Title: About upcoming events
Post by: Izual on August 22, 2010, 06:21:57 pm
This topic will be used to share informations about upcoming events: small teasers, informations about the periods where some Game Masters won't do some events, their thoughts about past events, etc.

Feel free to comment, discuss teasers or whatever you think is useful, but behave. This topic is only for information of the players and for possible useful feedbacks from them, not for questioning GMs, trolling or arguing about something.

Event coming after next update, very documented. A part of the background:

Quote
Wastelanders these days only talk about one thing. The bars are full of terrible rumors about it. Over here at the Congress Hall, President Tandi has set up a reunion about it. In their underground shelter, the Brotherhood's knights are checking their security system. In Navarro, the patrols are not going as far from the outpost as they used to. Klamath's trappers only hunt in large groups now. The gunrunners have put more guards along the river of goo that flows near their fortress. Vault City almost stop to send caravans and patrols outside. Everyone is only talking about one thing: the [...]

Nope, "This Is FOMADNESS!", it's about tim for that, with the ghoulification of half of the server, the flooding of radiation in the wastes, the organised groups marching into previously guarded towns blasting the living shit out of anything that moves, noobs cowering in their tents, sandstorms blasting holes in the otherwise quiet environment, the glow suddenly warping into the populated areas, pretty much a relentless and shameless mix of quake and STALKER appearing all around the ingame world, sucks that the bases will not be seen by absolutely everyone, would be fun to see over 700 bases suddenly appear right before your eyes.

Prepare for a landing event, these days. Will be announced the day before it happens.

The low-tech event was good, some map issues and some balance problems I need to think about. There will be more event of this kind.
Title: Re: About upcoming events
Post by: Izual on November 19, 2010, 11:20:04 pm
A landing event happened today; it was fun, but unfortunately the server went down for an update or a fix, so I had to somehow cancel the event.

I will try to do another one this week-end.

If you have interesting comments/suggestions about it, please PM. ;)

Yes! I don't know if my previous tests (several months ago) were not accurate, or if something changed since then, but it is now certainly possible to do so (there's a tiny possibility that it doesn't work - I tested on a small route, needs to test it on the event's one before I start the event) but yeah, it is possible :P NPCs will run, players will shoot. The opposite would be fun too (depending on the route) but I want to try running NPCs first. :)

I just got some information from my contact in Vault City, he saw something in Ares! This was his message:

Quote
Why are these barrels blocking the entry further to the missile silos? The place is usually deserted, and now some activity is apparently happening?

After reading that, I went to explore the place more further, I found a small holodisk, it appeared to be a bit broken, but after tempering around with it, I got it working, this is what was left in it:

Quote
...what a.......these thi.....who....are...th...peopl.....they said someth.....out....tour..ment...

Wastelanders are highly recommended to avoid Ares for now, as something weird is going on there. Stay tuned!

So, today devs had a white mouse event for their new assassin-immobilize-and-kill script thingy.

We played the mice. Ha ha ha.

On another note, if this gets implemented as feature for sneaker builds in future...?

Well, the "Hello Ali will die" PvE event today was interesting.

(Why Hello Ali?)

For starts, PvP apes grapped equipment and started mowing bluesuits down - as always, until GMs flipped the table and promised 48-h bans for PKing.

That worked mostly good, even if ocassional friendly fire occured.

The waves consisted of SuperMutants with LaserRifles, Deathclaws, children with grenades pwning everyone, then there were masses of ghouls where the "Hello Ali will die" ghoul also appeared. The ants and ghouls were quite fun to shoot, NPCs pwned players, players pwned NPCs, the waves were quite balanced.

Hello Ali seem to have attacted for unknown reason the attention of GMs. This guy was permanently moving, running back and forth and bursted ghouls with cursing and catching friendly fire. No idea what made him so interesting.

For except the lags and sudden end of the event i must say, i enjoyed this event a lot.

How about we have another PVE, this time WITHOUT PVP apes ruining the entire game? It's annoying to try to enjoy an event(which comes around only once per couple of months) while seeing a 290 hp person with a name such as Tony_BG or RAPIST04 standing outside the spawn spots, shooting everyone for no reason whatsoever. It became frustrating enough that I stopped playing the event and stayed in the spawn, seeing how many bursts it took to kill the robobrain leading to NCR. Any solve please for people ruining the game and all opportunities in it?

I am afraid there is no way to leave scumbags outside,they were nasty at first,but when critters become stronger they tended to act less stupid by establishing alliances.That s where the fun begun,no one can do it alone vs a pack of angry deathclaws!

The part I saw was one guy leading a train, minigunning them, leading a train further, and killing any players on sight. Hardly an alliance. Even when the 666-9999 hp critters appeared, I still was faced with the melee threat of enemies, small range threat of fire geckos, and the ubiquitous threat of having 50 holes put into me, or one well placed hole in my eye.  ??? >:( :'(

The only way I found out so far is people in NCR talking about going to V15. Maybe once there was a server announcement, but I can't remember it.

When scheduled, too much people arrive and lag the server.

How? There is hardly anyone online anymore, and I don't blame them. With one thing and another getting worse with every update, I find myself going back to other games...I haven't been in FOnline for over a week already.
