CoH PvP 2: Any Interest In This Server Idea?

[kedra]

A lot of things are still up in the air right now, but here is the general idea:

• Max Level: 51
• Fully PvP with 1 item loot
• Customized SMALL World (About 8 zones total - City, several hunting zones, dungeon nexus which branches out into several other dungeons.)
• There is one safe city where all players begin and 1 additional town (perhaps a rival faction?)
• Players may create their own guilds
• All players start as 1 Human Warrior
• Players may change their class anytime after finding Lore, No Drop item 'X' (ie. "Tome of the Magician", "Tome of the Monk", etc...These will be rare drops. Changing your class preserves your level, skills, spellbook, items)
• Players may change their race after finding Lore, No Drop item 'Y' (ie. "Essence of Dark Elf", "Essence of Iksar", etc...these will be rare drops)
• All items are No Drop
• All Spells are Dropable
• Classic CoH Loot system (If you're not familiar with this, it basically includes most Live loot up to about Kunark armor strength. Equipment drops randomly from mobs of the appropriate level and, in general, drop rates are high. Because of the high volume of items, you may never see the same item drop twice)

I may have forgotten a few things, but I think those are the major points.

Our ultimate goal is to develop a server where players don't choose their race/class right from the start, but, rather, they 'fall into' a certain race/class depending on the drops they get (spells, items, item X, item Y). I've been discussing it with a few people and it seems like it would be a lot of fun.

Would anyone be interested in playing on this type of server? Any feedback?

So when you say you keep spells, does that mean you can still cast spells that arent from your class if you last change classes?

i played on the origin of this server.
CoH 1 if you will..
There were 2 factions, freeport and Qeynos.
The PVP was quite intense with the small world. Unfortunately, the factions were lopsided. Once one side got stronger than the other side, no one wanted to be on the weaker side.. So all new characters created went to the weaker side, people played for a day or 2 while the stronger side womped them, and they decided not to play anymore.
Full pvp means no more teams? Not 100% sure on it since it still has CoH in the name.

I will say the GM/Dev did a great job, and was creative in the linear expansion of character progression from level 1. Picking sides, getting equip etc etc.. and the world set up was nice and tight.


The idea of starting as a human warrior is interesting, and the race/class progression is interesting.

I dont like the idea of being able to change with the Tombs.

The spells would remain scribed but unusable as the new class. So they could potentially come back as that class again and use those spells.

Additionally, they would have to remove all gear before changing their class to prevent the wrong class from having certain items equipped. And as far as race/class combinations go, they could choose to be a Troll Wizard if they want, but a lot of items may not fit them.

me/zark will play if you bring this out. Btw you still in school? or will you leave us again in 6 months? ;p.

PS: sup kedra.

[kedra]

Yea, still in school. We're really just getting feedback right now on whether or not the public thinks it would work. We're not sure what we're going to do with it yet.

[crazycloud]

I think it'll work. I liked COH1 alot. This idea seems cool.

VZTZ is a great server in my opinion, but I also never played COH, I heard everything is custom and it's a great pvp environment. I think that's what more players are looking for judging by the population on VZTZ. Unfortunately content can't be raced out on it so having another pvp server would be great, especially with all the great stuff I heard about CoH. By the way what does CoH stand for, call of heros?

[kedra]

Kedra you got a forum up and running?

No forums or anything yet. Like I said, we're still in the brainstorming phase. I may put something up later.

By the way what does CoH stand for, call of heros?

It doesn't stand for Call of Heroes. Why is everyone so concerned with what it stands for. It is what it is... just accept it.

Becuase it's there, and it's clearly a acronym, that's like saying my name is R.A. Johnson and saying R.A. is what it is; it's an abreviation for something.

EDIT: You'll keep getting these kind of questions if you leave them unanswered, not from me but other curious players.

[kastro]
