Post by Epic on 05/09/03 at 21:28:21

I know most of you never played before the "big reset" but along time ago in your clan houses there were portals that you could click and it would bring you to a towns pub..(northkeep, cloud city nightmist ect...) erm...(nightmist, resthaven...)and whatever else....i know portals dont fit in the time of this game to much...but neither do elevators *shrugs* just a suggestion

It has been discussed many times before, the answer was and still is no.

Epic, i can see by most of your posts that you want to bring back all the old stuff..... i recommend playing Deity, as its similar to the old nightmist in a few ways. otherwise, get used to the fact that nightmist has, and will keep improving, and getting more advanced each update.

Umm, adding in stuff from the old one would also improve nightmist and make it more advanced..

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Gwerradon on 05/10/03 at 20:11:33

wouldnt make it more advanced, it would just give the game more stuff.

The only reason we loved our portals so much is because we relied on them so heavily and never tried to explore ourselves in those areas. Portals=nicotine

lmao, i wouldnt quite put it like that stotic. the portals were kinda like TP (town portals) in Diablo 2. except u didnt carry scrolls around and they didnt exactly run out in a matter of speaking lol.

Adding old things would still improve the game..its not like they would make the game worse at all.....and having portals were nice so you didnt have to run around all over the place and its especially a pain when its all laggy and your trying to run around with 6 crits, i dno tho...theres alot of items from the old nightmist that were badass and as far as the whole portal thing goes...if you use them and dont explore thats your own fault/problem right?..

just throwin out suggestions

Eh..what's the point of it really if all u can do it click a portal button and poof ur there. There's nothing to learn then, no maps to memorize, no challenge.

'JLH reported a bug from 0 saying: custom portal rooms'

On the todo list.

Post by Astrona on 05/11/03 at 20:28:52

That probably had something to do with the Staff Portal Rooms..I doubt he'll introduce portals back into the game for the players. And I honestly don't blame him.

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Bill on 05/11/03 at 20:38:07

But staff can already teleport around. :P

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Astrona on 05/11/03 at 20:39:52

Yeah but the portal rooms save them the trouble of typing in the commands and finding certain grid square numbers. They have them.

There is a portal room already in the staff room I believe.

Yes there is.

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Astrona on 05/11/03 at 21:03:36

There is. But the to do thingy states 'custom' portal rooms. The current portal rooms right now in staff rooms only consist of Pubs. JLH probably wants to be able to add frequently visited areas to the teleportation list on the portals, thus 'custom'izing them.

Heh. I got ready for work faster then i thought so I now have more time to 'grace' you all with my precense.

Actually the custom teleporting has to do with map designing rather than the staff portal.

Post by Gwerradon on 05/12/03 at 01:36:17

im not saying bringing back old stuff would make the game worse, infact, there are a few things in the oldmist game id like to see back in, but some things mentioned arnt worth putting back in. Bill, perhaps he meant portals that goto a certain place that cant be accessed via walking.

(to bill) Gateway on feudal online is an ability which can be casted by any class, this takes you back to the nearest tavern/town. it will cost alot of mana though so its not abused too easily. just thought u might like to know that :P

Thanks for correcting me Stotic. I was assuming. But I assumed wrong. Thanks for setting it straight! ;D

/t Astrona Neither are squares.

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Astrona on 05/12/03 at 05:02:47

Nope..This just reminded me of that whole you can't fit a square peg into a round hole thing..but of course..if its a small round peg..you can fit it into a square hole..Dear God I just realized how wrong that sounded..if it doesn't sink in..To bad..lol I'm not continuing that any further..I really gotta stay off the forums at night.

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Gwerradon on 05/12/03 at 06:03:28

wot if the circle has a width of 20cm, and the square has a side length of 30cm??

Title: Re: Portal
Post by Dwaerkyn on 05/12/03 at 22:36:53

Hmm, maybe portals that you have to PAY for to get to place to place? Say, theres a tower in Nightmist, and one in BT, and it costs 800 gold to climb up the tower and teleport to BT and vice versa.

Post by Alicia on 05/15/03 at 22:38:21

There is a (players) portal room in the game.....

What i find unusual however is how 2 of the major town areas (RH, BT/Sarka/Dendeya) are totally unconnected to the world map xept via sewers... What happened... did they build nm and arilin, then while building the sewerage system the builders suddenly have a brainwave, mined straight up and founded a new city? Then decided it was a good idea and did it again?
