A Pub for chatting?
#59224 - 05/22/08 10:38 AM |
Hi all, I am not only a noob to Dungeon Runners, but to this type of game, I was a big fps player for a long time. Anyway I am playing DR as "Indyskyz" and I am not sure how many people even like to chat or try and make friends online, but my Idea was to make a Pub that you could go into, once entered it would be like you joined a group with those inside and anyone there could type or voice chat to each other, also a dart board that you can challenge others to games for fun or gold, and maybe even a bling gnome toss, might be a fun distraction from the regular dungeon crawls. I have no idea how hard it would be to do, or if even possible. It would also be nice if while in the Pub you didn't get disconnected for being idle, but if you stayed inside for 15 mins or more your dungeons were automatically reset. I only thought of this idea because as it is now you can not really tell if anyone wants to chat with you or not, this way you would know anyone inside is looking to make friends or get a group going.  |

This has been suggested numerous times at IdeaRunners, though feedback was mediocre. I personally like the idea: although it's quite easy to socialise as it is. Just say something stupid in World Chat. |

Quote: Ahh didn't know that it was suggested already. I just think that it would be better to have a place to go that says "Hi I want to talk" this way other players are not bothered by the people talking when they don't want to. I also thought if you had some chezzy games inside like darts or the bling gnome toss it would be something different to do, like in the Doom 3 game there is an old looking arcade game in the corner of a room, you click on it and you punch stuff, or like a chess board two people can play together. The other thing, and I am not sure if it is the game or my connection, but if you stand around too long not doing anything, or even when moving things around at the bank I get disconnected, so it would be nice to have a place to go into where I could take a break, have a cup of coffee and a smoke and not worry about be disconnected. I can think of a lot more things you could do too, like having mugs of ale, or wizard pipes, and turkey legs to eat ale= bonus to ability to take damage for x seconds but you lose movement speed and accuracy pipes= increased intellect from relaxing but a loss in stamina Turkey leg= life bonus or one time monster bait. Anyway just some ideas. |

I support this idea, and voted for it on idearunners. Everyone who knows me in game (and here I suppose) KNOWS how I love to chat as part of the whole "experience" - it really makes the game for me. The ideas of the turkey leg, drinks, etc is a great idea and was going to respond here with ideas like that - but you already did! lol  To ADD to that kind of idea though, it would be neat if there were a dungeon "quest" (like with the Shivery quest kind of and extra level) under the pub in the "basement", lol. It could be a noob quests in townston where you go to talk to the barkeep (and thus get oriented to using the pub for convo, etc) and have to go down into storage to get more "supplies" from a mini-boss....oooo scary.  Anyways....I like it.  |
