graals? Graal = Grail.

Fitting benefits with good/evil themes will be there yes.
Also have to address pausing and no pk levels.

I like Rufus's idea. These Graals would add I nice twist on PKing and exploration.

What happened to the 4 grails/graals (red, blue, yellow, green I think) that you had to quest for? They would open the golden gate (bros house) and you would get the golden sword there.

At least, that is what it was designed for, on graal2000 at least. The problem was...they never released the golden sword, so you did those quests for nothing >:O

On the subject though, you could easily have 6-7 different graals that could be dropped/picked up 24/7, each with pros and cons. Would be pretty sweet.

exploring is a good idea tbh

Have you looked in the pool in the room before the Gnome throne room? The Graals are still in the new story.

man skyzer just owned you

how? i already knew that graal had a purpose

Any more suggestions? Please don't derail this one guys.

this one is sort of personal preference, but could we inforce the bomb/arrow cap? Currently we cannot get more than 99 arrows/bombs by ourselves, but with another player's help you can go over the cap by having them transfer their arrows/bombs.

also, fix the heart display for when you get hit (the number of hearts remaining appearing over your head) so it looks like it should (what you see Offline when you take damage).

I'm tired, if you don't understand what I mean, then wait for my repost tomorrow.

get creative and make new stuff ffs

What kind of new stuff do you want to see?

Why would you fix that? You guys need to make like quivers(quivers i think?) and bomb bags so we can eventually hold up to 999 with the max one. There needs to be more then one bomb and arrow type.

There's a cap for a reason.

I don't know about 999 but I'll add it to the list.

We used to have these things :p

Could have something like Magic Fairy Fountains from Zelda that you have to find throughout the overworld (WITH NO HINTS even though someone will make a guide for it) which gives you bomb upgrades,quiver upgrades, could also shorten the magic meter and get magic upgrades oh and make a wallet that you can upgrade too.

Superbomb used bombs as ammo.
Superbow(multishot) used arrows for ammo.
No need for different ammo types.

Auto Bow was purchased in Chaotica?

I don't know if the dev team plans to introduce the charging system that GTA's bow had though.

Forget GTA
